Differences in the amino acid sequence between the bispecific NAD(P)H-nitrate reductase of birch (Betulapendula Roth) and the monospecific NADH-nitrate reductases of a variety of other higher plants have been found at the dinucleotide-binding site in the FAD domain. To pinpoint amino acid residues
Auxin response factors (ARFs) play an important role in modulating plant growth and development processes by regulating the expression of auxin-responsive genes. However, the modes of action of ARFs in birch (Betulaplatyphylla) remain largely unknown. In this study, fifteen ARF genes were
Cloning of allergens has contributed substantially to the understanding of mechanisms in allergic diseases by providing information about the sequence and hence biological functions of allergens. The major birchpollen allergen, Bet v I [Breiteneder H, et al: EMBO J 1989;8:1935-1938] and the
Ethylene responsive factors (ERFs) play important roles in the abiotic stress; however, only a few ERF genes from woody plants have been functionally characterized. In the present study, an ERF gene from Betulaplatyphylla (birch), BpERF11, was functionally characterized in response to abiotic
We analysed NO, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca2+ crosstalk during triterpenoid biosynthesis in white birch (Betulaplatyphylla Suk.) cells. Cells were pretreated with diphenyleneiodonium, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) or catalase (CAT), or a Ca2+ channel blocker or chelator before
The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) proteins play crucial roles in plant developmental and environmental responses. However, how they mediate gene expression to facilitate abiotic stress tolerance remains unknown. In the present study, we characterized BpHOX2 (encoding a HD-Zip I family protein)
Plant MYB transcription factors control diverse biological processes, such as differentiation, development and abiotic stress responses. In this study, we characterized BplMYB46, an MYB gene from Betulaplatyphylla (birch) that is involved in both abiotic stress tolerance and secondary wall
Geodiversity plays an important role in species establishment during spontaneous succession. At post-mining sites in the Czech Republic in 2003, we established plots in which the surface of the heaped overburden was either kept wave-like or leveled. Based on surveys conducted from 2006 to 2015,
Profilin, a multigene family involved in actin dynamics, is a multiple partners-interacting protein, as regard of the presence of at least of three binding domains encompassing actin, phosphoinositide lipids, and poly-L-proline interacting patches. In addition, pollen profilins are important
This research was carried out on plants Taraxacum officinale, Plantago lanceolata, Betulapendula and Robinia pseudoacacia growing in urban biotopes with different levels of heavy metal contamination in the city of Dąbrowa Górnicza (southern Poland). Based on the pollution index, the highest heavy
A complementary DNA encoding a pollen allergen from white birch (Betula verrucosa) that was isolated from a pollen complementary DNA library with serum immunoglobulin E from a birchpollen-allergic individual revealed significant sequence homology to profilins. The recombinant protein showed high
