The safener fenclorim (4,6-dichloro-2-phenylpyrimidine) increases tolerance to chloroacetanilide herbicides in rice by enhancing the expression of detoxifying glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Fenclorim also enhances GSTs in Arabidopsis thaliana, and while investigating the functional significance
The apoptotic cell death of Jurkat cells due to Cd(2+) toxicity was studied by fluorescence microscopic observation and DNA fragmentation assaying. It was suggested that the apoptotic response to Cd(2+) was less clear than that to a typical apoptosis inducer, ultraviolet light (254 nm). Examination
A ferritin cDNA, AtFer1, from seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana has been characterized. The deduced amino acid sequence of the AtFer1 protein indicates that A. thaliana ferritin shares the same characteristics as the plant ferritin already characterized from the Leguminosae and Graminacea families:
Bisphenol A (BPA), an intermediate chemical used for synthesizing polycarbonate plastics, has now become a wide spread organic pollutant. It percolates from a variety of sources, and plants are among the first organisms to encounter, absorb, and metabolize it, while its toxic effects are not yet
