The content and the ratio of phytohormones, the activity of enzymes-antioxidants and lipid peroxidation, contents of proline and carotenoids in potato plants under the action of colchicines have been investigated. We have identified specific changes in hormonal balance of the plant initiated by the
Colchicine and some of its metabolites and derivatives were investigated regarding their inhibitory action against alkaline phosphatases from E. coli and calf intestine, and against acid phosphatase from potato. Colchicine itself was essentially ineffective, also its metabolites O2-demethyl- and
Cell-to-cell movement of Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) is mediated by three virus-encoded 'triple gene block' (TGB) proteins termed TGBp1, TGBp2 and TGBp3. TGBp1 binds virus RNAs to form viral ribonucleoprotein complexes (vRNPs), the transport form of viral genome. TGBp2 and TGBp3 are necessary for
Intracellular trafficking of viral movement proteins (MPs) in plants has mainly been studied using Tobacco mosaic virus MP30 (TMV MP30) as a model system. Because of the limitations of TMV MP30 expression in Arabidopsis thaliana, these studies have mostly been restricted to tobacco plants. Here we
Changes in polymerized actin during stress conditions were correlated with potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber protein synthesis. Fluorescence microscopy and immunoblot analyses indicated that filamentous actin was nearly undetectable in mature, quiescent aerobic tubers. Mechanical wounding of
A triploid hybrid (2n=3x=36) between a colchicine-induced 4x(2EBN) Solanum brevidens (a non-tuber-bearing species) and 2x(2EBN) S. chacoense (a tuber-bearing species) was used as a vehicle for germplasm transfer to S. tuberosum Group Tuberosum. The use of 2n gametes from the triploid allowed the
