Alkali soluble (humic acid-like material) (HA-like) (yield of 132 gkgdm(-1)) and the unhydrolized-alkali soluble (core-humic acid-like material) (core-HA-like) (yield of 33.4 gkgdm(-1)) fractions were extracted from maize plants and characterized by C and N determinations, DRIFT, and 1H and 13C-NMR
A cDNA clone encoding a basic thaumatin-like protein of Zea mays was recovered from a mid-development seed cDNA library. The gene, Zlp, encoded a protein that was nearly identical with maize zeamatin and alpha-amylase/trypsin inhibitor. Expression of Zlp mRNA was highest in the endosperm tissue of
Mycoplasma-like bodies, isolated from corn plants that were infected with Rio Grande strain of corn stunt, were maintained in an artificial cell-free medium. The agent apparently multiplied. Leafhopper vectors that were injected with the pure cultures transmitted the agent to healthy corn plants and
Cytokinin signaling is vital for plant growth and development which function via the two-component system (TCS). As one of the key component of TCS, transmembrane histidine kinases (HK) are encoded by a small gene family in plants. In this study, we focused on expression and functional analysis of
The ultrastructure and symplastic transport function of Ectodesmata-like (ED-like) of the root cap cells of Zea mays, during the detaching stage, were reported by using fluorescence and electron microscopy. It was described the process that plasmodesmata (PD) were gradually stretched and changed
Myosin has been localized to plasmodesmata in root tissues of Allium cepa, Zea mays and Hordeum vulgare using a polyclonal antibody to animal myosin in both fluorescence and electron microscopy. Labelling was also observed throughout the cytoplasm, mainly associated with the endoplasmic reticulum
Chromosomal proteins have been isolated from barley (Hordeum vulgare) and corn (Zea mays) nuclei by extraction with 5% perchloric acid. In each plant, one protein was shown to belong to the HMG proteins. Their molecular weights are very close to that of HMG 14 from chicken erythrocytes, as shown by
Cysteine-rich polycomb-like (CPP) proteins are members of a small family of transcription factors, which have been identified and characterized in Arabidopsis, rice, and soybean. In this study, we investigated CPP-like genes in the maize genome. The results revealed 13 putative CPP-like genes, which
Plants have evolved many mechanisms to cope with adverse environmental stresses. Abscisic acid (ABA) accumulates significantly in plant cells in response to drought conditions, and this is believed to be a major mechanism through which plants enhance drought tolerance. In this study, we explore the
The presence of legumin-like constituents within the globulin fractions of wheat (Triticum aestivum), rye (Secale cereale) and corn (maize, Zea mays) was demonstrated. Two-dimensional analysis of wheat globulins in the presence and absence of a reducing agent revealed the existence of reducible
BACKGROUND
Plant architecture is a critical factor that affects planting density and, consequently, grain yield in maize. The genes or loci that determine organ size are the key regulators of plant architecture. Thus, understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms of organ size will inform the
The DREB (dehydration-responsive element binding)-type transcription factors are classified into six subgroups, named A-1 to A-6. The members of DREB A-1 and A-2 subgroups have been reported to be involved in response to various abiotic stresses. However, there were only a few genes belonging to A-3
BACKGROUND
Previously we reported that mice deficient in toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) signalling were protected from diet-induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Another member of the toll-like receptor family, TLR-2, has been shown to play a role in lipid trafficking via uptake of diacylated
Pathogenesis-related proteins from intercellular fluid washings of stressed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves were analyzed to determine their binding to various water-insoluble polysaccharides. Three proteins (19, 16, and 15 kD) bound specifically to several water-insoluble beta-1,3-glucans.
OBJECTIVE
Children and adolescents are the top consumers of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) sweetened beverages. Even though the cardiometabolic consequences of HFCS consumption in adolescents are well known, the neuropsychiatric consequences have yet to be determined.
METHODS
Adolescent rats were
