daucus muricatus/phosphatase

Acid phosphatase localization has been studied, using the lead salt method, in suspension-cultured cells of the wild carrot. Enzyme activity in most of the cells was restricted to the walls and vacuoles. However, in some senescent cells activity was also seen in the nucleus, at one face of the

Ascorbic acid (AsA), also known as vitamin C, is an essential nutrient in fruits and vegetables. The fleshy root of carrot (Daucus carota L.) is a good source of AsA for humans. However, the metabolic pathways and molecular mechanisms involved in the control of AsA content during root development in

In callus tissues of Daucus carota rhizogenesis was influenced by addition to the cultures of solutions with different kinetin concentrations (0-0.1-0.5-2 mg/l) and a constant auxin content (1 mg/l). In these cultures the specific activity of glutamate-dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.4.1.2.),

Carrot (Daucus carota L.) cells plasmolyzed within 30 s after adding sorbitol to increase the osmotic strength of the medium from 0.2 to 0.4 or 0.6 osmolal. However, there was no significant change in the polyphosphorylated inositol phospholipids or inositol phosphates or in inositol phospholipid

The effect of carrot extract on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute liver damage was evaluated. The increased serum enzyme levels (viz., glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate pyruvate transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, sorbitol and glutamate dehydrogenase) by

Glycerophosphocholine (GroPCho) is a diester that accumulates in different physiological processes leading to phospholipid remodeling. However, very little is known about its metabolism in higher plant cells. (31)P-Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and biochemical analyses performed on carrot

Low phosphorus (P) availability is a major constraint to crop growth and production, including soybean (Glycine max), on a global scale. However, 50% to 80% of the total P in agricultural soils exists as organic phosphate, which is unavailable to plants unless hydrolyzed to release inorganic

The ABA INSENSITIVE1 (ABI1) and ABI2 genes encode homologous type-2C protein phosphatases with redundant yet distinct functions in abscisic acid (ABA) responses. Results from Northern blot analysis showed that ABA- and mannitol-inducible expression of the COR47 and COR78/LTI78/RD29A (COR78) genes

OBJECTIVE To assess the In vivo antioxidFant and hepatoprotective activity of methanolic extract of Daucus carota (D. carota) seeds in experimental animals. METHODS Methanolic extracts of D. carota seeds is used for hepatoprotection assessment. Oxidative stress were induced in rats by thioacetamide

Cultures derived from domestic carrot (Daucus carota L.) inbreds were found to vary with respect to regeneration potential as measured by the production of somatic embryos in suspension cultures. A number of biochemical parameters previously reported to distinguish embryogenic from non-embryogenic

A protease inhibitor with a molecular weight of about 12,800 was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from Daucus carota cells. The protease inhibitor was heat stable and inhibited trypsin but had no activity toward chymotrypsin or subtilisin. Nonembryogenic as well as embryogenic strains

The roots of a carrot (Daucus carota L.) cultivar, Kuroda-gosun, contain active substances causing formation of tracheary elements in cultured root phloem slices. In the roots of another carrot cultivar, Hokkaidô-gosun, such substances could not be detected but when root-phloem slices of this

The influence of external nitrogen (N) on carbon (C) allocation and processes related to phosphorus (P) metabolism were studied in monoxenic arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) cultures of Daucus carota. Fungal hyphae of Glomus intraradices proliferated from colonized roots growing on solid medium into

The influence of external phosphorus (P) on carbon (C) allocation and metabolism as well as processes related to P metabolism was studied in monoxenic arbuscular mycorrhiza cultures of carrot (Daucus carota). Fungal hyphae of Glomus intraradices proliferated from the solid minimal medium containing
