daucus sahariensis/tyrosine

The growth of suspension-cultured carrot (Daucus carota L.) and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi) cells was inhibited by glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl]glycine). This inhibition was reversed by adding combinations of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan or casein hydrolysate. Casein

This study describes the isolation and characterization of p-fluorophenylalanine-resistant diploid tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) and diploid carrot (Daucus carota L.) cultured cell lines. The p-fluorophenylalanine-resistant tobacco and carrot lines can grow in medium containing

The activity of the first enzyme of the shikimate pathway, 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase, is demonstrated in extracts of Daucus carota cells grown in suspension culture. Maximum specific enzyme activity is found midway through the logarithmic growth of the culture; cells in

Extensins are hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) found in the primary cell walls of dicots. Extensin monomers are secreted into the wall and covalently bound to each other, presumably by isodityrosine (IDT) cross-links, to form a rigid matrix. Expression of the extensin matrix is correlated

Cultured carrot (Daucus carota L.) cells were adapted to growing in 25 millimolar glyphosate by transfer into progressively higher concentrations of the herbicide. Tolerance was increased 52-fold, and the adaptation was stable in the absence of glyphosate. The uptake of glyphosate was similar for
