obtusifoliol/トウモロコシ

The biochemical properties of cytochrome P-450-dependent obtusifoliol 14 alpha-demthylase (P-450OBT.14DM) from maize (Zea mays) seedlings were defined. In particular, the enzyme was shown by differential centrifugation to be localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. P-450OBT.14DM had an apparent Km of

Microsomes isolated from corn embryos (Zea mays) can demethylate the 14 alpha-methyl group of obtusifoliol 2. An enzymatic assay has been developed for obtusifoliol 14 alpha-methyl-demethylase in higher plants. The enzymatic reaction was shown to occur sequentially, converting obtusifoliol 2 to 4

The R-(-) isomer of methyl 1-(2,2-dimethylindan-1-yl)imidazole-5-carboxylate (CGA 214372; 2) strongly inhibited P450-dependent obtusifoliol 14 alpha-demethylase (P450OBT.14DM) (I50 = 8 x 10(-9) M, I50/Km = 5 x 10(-5) in a maize (Zea mays) microsomal preparation. Kinetic studies indicated

The roots of maize (Zea mays L. var LG11) seedlings were watered with a solution of Tridemorph (2,6-dimethyl-N-tridecyl-morpholine), a systemic fungicide, for 3 to 4 weeks from the onset of germination. Very few big up tri, open(5)-sterols, the major sterols of the control, were detected in the

Microsomes isolated from corn embryos (Zea mays) were shown to catalyse the C-4 monodemethylation of 28-[3H],24-methylene cycloartanol 1, leading to the corresponding 4 alpha-methyl sterol, cycloeucalenol 5. An enzymatic assay has been developed for the 4,4-dimethyl sterol 4-demethylase in higher

Several studies have shown that differences in lipid composition and in the lipid biosynthetic pathway affect the aluminium (Al) tolerance of plants, but little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying these differences. Phospholipids create a negative charge at the surface of the plasma
