Changes in soluble and cell wall bound peroxidase (POD, EC 1.11.1.7) activity, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5) activity, and lignin content in roots of ferulic acid-stressed soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seedlings and their relationships with root growth were investigated.
Ferulic acid, in the form of feruloyl CoA, occupies a central position as an intermediate in the phenylpropanoid pathway. Due to the allelopathic function, its effects were tested on root growth, H(2)O(2) and lignin contents, and activities of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD, EC 1.1.1.195) and
Phytophthora megasperma Drechs. f. sp. glycinea Kuan & Erwin (PMG) cell wall glucan has been extensively characterized as an elicitor of the pterocarpan phytoalexins, the glyceollins in soybean (Glycine max L.). Just recently, this glucan was shown to be a potent elicitor of conjugates of the
4-Coumaroyl-CoA ligase (4CL) is ubiquitous in the plant kingdom, and plays a central role in the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids such as lignins, flavonoids, and coumarins. 4CL catalyzes the formation of the coenzyme A thioester of cinnamates such as 4-coumaric, caffeic, and ferulic acids, and the
Soybean (Glycine max L.) cells cultured in B5 medium produce extremely low amounts of lignin. However, modification in the growth medium, by lowering the concentration of NO(-) (3) and PO(2-) (4), results in the lignification of these cells without affecting levels of cell wall-esterified 4-coumaric
