2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP), the volatile compound that provides the 'popcorn-like' aroma in a large variety of cereal and food products, is widely found in nature. Deficiency in amino aldehyde dehydrogenase (AMADH) was previously shown to be the likely cause of 2AP biosynthesis in rice (Oryza sativa
2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) was identified as an important aroma compound of aromatic vegetable soybean. The level of 2-AP in 6 aromatic vegetable soybean lines was found to be positively correlated with popcorn-like aroma score. Comparison between aromatic and nonaromatic vegetable soybeans found
Vegetable soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important economic and nutritious crop in South and Southeast Asian countries and is increasingly grown in the Western Hemisphere. Aromatic vegetable soybean is a special group of soybean varieties that produce young pods containing a sweet aroma, which is
Presence of the toxic metalloid, "arsenic (As)" is ubiquitous in the environment especially in the soil and water. Its excess availability in the soil retards growth and metabolism of plants via (a) slowing down the cell division/elongation, (b) overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), (c)
N2-fixing root nodules of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) convert atmospheric N2 to ammonia(um) in an energy-intensive enzymatic reaction. These nodules synthesize large quantities of purines because nitrogen fixed by bacteria contained within this tissue is transferred to the shoots in the form of
Mitochondria isolated from etiolated shoots of corn (Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.), and mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) exhibited a proline-dependent O(2) uptake subject to respiratory control. ADP/O ratios with proline as substrate were
Supplying l-proline to the root system of intact soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) plants stimulated acetylene reducing activity to the same extent as did supplying succinate. Feeding l-proline also caused an increase in bacteroid proline dehydrogenase activity that was highly correlated with the
The effect of simultaneous drought and heat stress on free amino acid levels was compared in wild type and transgenic soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr cv Ibis) plants transformed with the cDNA coding for the last enzyme of Pro biosynthesis, l-Delta(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (EC 1.5.1.2), in
Based on localization and high activities of pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase and proline dehydrogenase activities in soybean nodules, we previously suggested two major roles for pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase in addition to the production of the considerable quantity of proline needed for
Loss of tritium from a substrate is often used to estimate the rate of dehydrogenation. However, loss of 3H may be much slower than loss of H because of the tritium isotope effect. In order to assess the impact of the tritium isotope effect, loss of 3H from the C-5 position of proline during
Delta(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) is the rate-limiting enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of proline in plants. By the 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3'-RACE) approach, a 2,246-bp cDNA sequence was obtained from common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), denominated PvP5CS2
Fragrance in soybean is due to the presence of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP). BADH2 gene coding for betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase has been identified as the candidate gene responsible for fragrance in rice (Oryza sativa L.). In this study, using the RIL population derived from fragrant soybean
