Glycine hydroxamate is a competitive inhibitor of glycine decarboxylation and serine formation (referred to as glycine decarboxylase activity) in particulate preparations obtained from both callus and leaf tissue of tobacco. In preparations from tobacco callus tissues, the K(i) for glycine
1. Nicotinic effects on glycine release were investigated in slices of lumbar spinal cord using conventional whole-cell recordings. In most of the substantia gelatinosa (SG) neurons tested, nicotine increased the frequency of the glycinergic spontaneous miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents
Cigarette smokers with brain damage involving the insular cortex display cessation of tobacco smoking, suggesting that this region may contribute to nicotine addiction. In the present study, we speculated that molecules in the insular cortex that are sensitive to experimental traumatic brain injury
A cDNA clone for a transcript preferentially expressed during an early phase of flooding was isolated from Nicotiana tabacum. Nucleotide sequencing of the cDNA clone identified an open reading frame that has high homology to the previously reported glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins. The open reading
Seven lines of haploid Nicotiana tabacum tissue culture selected for resistance to normally toxic levels of the glycine analog glycine hydroxamate, a competitive inhibitor of the glycine decarboxylase reaction, were investigated. The presence of glycine hydroxamate greatly increased the
The chromosomal stability of a number of somatic hybrids derived from soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) and Nicotiana tabacum var. 'Xanthi' were investigated. Several of the hybrid cell lines retained more than half the complement of N. tabacum chromosomes after 7 months of culturing. A number of
Glycine betaine is an osmoprotectant found in many organisms, including bacteria and higher plants. The bacterium Escherichia coli produces glycine betaine by a two-step pathway where choline dehydrogenase (CDH), encoded by betA, oxidizes choline to betaine aldehyde which is further oxidized to
The regulatory region of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase small subunit gene SRS4 from soybean (Glycine max) was cloned using TAIL-PCR and general PCR, and named the rbcS promoter. The promoter was fused with the GUS gene and introduced into Nicotiana tabacum via Agrobacterium-mediated leaf
A Phytophthora megasperma f.sp. glycinea cell wall glucan preparation was previously shown to protect tobacco plants against viral infection. Eleven plant defense-related genes were assayed for elevated mRNA accumulation levels in response to glucan treatment of tobacco plants. The expression of
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) (Heterodera glycines) commonly infests soybean (Glycine max), but has also been reported to infest haricot bean, mung bean, adzuki bean, some species of Lespedeza and Melilotus (3), purple deadnettle (Lamium purpureum), henbit (Lamium amplexicaule), field pennycress
Previous work has shown that tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants engineered to express spinach choline monooxygenase in the chloroplast accumulate very little glycine betaine (GlyBet) unless supplied with choline (Cho). We therefore used metabolic modeling in conjunction with [(14)C]Cho labeling
Certain plants produce glycine betaine (GlyBet) in the chloroplast by a two-step oxidation of choline. Introducing GlyBet accumulation into plants that lack it is a well-established target for metabolic engineering because GlyBet can lessen damage from osmotic stress. The first step in GlyBet
During the 2001 growing season, 191 symptomatic soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) plants were dug from production plots in Indiana, Wisconsin, and Kentucky. Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV), Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV), Peanut stunt virus (PSV), Tobacco ringspot virus
