The concentration of lipophilic plastid quinones (plastoquinone, plastoquinol, α-tocopherol, α-tocoquinone) in the C4-plants Zea mays and Atriplex rosea is lower than in the already studied C3-plants.In Zea mays the concentration of plastid quinones increases only a little with the age of the plant
Two Gram-stain-positive bacterial strains, designated as 5L6T and 6L6, isolated from seeds of hybrid maize (Zea mays L., Jingke 968) were investigated using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The cells were aerobic, motile, endospore-forming and rod-shaped. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene
Four Gram-stain-positive bacterial strains, designated 6R2T, 6R18, 3T2 and 3T10, isolated from seeds of hybrid maize (Zea mays L., Jingke 968) were investigated using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells were aerobic, motile, spore-forming and rod-shaped. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA
A Gram-positive-staining, aerobic organism, isolated from the rhizosphere of Zea mays, was investigated in detail. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, strain JJ-247T was grouped into the genus Bacillus, most closely related to Bacillus foraminis (98.4 %). The 16S rRNA gene
White, blue, red and purple corns (Zea mays L.) were lime-cooked to obtain masa for tortillas. The total phenolics and anthocyanins content, antioxidant activity expressed as total reducing power (TRP), peroxyl radical bleaching (PRAC), total antioxidant activity (TAA) and quinone reductase (QR)
Intact plants can reduce external oxidants by an appearingly trans-membrane electron transport. In vivo an increase in net medium acidification accompanies the reduction of the apoplastic substrate. Up to now, several NAD(P)H dehydrogenases, b-type cytochromes, and a phylloquinone have been
Chronic ethanol intake impairs several parameters of immune function. Since there is evidence that cytokine production by immune cells may contribute to the immunosuppressive effect of ethanol, we examined interleukin 1 (IL1) production by liver non-parenchymal cells (NPC) in ethanol-fed rats. Male
Cercospora zeae-maydis, the causal agent of gray leaf spot on corn (Zea mays), can cause severe yield loss in the United States. Quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides are effective tools that can be used to manage gray leaf spot, and their use has increased in corn production in the United
The present study evaluated the possible protective effect of ((2E)-3-[5-(2,3 dimethoxy-6-methyl-1,4-benzoquinoyl)]-2-nonyl-2-propanoic acid) (E3330), a newly synthesized hepatoprotective-quinone derivative, on experimental alcoholic liver injury. The intragastric feeding rat model for alcoholic
Four Gram-stain positive bacterial strains, designated as 4R1(T), 4R9, 4L13 and 4L18, isolated from seeds of hybrid maize (Zea mays L., Jingke 968), were investigated using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The cells were found to be facultatively aerobic, motile, spore-forming and rod-shaped.
The purpose of this study is to test the long-standing hypothesis that endogenous agents found in human breast fluid and in plasma are potential initiators of breast cancer. Therefore, we evaluated the tumorigenicity in the mammary glands of female CD rats of cholestan-5 alpha,6 alpha-epoxy-3
A slightly yellow bacterial strain (JM-87(T)), isolated from the stem of healthy 10 day-old sweet corn (Zea mays), was studied for its taxonomic allocation. The isolate revealed Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped cells. A comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate showed 99.1, 97.8, and
A Gram-stain-positive aerobic organism, isolated from the healthy stem of a Zea mays plant was studied for its taxonomic position. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis strain JM-1068(T) was most closely related to Nocardioides alkalitolerans (97.2%). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to all
A Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, non-endospore forming organism, isolated as a seed endophyte (colonizing the internal healthy tissue of plant seed) of sweet corn (Zea mays), strain CSE-5610T, was studied for its taxonomic allocation. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, strain
A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming bacterial strain isolated from the rhizosphere of Zea mays was studied to determine its detailed taxonomic position. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, strain JJ-64T was shown to be a member of the genus Paenibacillus, most
