CONCLUSIONS
There are significant differences between the DGIs and LGTs. Additionally, most of the characteristics indicate that the DGIs are more similar to recovered tissue and can resist viral attacks. Dark green islands (DGIs) surrounded by light green tissues (LGTs) are common leaf symptoms of
Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBPCase) from several plants had substantially greater activity in extracts from lightexposed leaves than dark leaves, even when the extracts were incubated in vitro with saturating HCO(3) (-) and Mg(2+) concentrations. This occurred in Glycine max,
Although cytokinins (CKs) affect a number of processes connected with chloroplasts, it has never been rigorously proven that chloroplasts contain CKs. We isolated intact chloroplasts from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv SR1) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Ritmo) leaves and determined their CKs
Gravitropism in dark-grown hypocotyls of the wild type was compared with a starch-deficient Nicotiana sylvestris mutant (NS 458) to test the effects of starch deficiency on gravity sensing. In a time course of curvature measured using infrared video, the response of the mutant was greatly reduced
Using transgenic Nicotiana plumbaginifolia seedlings in which the calcium reporter aequorin is targeted to the chloroplast stroma, we found that darkness stimulates a considerable flux of Ca(2+) into the stroma. This Ca(2+) flux did not occur immediately after the light-to-dark transition but began
The aim of this work was to study the effect of elevated fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-bisP) levels on carbohydrate metabolism in leaves in the dark. In transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) lines containing mammalian 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity there is an inverse relationship
Preincubation of illuminated tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaf disks in glycidate (2,3-epoxypropionate) or glyoxylate inhibited photorespiration by about 40% as determined by the ratio of (14)CO(2) evolved into CO(2)-free air in light and in darkness. However, under identical preincubation
This work analyses the effects of alternation of light/dark periods pretreatment (AL) in tobacco plantlets (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv.Virginie vk51) growing in solution with low concentration of the clomazone herbicide. The experimentation has been carried out by exposing the plantlets to successive
A simple method using molecular hybridization was devised to quantitatively measure chloroplast DNA synthesis in vivo. Total cellular DNA isolated from Nicotiana tabacum suspension cells, labeled with (3)H-thymidine, was hybridized to nitrocellulose membrane-bound cloned chloroplast DNA (ct DNA)
The influence of light-dark cycles and nitrate supply on nitrate reductase (NR) mRNA levels was studied in two plant species, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) using specific NR DNA probes. In the same series of experiments, changes in the levels of NR protein (NRP) by
In order to study the effect of repression of 14-3-3 genes on actual activity of the nitrate reductase (NR) in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, Nb14-3-3a gene was silenced by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) method using potato virus X (PVX). Expression of Nb14-3-3a as well as Nb14-3-3b genes was
Photosystem I (PSI) is a major player in the light reactions of photosynthesis. In higher plants, it consists of a core complex and four external antennae, Lhca1-4 forming the PSI-light-harvesting complex I (LHCI) supercomplex. The protein and pigment composition as well as the spectroscopic
A gene encoding a basic-type pathogenesis-related protein from Nicotiana tabacum (prb-1b) was cloned, sequenced and characterized. It contains an open reading frame of 179 amino acids that is ca. 65% homologous with the acidic PR-1 class of pathogenesis-related proteins and 87% homologous with a
Ascorbate oxidase (AO) is an apoplastic enzyme that uses oxygen to catalyse the oxidation of ascorbate (AA) to dehydroascorbate (DHA) via the unstable radical monodehydroascorbate (MDHA). Here, we report that transgenic tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi) with an in vivo lowered
