Constitutive over-expression of a maize sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) gene in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) had major effects on leaf carbohydrate budgets with consequences for whole plant development. Transgenic tobacco plants flowered earlier and had greater flower numbers than wild-type plants.
Variations in leaf starch accumulation were observed among four species (wheat [Triticum aestivum L.], soybean [Glycine max L. Merr.], tobacco [Nicotiana tabacum L.], and red beet [Beta vulgaris L.]), nine peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) cultivars, and two specific peanut genotypes grown under different
The plant sucrose transporter SUT1 from Solanum tuberosum revealed a dramatic redox-dependent increase in sucrose transport activity when heterologously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Plant plasma membrane vesicles do not show any change in proton flux across the plasma membrane in the
A 6.5 kb cucumber genomic DNA fragment containing the icl gene was introduced into Nicotiana plumbaginifolia and shown to direct isocitrate lyase (ICL) mRNA synthesis in transgenic seedlings upon germination, in a temporally regulated manner. Two putative icl promoter fragments, of 2900 and 572 bp,
Studies were conducted to identify the existence of diurnal rhythms in sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) activity in leaves of three soybean (Glycine max L. [Merr.]) and two tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cultivars and the effect of photoperiod (15 versus 7 hours) on carbohydrate partitioning and the
The sucrose binding protein (SBP) from soybean has been implicated as an important component of the sucrose uptake system. Two SBP genomic clones, gsS641.1 and gsS641.2, which correspond to allelic forms of the GmSBP2/S64 gene, have been isolated and characterized. As a member of the seed storage
Effect of salicylic acid (SA) on the expression of the potato proteinase inhibitor (PI) II promoter was studied with transgenic tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum) carrying a gene fusion between the PI-II promoter and the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat) reporter. As previously observed, the
Net degradation of cellular components occurs in plant cells cultured under starvation conditions, and autophagy contributes to the degradation of intracellular proteins. In this study, we investigated the degradation of membrane phospholipids by autophagy in cultured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)
Uptake of [14C]sucrose by plasma membrane vesicles from leaves of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) was measured after the imposition of an inwardly directed proton gradient (delta pH = 2) and an electrical gradient (delta psi = -68 mV, inside negative) across the vesicle membrane. The vesicles were
Three sucrose esters were isolated and identified for the first time from the surface lipids of Nicotiana cavicola. They contained acetic acid and such branched short-chain fatty acids as 5-methylhexanoic, 5-methylheptanoic, and 6-methylheptanoic acids. The structures of the sucrose esters were
The plant enzyme sucrose synthase (SuSy; EC 2.4.1.13) catalyzes the reversible conversion of sucrose and UDP into UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) and fructose. The enzyme exists in different isoforms and is both located in the cytosol, membrane-bound and associated to the actin cytoskeleton. We here
The response of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) suspension-cultured cells (BY-2) to nutrient starvation was investigated. When the cells that were grown in Murashige-Skoog medium containing 3% (w/v) sucrose were transferred to the same medium without sucrose, 30 to 45% of the intracellular proteins were
Sucrose esters and duvatrienediol diterpenes are principal constituents formed in and secreted outside head cells of trichomes occurring on surfaces of Nicotiana tabacum. Using trichome-bearing epidermal peels prepared from midveins of N. tabacum cv T.I. 1068 leaves, we found that chlorsulfuron
It has been generally accepted that autophagy contributes to the degradation of cellular components under nutrient starvation conditions. In a previous study, however, we showed that the degradation of membrane phospholipids occurs mainly by mechanisms distinct from autophagy in suspension-cultured
Mature leaves import limited amounts of nutrient when darkened for prolonged periods. We tested the hypothesis that import is restricted by the apoplast-phloem loading mechanism, ie., as sucrose exits the phloem of minor veins it is retrieved by the same tissue, thus depriving the mesophyll of
