acer pseudoplatanus/nicotine

Amyloplasts were isolated from a heterotrophic culture cell line of a woody plant, sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), and their DNA was purified. Conventional procedures for making a physical map were not easily applicable to the amyloplast DNA, since the yield of DNA was too low and the presence of

A compound that stimulated growth of soybean callus was isolated from spring sap of sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.). Insufficient compound was isolated to permit it to be characterised. A compound with identical properties was isolated from commercial maple syrup, the concentrated spring sap of

Cryptogein is a 98-amino acid proteinaceous elicitor of tobacco defense reactions. Specific binding of cryptogein to high affinity binding sites on tobacco plasma membranes has been previously reported (K(d) = 2 nM; number of binding sites: 220 fmol/mg of protein). In this study, biochemical

When radioactive d-glucosamine is provided to Acer pseudoplatanus cells in liquid culture in order to label those glycoproteins that contain amino sugars, it is incorporated predominantly into a crude cell wall fraction. This observation was confirmed histologically by preparing autoradiographs of

We have assayed the capacity of the fungal toxin fusicoccin to induce some of its characteristic effects (acidification of the medium, stimulation of K(+), and of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose uptake) in cell suspensions of Parthenocissus tricuspidata (Siebold et Zucc.) Planchon, Acer pseudoplatanus L. and

Seedlings of seven temperate tree species (Acer pseudoplatanus L., Betula pendula Roth, Fagus sylvatica L., Fraxinus excelsior L., Juglans regia L., Quercus petraea Matt. Liebl. and Quercus robur L.) were grown in a nursery under neutral filters transmitting 45% of incident global irradiance. During

Monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) generated against rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) purified from suspension-cultured sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) cells fall into three recognition groups. Four McAbs (group I) recognize an epitope that appears to be immunodominant and is present on RG-I from maize
