cotyledon/albumin

The structure of protein bodies differs in the upper and lower parts of the cotyledons of mature seeds of Cytisus scoparius L. The palisade-mesophyll cells contain essentially homogeneous protein bodies, without globoids, but the protein bodies of the spongy-mesophyll cells are heterogeneous, with

The 2S albumin genes of Arabidopsis thaliana are a model system to study gene expression during late embryogenesis. The at2S1 gene has previously been shown to be expressed essentially in the embryo axis, unlike at2S2, which is expressed throughout the embryo. Hybrid promoter constructs between

CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that fetal exposure to propofol can vary considerably depending on maternal plasma albumin concentration. A fractional change in the maternal protein binding of propofol can result in a relatively large difference in fetal exposure.

Seeds of Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC. (Fabaceae) were analyzed for protein composition of protein bodies isolated from cotyledons. Protein bodies were successfully separated by Lympholyte and those of dry seeds, observed by scanning electron microscope, were elliptical or spherical in shape with a

The changes in protein content of pea cotyledons have been followed during the period from 9 to 33 days after flowering. Initially protein content increased gradually with a rapid period of deposition occurring between days 21 and 27 after flowering. After the 28th day the rate of accumulation of

Developing cotyledons of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L., transport within their secretory system (endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus) the abundant vacuolar proteins, phaseolin and phytohemagglutinin. To identify proteins that may play a role in vacuolar targeting, we treated cotyledon

To understand translational capacity on a genome-wide scale across three developmental stages of immature soybean seed cotyledons, ribosome profiling was performed in combination with RNA sequencing and cluster analysis. Transcripts representing 216 unique genes demonstrated a higher level of

Germinating cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Deltapine 16) cotyledons developed two peaks of in vitro nitrate reductase activity; the first was stable in vitro and appeared 24 hours after imbibition; and the second, which was extremely labile in vitro, began to develop after the seedlings had

Germination represents a limiting stage of plant life cycle. One of the underlying metabolic activities following imbibition of seed is the reserve mobilization. Seeds of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. soisson nain hatif) were germinated by soaking in distilled water or 200 μM CuCl(2). Storage

Inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide during vetch seed germination, did not prevent globulin breakdown as indicated by a decrease in vicilin- and legumin-specific immunosignals on Western blots. Protein bodies isolated from embryo axes and cotyledons of dry vetch (Vicia sativa L.) seeds

The chickpea seed germination was carried out in 6 days. During the period it was observed a little variation on total nitrogen contents, however the non protein nitrogen was double. A decrease of 19.1 and 20.6% in relation to total nitrogen was observed to the total globulin and albumin fractions,

The placental transfer of propofol was investigated using the in vitro dually perfused cotyledon model of the human placenta, and the effects of protein binding in the foetal perfusate were examined. Both maternal and foetal circulations were perfused in a single-pass mode and > 30 min of

The intravascular volume of isolated perfused human placental cotyledons was measured by the mean transit time of injected radio-iodine labelled human serum albumin. The technique gives highly reproducible results with no evidence of change with time. The mean intravascular volume was about 6 ml per
