Production of recombinant Oryza sativa non-symbiotic hemoglobin 1 (OsHb1) by Escherichia coli was maximized in shake-flask cultures in media containing tryptone, yeast extract, sodium chloride and byproduct glycerol from biodiesel production. Response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural

Substrate selectivity of glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (EC 2. 3. 1. 15) of rice (Oryza sativa L.) was explored in a comparative study of acyltransferases from seven plant species. In vitro labeling of acyl carrier protein (ACP) with (14)C or (3)H showed that acyltransferase from

The Asiatic rice borer Chilo suppressalis (Walker) occurs mainly on rice Oryza sativa L. and water-oat Zizania latifolia (Turcz). Certain ecological and physiological differentiations between rice and water-oat populations have been shown. To determine whether there is host-associated

A method is described for cryopreservation of cell suspension lines of rice (Oryza sativa L.) for use in protoplast research and as a way of retaining desirable characteristics of cell lines. The procedure involves pre-culture with mannitol, addition of a cryoprotectant solution of sucrose, dimethyl

The activation of H(+)-ATPase solubilized from plasma membrane of rice (Oryza sativa L. var Nipponbare) culture cells was examined by the exogenous addition of various phospholipids, free fatty acids, glycerides, polar head groups of phospholipids and molecular species of phosphatidylcholine (PC).

Tonoplast Intrinsic Proteins (TIPs) constitute a significant class of the aquaporins. The TIPs control water trade among cytosolic and vacuolar compartments and can also transport glycerol, ammonia, urea, hydrogen peroxide, metals/metalloids, and so forth. Additionally, TIPs are engaged with

Plants have the natural ability to withstand stress conditions through metabolic adjustments. The present study aimed at investigating the effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) application (0, 25, 50, 150, 250, 500, and 750 mg kg-1) in phosphorus-deficient soil in terms of growth

Zn deficiency is one of the major soil constraints currently limiting rice production. Although recent studies demonstrated that higher antioxidant activity in leaf tissue effectively protects against Zn deficiency stress, little is known about whether similar tolerance mechanisms operate in root

Suspension-cultured cell lines from plant species are useful for genetic engineering. However, maintenance of these lines is laborious, involves routine subculturing and hampers wider use of transgenic lines, especially when many lines are required for a high-throughput functional genomics

Inosine diphosphatase bound to Golgi membranes was studied in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv Nipponkai) cells. The enzyme was solubilized with Triton X-100 from isolated rice Golgi membranes and was highly purified employing a series of chromatography steps in the presence of 20% glycerol and 0.1% Triton

The major acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) associated with aleurone particles of rice grains (Oryza sativa L. Japonica cv. Koshihikari) was purified to homogeneous state by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Its molecular weight was 72,000 when determined by gel filtration and 68,000 when found by

The binding or precipitation of DNA onto gold or tungsten microcarriers represents one of the most crucial steps for gene transfer via the particle bombardment process. We have developed a simple and rapid method to monitor DNA precipitation onto microcarriers before delivery to intact cells or

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the only widely cultivated gramineous crops that cannot be infected by rust fungi. To decipher the molecular basis of rice nonhost resistance (NHR) to Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), the causal agent of wheat stripe rust, proteomic analysis was performed using

Transgenic suspension cells of Oryza sativa L. cv. Dongjin utilized as a host for producing recombinant human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4-immunoglobulin (hCTLA4Ig) were preserved in liquid nitrogen (-196 degrees C) after slow prefreezing in a deep freezer (-70 degrees C). The development of an
