lemna/glycine max

Chromatofocusing of soybean (Glycine max L.) leaf lipoxygenases revealed three distinct peaks of activity. Based on their isoelectric points (pls), pH optima, and mutant analysis it appears that the leaf isozymes are different from those described from mature soybean seed. At least one leaf

Transglutaminase was purified to homogeneity from leaves of soybean (Glycine max). The molecular weight of the enzyme estimated by gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 80,000 daltons. This purified enzyme catalyzed the incorporation of [14C]-putrescine

A NADH-nitrate reductase inhibitor has been isolated from young soybean (Glycine max L. Merr. Var. Amsoy) leaves that had been in the dark for 54 hours. The presence of the inhibitor was first suggested by the absence of nitrate reductase activity in the homogenate until the inhibitor was removed by

The data reported here are associated with the article "Comparative phosphoproteome analysis upon ethylene and abscisic acid treatment in Glycine max leaves" [1]. Phosphorylation plays a critical role in the regulation of the biological activities of proteins. However, phosphorylation-mediated

Ureides dramatically accumulate in shoots of N(2)-fixing soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) under water deficit and this accumulation is higher in cultivars that have N(2) fixation that is sensitive to water deficit. One possible explanation is that ureide accumulation is associated with a feedback

The effect of light on the rate of ethylene production was monitored using two different techniques-leaf segments incubated in closed flasks versus intact plants in a flow-through open system. Three different plants were used, viz sunflower (Helianthus annuus), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), and

Plants are frequently subjected to different kinds of stress, such as salinity and, like other organisms, they have evolved strategies for preventing and repairing cellular damage caused by salt stress. Glycine max L. plants were subjected to different NaCl concentrations (0-200 mM) for 10 days.

A metalloendoproteinase from leaves of soybean (Glycine max) has been purified 1160-fold to electrophoretic homogeneity. The native protein is monomeric with a molecular mass of 15 kilodaltons as estimated by gel filtration and 19 kilodaltons as estimated by denaturing gel electrophoresis. The

This study performed with soybean (Glycine max L.), one of the most important crops for human and animal nutrition, demonstrates that changes in the leaf surface structure can increase the adhesion of applied droplets, even on superhydrophobic leaves, to reduce undesirable soil contamination by

Abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene play key roles in growth and development of plants. Several attempts have been made to investigate the ABA and ethylene-induced signaling in plants, however, the involvement of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in fine-tuning of the induced response has not been

Norflurazon is a bleaching herbicide known to block carotenoid biosynthesis by inhibiting phytoene desaturase activity. Soybean plants were treated with norflurazon, and we examined the effects on the desaturation of lipid molecular species in leaves using ammonium [1-(14)C] oleate labeling. In

A procedure based on a combined cellulase-Pectolyase Y-23 enzyme digestion and metrizamide-sorbitol gradient purification protocol was developed for isolating mesophyll protoplasts from mature leaves of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.). Based on chlorophyll content, this procedure results in a 10 to

Leaves within a canopy are exposed to a spatially and temporally fluctuating light environment which may cause lateral gradients in leaf internal CO(2) concentration and diffusion between shaded and illuminated areas. In previous studies it was hypothesized that lateral CO(2) diffusion may support

Soybean seeds (Glycine max) were grown in soil containing 10 ppm of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). After 76 days growth, three kinds of quinones, namely BaP-1,6-, 3,6- and 6,12-quinones, were isolated and identified. However, the formative mechanism of the quinones in leaves has yet to be determined.

The objective of this study was to investigate the isotopic composition of oxygen bound to phosphate (δ(18)O-PO(4)) in different phosphorus (P) pools in plant leaves. As a model plant we used soybean (Glycine max cv Toliman) grown in the presence of ample P in hydroponic cultures. The leaf blades
