lycoris/atrophy

A potyvirus from Chinese narcissus was transmitted mechanically to three species of Narcissus and to Lycoris radiata but not to 22 other test species. In western blot, the coat protein reacted strongly with Narcissus degeneration virus (UK isolate) antiserum. Antiserum raised to the Chinese virus

Lycoris aurea exhibits parallel venation, the main vein with many lateral veins in a longitudinal parallel arrangement. There are secondary lateral veins (SLV) between each longitudinal veins. In general, SLVs are not remarkable. In this paper, the material was one kind of Lycoris aurea mutant

A full-length cDNA (LC3'H) was obtained from a cDNA library of Lycoris radiata by DOP-PCR (degenerate oligonucleotide primer PCR), 3'race and 5'race methods. Compared with the other reported enzymes from different plants, the deduced amino acid sequence of LC3'H exhibits significant homologies to

LrPAL is a novel full-length cDNA isolated from Lycoris radiata by degenerate oligonucleotide primer PCR (DOP-PCR), 3'- and 5'-RACE approaches, harbours an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 708 amino acid product. Sequence alignment showed that the deduced amino acid sequence of LrPAL shared more

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), the first enzyme of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, participates in the biosynthesis of flavonoids, lignins, stilbenes and many other compounds. In this study, we cloned a 2,326 bp full-length PAL2 gene from Lycoris radiata by using degenerate oligonucleotide primer
