The γ-keto triazole derivative 4,4-dimethyl-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1-penten-3-one is toxic to Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi plants or cell cultures. Analysis of the sterol composition of treated wild-type plant material demonstrates that this herbicide is an inhibitor of the
Obtusifoliol-14alpha-demethylase (CYP51) is implicated in plant sterol biosynthesis. An Arabidopsis expressed sequence tag encoding a CYP51 was used as a probe to isolate Nicotiana tabacum L. cDNAs. Two types of cDNA clones were identified. Nt CYP51-1 and Nt CYP51-2 shared 97% identity together and
Nicotiana tabacum protoplasts have been transformed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing a T-DNA in which the gene CYP51A1 encoding lanosterol-14-demethylase (LAN14DM) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is under the control of a cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter. Two transformants strongly
Higher plants synthesize 24-methyl sterols and 24-ethyl sterols in defined proportions. As a first step in investigating the physiological function of this balance, an Arabidopsis cDNA encoding an S-adenosyl-L-methionine 24-methylene lophenol-C24(1)-methyltransferase, the typical plant enzyme
