proline/glycine max

The plant cell wall performs a number of essential functions including providing shape to many different cell types and serving as a defense against potential pathogens. The net pattern mutation creates breaks in the seed coat of soybean (Glycine max) because of ruptured cell walls. Using RNA-Seq,

We have investigated the wound-induced expression of two members of the soybean (Glycine max L.) proline-rich cell wall protein gene family and show that SbPRP1 and SbPRP2 exhibit unique patterns of expression after physical damage. SbPRP1 mRNA can be detected in the hook of soybean seedlings within

Presence of the toxic metalloid, "arsenic (As)" is ubiquitous in the environment especially in the soil and water. Its excess availability in the soil retards growth and metabolism of plants via (a) slowing down the cell division/elongation, (b) overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), (c)

Nodulins encoding repetitive proline-rich cell wall proteins (PRPs) are induced during early interactions with rhizobia, suggesting a massive restructuring of the plant extracellular matrix during infection and nodulation. However, the proteins corresponding to these gene products have not been

We have purified a cell wall protein from extracts of soybean (Glycine max) that was previously shown to be immunologically related to p33, a wound-induced carrot cell wall protein (Tierney ML, Wiechert J, Pluymers D [1988] Mol Gen Genet 211: 393-399). Amino acid composition analysis reveals that

N2-fixing root nodules of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) convert atmospheric N2 to ammonia(um) in an energy-intensive enzymatic reaction. These nodules synthesize large quantities of purines because nitrogen fixed by bacteria contained within this tissue is transferred to the shoots in the form of

The E1 promoter fragment (-249 to -203) is one of three auxin-response elements (AuxREs) in the soybean (Glycine max L.) GH3 promoter (Z.-B. Liu, T. Ulmasov, X. Shi, G. Hagen, T.J. Guilfoyle [1994] Plant Cell 6: 645-657). Results presented here further characterize and delimit the AuxRE within the

The pigmented seed coats of several soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) plant introductions and isolines have unusual defects that result in cracking of the mature seed coat exposing the endosperm and cotyledons. It has previously been shown that the T (tawny) locus that controls the color of trichomes

Mitochondria isolated from etiolated shoots of corn (Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.), and mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) exhibited a proline-dependent O(2) uptake subject to respiratory control. ADP/O ratios with proline as substrate were

Supplying l-proline to the root system of intact soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) plants stimulated acetylene reducing activity to the same extent as did supplying succinate. Feeding l-proline also caused an increase in bacteroid proline dehydrogenase activity that was highly correlated with the

The effect of drought stress at supraoptimal temperature on free proline and polyamine levels was compared in wild type and transgenic soybean (Glycine max cv. Ibis) plants having increased proline levels. Since glutamate and arginine are precursors of both proline and polyamines, it was assumed

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are members of a large group of hydrophilic, glycine-rich proteins found in plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria known collectively as hydrophilins that are preferentially expressed in response to dehydration or hyperosmotic stress. Group 2 LEA (dehydrins or

Further characterization of a proline-rich cell wall protein gene family from soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) has been accomplished by the isolation and sequence analysis of two additional genes, SbPRP2 and SbPRP3, which encode mRNAs of 1050 and 650 nucleotides in length, respectively. Like the

Two cultivars of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) were grown in solution with up to 100 millimolar NaCl. Leaf solute potential was -1.1 to -1.2 megapascals in both cultivars without NaCl. At 100 millimolar NaCl leaf solute potential was -3.1 to -3.5 megapascals in Bragg and -1.7 megapascals in

Peptidyl proline hydroxylase inhibitors block the growth of cultured soybean (Glycine max) cells and bring about the disappearance of the major salt-extractable hydroxyproline-rich protein, the 33 kilodalton repetitive proline-rich protein (RPRP2). Three polypeptides of 28, 20, and 14 kilodalton
