actinomycin d/nicotiana

In suspension cultures of NT1 tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Bright Yellow) cells the cytochrome pathway capacity increased between d 3 and d 4 following subculturing and reached the highest level observed on d 7. The capacity decreased significantly by d 10 and was at the same level on d 14. Both

Hybrid cells from the cross Nicotiana suaveolens x N. tabacum expressed hybrid lethality at 28 degrees C in a thin layer cell culture system. Features characteristic of apoptosis, such as DNA fragmentation, chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation, were detected during expression of hybrid

De-novo synthesis of acid and basic peroxidases has been studied in cell suspension cultures of tobacco by incorporation of (3)H- and (14)C-amino acids. Incorporation rates were found to be high for acid peroxidases and low for basic peroxidases. Synthesis of all peroxidases was inhibited by

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) stimulated the formation of scopoletin and scopolin in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. ;Bright Yellow') cell culture. It especially stimulated the uptake of scopoletin from culture medium into the cells and the glucosylation of scopoletin to its monoglucoside,

Indoleacetic acid oxidase in tobacco callus cultures (Nicotiana tabacum L., cv. White Gold) was composed of at least two groups of isoenzymes, which were distinctly different in electrophoretic mobilities and in responses to growth substances. Indoleacetic acid had dual effects; at low

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) root parenchyma and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) stem pith, both known to increase peroxidase activity after excision, differed from each other in their isoperoxidase patterns and in the isoperoxidase responses to injury and exogenous ethylene.In potato root sections,

Two antiviral glycoproteins, active against mechanical transmission of two tobamoviruses, tobacco mosaic virus and sunnhemp rosette virus, and citrus ring spot virus (ungrouped), were purified from the dried leaves of Celosia cristata. These proteins, called CCP-25 and CCP-27, have M(r) 25 and 27

An elicitor preparation obtained from Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae, a pathogen of tobacco, induced an accumulation of proteinase inhibitors and a stimulation of ethylene synthesis in a tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cell suspension culture. About 30 micrograms per milliliter of elicitor were

A method is described to isolate transcriptionally active Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi chromatin from suspension-cultured cells. Enzymatic preparation of protoplasts with solubilization of the plasma membrane, Triton X-100 and homogenization resulted in chromatin free from cellular debris.

The influence of naphthalene-1-acetic acid and kinetin on protein synthesis in vivo was investigated by measuring the incorporation of radioactive amino acids into polypeptides of synthesizing polysomes. The second subculture of sterile pith tissue of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Wisconsin 38 grown on a

Indoleacetic acid oxidase in tobacco callus tissues (Nicotiana tabacum L., cultivar White Gold) was resolved into seven anionic isoenzymes by polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. Different concentrations of kinetin and zeatin in the presence of indoleacetic acid affected the level of this

Stochastic and nonstochastic post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in Nicotiana sylvestris plants carrying tobacco class I chitinase (CHN) and beta-1,3-glucanase transgenes differs in incidence, stability, and pattern of expression. Measurements with inhibitors of RNA synthesis (cordycepin,

The antiviral factor (AVF) from virus-infected plants, purified on polyacrylamide gels, could be labelled with radioactive phosphorus and its activity could be eluted from the gels. The radioactivity and the antiviral activity were co-purified and thus co-electrophoresed; hence, the previously
