eleusine coracana/protease

An ammonium sulphate fraction (20-60%) of bifunctional amylase/protease inhibitor from ragi (Eleusine coracana) was purified by affinity chromatography to give 6.59-fold purity with 81.48% yield. The same ammonium sulphate fraction was also subjected to ion exchange chromatography and was purified

The primary structure of a 9-kDa basic protein from rice seeds was determined by gas-phase sequencing of the intact protein and peptides derived from it by digestion with trypsin, chymotrypsin, and endopeptidase Lys-K. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 91 amino acid residues with

We have cloned and sequenced a 650-nucleotide cDNA from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) aleurone layers encoding a protein that is closely related to a known α-amylase inhibitor from Indian finger millet (Eleusine coracana Gaertn.), and that has homologies to certain plant trypsin inhibitors. mRNA for

Ragi bifunctional α-amylase-trypsin inhibitor (RBI) of Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn. (finger millet) simultaneously inhibits α-amylase and trypsin. In continuation of previous work on the cloning, expression and characterization of RBI, a bidirectional promoter from finger millet was explored on

Idli is a naturally fermented food, prepared using dehulled black gram dal and parboiled rice. In the first phase of the study, replacement of rice with some underutilized cereals like amaranth and finger millet was carried out at different proportions (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, w/w)

The ragi alpha-amylase/trypsin bifunctional inhibitor (RATI) from Indian finger millet, Ragi (Eleucine coracana Gaertneri), represents a new class of cereal inhibitor family. It exhibits a completely new motif of trypsin inhibitory site and is not found in any known trypsin inhibitor structures. The

Five total mixed rations prepared from finger millet (Eleusine Coracana) straw as a roughage (48%) and mixed concentrate (52%), supplemented with a 1% isoacid mixture (i-C4, i-C5, C5 and phenylacetic acid in equal proportions) or oil (groundnut oil, 5% more than the control) or urea (5% more

The effect of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4,5-T) on the germination and seedling vigor of different crop seeds was tested. Seeds of rice, maize, sorghum, finger millet, and horse gram were comparatively more tolerant to the chemical with no marked effect up to a concentration of 200 mg

Many plant pathogens inject type III (T3SS) effectors into host cells to suppress host immunity and promote successful infection. The bacterial pathogen Acidovorax avenae causes brown stripe symptom in many species of monocotyledonous plants; however, individual strains of each pathogen infect only
