Using NO specific probe (MNIP-Cu), rapid nitric oxide (NO) accumulation as a response to auxin (IAA) treatment has been observed in the protoplasts from the hypocotyls of sunflower seedlings (Helianthus annuus L.). Incubation of protoplasts in presence of NPA (auxin efflux blocker) and PTIO (NO

Tyrosine nitration is recognized as an important post-translational protein modification in animal cells that can be used as an indicator of a nitrosative process. However, in plant systems, there is scant information on proteins that undergo this process. In sunflower hypocotyls, the content of

Present work focuses on tissue and concentration-dependent effect of nitric oxide (NO) on the modulation of cytosolic peroxidase (POD; EC 1.11.1.7) activity in 2-day old etiolated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seedlings. Exogenously supplied NO (in the form of sodium nitroprusside [SNP] or

Metal-polluted areas, especially where municipal sewage is used as fertilizer, often have high concentrations of more than one metal. The development of the root system is regulated by a complex signaling network, which includes reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The delicate balance of the

High temperature (HT) is considered a major abiotic stress that negatively affects both vegetative and reproductive growth. Whereas the metabolism of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is well established under HT, less is known about the metabolism of reactive nitrogen species (RNS). In sunflower

Protein tyrosine nitration is a post-translational modification (PTM) mediated by reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and it is a new area of research in higher plants. Previously, it was demonstrated that the exposition of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seedlings to high temperature (HT) caused both

Sensing of salt stress by sunflower seedlings accompanies temporal and spatial modulation of intracellular nitric oxide (NO) accumulation and protein tyrosine nitration as markers of nitrosative stress. Employing a novel NO-specific probe for NO localization (a copper derivative of

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of high-oleic acid sunflower seed (HOASS) in broiler diets. In the first experiment, HOASS was included in a basal diet at 80, 160, 240, and 320 g/kg at the expense of the energy-yielding ingredients, and the AMEn values of the experimental diets

1. The effect of a sunflower oil-enriched diet on plasma membrane-bound protein kinase C, protein kinase A, casein and tyrosine kinase activities was studied. 2. The diet induced an increase in the content of linoleic acid and a decrease in the content of palmitic acid. The anisotropy parameter (rs)

Nitric oxide is a significant component of iron signaling in plants. Heme is one of the iron sensors in plants. Free heme is highly toxic and can cause cell damage as it catalyzes the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Its catabolism is carried out by heme oxygenase (HOs; EC 1.14.99.3)

The primary structure of Stoichactis helianthus cytolysin III has been determined by automated Edman degradation of the intact protein and of peptides derived therefrom by hydrolysis with trypsin and staphylococcal protease and by chemical cleavage with cyanogen bromide and o-iodosobenzoic acid. As

Two hemolysins, Sticholysin I (St I) and Sticholysin II (St II) were purified from the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus combining gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. The amino acid composition of both cytolysins was determined revealing a high proportion of glycine, lysine, tyrosine

Four groups of rats were fed for 49 d on one of four semi-purified diets, without added cholesterol and containing 230 g/kg of the following isolated proteins: casein, whey, soya-bean or sunflower. Whey, soya-bean and sunflower proteins, when compared with casein, decreased the level of serum

An experiment was conducted to determine the additivity of apparent and true ileal amino acid digestibility values in soybean meal (SBM), sunflower meal (SFM), and meat and bone meal (MBM). A total of 63 individually caged 5-wk-old broilers were assigned to seven groups and given semi-purified diets

Nitric oxide (NO) and related molecules such as peroxynitrite, S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), and nitrotyrosine, among others, are involved in physiological processes as well in the mechanisms of response to stress conditions. In sunflower seedlings exposed to five different adverse environmental
