hordeum brevisubulatum/tyrosine

Tyrosine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.25) from Syringa vulgaris L. cell cultures and from Hordeum vulgare L. seedlings is strongly inhibited by the phenylalanine analogue, L-α-aminooxy-β-phenylpropionate. L-α-Aminooxy-β-phenylpropionate is therefore not specific in its inhibitory action against

Chitinase isolated from Zea mays seeds is inactivated by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) in the absence of exogenous nucleophiles. Oligomers of N-acetylglucosamine,N,N',N",N"'-tetra-N-acetylchitotetraose (GlcNAc4), and to a lesser extent, N,N',N"-tri-N-acetylchitotriose (GlcNAc3)

The hydrolytic specificity of a 30 kilodalton cysteine proteinase purified from germinated barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Morex) was investigated using high performance liquid chromatography to characterize its hydrolysis of two small barley seed proteins, the alpha- and beta-hordothionins. The

Hordeins, the natural substrates of barley (Hordeum vulgare) cysteine endoproteases (EPs), were isolated as protein bodies and degraded by purified EP-B from green barley malt. Cleavage specificity was determined by synthesizing internally quenched, fluorogenic tetrapeptide substrates of the general

The cysteine endoproteases (EP)-A and EP-B were purified from green barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) malt, and their identity was confirmed by N-terminal amino acid sequencing. EP-B cleavage sites in recombinant type-C hordein were determined by N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the cleavage products,

Gramine, a natural indole alkaloid found in Hordeum vulgare has been possesses anti-mutagenic properties. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of gramine on inflammation and proliferation in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene(DMBA)-induced hamster buccal pouch (HBP) carcinogenesis.

A soil microcosm study was performed to examine the impacts of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nCeO2) on the physiology, productivity, and macromolecular composition of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). The plants were cultivated in soil treated with nCeO2 at 0, 125, 250, and 500 mg kg(-1) (control, nCeO2-L,

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important agricultural crop. Various studies on the genetic diversity, biochemical and molecular attributes on this species are known. However, information on nutritional variability in a large panel of barley cultivars is limited. Therefore, it is of interest for a

Increasing grain sink strength by improving assimilate uptake capacity could be a promising approach toward getting higher yield. The barley (Hordeum vulgare) sucrose transporter HvSUT1 (SUT) was expressed under control of the endosperm-specific Hordein B1 promoter (HO). Compared with the wild type,

Brome Mosaic Virus (BMV) has a tripartite RNA genome; each RNA and the subgenomic RNA encoding the viral coat protein share a highly homologous region of about 200 nucleotides at the 3' end, for which a tRNA-like structure has been proposed. Several sequences encoding functions, including replicase

Jasmonate-induced protein 60 (JIP60) is a ribosome-inactivating protein from barley (Hordeum vulgare) and is involved in the plant immune response dependent on the jasmonate hormones. Here, we demonstrate that transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana of the N-terminal domain of JIP60, from

Chloroplasts synthesize an abundance of different tetrapyrrole compounds. Among them are chlorophyll and its precursor protochlorophyllide (Pchlide), which accumulate in light- and dark-grown plants, respectively. Pchlide is converted to chlorophyllide by virtue of the NADPH:Pchlide oxidoreductase

Protein release from gibberellic acid-treated aleurone cells of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) was followed in pulse-chase experiments with radioactively labelled amino acids. After a 10-min pulse of [(3)H]leucine or [(3)H]tryptophan, label was incorporated into trichloroacetic-acid (TCA)-insoluble

The expression of the jellyfish green fluorescent protein (GFP) in plants was analyzed by transient expression in protoplasts from Nicotiana tabacum, Arabidopsis thaliana, Hordeum vulgare, and Zea mays. Expression of GFP was only observed with a mutated cDNA, from which a recently described cryptic
