isocitrate lyase/nicotiana

A 6.5 kb cucumber genomic DNA fragment containing the icl gene was introduced into Nicotiana plumbaginifolia and shown to direct isocitrate lyase (ICL) mRNA synthesis in transgenic seedlings upon germination, in a temporally regulated manner. Two putative icl promoter fragments, of 2900 and 572 bp,

Recent data have shown that distinct DNA sequence elements direct the germination and sugar responses of the cucumber (Cucumis sativus, L.) malate synthase (Ms) gene (Sarah et al. (1996) Mol. Gen. Genet., 250, 153-161). Such information is, however, lacking for the isocitrate lyase (Icl) gene which

Crop losses caused by nematode infections are estimated to be valued at USD 157 billion per year. Meloidogyne incognita, a root-knot nematode (RKN), is considered to be one of the most important plant pathogens due to its worldwide distribution and the austere damage it can cause to a large variety

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum var Havana Seed) leaf discs were supplied tracer quantities of [2-(14)C]- and [3-(14)C]pyruvate for 60 minutes in steady state photosynthesis with 21% or 1% O(2), and the glycolate oxidase inhibitor alpha-hydroxy-2-pyridinemethanesulfonic acid was then added for 5 or 10

The malate synthase gene (ms) promoter in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) was investigated with the aim of distinguishing DNA sequences mediating regulation of gene expression by sugar, and expression following seed germination. Promoter deletions were constructed and their ability to direct

We report the visualization of peroxisomes in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaves using fluorescently labeled antibodies to glycolate oxidase. In transgenic tobacco leaves the expression of isocitrate lyase was also visualized. In dual probing experiments both enzymes were shown to be present

In a previous report, the pepper receptor-like kinase 1 (CaRLK1) gene was shown to be responsible for negatively regulating plant cell death caused by pathogens via accumulation of superoxide anions. Here, we examined whether this gene also plays a role in regulating cell death under abiotic stress.
