solanum viarum/proline

Plants like other organisms are affected by environmental factors. Cadmium, copper and zinc are considered the most important types of pollutants in the environment. In this study, a comparison of growth and biochemical parameters between the crop wild relative (CWR) Solanum nigrum versus its

The objective of this study was to investigate the chemopreventive potentials of glycine- and proline-rich glycoprotein (SNL glycoprotein, 150-kDa) isolated from Solanum nigrum Linne on formation of colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH, 20 mg/kg) in A/J mice.

We have isolated a full length cDNA clone (designated PTGRP) encoding a proline-rich protein from leaves of Lycopersicon chilense. Sequence analysis of the 552-bp insert revealed that the open reading frame encodes a 12.6-kDa protein. The deduced amino acid sequence of PTGRP consists of a C-terminal

A cDNA clone encoding a proline-, threonine-, and glycine-rich protein (PTGRP) was isolated from a wild tomato species (Lycopersicon chilense) (L.X. Yu, H. Chamberland, J.G. Lafontain, Z. Tabaeizadeh [1996] Genome 39: 1185-1193). Northern-blot analysis and in situ hybridization studies revealed that

Plant abiotic resistance in cultivated species features limited variability. Using genes of wild species serves as a valid approach for improving abiotic resistance of cultivated plants. In this study, we uncovered a previously uncharacterized proline-, lysine-, and glutamic-rich protein gene

This study was carried out to investigate apoptotic effects of the glycoprotein (SNL glycoprotein, 150 kDa) isolated from Solanum nigrum Linne, which has been used as an anti-pyretic and anti-cancer agent in folk medicine. We found that the SNL glycoprotein consists of carbohydrate (69.74%) and

This study was carried out to investigate the apoptotic effects of glycine- and proline-rich glycoprotein [Solanum nigrum Linne (SNL) glycoprotein, 150-kDa] isolated from SNL, which has been used as an antipyretic and anticancer agent in Korean herbal medicine. We found that SNL glycoprotein has

Solanum nigrum is a newly discovered Cd-hyperaccumulator. In the present study, the protective effects of proline against cadmium toxicity of callus and regenerated shoots of S. nigrum are investigated based on a high frequency in vitro shoot regeneration system. Proline pretreatment reduces the

In the present study, effect of different levels of nitrogen (N0, deprived; N25, sub-optimum; N75, optimum and N150, supra-optimum) in Solanum lycopersicum L. seedlings under NaCl (NaCl1, 0.3 g kg-1 sand and NaCl2, 0.5 g kg-1sand) stress was investigated. Biomass accumulation, pigments, K+

Formate dehydrogenase (FDH, EC 1.2.1.2.) is a soluble mitochondrial enzyme capable of oxidizing formate into CO2 in the presence of NAD+. It is abundant in non-green tissues and scarce in photosynthetic tissues. Under stress, FDH transcripts (and protein) accumulate in leaves, and leaf mitochondria

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a major crop world-wide and the productivity of currently used cultivars is strongly reduced at high soil salt levels. We compared the response of six potato cultivars to increased root NaCl concentrations. Cuttings were grown hydroponically and treated with 0 mM, 60 mM

The continuous increase of the human population worldwide has led to an increase of pharmaceuticals' consumption, such as diclofenac (DCF), a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), that is not removed by wastewater treatment processes. Although there is some research regarding the

Tomato is the crop with the greatest economic importance in the world and salinity stress causes a reduction in the quantity and quality of crop production. The objective of this work is to verify if the accumulation of proline and glycine betaine (GB) and their metabolisms improve tolerance to salt

Transmitting tissue-specific proteins (TTS proteins) are abundant in the extracellular matrix of Nicotiana pistils, and vital for optimal pollen tube growth and seed set. We have identified orthologs from several species in the Solanaceae, including Petuniaaxillaris axillaris

This study aimed to investigate the effect of water stress on the accumulation of proline in the leaves of transgenic potato lines generating fructans. The results of the series of bifactorial experiments in 2002 and 2003 indicated an increase of the proline level in leaves of all potato lines
