tyrosine/potato

The selection and characterization of 5-methyltryptophan (5-MT) resistant cell lines is described in a dihaploid potato, clone H(2)578(007). The frequency of resistant calli was increased by treatment of a cell suspension with N-ethyl-N-nitroso-urea. Two lines, 5-MT-21 and 5-MT-26, accumulated

Using analytical data from the literature the tyrosine turnover was calculated by a method published previously by us for 72 potato samples with different rates of browning. The samples included 9 varieties grown at three locations in 1969, which were analysed after harvest and after different times

As part of the response to pathogen infection, potato plants accumulate soluble and cell wall-bound phenolics such as hydroxycinnamic acid tyramine amides. Since incorporation of these compounds into the cell wall leads to a fortified barrier against pathogens, raising the amounts of hydroxycinnamic

Live-cell fluorescence microscopy was used to investigate the third triple gene block protein (TGB3) of potato mop-top pomovirus and its role in assisted targeting of TGB2 to plasmodesmata (PD). Wild-type and mutant TGB3 proteins were expressed under the control of the 35S promoter or from a virus

Functions of viral proteins can be regulated through phosphorylation by serine/threonine kinases in plants, but little is known about the involvement of tyrosine kinases in plant virus infection. In this study, TGBp3, one of the three movement proteins encoded by a triple gene block (TGB) of Potato

Catecholamines are biogenic aromatic amines common among both animals and plants. In animals, they are synthesized via tyrosine hydroxylation, while both hydroxylation or decarboxylation of tyrosine are possible in plants, depending on the species, though no tyrosine hydroxylase-a counterpart of the

Treatment of a native protein inhibitor of proteinases by tetranitromethane results inmodification of 3 (out of 8) tyrosine residues in each of the two subunits within the inhibitor molecule. Nitration of surface tyrosines does not change the corformation of the protein and has no effect on its

Mature native periderm that exhibits resistance to excoriation (RE) is the primary defense for potato tubers against abiotic and biotic challenges. However, little is known about the physiology of periderm maturation and associated gene expressions. In this study, periderm maturation events and

Three milk substitute diets, in which the protein was either provided exclusively by skim milk powder or partially (52%) substituted by a native wheat gluten or a potato protein concentrate, were given to intact or ileo-caecal cannulated preruminant calves. The apparent faecal nitrogen digestibility

Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) exhibits a well-documented nitration activity in relation to proteins and lipids; however, the interaction of ONOO- with nucleic acids remains unknown in plants. The study uncovers RNA and mRNA nitration as an integral event in plant metabolism intensified during immune

Late blight is a serious economic threat to potato crop, sometimes leading to complete crop loss. The resistance in potato to late blight can be qualitative or quantitative in nature. Qualitative resistance is not durable. Though quantitative resistance is durable, the breeding is challenging due to

The objective of the study was to explore the formation mechanism and thermodynamic properties of chitosan (CS)-potato protein isolate (PPI) complex under DHPM treatment. The transmission electron microscopic (TEM) results showed the formation of a complex between CS and PPI. Meanwhile, particle

Enzymatic discoloration (ED) of potato tubers was investigated in an attempt to unravel the underlying genetic factors. Both enzyme and substrate concentration have been reported to influence the degree of discoloration and as such this trait can be regarded as polygenic. The diploid mapping

Potato polyphenol oxidase activity was strongly and noncompetitively inhibited by the "Perov mixture" of coal tar components and by pyridine alone, while phenol competitively inhibited the enzyme. These two inhibitors are structural components of the parkinsonogenic neurotoxin
