The transport of l-arginine (l-Arg), l-aspartic acid (l-Asp), l-histidine (l-His), and l-phenylalanine (l-Phe) has been investigated in suspension cultures of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Wisconsin 38 cells. Uptake of these amino acids is pH- and energy-dependent, concentrative (except for l-Asp),
Polyamine metabolism was examined in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) exposed to a single ozone treatment (5 or 7 hours) and then postcultivated in pollutant-free air. The levels of free and conjugated putrescine were rapidly increased in the ozone-tolerant cultivar Bel B and remained high for 3 days.
We demonstrate the use of laser photoacoustic detection (LPAD) as a highly sensitive method to detect in planta nitric oxide ((*)NO) production from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). LPAD calibration against (*)NO gas demonstrated a linear relationship over 2 orders of magnitude with a detection
NO-synthase (NOS) is a heme-containing enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of L-arginine to nitric oxide, an important cellular signaling molecule. Recently, it was found that aqueous extracts of tobacco cigarettes cause the inactivation of the neuronal isoform of NOS (nNOS) and that this may
C(2)H(4) is associated with plant defense, but its role during the hypersensitive response (HR) remains largely uncharacterized. C(2)H(4) production in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) following inoculation with HR-eliciting Pseudomonas syringae pathovars measured by laser photoacoustic detection was
Nitric oxide (NO) is a bioactive gas and functions as a signaling molecule in plants exposed to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses including cadmium (Cd(2+)). Cd(2+) is a non-essential and toxic heavy metal, which has been reported to induce programmed cell death (PCD) in plants. Here, we
The sulfur requirements of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. var. Xanthi) XD cells grown in chemically defined liquid media can be satisfied by sulfate, thiosulfate, l-cyst(e)ine, l-methionine or glutathione, and somewhat less effectively by d-cyst (e) ine, d-methionine or dl-homocyst (e)ine. Sulfate
Cadmium ions are notorious environmental pollutants. To adapt to cadmium-induced deleterious effects plants have developed sophisticated defense mechanisms. However, the signaling pathways underlying the plant response to cadmium are still elusive. Our data demonstrate that SnRK2s (for SNF1-related
