Peroxynitrite is known as a strong deleterious species that may readily trigger several geriatric diseases via injuring cellular constituents. Proanthocyanidins, a biological flavonoids constituent of Pinus sylvestris L. bark, has been attributed a large variety of pharmacological functions to its
Protein tyrosine phosphorylation in angiosperms has been implicated in various physiological processes, including seed development and germination. In conifers, the role of tyrosine phosphorylation and the mechanisms of its regulation are yet to be investigated. In this study, we examined the
A novel Gram-staining negative, yellow-pigmented, non-motile, aerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated MAH-11T, was isolated from rhizosphere of Pinus koraiensis and was characterised by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The colonies were smooth, circular and 0.3-1.0 mm in
A gram-stain negative, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped novel bacterial strain, designated MAH-19T, was isolated from bark of Pinus koraiensis. The colonies were observed to be light pink coloured, smooth, circular and 0.3-0.7 mm in diameter when grown on R2A agar for 2 days. Strain
A yellow pigmented, Gram-staining negative, motile and rod-shaped novel bacterial strain, designated MAH-14T was isolated from rhizospheric soil and was characterized using a polyphasic approach. The isolated strain was aerobic, oxidase and catalase were positive, optimum growth temperature and pH
Previous studies demonstrated that wildfires alter spectroscopic characteristics of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) and increase specific disinfection byproduct formation potential (SDBP-FP). However, it is unclear whether characteristics of thermally altered DOM (TA-DOM) are altered by
Nine short-root-specific proteins from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) detected and isolated as individual spots by 2D-PAGE were identified. The similar peptide mass maps obtained for all nine polypeptide spots together with lectin-blotting results suggest that they represent forms of the same
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) released from forest leaf litter is potentially effective for the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), yet the inherent mechanism remains insufficiently elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effects of DOM derived from Pinus elliottii and
Leaf litters of Pinus elliottii (needle-leaved) and Schima superba (broad-leaved), which are commonly found in subtropical regions of South China, were decomposed in a field for 0, 30, 60, 90, 150, 210, 240 and 365 d to evaluate changes in concentrations, compositions and properties, and amount of
Extensins (EXTs) are a family of plant cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) that are implicated to play important roles in plant growth, development, and defense. Structurally, EXTs are characterized by the repeated occurrence of serine (Ser) followed by three to five prolines (Pro)
Extract of pine nodules (matsufushi) formed by bark proliferation on the surface of trees of Pinus tabulaeformis or Pinus massoniana has been used as an analgesic for joint pain, rheumatism, neuralgia, dysmenorrhea and other complaints in Chinese traditional medicine. Here we report the effects of
The shikimate pathway synthesizes aromatic amino acids essential for protein biosynthesis. Shikimate dehydrogenase (SDH) is a central enzyme of this primary metabolic pathway, producing shikimate. The structurally similar quinate is a secondary metabolite synthesized by quinate dehydrogenase (QDH).
