RNAi-mediated silencing of the HD-Zip gene HD20 in Nicotiana attenuata affects benzyl acetone emission from corollas via ABA levels and the expression of metabolic genes.
Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND
The N. attenuata HD20 gene belongs to the homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) type I family of transcription factors and it has been previously associated with the regulation of ABA accumulation in leaves and the emission of benzyl acetone (BA; 4-phenyl-2-butanone) from night flowers. In
Low-Tech, Pilot Scale Purification of a Recombinant Spider Silk Protein Analog from Tobacco Leaves.

Spider dragline is used by many members of the Araneae family not only as a proteinogenic safety thread but also for web construction. Spider dragline has been shown to possess high tensile strength in combination with elastic behavior. This high tensile strength can be attributed to the presence of
Ecophysiological comparison of direct and indirect defenses in Nicotiana attenuata.

After herbivore attack, plants launch a suite of direct and indirect defense responses that must be coordinated if plants are to realize a fitness benefit from these responses. Here we characterize the volatile emissions in the native tobacco plant, Nicotiana attenuata Torr. ex Wats., that are
Evolution of a novel and adaptive floral scent in wild tobacco.
Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
Many plants emit diverse floral scents that mediate plant-environment interactions and attain reproductive success. However, how plants evolve biosynthesis of novel and adaptive floral volatiles remains unclear. Here, we show that in the wild tobacco, Nicotiana attenuata, a dominant species-specific

Six-carbon (C(6)) aldehydes and alcohols are important components of the aroma and flavor of fruits and vegetables. Soybean lipoxygenase (LOX) isozyme LOX 3 was reported not only to produce less 13-hydroperoxides, precursors of C(6) aldehydes, but also to convert them to ketodiene products. Here, we
Maternal inheritance of cytochrome f in interspecific Nicotiana hybrids.

Cytochrome f has been purified to homogeneity, as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, from the leaves of Nicotiana tabacum, Nicotiana glutinosa and their reciprocal hybrids. The cytochrome was extracted from chloroplast membranes by sonication in 2% Triton X-100 and 4M urea and was
Ultrasound-assisted extraction of total phenols and flavonoids from dry tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaves.

Yields of extracted substances, as well as total phenol and flavonoid compounds obtained by classical and ultrasonic extractions from dry leaves of two tobacco types (oriental and Virginia) by two different solvents (acetone and methanol) at two operating temperatures (25 and 40 degrees C) were

Protein phosphorylation was repeatedly shown to be the most dynamic post-translational modification mediated by a huge orchestra of protein kinases and phosphatases. Upon landing on a stigma, pollen grain dehydration and activation are accompanied by changes in protein phosphorylation together with
Indole-3-acetic Acid Synthesis in Tumorous and Nontumorous Species of Nicotiana.

The synthesis of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in the enzyme extracts of Nicotiana glauca, Nicotiana langsdorffii, their F1 hybrid, their amphidiploid hybrid, and the nontumorous mutant of the hybrid was investigated. Tryptamine, a possible precursor of IAA biosynthesis in Nicotiana tabacum, was not
[Transgenic plant regeneration of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) haboring mammalian cyp2e1 gene].
Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
CYP2E1 enzyme encoded by cyp2e1 gene plays an important role in metabolism of heterogeneous organics in mammalian liver cells. The transgenic plant with cyp2e1 can metabolize various low molecular weight organic pollutants. However, it is unclear the mechanism of expression control of cyp2e1 in
Silencing Nicotiana attenuata LHY and ZTL alters circadian rhythms in flowers.
Only registered users can translate articles
Log In/Sign up
The rhythmic opening/closing and volatile emissions of flowers are known to attract pollinators at specific times. That these rhythms are maintained under constant light or dark conditions suggests a circadian clock involvement. Although a forward and reverse genetic approach has led to the
