Proteases associated with programmed cell death of megagametophyte cells after germination of white spruce (Picea glauca) seeds.

Only registered users can translate articles

During post-germinative seedling growth, the major storage organ of the white spruce (Picea glauca) seed, the megagametophyte, undergoes programmed cell death (PCD). Protease activities in megagametophyte cells that arise post-germinatively were investigated. The accumulation of protease activities

Host responses in Norway spruce roots induced to the pathogen Ceratocystis polonica are evaded or suppressed by the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor.

Only registered users can translate articles

The outcome of a compatible mycorrhizal interaction is different from that in a compatible plant-pathogen interaction; however, it is not clear what mechanisms are used to evade or suppress the host defence. The aim of this work is to reveal differences between the interaction of Norway spruce roots

TLC-Bioautography as a fast and cheap screening method for the detection of α-chymotrypsin inhibitors in crude plant extracts.

Only registered users can translate articles

TLC-Bioautography is a fast and effective method for assessing the inhibitory effect of compounds present in plant extracts against microbial species. However, this method has a hidden, currently underutilized potential for evaluating the presence of inhibitory compounds against selected enzymes.

EXTRA SPINDLE POLES (Separase) controls anisotropic cell expansion in Norway spruce (Picea abies) embryos independently of its role in anaphase progression.

Only registered users can translate articles

The caspase-related protease separase (EXTRA SPINDLE POLES, ESP) plays a major role in chromatid disjunction and cell expansion in Arabidopsis thaliana. Whether the expansion phenotypes are linked to defects in cell division in Arabidopsis ESP mutants remains elusive. Here we present the

Purification, characterization, and molecular gene cloning of an antifungal protein from Ginkgo biloba seeds.

Only registered users can translate articles

A novel basic protein with antifungal activity was isolated from the seeds of Ginkgo biloba and purified to homogeneity. The protein inhibited the growth of some fungi (Fusarium oxysporum, Trichoderma reesei, and Candida albicans) but did not exhibit antibacterial action against Escherichia coli.

Programmed cell death of the megagametophyte during post-germinative growth of white spruce (Picea glauca) seeds is regulated by reactive oxygen species and the ubiquitin-mediated proteolytic system.

Only registered users can translate articles

The megagametophyte of white spruce (Picea glauca) seeds undergoes programmed cell death following seed germination. This process is characterized by distinct morphological and biochemical features, such as DNA fragmentation and the induction of proteases. Biphasic production of hydrogen peroxide

Spruce budworm elastase precipitates Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxin by specifically recognizing the C-terminal region.

Only registered users can translate articles

A gut juice protein from Choristoneura fumiferana (spruce budworm) larvae that precipitates certain delta-endotoxins shows a unique specificity for the C-terminal amino acid sequence. Using homolog scanning mutants, we have identified a contiguous region of the Cry1Aa toxin which interacts with the

Spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) juvenile hormone esterase: hormonal regulation, developmental expression and cDNA cloning.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have used the differential display of mRNAs technique to identify Choristoneura fumiferana genes that are induced by juvenile hormone I (JH I). Of the six PCR products identified, one bound to a 2.8-kb mRNA from CF-203 cells whose abundance increased when the cells were grown in the presence of

Sustaining the growth of Pinaceae trees under nutrient-limited edaphic conditions via plant-beneficial bacteria

Only registered users can translate articles

Lodgepole pine, a prominent Pinaceae tree species native to western North America, is well-known for its ability to thrive in highly disturbed and degraded areas. One such area is the Sub-Boreal Pine-Spruce xeric-cold (SBPSxc) region in British Columbia, Canada, which is characterized by

[Effects of elevated temperature on soil organic carbon and soil respiration under subalpine coniferous forest in western Sichuan Province, China].

Only registered users can translate articles

To investigate the effects of elevated temperature on the soil organic carbon content, soil respiration rate, and soil enzyme activities in subalpine Picea asperata plantations in western Sichuan Province of China, a simulation study was conducted in situ with open-top chambers from November 2005 to

Roles of the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway in pollen tube growth with emphasis on MG132-induced alterations in ultrastructure, cytoskeleton, and cell wall components.

Only registered users can translate articles

The ubiquitin/proteasome pathway represents one of the most important proteolytic systems in eukaryotes and has been proposed as being involved in pollen tube growth, but the mechanism of this involvement is still unclear. Here, we report that proteasome inhibitors MG132 and epoxomicin significantly

Metatranscriptomics reveals the diversity of genes expressed by eukaryotes in forest soils.

Only registered users can translate articles

Eukaryotic organisms play essential roles in the biology and fertility of soils. For example the micro and mesofauna contribute to the fragmentation and homogenization of plant organic matter, while its hydrolysis is primarily performed by the fungi. To get a global picture of the activities carried

Autophagy and metacaspase determine the mode of cell death in plants.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although animals eliminate apoptotic cells using macrophages, plants use cell corpses throughout development and disassemble cells in a cell-autonomous manner by vacuolar cell death. During vacuolar cell death, lytic vacuoles gradually engulf and digest the cytoplasmic content. On the other hand,
