Effect of fluazifop-p-butyl treatment on pigments and polyamines level within tissues of non-target maize plants.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fluazifop-p-butyl (FL) is one of the most popular graminicides from arylophenoxypropionate group. These herbicides act as inhibitors of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) that catalyzes the formation of malonyl-CoA during metabolism of lipids and/or of some secondary compounds. On the other hand

A Zea mays 39-kDa thylakoid transglutaminase catalyses the modification by polyamines of light-harvesting complex II in a light-dependent way.

Only registered users can translate articles

A transglutaminase (TGase; EC 2.3.2.13) activity, which shared many properties with the TGase activity of the Helianthus tuberosus chloroplast, was observed in the Zea mays L. chloroplast and in its fractions. This activity was found to be prevalent in thylakoids; bis-(glutamyl) spermidine and

Inhibition of pig liver and Zea mays L. polyamine oxidase: a comparative study.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polyamine oxidase (PAO) is involved in polyamine metabolism and production of hydrogen peroxide in animal and plants, thus representing a key system in development and programmed cell death. In the present study, the inhibitory effect of amiloride, p-aminobenzamidine, clonidine,

γ-Aminobutyric acid confers cadmium tolerance in maize plants by concerted regulation of polyamine metabolism and antioxidant defense systems.

Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) accumulates in plants following exposure to heavy metals. To investigate the role of GABA in cadmium (Cd) tolerance and elucidate the underlying mechanisms, GABA (0, 25 and 50 µM) was applied to Cd-treated maize plants. Vegetative growth parameters were improved in

Cellular re-distribution of flavin-containing polyamine oxidase in differentiating root and mesocotyl of Zea mays L. seedlings.

Only registered users can translate articles

Plant polyamine oxidases (PAOs; EC 1.5.3.11) are hydrogen peroxide-producing enzymes supposedly involved in cell-wall differentiation processes and defence responses. Maize (Zea mays L.) PAO (MPAO) is a 53 kDa secretory glycoprotein, abundant in primary and secondary cell walls of several tissues.

Flavin-containing polyamine oxidase is a hydrogen peroxide source in the oxidative response to the protein phosphatase inhibitor cantharidin in Zea mays L.

Only registered users can translate articles

In this study, the specific contribution of polyamine oxidase (PAO), a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-producing enzyme, to the oxidative burst induced in maize mesocotyl by the phosphatase inhibitor cantharidin was examined. For this purpose, a pharmacological approach was applied using, either in vitro

Polyamine-stimulated phosphorylation of proteins from corn (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effect of polyamines (spermine, spermidine and putrescine) on in vitro phosphorylation of proteins from corn coleoptiles was investigated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Spermine promoted the phosphorylation of several membrane and soluble

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of polyamine oxidase from Zea mays L.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polyamine oxidase catalyses the oxidation of the secondary amino group of spermine, spermidine and their acetyl derivatives. The enzyme plays an important role in the regulation of polyamine intracellular concentration and is a member of the family of flavin-containing amine oxidases. Crystals of

Variations in polyamine conjugates in maize (Zea mays L.) seeds contaminated with aflatoxin B1: A Dose-response relationship.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cereal seeds, such as maize seeds, are frequently contaminated with Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), one of the most dangerous naturally occurring carcinogens. In plants, phenolamides are involved in biotic stress response. The data on variations of phenolamides in AFB1 containing seeds are

Comparative analysis of polyamine metabolism in wheat and maize plants.

Only registered users can translate articles

In the present work changes in polyamine contents were investigated after various hydroponic polyamine treatments (putrescine, spermidine and spermine at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 mM concentrations) in two different crop species, wheat and maize. In contrast to putrescine, higher polyamines (spermidine and

Polyamine biosynthetic pathways and their relation with the cold tolerance of maize ( Zea mays L.) seedlings

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: The present study was designed to investigate the inhibition role of two polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors, i.e., D-arginine (D-Arg) and DL-α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), in polyamine biosynthesis under chilling stress in

Exogenously applied spermidine alleviates photosynthetic inhibition under drought stress in maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings associated with changes in endogenous polyamines and phytohormones.

Only registered users can translate articles

Drought stress (DS) is a major environmental factor limiting plant growth and crop productivity worldwide. It has been established that exogenous spermidine (Spd) stimulates plant tolerance to DS. The effects of exogenous Spd on plant growth, photosynthetic performance, and chloroplast

Transport Interactions between Paraquat and Polyamines in Roots of Intact Maize Seedlings.

Only registered users can translate articles

Interactions between absorption of paraquat and the polyamines putrescine, cadaverine, and spermine in roots of intact maize (Zea mays L. cv 3377 Pioneer) seedlings were examined. Concentration-dependent kinetics for paraquat and putrescine influx were similar and both kinetic curves could be

Wound healing in plants: Cooperation of copper amine oxidase and flavin-containing polyamine oxidase.

Only registered users can translate articles

Copper amine oxidases (CuAO) and flavin-containing amine oxidases (PAO) are hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-producing enzymes responsible for the oxidative de-amination of polyamines. Currently, a key role has been ascribed to apoplastic amine oxidases in plants, i.e., to behave as H(2)O(2)-delivering
