Three piperidine alkaloid containing plants, Conium maculatum (poison-hemlock), Nicotiana glauca (tree tobacco) and Lupinus formosus (lunara lupine), induced multiple congenital contractures (MCC) and palatoschisis in goat kids when their dams were gavaged with the plant during gestation days 30-60.
Nitrilases (nitrile aminohydrolases, EC ) are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of nitriles to the corresponding carbon acids. Among the four known nitrilases of Arabidopsis thaliana, the isoform NIT4 is the most divergent one, and homologs of NIT4 are also known from species not belonging to the
Extracts from apple fruit (cultivar "Granny Smith") inhibited the cell-wall degrading polygalacturonase (PG) activity of Colletotrichum lupini, the causal agent of anthracnose on lupins, as well as Aspergillus niger PG. Southern blot analysis indicated that this cultivar of apple has a small gene
Lupinus polyphyllus (Leguminosae), Washington lupine, is a perennial herbaceous plant. In March 2008, in a campus greenhouse at the University of Torino, Grugliasco (northern Italy), a leaf blight was observed on 20% of potted 30-day-old plants. Semicircular, water-soaked lesions developed on leaves
The plant seed is a leading platform amongst plant-based storage systems for the production of recombinant proteins. In this study, we compared the activity of human adenosine deaminase (hADA) expressed in transgenic seeds of three different plant species: pea (Pisum sativum L.), Nicotiana
The expression of genes encoding conglutin gamma and a leginsulin-like protein has been examined in narrow-leafed lupin, Lupinus angustifolius L. Conglutin gamma is a homologue of basic 7S globulin (Bg), the insulin and leginsulin binding protein from soybean. Accumulation of conglutin gamma mRNA,
Twenty-one monoclonal antibodies were raised against the aspartate aminotransferase-P(2) isoenzyme from root nodules of Lupinus angustifolius [L.] cv Uniharvest. Induction of this isoenzyme is positively correlated with the onset of N(2) fixation in effective root nodules and is associated with the
Six hybridoma clones were obtained that secreted monoclonal antibodies against the aspartate aminotransferase-P1 (AAT-P1) isoenzyme from root nodules of Lupinus angustifolius [L.] cv Uniharvest. This enzyme is found constitutively in the plant cytosol fraction. The monoclonal antibodies produced
A plant of Sesbania speciosa with leaf mosaic and distortion symptoms was identified in a germ plasm regeneration plot at Griffin, Georgia. The Sesbania virus produced mild or moderate mosaic symptoms on Glycine max cvs. Bragg and Tracy M, Lupinus albus, Nicotiana benthamiana, Pisum sativum cv.
Fetal movement, observed by ultrasound imaging, was significantly reduced (P less than or equal to 0.001) in pregnant goats gavaged with Conium seed and Nicotiana glauca and temporarily reduced with fresh Conium plant. Conium seed and Nicotiana glauca induced cleft palate and multiple congenital
It is shown by tracer experiments with DL-[2-3H,5-14C]- and DL-[(RS)-5-3H,5-14C]rnithine, that the metabolic conversion of ornithine into proline, in three plant species (Nicotiana tabacum, Datura stramonium, and Lupinus angustifolius), takes place with maintenance of the delta-hydrogen atoms but
Phenotypes of five transgenic lines of narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius [L] cv Merrit) stably transformed with the isopentenyl pyrophosphate transferase (ipt) gene from Agrobacterium tumefaciens coupled to a flower-specific promoter (TP12) from Nicotiana tabacum [L.] are described.
Three of the nine subunits of the plastid ATP synthase, including the subunit of the CF(1) moiety (gene AtpC), are encoded in the nucleus. Application of cytokinin to etiolated lupine seedlings induces polyribosome association of their mRNAs. This appears to be specific as no such regulation was
Cyanoalanine hydratase (E.C. 4.2.1.65) is an enzyme involved in the cyanide detoxification pathway of higher plants and catalyzes the hydrolysis of beta-cyano-L-alanine to asparagine. We have isolated the enzyme from seedlings of blue lupine (Lupinus angustifolius) to obtain protein sequence
