Annealing effects on the structure characteristics and the digestibility of corn starch (CS)/corn oil (oil)/lysine mixture were investigated. The objective of this study was to provide guidance for designing higher slowly digestible starch. Confocal laser confirmed that lysine adhered to granules
Tannery wastewater mainly comes from leather industries. It has high organic load, high salinity, and many other pollutants, including chromium (Cr). Tannery wastewater is generally used for crop irrigation in some areas of Pakistan and worldwide, due to the low availability of good quality of
Lysine acetylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications and is involved in multiple cellular processes in plants. There is evidence that acetylation may play an important role in light-induced de-etiolation, a key developmental switch from skotomorphogenesis to
This investigation deals with the metabolism of the amino acids from the aspartate family in an attempt to correlate the high free lysine content and the increase of lysine-containing storage proteins in mature opaque-2 mutant seeds. During seed development the changing levels of free aspartate,
Maize is the predominant food source for the world population, but lack of lysine and tryptophan in maize endosperm cannot fulfill the nutritional requirements of humans. Hence, the improvement of lysine and tryptophan content is the ultimate goal of maize biofortification programs. In the present
Cytochromes b(561), a novel class of transmembrane electron transport proteins residing in a large variety of eukaryotic cells, have a number of common structural features including six hydrophobic transmembrane alpha-helices and two heme ligation sites. We found that recombinant Zea mays cytochrome
In maize, opaque2 (o2) and opaque16 (o16) alleles can increase lysine content, while the waxy (wx) gene can enhance the amylopectin content of grains. In our study, o2 and o16 alleles were backcrossed into waxy maize line (wxwx). The o2o2o16o16wxwx lines had amylopectin contents similar to those of
We report here the first instance of inherited intraspecific histone variation in plants. Maize lysine-rich histone I is composed of four subfractions that are electrophoretically distinct in long polyacrylamide gels. Initial segregation studies indicate that at least one subfraction shows mobility
Kernels of Zea mays were subjected to dehydration treatment at various times during germination. Embryos from kernels dehydrated during the first 36 h of germination are resistant to dehydration and subsequently germinate earlier than controls. Dehydration of kernels germinated during 72h leads to
Benzoyl-L-arginine p-nitroanilide hydrolase in the etiolated leaves of Zea mays L. has been purified 1,266-fold by a combination of gel filtration, ion exchange, and hydrophobic chromatography with a recovery of 13%. The specific activity of the purified enzyme is 5.7 units/mg protein. The enzyme is
The recessive mutant allele of the opaque2 gene (o2) alters the endosperm protein pattern and increases the kernel lysine content of maize (Zea mays L.). In this study, sequencing results showed that the o2 mutant was successfully introgressed into 12 elite normal maize inbred lines by marker
The Arabidopsis thaliana lysyl tRNA synthetase (AtKRS) structurally and functionally resembles the well-characterized prokaryotic class IIb KRS, including the propensity to aminoacylate tRNA(Lys) with suboptimal identity elements, as well as non-cognate tRNAs. Transient expression of AtKRS in carrot
Lysine-ketoglutarate reductase catalyzes the first step of lysine catabolism in maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm. The enzyme condenses l-lysine and alpha-ketoglutarate into saccharopine using NADPH as cofactor. It is endosperm-specific and has a temporal pattern of activity, increasing with the onset
Maize (Zea mays L.), as one of the most important crops in the world, is deficient in lysine and tryptophan. Environmental conditions greatly impact plant growth, development and productivity. In this study, we used particle bombardment mediated co-transformation to obtain marker-free transgenic
