We describe here the isolation and characterisation of the first full-length genomic clone encoding a plant glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH; EC 1.1.1.49) from Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Samsun. The gene was expressed in all tissues, including roots, leaves, stems and flowers. Comparison of the
Changes in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6P DH; EC 1.1.1.49) activity caused by infection of tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves with potato virus Y (PVY), cucumber mosaic virus, potato virus X, tobacco rattle virus and turnip mosaic virus, the subcellular localisation of G6P DH isozymes in
Two isoenzymes each of glucosephosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9), phosphoglucomutase (EC 2.7.5.1), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.43) were separated by (NH4)2SO4 gradient solubilization and DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography from
Expression of one specific isoform of plastidic glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) was manipulated in transgenic tobacco. Antisense and sense constructs of the endogenous P2 form of G6PDH were used to transform plants under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promotor.
Fe excess is believed to generate oxidative stress. To contribute to the understanding of Fe metabolism, Fe excess was induced in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia grown in hydroponic culture upon root cutting. Toxicity symptoms leading to brown spots covering the leaf surface became visible after 6 h.
Thioredoxins (Trxs) are ubiquitous disulphide reductases that play important roles in the redox regulation of many cellular processes. However, some redox-independent functions, such as chaperone activity, have also been attributed to Trxs in recent years. The focus of our study is on the putative
In tissue cultures of Nicotiana tabacum L. ribulose-diphosphate carboxylase and NADP-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase can be found only after transfer of the tissue to light. The increase of the activities of these enzymes parallels that of chlorophyll.The increase in
The significance of cell wall invertase (cwINV) for plant defense was investigated by comparing wild-type tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Samsun NN (SNN) with plants with RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated repression of cwINV (SNNcwINV). In source leaves of SNNcwINV, the activity of cwINV was repressed by
Maras Powder (MP) is a special kind of smokeless tobacco widely used in the southeast region of Turkey especially in Kahramanmaras and Gaziantep and other southeastern cities. It is obtained from a tobacco species, Nicotiana rustica L and ash of oak or grapevine wood. Tobacco may increase oxidative
The response of antioxidant enzymes to cyclic drought was studied in control non-transformed tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Petit Havana SR1) and two types of transgenic Pssu-ipt tobacco (grafted on wild rootstock and poorly rooted progeny of F1 generation) grown under different conditions of
A high proportion of the soluble peroxidase of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. var. Bottom Special) leaves is found in the fluid obtained by centrifugation of a buffer solution previously infiltrated into the intercellular spaces. Only a very small amount of the cytoplasmic enzyme, glucose 6-phosphate
