The wound-activated biosynthesis of phytoalexin hydroxycinnamic acid amides of tyramine was compared in untransformed and transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) lines that express tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC), tyrosine decarboxylase (TYDC), or both activities. Transgenic in vitro-grown tobacco
The effects of K-nutrition on growth (increase of fresh weight), bud formation (time of emergence, number of buds), and amine and hydroxycinnamic acid amide contents in foliar explants of Nicotiana tabacum cv Xanthi n.c. cultivated in vitro were examined. In K-deficient medium and in high K medium
Two new chlorinated amides, N-(2',6'-diethyl phenyl)-2-chloroacetamide (1) and N-(butyloxymethyl)-N-(2',6'-diethyl phenyl)-2-chloroacetamide (2) were isolated for the first time from the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Nicotiana glauca R. Graham in addition to triacontanol (3), scopoletin (4) and
Amiprophos-methyl (APM), a phosphoric amide herbicide, was previously reported to inhibit the in vitro polymerization of isolated plant tubulin (L.C. Morejohn, D.E. Fosket [1984] Science 224: 874-876), yet little other biochemical information exists concerning this compound. To characterize further
Feruloyltyramine (FT) and 4-coumaroyltyramine (4CT) participate in the defense of plants against pathogens through their extracellular peroxidative polymerization, which is thought to reduce cell wall digestibility. Hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:tyramine N-(hydroxycinnamoyl)transferase (THT; EC 2.3.1.110)
The patterns of secondary metabolites in leaves of yeast invertase-transgenic tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun NN) were analyzed. Plants expressing cytosolic yeast-derived invertase (cytInv) or apoplastic (cell wall associated) yeast invertase (cwInv) showed a characteristic
Evaluation of a significant part of the phenylpropanoid pathway metabolites is facilitated by the fast high-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analytical method. The technology described was applied in tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum
Asparaginases (ASPG, EC 3.5.1.1) catalyze the hydrolysis of the amide group of L-asparagine producing L-aspartate and ammonium. Three ASPG, PpASPG1, PpASPG2, and PpASPG3, have been identified in the transcriptome of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) that were transiently expressed in Nicotiana
Four related phenolic amides previously undescribed from the species were revealed during metabolic profiling of potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers. N(1),N(12)-Bis(dihydrocaffeoyl)spermine (kukoamine A) and N(1),N(8)-bis(dihydrocaffeoyl)spermidine were positively identified by comparison with
We studied the effects of dl-alpha-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA) and dl-alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), specific, irreversible inhibitors of arginine decarboxylase (ADC) and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), respectively, on organogenesis growth and titers of free polyamines and conjugated
We report the purification of hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:tyramine N-(hydroxycinnamoyl)transferase (THT) to apparent homogeneity in 12% yield from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi) cell-suspension cultures elicited with a commercial preparation of pronase. The purification procedure employs only
The hydrophobic cavity of Lipid Transfer Protein 1 from Nicotiana tabacum is investigated in detail by NMR using xenon as a spy. The analysis of the (129)Xe chemical shifts and self-relaxation times gives evidence of protein-xenon interaction. Thermodynamics of the binding is characterized through
The hypersensitivity reaction in Nicotiana tabacum var. Xanthi n.c. infected with Tobacco mosaic virus (T.M.V.) leads to the production of aromatic amides (ferulylputrescine, diferulylputrescine, p-coumarylputrescine and di-p-coumarylputrescine) inthe cells around the necroses. Similar compounds are
The effects of boron (B) deficiency on carbohydrate concentrations and the pattern of phenolic compounds were studied in leaves of tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Plants grown under B deficiency showed a notable increase in leaf carbohydrates and total phenolic compounds when compared to
