Polyamines (PAs) are assumed to perform their functions through their oxidative product such as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) formation. However, there is only limited information on the interrelation between PA degradation and GABA accumulation under salt stress. In order to reveal a quantitative
We investigated the effects of exogenous spermidine (Spd) on the physiological status, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthase activity, and gene expressions in germinating soybeans under NaCl stress. The results show that Spd significantly increases sprout growth and biomass, decreases malonaldehyde
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a nonproteinous amino acid with some benefits on human health, is synthesized by GABA-shunt and the polyamine degradation pathway in plants. The regulation of Ca2+ and aminoguanidine on GABA accumulation in germinating soybean (Glycine max L.) under hypoxia-NaCl
Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr) leaves contain a low level (0.05 micromole per gram fresh weight) of gamma-aminobutyric acid (Gaba) but the concentration of this non-protein amino acid increased to 1 to 2 micromoles per gram fresh weight within 5 minutes after transfer of plants or detached leaves
Radioactive photosynthetic assimilates, translocated to a soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. ;Fiskeby V') pod can be measured directly by excising the stylar tip of the pod under 20 mm ethylenediaminetetraacetate solution (pH 7.0) and allowing the material to leak into the solution. Pods at the source
The hypothesis that rapid [gamma]-aminobutyrate (GABA) accumulation is a plant defense against phytophagous insects was investigated. Increasing GABA levels in a synthetic diet from 1.6 to 2.6 [mu]mol g-1 fresh weight reduced the growth rates, developmental rates, and survival rates of cultured
A horseradish peroxidase conjugated lectin from Glycine max (soy bean agglutinin; SBA) was used to characterise the distribution of N-acetylgalactosamine in the cochlear nucleus of the mongolian gerbil. SBA bound differentially to a variety of structures within the cochlear nucleus. Specific SBA
Numerous studies were carried out about aminoacidic composition of vegetable proteins, but information about the free amino acid pool and the role of these substances is very incomplete. The aim of this paper was to contribute to the scarce knowledge concerning the composition of free amino acids in
Cells from reproductive soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) plants were isolated using a mechanical-enzymic technique that produced a high yield of uniform, physiologically active cells. Cells were incubated in a pH 6.0 buffered solution and subjected to various treatments in order to determine the
The apoplast of developing soybean (Glycine max cv Hodgson) embryos and seed coats was analyzed for sucrose, amino acids, ureides, nitrate, and ammonia. The apoplast concentration of amino acids and nitrate peaked during the most rapid stage of seed filling and declined sharply as the seed attained
Calcium enhances salt stress tolerance of soybeans. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of calcium's involvement in resistance to salt stress is unclear. A comparative proteomic approach was used to investigate protein profiles in germinating soybeans under NaCl-CaCl2 and NaCl-LaCl3 treatments. A
Based on enzyme activity assays and metabolic responses to waterlogging of the legume Lotus japonicus, it was previously suggested that, during hypoxia, the tricarboxylic acid cycle switches to a noncyclic operation mode. Hypotheses were postulated to explain the alternative metabolic pathways
