acid invertase/イネ属

There are three soluble acid invertases in the leaves of rice. They could be separated by DEAE1-Sephacel chromatography, and named IT1, IT2 and IT3. The molecular weights of IT1, IT2 and IT3, determined by HPLC gel filtration chromatography, were 220 kD, 59 kD and 67 kD, respectively. Their pI

Four invertase isozymes have been isolated from the milky stage rice grains. According to the pH optima, they are classified as one alkaline (IT7) and three acid invertases. The acid invertases are further divided into two soluble forms (IT4 and IT5) and one cell wall-bound (ITb) form which was

The effect of arsenate with or without phosphate on the growth and sugar metabolism in rice seedlings cv. MTU 1010 was studied. Arsenate was found to be more toxic for root growth than shoot growth and water content of the seedlings gradually decreased with increasing concentrations. Arsenate

In rice, caryopses located at the base of the panicle have a lower growth rate than those at the tip of the panicle. The former and latter types of caryopses are called inferior and superior caryopses, respectively. Taking the different growth rate into consideration, sugar status and the expression

This study tested the hypothesis that a post-anthesis moderate soil drying can improve grain filling through regulating the key enzymes in the sucrose-to-starch pathway in the grains of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Two rice cultivars were field grown and two irrigation regimes, alternate wetting and

Invertases catalyze the irreversible hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose. Plants contain two unrelated families of these enzymes: acid forms that derive from periplasmic invertases of eubacteria and are found in cell wall and vacuole, and neutral/alkaline forms evolved from the cytosolic
