betaine/アブラナ属

Transgenic Brassica compestris L. spp. chinensis plants expressing a choline oxidase (codA) gene from Arthrobacter globiformis were obtained through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. In the transgenic plants, codA gene expression and its product transportation to chloroplasts were

We describe an enzymic method for determining lecithin in amniotic fluid. Phospholipase D from savoy cabbage is used to liberate choline from lecithin, and the liberated choline is oxidized to betaine and hydrogen peroxide by choline oxidase from Arthrobacter globiformis. The hydrogen peroxide forms

A new enzymatic method was developed for the assay of phospholipase D [phosphatidylcholine phosphatidohydrolase EC 3.1.4.4] from cabbage leaves using choline oxidase from Arthrobacter globiformis cells. The method was based on the estimation of choline by the following series of enzymatic reactions

Trimethylamine (TMA) found in some leafy vegetables, such as spinach, cabbage, and lettuce, at alkaline pH was identified and quantified using headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME and GC-MS). HS-SPME conditions were optimized at an adsorption

Brassica juncea cv. Pusa Jaikisan was transformed with the codA gene for choline oxidase from Arthrobacter globiformis with an aim to introduce glycine betaine biosynthetic pathway, as it lacks any means to synthesize glycine betaine. Western blot analysis revealed the presence of choline oxidase in

Agriculture productivity is severely hampered by soil salinity, drought and other environmental stresses. Studies on stress-resistant plants (halophytes, xerophytes, accumulating plants for specific toxic ions) have illuminated some mechanisms of stress tolerance in plants at metabolic or molecular

Lead (Pb) toxicity is a major environmental concern affirming the need of proper mitigation strategies. In the present work, potential of combined treatment of 24-Epibrassinolide (24-EBL) and Salicylic acid (SA) against Pb toxicity to Brassica juncea L. seedlings were evaluated. Seedlings
