dihydroxyacetone/ジャガイモ

The mitochondrial sn-glycerol-3-phosphate and 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferases from potato tubers and pea leaves were investigated with respect to their intraorganelle localization, their positional and substrate specificities, and their fatty acid selectivities. In mitochondria

A full length cDNA clone encoding plastidic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (cp-FBPase), together with a transit peptide, was isolated from a potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) leaf cDNA library. Potato plants were transformed with the isolated cp-FBPase sequence behind a patatin class I promoter to ensure

Transgenic potato plants (Solanum tuberosum cv. Desirée) with an antisense repression of the chloroplastic triosephosphate translocator were compared with wild-type plants. Plants were grown in chambers with either an atmosphere with ambient (400 mu bar) or elevated (1000 mu bar) CO2. After 7 weeks,

Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI, EC 5.3.1.1) catalyzes the interconversion of dihydroxyacetone-P and glyceraldehyde 3-P in the glycolytic pathway. A constitutively expressed antisense construct for cytosolic TPI was introduced into potato (Solanum tuberosum) using Agrobacterium rhizogenes to examine

Mitochondria contain thioredoxin (Trx), a regulatory disulfide protein, and an associated flavoenzyme, NADP/Trx reductase, which provide a link to NADPH in the organelle. Unlike animal and yeast counterparts, the function of Trx in plant mitochondria is largely unknown. Accordingly, we have applied
