fluoride/ダイズ

BACKGROUND Fluorosis is a disease caused by over-exposure to fluoride (F). Argentina's rural lands have higher fluorine content than urban lands. Evidence confirms that plants grown in fluoridated areas could have higher F content. We compared F uptake and growth of crops grown in different F

Soybean (Glycine max (L) Merr.) plants were exposed to a single fumigation with hydrogen fluoride at concentrations sufficient to cause visible injury within 2 days. They were subjected to soil moisture or osmotic stress prior to, during, or after fumigation. Moisture stress before or during

The ATP-dependent proton-pumping activity of soybean (Glycine max L.) root microsomes is predominantly nitrate sensitive and presumably derived from the tonoplast. We used microsomes to characterize anion effects on proton pumping of the tonoplast vesicles using two distinctly different

The ATP-dependence of the membrane potential of soybean (Glycine max L. cv Williams '79) roots was determined by correlating the decrease in ATP levels with the decrease in the membrane potential caused by carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) or cyanide. The effects of the ATPase

The influence of hydrogen fluoride fumigation on water economy was studied using soybean (Glycine max [L] Merr.). Fumigation caused partial stomatal closure in 1 hour and practically complete closure within 4 hours. The transpiration rate was greatly reduced by fumigation, while the leaf temperature

The soybean urease (urea amidohydrolase; EC 3.5.1.5) was investigated to elucidate the presence of sulfhydryl (-SH) groups and their significance in urea catalysis with the help of various -SH group specific reagents. The native urease incubated with 5,5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB)

The four soybean seed acid phosphatase isoforms AP1, AP2, AP3A and AP3B were competitively inhibited by phosphate, vanadate, fluoride and molybdate, using p-nitrophenylphosphate as substrate. The four isoforms were not significantly affected by compounds that can interact with SH residues or by

To test the hypothesis that the carrier-mediated component of the indoleacetic acid (IAA) influx involves an electrogenic proton/IAA anion symport, the effects on the IAA influx of salts expected to depolarize the membrane potential were examined in suspension-cultured soybean (Glycine max [L.]

1. Leghaemoglobins from soya-bean (Glycine max) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) root nodules were purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose phosphate columns at pH8.0 and pH5.8, to avoid the relatively low pH (5.2) commonly used to purify these proteins. 2. E.p.r. (electron-paramagnetic-resonance)

Leghemoglobin (Lb) is essential for nitrogen fixation by intact leguminous nodules. To determine whether ferric Lb (Lb3+) was detectable in nodules under normal or stressed conditions, we monitored the status of Lb in intact nodules attached to sweet clover (Melilotus officinalis) and soybean

Allantoate amidohydrolases (AAHs) hydrolize the ureide allantoate to ureidoglycolate, CO(2), and two molecules of ammonium. Allantoate degradation is required to recycle purine-ring nitrogen in all plants. Tropical legumes additionally transport fixed nitrogen via allantoin and allantoate into the

Aluminum is toxic to both plants and animals. Root growth and pollen-tube extension are inhibited after aluminum stress in acidic environments. Incubation of cultured neurons with aluminum results in the formation of neurofibrillar tangles reminiscent of the neural pathology observed in Alzheimer's

Recently, we provided preliminary evidence for calcium (Ca2+)/calmodulin (CaM) stimulation of plant glutamate decarboxylase (GAD; EC 4.1.1.15). In the present study, a detailed characterization of the phenomenon is described. GAD was partially purified from various soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.)

The activity of an auxin-stimulated NADH oxidase of the plasma membrane of hypocotyls of etiolated soybean (Glycine max Merr.) seedlings responded to guanine and other nucleotides, but in a manner that differed from that of enzymes coupled to the classic trimeric and low molecular weight monomeric

Reduction of ferric leghemoglobin to ferrous leghemoglobin in soybean nodules (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv Woodworth) was studied using a spectrophotometer equipped with an in-cell space diffuse reflectance accessory. Nodule slices prepared and scanned under nitrogen gas showed a ferrous leghemoglobin
