polygalacturonase/トウモロコシ

Polygalacturonase activity has been detected in a number of plants including seedlings of Phaseolus vulgaris, Zea mays, Avena sativa, and Pisum sativum. Particular emphasis was placed on characterizing the enzyme from oat seedlings. This enzyme is solubilized by 0.2 m NaCl, and its activity is

We have cloned and sequenced four pollen-specific cDNAs. None of the clones are complete at their 5' ends. One of the clones shows significant homology to the tomato fruit-ripening polygalacturonase and to a pollen-specific polygalacturonase from Oenothera. The other three clones have no significant

The nonpathogenic (FB-2) and pathogenic (FB-D12) strains of Ustilago maydis were grown in medium supplemented with different carbon sources including monosaccharides, polysaccharides, and plant tissues. Both strains were able to grow on all substrates, with doubling times varying from 2 to 25 h

Cytoplasmic and wall-bound peroxidases (ionic and covalent) are extractable from maize roots (Zea mays L. cv. Orla 264). It is easier to extract ionic peroxidases when using divalent ions (Ca(+ +) and Mg(+ +))than monovalent ions (Na(+) and K(+)). The quantity of peroxidases extracted increases with

Nitrate (N), phosphate (P) or sulphate (S) deprivation causes aerenchyma formation in maize (Zea mays L.) nodal roots. The exact mechanisms that trigger the formation of aerenchyma under these circumstances are unclear. We have compared aerenchyma distribution across the nodal roots of first whorl
