A mutation of the psbA gene was identified in photoautotrophic potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv Superior x U.S. Department of Agriculture line 66-142) cells selected for resistance to 6-chloro-N-ethyl-N'-(1-methylethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (atrazine). Photoaffinity labeling with

Although the control of carbon fixation and nitrogen assimilation has been studied in detail, little is known about the regulation of carbon and nitrogen flow into amino acids. In this paper the isolation of a cDNA encoding threonine synthase is reported (TS; EC 4.2.99.2) from a leaf lambda ZAP

Methionine (Met) and threonine (Thr) are members of the aspartate family of amino acids. In plants, their biosynthetic pathways diverge at the level of O-phosphohomo-serine (Ser). The enzymes cystathionine gamma-synthase and Thr synthase (TS) compete for the common substrate O-phosphohomo-Ser with

summary Identification of potato genes responsive to cell wall-degrading enzymes of Erwinia carotovora resulted in the isolation of cDNA clones for four related receptor-like protein kinases. One of the putative serine-threonine protein kinases might have arisen through alternative splicing. These

Brassinosteroids (BRs), a new class of steroid hormones, are involved in the regulation of plant cell elongation and seed germination. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of the effect of BRs on tuber sprouting remains largely unknown. In this study, quantitative phosphoproteomics was employed to

The cost protein (CP) genes of two potato virus Y necrotic isolates (N27 and a mutant strain N27-92), which differed in their reactivity to a monoclonal antibody (mab), were characterized. Both isolates could be detected by mab 4E7, but mab VN295.5 selectively reacted to N27 and not to N27-92. The

Simian virus 40 large T antigen (large T) was dephosphorylated with potato acid phosphatase at pH 5.5. Phosphate residues bound to serine were more susceptible to potato acid phosphatase than threonine-bound phosphate residues. Dephosphorylation of the threonine residues with potato acid phosphatase

In order to identify components of the Colorado potato beetle (CPB) egg that may be required by Edovum puttleri, a parasitic wasp that parasitizes the CPB egg, to complete development, ecdysteroid and free amino acid content of CPB eggs were analyzed by reversed phase high pressure liquid

Recent advances in the characterisation of insect sodium channel gene sequences have identified a small number of point mutations within the channel protein that are implicated in conferring target-site resistance to pyrethroid insecticides (so-called knockdown resistance or kdr). The L1014F

The study was conducted to estimate the actual genetic potential for daily protein deposition of growing barrows [genotype: Piétrain x (Duroc x Landrace)]. Twenty-four pigs with an average initial body weight (BW) of 43.7 +/- 0.7 kg were used in a N-balance study. Semi-purified diets with graded

Hydrolysis of L- and D-O-phosphothreonines catalyzed by four different phosphatases, alkaline phosphatases from calf intestine and E. coli and acid phosphatases from wheat germ and potato, has been kinetically studied. Alkaline phosphatases were found to have comparable reactivities towards the

All known isolates of potato virus X (PVX), with the exception of a South American isolate PVXHB, induce an extreme resistance response on potato carrying the Rx gene and elicit the production of necrotic lesions on Gomphrena globosa: PVXHB establishes systemic infection on Rx genotypes of potato

Six small molecular mass, wound-inducible trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor proteins from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaves were isolated to homogeneity. The isoinhibitors, cumulatively called tobacco trypsin inhibitor (TTI), have molecular masses of approximately 5500 to 5800 D, calculated from

The availability of the carbon backbone O-phosphohomoserine (OPHS) is critical to methionine (met) and threonine (thr) synthesis. OPHS derives from homoserine and is formed by homoserine kinase (HSK). To clarify the function of HSK in cellular metabolism, the E. coli HSK ortholog thrB was expressed

In the course of studying the composition of the microbial community in the phyllosphere of potato plants, a Gram-positive bacterium, strain K 70/01(T), was isolated. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, it was shown that the investigated isolate represents a novel species in the genus
