cinnamyl alcohol/담배속

Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) is an enzyme involved in lignin biosynthesis. In this paper, we report the purification of CAD to homogeneity from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) stems. The enzyme is low in abundance, comprising approximately 0.05% of total soluble cell protein. A simple and

A lucerne (alfalfa, Medicago sativa) stem cDNA library was screened with a cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) cDNA probe from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun). Two distinctly different cDNA clones (54% identical) were isolated and identified as putative CAD-encoding cDNAs by comparison of

In angiosperms, lignin is built from two main monomers, coniferyl and sinapyl alcohol, which are incorporated respectively as G and S units in the polymer. The last step of their synthesis has so far been considered to be performed by a family of dimeric cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenases (CAD2).

Xylem from stems of genetically manipulated tobacco plants which had had cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD; EC 1.1.1.195) activity down-regulated to a greater or lesser degree (clones 37 and 49, respectively) by the insertion of antisense CAD cDNA had similar, or slightly higher, lignin contents

Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD; EC 1.1.1.195) catalyses the last step in the synthesis of the monomeric precursors of lignin. Here, we demonstrate that the vascular expression pattern conferred by the Eucalyptus gunnii EgCAD2 promoter in transgenic poplar (Populus tremula x Populus alba) is

The organized lignocellulosic assemblies of cell walls provide the structural integrity required for the large statures of terrestrial plants. Silencing two CINNAMYL ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE (CAD) genes in Nicotiana attenuata produced plants (ir-CAD) with thin, red-pigmented stems, low CAD and sinapyl

Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD, EC 1.1.1.195) is an enzyme involved in lignin biosynthesis. We have previously isolated pure CAD enzyme as two closely related polypeptides of 44 and 42.5 kDa from tobacco stems. In this paper, we report partial amino acid sequences of these two polypeptides.

The manipulation of lignin could, in principle, facilitate efficient biofuel production from plant biomass. Despite intensive study of the lignin pathway, uncertainty exists about the enzyme catalyzing the last step in syringyl (S) monolignol biosynthesis, the reduction of sinapaldehyde to sinapyl

Lignin is an important component of secondarily thickened cell walls. Cinnamoyl CoA reductase (CCR) and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) are two key enzymes that catalyse the penultimate and last steps in the biosynthesis of the monolignols. Downregulation of CCR in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)

Brown midrib mutants in sorghum are associated with reduced lignin content and increased cell wall digestibility. In this study, we characterized a bmr-6 sorghum mutant, which shows reddish pigment in the midrib and stem after the fifth-leaf stage. Compared to wild type, Kalson lignin content of

The expression of Vitis vinifera polygalacturonase inhibiting protein 1 (VviPGIP1) in Nicotiana tabacum has been linked to modifications at the cell wall level. Previous investigations have shown an upregulation of the lignin biosynthesis pathway and reorganisation of arabinoxyloglucan

A cell suspension culture of a tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Petit Havana) cell line derived from a cultivar transformed with the Tcyt gene from Agrobacterium, which leads to high endogenous levels of cytokinin, has been established. This cell line shows increased cell aggregation, elongated

Lignin, a natural macromolecular compound, plays an important role in the texture and taste of fruit. Hard end is a physiological disorder of pear fruit, in which the level of lignification in fruit tissues is dramatically elevated. Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase and expansin genes (PpCAD2 and

The sequences of three cDNA clones that include the complete coding region of hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:tyramine N-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase (THT) from tobacco are reported. The three cDNAs were isolated by antibody screening of a cDNA expression library produced from poly(A)+RNA purified from tobacco

Chilling stress increases the amount of polyphenols, especially lignin, which protects tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. k326) from chilling stress. To clarify the molecular biosynthesis mechanism of the key representative compounds, specifically lignin, RNA sequencing and ultra-high pressure liquid
