Ergosterol, a typical fungal sterol, induced in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi) suspension cells the synthesis of reactive oxygen species and alkalization of the external medium that are dependent on the mobilization of calcium from internal stores. We used specific inhibitors to elucidate
In the course of the purification of enone reductase participating to the reduction of pulegone, two reductases (NtRed-1 and NtRed-2) were isolated from cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum. The partial amino acid sequences of the reductases revealed that NtRed-1 was allyl-alcohol dehydrogenase
A procedure is described for the detection of lettuce necrotic yellows virus (LNYV) nucleocapsid protein (N) or envelope glycoprotein (G) by immuno-blotting with their respective monoclonal antibodies. The antigens can be detected in 1-10 mg of fresh tissue from systemically infected Nicotiana
Glycosylation mediated by UDP-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT) is one of the most common reactions for the biosynthesis of small molecule glycosides. As glycosides have various biological roles, we characterized UGT genes from grapevine (Vitis vinifera). In silico analysis of VvUGT genes that
Rapid activation of phospholipase A (PLA) by auxin or plant-pathogen interaction suggests a function in signal transduction for this enzyme, but the molecular identification of a cytosolic PLA carrying out this function remains open. We isolated four cDNA sequences from Arabidopsis (ecotype
Only very little is known about the resin composition of natural rubber from the dandelion species Taraxacum koksaghyz, thus its full characterization could provide new insights into how the isoprenoid end-products influence the physical properties of natural rubber, and this resin might be a good
