The free amino acid concentrations in cotyledons and axes of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv. Wells) seedlings were determined by automated single column analysis after germination at 10 and 23 C. After 5 days germination at 10 C, glutamate and aspartate were in high concentration in both
In plants, cystathionine γ-synthase (CGS) and threonine synthase (TS) compete for the branch-point metabolite O-phospho-L-homoserine. These enzymes are potential targets for metabolic engineering studies, aiming to alter the flux through the competing methionine and threonine biosynthetic pathways,
To gain understanding of the regulation of methionine level in plants, we assayed homoserine kinase and threonine synthase in extracts of wild type and several methionine-overproducing soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] callus lines. The specific activity of homoserine kinase was depressed by 45-73%,
Radioactive photosynthetic assimilates, translocated to a soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. ;Fiskeby V') pod can be measured directly by excising the stylar tip of the pod under 20 mm ethylenediaminetetraacetate solution (pH 7.0) and allowing the material to leak into the solution. Pods at the source
The soybean aphid (SA: Aphis glycines Matsumura) is a worldwide pest of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). The objectives of this study were to identify the type of aphid resistance and the resistance phenotype in soybean line 'P203', and to map the relative position of the gene involved. Compared
The aluminum (Al)-induced secretion of citrate has been regarded as an important mechanism for Al resistance in soybean (Glycine max). However, the mechanism of how Al induces citrate secretion remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the regulatory role of plasma membrane H+-ATPase on the
Two bacterial strains isolated from root nodules of soybean were characterized phylogenetically as members of a distinct group in the genus Ensifer based on 16S rRNA gene comparisons. They were also verified as a separated group by the concatenated sequence analyses of recA, atpD and glnII (with
The genome of pea (Pisum sativum) contains genes encoding a family of distinct lipoxygenases (LOX). Among these, LOXN2 showed eight exons encoding a 93.7-kD enzyme, harboring two C-terminal deletions and an unusual arginine/threonine-tyrosine motif in the domain considered to control the substrate
Gradient-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of human milk serum separated three high-Mr glycoprotein bands. The properties of the components corresponding to the three bands (tentatively termed 'Components C, B and A' in their order of migration) were compared by staining with four monoclonal
The phosphorylation-specific peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) Pin1 in humans and its homologues in yeast and animal species play an important role in cell cycle regulation. These PPIases consist of an NH(2)-terminal WW domain that binds to specific phosphoserine- or
Soybean (Glycine max) is an important crop around the world. Abiotic stress conditions, such as drought and heat, adversely affect its survival, growth, and production. The DEHYDRATION-RESPONSIVE ELEMENT-BINDING PROTEIN2 (DREB2) group includes transcription factors that contribute to drought and
Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. tracheiphilum (Fot) is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes vascular wilt disease in cowpea. Fot race 3 is one of the major pathogens affecting cowpea production in California. Identification of Fot race 3 resistance determinants will expedite delivery of improved
The structures of the carbohydrate chains present in fragments of a large-molecular-weight glycoprotein, epiglycanin, cleaved from the surface of viable TA3-Ha murine mammary carcinoma ascites cells and purified by gel filtration, were studied by immunochemical and chemical methods. Inhibitory
A novel calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) previously reported to be activated by the direct binding of Ca2+, and requiring neither calmodulin nor phospholipids for activity [Harmon, A.C., Putnam-Evans, C.L., & Cormier, M.J. (1987) Plant Physiol. 83, 830-837], was purified to greater than 95%
Several hundred soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cell lines resistant to ethionine were isolated either with or without chemical mutagenesis. of these, 26 were found to contain 2 to 22 times higher than normal levels of uncombined methionine. These 26 cell lines also contained higher than normal
