Measurements of respiration were made on intact tissue and mitochondria isolated from soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv ;Corsoy') cotyledons from seedlings of different ages grown in light and darkness. Effects of cyanide (KCN) and salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) on O(2) uptake rates were determined.
Treatment of etiolated seedlings of barley (Hordeum vulgare) and soybean (Glycine max) with 1 millimolar 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) resulted in a 14-fold and greater than 100-fold increase in ethylene production, respectively. Simultaneous monitoring of endogenous cyanide and
A disengagement of the cyanide-resistant, alternative respiratory pathway in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) callus tissue was observed prior to the start of deoxyisoflavone production stimulated by addition of the cytokinin benzyladenine. To test whether this loss of alternativepathway activity
The action of ethylene on the capacity of plant tissues to metabolize cyanide to beta-cyanoalanine was examined. Beta-cyanoalanine synthase (EC 4.4.1.9) catalyzes the reaction between cyanide and cysteine to form beta-cyanoalanine and hydrogen sulfide. Levels of beta-cyanoalanine synthase activity
Discrimination against (18)O during dark respiration in tissues of Kalanchoë daigremontiana, Medicago sativa, and Glycine max was measured using an on-line system that enabled direct measurements of the oxygen fractionation of samples in a gas-phase leaf disk electrode unit. Discrimination factors
The ATP-dependence of the membrane potential of soybean (Glycine max L. cv Williams '79) roots was determined by correlating the decrease in ATP levels with the decrease in the membrane potential caused by carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) or cyanide. The effects of the ATPase
Electrogenic ATPase activity on the peribacteroid membrane from soybean (Glycine max L. cv Bragg) root nodules is demonstrated. Membrane energization was monitored using suspensions of intact peribacteroid membrane-enclosed bacteroids (peribacteroid units; PBUs) and the fluorescent probe for
Plants produce cyanide (CN-) during ethylene biosynthesis in the mitochondria and require β-cyanoalanine synthase (CAS) for CN- detoxification. Recent studies show that CAS is a member of the β-substituted alanine synthase (BSAS) family, which also includes the Cys biosynthesis enzyme O-acetylserine
OBJECTIVE
Ferro-cyanide is one of the commonly found species at cyanide-contaminated soils and groundwater. Unlike botanical metabolism of KCN via the β-cyanoalanine pathway, processes involved in the plant-mediated assimilation of ferro-cyanide are still unclear. The objective of this study was to
Evidence for a mixed population of covalently and noncovalently associated dimers of the cyanide-resistant alternative oxidase protein in plant mitochondria is presented. High molecular mass (oxidized) species of the alternative oxidase protein, having masses predicted for homodimers, appeared on
Alternative oxidase (AOX) is encoded in small multigene families in plants. Functional analysis of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) alternative oxidase 1c (AtAOX1c) promoter, an AOX gene not induced by oxidative stress, indicated that regulation of expression was complex, with the upstream
Cells of a soybean tissue strain, suspended in an aerated liquid medium, caused disappearance of p-coumaric acid from the medium and oxidation of guaiacol, benzidine, pyrogallol, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and L-epinephrine. Both the disappearance and the oxidations were inhibited by
This study was performed to isolate non-rhizobial endophytic bacteria from the root nodules of Glycine max (soybean), Vigna radiata (mung bean) and Vigna unguiculata (cowpea). The bacteria were characterized for plant growth promoting properties such as indole acetic acid production, phosphate and
1. Leghaemoglobins from soya-bean (Glycine max) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) root nodules were purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose phosphate columns at pH8.0 and pH5.8, to avoid the relatively low pH (5.2) commonly used to purify these proteins. 2. E.p.r. (electron-paramagnetic-resonance)
An enzyme has been isolated from flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) which utilizes the product of lipoxidase for its substrate. The enzyme, termed hydroperoxide isomerase, converts the conjugated diene hydroperoxide of linoleic acid to the corresponding monoenoic ketohydroxy fatty acid. The structure of
