Abstract:
... The gene NCED1 encodes 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase, which catalyzes oxidative cleavage of 9-cis-epoxycarotenoids neoxanthin and violaxanthin to xanthoxin, a key step in the biosynthesis of abscisic acid (ABA) in higher plants. In the present study, the complete NCED1 of 1 917 bp was cloned and characterized from rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. N22) as no earlier reports were available for its char ...

Abstract:
... Opaque2 is a basic leucine-zipper transcription factor that regulates the expression of several genes involved in the development of maize endosperm. Among the different mutations so far characterized, the o2Italian (o2It) allele has a genomic deletion of 10 bp that interrupts the open reading frame by a premature stop codon. Curiously, the o2It allele still encodes a long o2 isoform (o2It-L) that ...

We compared C₃ and CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism) states in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, a facultative CAM species, with respect to the involvement of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and nitrogen metabolismrelated enzymes in plant response to Botrytis cinerea infection. The enzyme activities were monitored both in pathogeninoculated 2ⁿᵈ leaf pair and non-inoculated 3ʳᵈ leaf pair. The ...
