Subject:
EDTA (chelating agent); antibodies; binding proteins; coprecipitation; molecular weight; octoxynol; oxygen evolving complex; photophosphorylation; polypeptides; protons; thylakoids
Abstract:
... Evidence is presented to support the notion that the 16 kDa thylakoid polypeptide, called CF₀II, is an essential subunit of the photosynthetic ATP-synthase complex CF₀CF₁: It is co-isolated with the other subunits of CF₀CF₁ in preparations either using octylgluco- side/cholate or Triton X-100. It is co-precipitated by antibodies together with the other CF₀CF₁ subunits. It is immunochemically not r ...

Almond dried-fruit consumption is a characteristic of the Mediterranean diet and the related transformation industry could represent a great economic chance for Sicily, the main producing Italian region. Nevertheless, the Italian almond market is suffering a long crisis caused by the international competition with low-cost producing countries. For this purpose, the Sicilian Region funded a multidi ...

On a second exposure following upon the first 24 h treatment after a rest period of 6 h, epinephrine, too, developed a stimulatory action, and the other three molecules gave rise to a still greater increase in the growth rate. Obviously, imprinting effected by the firs ...

Abstract:
... Yellow coloration of pollen in some exceptional cases can be caused by the presence of intensely coloured flavonoids. Derivatives of herbacetin (sexangularetin) and of gossypetin (limocitrin) have been found as “yellow flavonols” in the pollen of some species of Paeonia and of Rumex. The pollen of Spinacea oleracea contains the 6-methyl ether of galetin and the quercetagetin derivatives patuletin ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Over the last two years, considerable advances have been made in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genomics, especially with the completion of the genome sequence and the availability of RNAseq data. However, as common bean is recalcitrant to stable genetic transformation, much work remains to be done for the development of functional genomics tools adapted to large-scale studies. RE ...
