Abstract:
... Ubiquitin is a ubiquitous protein involved in targeting proteins for degradation. Maize pollen was previously reported (Callis and Bedinger 1994) to show extremely low levels of ubiquitin monomer, and developmental significance was attributed to this surprising feature of maize pollen. However, we had previously shown (Muschietti et al. 1994) that tomato pollen had high levels of ubiquitin monomer ...

Abstract:
... The importance of the two chiral centers at C-3 and C-7 in the molecular structure of jasmonic acid in plant responses was investigated. We separated methyl jasmonate (MeJA) into (3R)- and (3S)-isomers with a fixed stereochemistry at C-3, but epimerization at C-7 is possible. The four isomers of the nonepimerizable analog 7-methyl MeJA were synthesized. These six esters and their corresponding aci ...

Plants were grown in controlled-environment growth chambers under two temperature regimes (24/20 and 30/26°C), three levels of UVB radiation [0 (zero), 5 (ambient) and 10 (enhanced) kJ m⁻² d⁻¹] and two wateri ...

Abstract:
... The accession of Hungary to the European Union is likely to result in the intensification of arable crop cultivation. As a result of market forces and rural development measures, small parcels of land will be consolidated into larger fields. It is also likely that the area of maize and oilseed rape, and to a lesser extent that of sunflower, will increase at the expense of cereals. Abandoned land, ...
