Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris) is one of the major pests in alfalfa crops, causing significant yield losses. (E)‐β‐farnesene (EβF), an alarm pheromone released by pea aphid, is generic to many species of aphids, and is used to minimize potential danger from predators and parasitoids by avoiding the source of the pheromone. RESULTS: In this study, EβF synthase gene was construct ...

Effects of abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on ethylene production, ACC oxidase (ACO) activity, and content of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) during indirect somatic embryogenesis (SE) of Medicago sativa L. were studied. ABA and MeJA, at 50 μM, were applied during the induction, proliferation, or differentiation phase. ABA decreased ethylene production at the beginning ...

Abstract:
... Biphenyl dioxygenase from Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes strain KF707 expressed in Escherichia coli was found to exhibit monooxygenase activity toward four stereoisomers of isoflavan-4-ol. LC–MS and LC–NMR analyses of the metabolites revealed that the corresponding epoxides formed between C2′ and C3′ on the B-ring of each isoflavan-4-ol substrate were the sole products. The relative reactivity of t ...

... The trimethylselenonium ion (TMSe⁺) is an important urinary Se metabolite. As an aid to evaluating its role in the natural cycling of Se, these plant studies concerning its uptake from soils or from nutrient solution and its metabolism were undertaken. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) were grown on Dalton and Lima loam soils (coarse — silty, mixed, mesic Aeric Fragiaqu ...
