Abstract:
... A procedure is described for a simple and highly sensitive quantitative assay of various sucrose and glucose ester mixtures extracted from plant tissue surfaces and of certain synthetic sugar esters of commercial importance. The method involves staining sugar esters with Rhodamine B followed by spectrophotometric detection of the "complexed" stain. The only instrumentation required consists of a c ...

Trichome exudate compounds isolated from leaves of Nicotiana tabacum, N. glutinosa (accessions 24 and 24a), and 21 other Nicotiana species were evaluated for biorational activity against C. lagenarium, the anthracnose pathogen of cucumber. Exudate compounds tested were the cembrane diterpenes alpha and beta-4,8,13-duvatriene-1,3-diols (DVT diols); the labdane diterpenes (13-E)-labda-13-ene-8alpha, ...

Abstract:
... Polygalacturonate 4-alpha-galacturonosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.43) activity has been identified in microsomal membranes isolated from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Samsun) cell-suspension cultures. Incubation of UDP-[14C]galacturonic acid with tobacco membranes results in a time-dependent incorporation of [14C]galacturonic acid into a chloroform-methanol-precipitable and 65% ethanol-insoluble pr ...

Abstract:
... Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants carrying a fusion between the nopaline synthase (nos) promoter and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene (cat) were tested for their response to treatment with H2O2. The nos promoter-driven CAT activity increased significantly by addition of H2O2, reaching the maximum level at 15 mM. Kinetic analysis for CAT activity showed that indu ...

Abstract:
... Apoplastic peroxidase isoenzymes from stems of Nicotiana tabacum rapidly oxidized sinapic acid and sinapyl alcohol, in addition to 4-coumaric acid, ferulic acid and coniferyl alcohol. By contrast, the peroxidase isoenzymes from stems of Vigna angularis oxidized sinapic acid and sinapyl alcohol quite slowly but rapidly oxidized compounds with a 4-hydroxyphenyl or a guaiacyl group. However, the oxid ...

Abstract:
... Plants respond differentially to wounding and pathogens using distinct signaling pathways, so that wound signals are transmitted to jasmonic acid (JA) which induces basic pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, whereas pathogenic signals cause, in addition to JA, accumulation of salicylic acid (SA) which stimulates production of acidic PR proteins. Transgenic tobacco plants expressing a gene for a sma ...

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 ...

Abstract:
... Reactive oxygen species are believed to perform multiple roles during plant defense and possibly as cellular signaling molecules. In animals, nitric oxide (NO) is an important redox-active signaling molecule. Here we show that infection of resistant, but not susceptible, tobacco with tobacco mosaic virus resulted in enhanced NO synthase (NOS) activity. Furthermore, administration of NO donors or r ...

Abstract:

The biosynthesis of lignin monomers involves two methylation steps catalyzed by orthodiphenol-O-methyltransferases: caffeic acid/5-hydroxyferulic acid 3/5-O-methyltransferases (COMTs) and caffeoyl-coenzyme A (CoA)/5-hydroxyferuloyl-CoA 3/5-O-methyltransferases (CCoAOMTs). Two COMT classes (I and II) were already known to occur in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and three distinct CCoAOMT classes have ...

The cDNA was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the protein produced was shown to encode the enzyme benzoyl-coenzyme A (CoA):benzyl alcohol benzoyl transferase (BEBT). BEBT catalyzes the formation of benzylben ...

Abstract:
... The anaphase promoting complex or cyclosome is the ubiquitin-ligase that targets destruction box-containing proteins for proteolysis during the cell cycle. Anaphase promoting complex or cyclosome and its activator (the fizzy and fizzy-related) proteins work together with ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (UBCs) (E2s). One class of E2s (called E2-C) seems specifically involved in cyclin B1 degradation. ...

Abstract:

Arabidopsis thaliana ACBP2 shows conservation at the acyl-CoA-binding domain to cytosolic ACBPs but is distinct by the presence of an N-terminal transmembrane domain and C-terminal ankyrin repeats. The function of the acyl-CoA-binding domain in ACBP2 has ...

Abstract:
... Arabidopsis thaliana GAMT1 and GAMT2 encode enzymes that catalyze formation of the methyl esters of gibberellins (GAs). Ectopic expression of GAMT1 or GAMT2 in Arabidopsis, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), and petunia (Petunia hybrida) resulted in plants with GA deficiency and typical GA deficiency phenotypes, such as dwarfism and reduced fertility. GAMT1 and GAMT2 are both expressed mainly in whole s ...

To corroborate the induced accumulation of relatively large amounts of a cytoplasmic/nu ...

In this paper, we explored the content and composition of phytosterols in representative cured tobacco leaves by gas chromatography of TMS-ether derivatives. We found that phytosterol contents in tobacco leaves ...

In marked contrast, the same probes moved apically into tricho ...

A huge amount of kernel cake, which contains a variety of toxins including phorbol esters (tumor promoters), is projected to be generated yearly in the near future by the Jatropha biodiesel industry. We showed that the kernel cake strongly inhibited plant seed germination and root growth and was highly toxic to carp fingerlings, even though phorbol esters were undetectable by HPLC. Therefore it mu ...
