Twenty-five Avena species were investigated for their flavonoids. The flavonoids identified were vitexin, isovitexin, vitexin 2″-rhamnoside, isovitexin 2″-arabinoside, isoswertisin 2″-rhamnoside, tricin 5-glucoside, tricin 7-glucoside and tricin 7-diglucoside. Chemosystematic relationships are discussed. 相似文献

The genomic clone named Bp10 contains a member of a small pollen-specific gene family of B. napus. The expression of the Bp10 gene family is maximal in early binucleate microspores and declines considerably in mature trinucleate pollen. Homologues of the Bp10 genes are expressed in the pollen of other plant species. The pollen-specific expression of the gene contained in the genomic clone was confirmed in tobacco plants transformed with a chimeric Bp10 promoter/GUS construct. A promoter fragment of 396 bp is sufficient to direct a strong and correct spatial and temporal expression in transgenic plants. The Bp10 gene family codes for proteins of 62 kDa showing approximately 30% sequence identify to cucumber and pumpkin ascorbate oxidases (AAOs). However, the AAO active centres are not conserved in the Bp10 products, suggesting an evolutionary relationship but a different enzymatic activity for these proteins. Expression of a recombinant Bp10 protein in E. coli inhibits bacterial growth on minimal medium, suggesting the production of an enzymatically active polypeptide in bacteria. No AAO activity could be correlated with the expression of the recombinant protein. Moreover, substances affecting AAO activity do not appear to influence the inhibitory activity of the protein produced in bacteria. However, as indicated by the rescue of bacterial growth in the presence of sodium bicarbonate or gaseous CO2, the Bp10 protein activity could be modulated by CO2 levels. 相似文献

A rapid method for obtaining large quantities of developing groats suitable for the isolation of highly intact polysomes has been developed. Developing spikelets were harvested directly from oat panicles into liquid nitrogen and then quickly passed through a dehuller. Chaff was removed by air aspiration and the resultant groats were collected directly back into liquid nitrogen. Approximately 250 g of groats could be isolated each man-hour by the above method. In comparison, only 10 g of endosperm could be collected by squeezing it out of spikelets using an endosperm mangle. Membrane-bound polysomes extracted from the immature groats were compared to those extracted from endosperm. The largest polysomes discernable as unique peaks on sucrose gradients were ten-mers and nine-mers for groats and endosperm, respectively. Polysomes isolated from both starting materials stimulated similar incorporations of [35S]methionine into trichloroacetic acid-insoluble products during in vitro translations in wheat germ extract. Both polysome preparations directed the synthesis of similar high-molecular-weight proteins. Based on these criteria, polysomes from both preparations were found to be of similar intactness, although the groat starting material was much more readily obtained. The polysome classes having the maximum absorbance peak for endosperm and groat polysomes were six-mers and eight-mers, respectively. 相似文献

In this paper we describe the isolation and characterization of a genomic clone (Bp4) from Brassica napus which contains three members of a pollen-specific multigene family. This family is composed of 10 to 15 closely related genes which are expressed in early stages of microspore development. The complete nucleotide sequence of the clone Bp4 and of three homologous cDNA clones is reported. One of the genes (Bp4B) contained in the genomic clone is believed to be non-functional because of sequence rearrangements in its 5 region and intron splicing sites. The remaining genes (Bp4A and Bp4C), as well as the cDNA clones, appear to code for small proteins of unique structure. Three different types of proteins can be predicted as a result of the deletion of carboxy or amino terminal portions of a conserved core protein. These proteins all share a common alternation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains. A fragment of the genomic clone containing the gene Bp4A, as well as the non-functional gene Bp4B, was introduced into tobacco plants via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The functional gene Bp4A is expressed in transgenic tobacco plants and shows spatial and temporal regulation consistent with the expression patterns seen in Brassica napus. 相似文献

An in vitro regeneration system was developed in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] Blackeye. Among several explants studied, shoot initiation response was observed from shoot apices of 3–5-day-old seedlings. The optimal medium for maximum shoot initiation comprised MS salts, B5 vitamins, 8.88 μM N
6-benzylaminopurine, 1 gl-1 casein hydrolysate, 342 μM L-glutamine, 3% sucrose, 0.3% phytagel, adjusted to pH 5.8. A shift in pH from 5.8 to 7.0 had no effect on shoot initiation and on number of shoots per explant. The highest shoot initiation frequency (77%) was obtained using this preferred medium, reaching a maximum of eight shoots per explant. For shoot elongation, 14 μM gibberellic acid was supplemented in the shoot initiation medium. Presence of indolebutyric acid in the rooting medium had no effect on root induction. The regenerated plants were fertile and developed normally. 相似文献

Nitrous oxide (N(2)O), the third most abundant greenhouse gas (GHG), is highly stable and plays a significant role in stratospheric ozone destruction. The primary anthropogenic source of N(2)O stems from use of nitrogen fertilizers in soil. The bacterial enzyme nitrous oxide reductase (N(2)OR), naturally found in some soils, is the only known enzyme capable of catalyzing the final step of the denitrification pathway, conversion of N(2)O to N(2). In this opinion, we discuss potential biology-based strategies to reduce N(2)O by amplifying the amount of available enzyme catalyst in agri-system environments during crop growth and in post-harvest detritus. N(2)OR from Pseudomonas stutzeri has been tested in transgenic plants with promising results. Such seed-borne phytoremediation systems targeted towards GHGs merit field testing. 相似文献

One transgenic rice line lacking CrylAb expression product was screened in the progenies of Agrobacterium-transformed transgenic rice variety Zhong 8215 with a cry1Ab gene under field releasing conditions by using GUS histochemical assay and Western blot. Molecular hybridization results revealed that the crylAb gene was silenced in the transgenic rice variety Zhong 8215 and two copies of ubiquitin promoter were integrated into the rice genome. The silencing of crylAb gene in transgenic rice was found to be due to the methylation of the ubiquitin promoter as revealed by methylation analysis. Meanwhile, different concentrations of demethylation reagent 5-azacytidine combining with different treatment time were employed to treat the silenced transgenic rice seeds. The results indicated that 5-azacytidine could reactivate 8%-30% of the silenced transgenic rice plants and the expression level of the reactivated cry1Ab transgene could reach as high as 0.147% of the total soluble protein.

Albumin and globulin fractions were extracted from dormant seeds of all 20 taxa of Lasthenia. After disc-electrophoresis on basic 7% acrylamide gels, mean Rp values, coefficients of variation and 95% confidence intervals were computed for both types of protein bands. Dendrograms were produced using similarity coefficients, indicating interspecific affinities among the taxa which differ from the sectional taxonomy of the genus. Protein data concerning certain problematical relationships are compared with published taxonomical and chemical data. 相似文献
