Antioxidant responses in harvested leaves of two cultivars of spinach differing in senescence rates
Download2001-01-01
Hodges, D. Mark, Forney, Charles F., Wismer, Wendy V.
The objective of this study was to assess responses of certain antioxidants in harvested leaves of selected cultivars of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) differing in postharvest senescence rates in order to explore the significance of these antioxidants in postharvest senescence regulation and...

Comprehensive transcriptional profiling of NaCl-stressed Arabidopsis roots reveals novel classes of responsive genes
Download2006
Background: Roots are an attractive system for genomic and post-genomic studies of NaCl responses, due to their primary importance to agriculture, and because of their relative structural and biochemical simplicity. Excellent genomic resources have been established for the study of Arabidopsis...

Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) is a rare developmental disease that affects structures in the anterior segment of the eye. Approximately 50% of ARS patients develop glaucoma, a progressively blinding condition. Although glaucoma is an aging-related disease, ARS patients usually have earlier-onset...

Differential expression of miRNAs in Brassica napus root following infection with Plasmodiophora brassicae
Download2014
Basu, Urmila, Verma, Shiv, Rahman, Muhammad H., Deyholos, Michael K., Kav, Nat N. V.
Canola (oilseed rape, Brassica napus L.) is susceptible to infection by the biotrophic protist Plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot. To understand the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) during the post-transcriptional regulation of disease initiation and progression, we have...

McNickle, G. G., Deyholos, M. K., Cahill Jr, J. F.
Background Ecologists recognize that plants capture nitrogen in many chemical forms that include amino acids. Access to multiple nitrogen types in plant communities has been argued to enhance plant performance, access to nitrogen and alter ecological interactions in ways that may promote...

Effect of drying on oxidation of membrane lipids and expression of genes encoded by the Shiga toxin prophage in Escherichia coli
Download2020-01-01
Fang, Yuan, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
Drying processes do not eliminate pathogenic Escherichia coli in foods but induce sublethal injury, which may also induce the Shiga toxin (Stx) prophage. This study investigated the effect of drying on membrane lipid oxidation and stx expression in E. coli. Lipid peroxidation was probed with...

Engineering Enhanced Performance in Plant Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase and Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase
DownloadSpring 2018
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the major storage lipid in higher plants and has great nutritional and industrial value. Plant storage lipid biosynthesis involves different subcellular compartments and a complex network of enzymes and proteins. Among them, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound diacylglycerol...

Fatty acid composition of developing sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) berry and the transcriptome of the mature seed
Download2012
Snyder, Crystal L., Schroeder, William R., Wishart, David, Cram, Dustin, Fatima, Tahira, Datla, Raju, Weselake, Randall J., Krisha, Priti
Background Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is a hardy, fruit-producing plant known historically for its medicinal and nutraceutical properties. The most recognized product of sea buckthorn is its fruit oil, composed of seed oil that is rich in essential fatty acids, linoleic (18∶2ω-6) and...

Functional Characterization of Plant Patatin-like Phospholipase A III in Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana Producing 18 Carbon Hydroxy Fatty Acids
DownloadFall 2016
Hydroxy fatty acid (HFA)-enriched oils are valuable in many oleo-chemical industries. The major natural source of HFA, however, is castor (Ricinus communis) seed, which is poisonous to human beings and animals. Although over-expressing a castor OLEATE 12-HYDROXYLASE (RcFAH12) in Arabiodpsis...
