Biosynthesis of the Macrocyclic Diterpene Casbene in Castor Bean (Ricinus communis L.) Seedlings : Changes in Enzyme Levels Induced by Fungal Infection and Intracellular Localization of the Pathway.
Casbene is a macrocyclic diterpene hydrocarbon that is produced in young castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) seedlings after they are exposed to Rhizopus stolonifer or other fungi. The activities of enzymes that participate in casbene biosynthesis were measured in cell-free extracts of 67-hour castor bean seedlings (a) that had been exposed to R. stolonifer spores 18 hours prior to the preparatio...
متن کاملThe Role of Pectic Fragments of the Plant Cell Wall in Elicitation by a Fungal
Endopolygalacturonase isolated from culture ifitrates of the fungus Rhizopus stolonifer was shown previously to act as an elicitor ofbiosynthetic capacity for the antifungal agent, casbene, in castor bean (Ricinus commais L.) seedlings (S.-C. Lee, C.A. West 1961 Plant Physiology 67:633-639). Selective amidation of exposed carboxyl groups of the pure fungal endopolygalacturonase using intermedia...
متن کاملLectins in castor bean seedlings.
The amounts of the two lectins (ricin and Ricinus communis agglutinin) in tissues of castor bean seedlings were followed during germination and early growth. For measurement, lectins in extracts were separately eluted from Sepharose columns; an antibody to the agglutinin was also used to detect the lectins by immunodiffusion. The endosperm of the dry seed contains 3.5 mg total lectin (5.6% of t...
متن کاملIsolation of a kaurene synthetase inhibitor from castor bean seedlings and cell suspension cultures.
Biosynthesis of ent-kaurene was investigated in extracts of cell suspension cultures and seedlings of castor bean. Both cell-free extracts contain an inhibitor of kaurene synthetase. The inhibition affects mainly the cyclization of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate to copalyl pyrophosphate (activity A) and has little or no effect on the further cyclization of copalyl pyrophosphate to ent-kaurene (ac...
متن کاملPhosphatidylcholine synthesis in castor bean endosperm.
Three pathways for phosphatidylcholine synthesis were assayed in castor bean (Ricinus communis var. Hale) endosperm. Phosphatidylethanolamine: S-adenosylmethionine methyl transferase occurred predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum fraction, but some activity appeared in the mitochondria. Phosphorylcholine glyceride transferase occurred exclusively in the endoplasmic reticulum. The phosphory...
