Nucleotide Sequence of a Cationic Peroxidase Gene from the Tropical Forage Legume Stylosanthes humilis

Nucleotide sequence of a cationic peroxidase gene from the tropical forage legume Stylosanthes humilis.

Peroxidases (EC 1.1 1.1.7; donor: hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase) have been implicated in numerous physiological processes of potential importance in plant-pathogen interactions, including lignification (Walter, 1992), crosslinking of cell-wall components (Bradley et al., 1992), wound healing (Sherf et al., 1993), auxin oxidation (Grambow and Langenbeck-Schwich, 1979), and systemic acquired r...

Cloning and sequence of a cDNA encoding phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from the tropical forage legume Stylosanthes humilis.

PAL (EC 4.3.1.5) catalyzes the deamination of Phe to trans-cinnamic acid in the first step of the phenylpropanoid pathway, a key process for the synthesis of phenolic compounds in plants. In legumes, phenolic compounds have many important roles including flavonoid signal molecules required for nodulation, antibiotic phytoalexins for defense against pathogens, and precursors for the structural a...

Secondary Metabolites and Pest Resistance in a Tropical Forage Legume

Nucleotide sequence of the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) anionic peroxidase gene.

Peroxidases have been implicated in numerous physiological processes including lignification (Grisebach, 1981), wound-healing (Espelie et al., 1986), phenol oxidation (Lagrimini, 1991), pathogen defense (Ye et ai., 1990), and the regulation of cell elongation through the formation of interchain covalent bonds between various cell wall polymers (Fry, 1986; Goldberg et al., 1986; Bradley et al., ...

cloning and nucleotide sequence of a lipase gene from a soil isolate

the present study was aimed to isolate and characterize the lipolytic enzyme producing bacteria from soil samples of regions around zayande-rood river of isfahan, iran. soil samples were collected from 15 cm depth of soil surface. based on morphology, distinct colonies were isolated and purified through streak culture on to standard agar plates. isolated colonies were examined for lipase activi...
