A Microcosm Study on P-Nitrophenol Biodegradation in Soil Slurry by Alcaligenes faecalis: Plackett-Burman Design

Fungitoxic Isoflavones from Lupinus albus and other Lupinus Species

Leguminosae, Papilionoideae, Lupinus, Lupins, Isoflavonoids, Isoflavones, Phenolic Compounds, Antifungal Activity The constitutive isoflavones genistein, 2'-hydroxygenistein, wighteone and luteone have been isolated in varying amounts from methanolic leaf washings of eight species belonging to the legume genus Lupinus. These four compounds likewise occur in the flower buds, stems, roots and imm...

New Isoflavone Glucosides from White Lupin (Lupinus albus

Further investigation of polar constituents in white lupin roots revealed the presence of genistein 7-O-ß-glucoside (la), genistein 4'-0-ß-glucoside (lb), 2'-hydroxygenistein 7-0ß-glucoside (2a) and 2'-hydroxygenistein 4'-0-ß-glucoside (2b) as simple isoflavone gluco­ sides; luteone 7-O-ß-glucoside (3 a), licoisoflavone A 7-O-ß-glucoside (4 a) and licoisoflavone A 4'-0-ß-glucoside (4b) as preny...

Phosphorus Stress-Induced Proteoid Roots Show Altered Metabolism in Lupinus albus.

Proteoid roots develop in Lupinus albus L. in response to nutrient stress, especially P. Proteoid roots excrete citrate and thus increase the availability of P, Fe, and Mn in the rhizosphere. In an effort to understand citrate synthesis and organic acid metabolism in proteoid roots of lupin, we have evaluated in vitro enzyme activities of citrate synthase (CS), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), and p...

Phosphorus deficiency in Lupinus albus. Altered lateral root development and enhanced expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase.

The development of clustered tertiary lateral roots (proteoid roots) and the expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC, EC 4.1.1.31) in roots were studied in white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) grown with either 1 mM P (+P-treated) or without P (-P-treated). The +P-treated plants initiated fewer clustered tertiary meristems and the emergence of these meristems was delayed compared with - P...
