Complete amino acid sequence of luffin-b, a ribosome-inactivating protein from sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica) seeds.
The complete amino acid sequence of luffin-b has been determined. All the twenty-seven tryptic peptides were isolated by reverse-phase HPLC from the tryptic digests of intact luffin-b and one of its CNBr fragments (CB4), and sequenced using the DABITC/PITC double coupling method. The overlap of these peptides was achieved by analyzing the CNBr fragments and their chymotryptic peptides. Luffin-b...
متن کاملPretreating Luffa Sponge (Luffa cylindrica L.) with Concentrated Phosphoric Acid and Subsequent Enzymatic Saccharification
Luffa was evaluated as a potential energy crop. A considerable amount of luffa sponge biomass can be grown in a vertical direction with approximately 70% polysaccharide content and low lignin content. When concentrated H3PO4 was employed to pretreat luffa sponge, hemicelluloses were the most sensitive component, followed by cellulose and lignin. Hemicellulose solubilization and cellulose loss p...
متن کاملGenetic Linkage Map Construction and QTL Analysis of Two Interspecific Reproductive Isolation Traits in Sponge Gourd
The hybrids between Luffa acutangula (L.) Roxb. and L.cylindrica (L.) Roem. have strong heterosis effects. However, some reproductive isolation traits hindered their normal hybridization and fructification, which was mainly caused by the flowering time and hybrid pollen sterility. In order to study the genetic basis of two interspecific reproductive isolation traits, we constructed a genetic li...
متن کاملHepatoprotective activity of Luffa cylindrica (L.) M. J. Roem. leaf extract in paracetamol intoxicated rats
Methanolic extract of Luffa cylindrica (L.) M. J. Roem. leaves (MELC) was evaluated for its hepatoprotective potential against paracetamol intoxicated wistar rats. Administration of MELC and standard drug silymarin showed significant (P <0.05) hepatoprotective protection in experimental animals. The study was conducted by estimating serum enzyme activities of serum glutamate oxaloacatate transa...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Analysis of Some Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Luffa (Luffa cylindrica) Genotypes using ITS Marker
Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Luffa is a plant from the Cucurbitaceae family with the scientific name of Luffa cylindrica. In addition to the food consumption of mature green fruit and the medicinal and health properties of seed oil, it is important due to the fibrous spongy texture of its dried fruits. There is a great variety in terms of shape, size, quality of sponge, etc. a...
