Expression of D-myo-inositol-3-phosphate synthase in soybean. Implications for phytic acid biosynthesis.
Phytic acid, a phosphorylated derivative of myo-inositol, functions as the major storage form of phosphorus in plant seeds. Myo-inositol phosphates, including phytic acid, play diverse roles in plants as signal transduction molecules, osmoprotectants, and cell wall constituents. D-myo-inositol-3-phosphate synthase (MIPS EC 5.5.1.4) catalyzes the first step in de novo synthesis of myo-inositol. ...
متن کاملPhytic acid prevents oxidative stress in seeds: evidence from a maize (Zea mays L.) low phytic acid mutant.
A maize mutant defective in the synthesis of phytic acid during seed maturation was used as a tool to study the consequences of the lack of this important reserve substance on seed survival. Data on germinability, free iron level, free radical relative abundance, protein carbonylation level, damage to DNA, degree of lipid peroxidation, alpha- and gamma-tocopherol amount and antioxidant capacity...
متن کاملOverexpression of a Gene Involved in Phytic Acid Biosynthesis Substantially Increases Phytic Acid and Total Phosphorus in Rice Seeds.
The manipulation of seed phosphorus is important for seedling growth and environmental P sustainability in agriculture. The mechanism of regulating P content in seed, however, is poorly understood. To study regulation of total P, we focused on phytic acid (inositol hexakisphosphate; InsP₆) biosynthesis-related genes, as InsP₆ is a major storage form of P in seeds. The rice (Oryza sativa L.) low...
متن کاملInositol Metabolism in Plants. VI. Conversion of Myo-Inositol to Phytic Acid in Wolffiella floridana.
When Wolffiella floridana, an aquatic angiosperm in the family, Lemnaceae, was grown in axenic culture under continuous light in E medium containing 1.0% sucrose and a micromolar amount of (14)C-labeled myo-inositol (MI), MI was taken up by the growing plants and converted to phytic acid. After 13 weeks in labeled medium during which time there was a 1000-fold increase in fresh weight, 30% of t...
متن کاملOrigin and seed phenotype of maize low phytic acid 1-1 and low phytic acid 2-1.
Phytic acid (myo-inositol-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexakisphosphate or Ins P(6)) typically represents approximately 75% to 80% of maize (Zea mays) seed total P. Here we describe the origin, inheritance, and seed phenotype of two non-lethal maize low phytic acid mutants, lpa1-1 and lpa2-1. The loci map to two sites on chromosome 1S. Seed phytic acid P is reduced in these mutants by 50% to 66% but seed t...
