Lipoxygenase and hydroperoxide lyase in germinating watermelon seedlings.
Lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.1.13) was found in seedlings of Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. and Nakai (watermelon). The enzyme has pH optima of 4.4 and 5.5 and is inhibited by 0.2 mM nordihydroguaiaretic acid. It is present in two functional units with estimated molecular weights of 120,000 and 240,000, respectively.A new enzyme, tentatively termed hydroperoxide lyase, has been partially purified ...
متن کاملResistance to cold and heat stress: accumulation of phenolic compounds in tomato and watermelon plants.
Tomato plants, Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Tmknvf(2), and watermelon plants, Citrullus lanatus [Thomb.] Mansf. cv. Dulce maravilla, were grown for 30 days at different temperatures (15, 25 and 35 degrees C). We analysed soluble phenolics, enzymatic activities (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase), and dry weight. The impact of the three temperatures was different i...
متن کاملEffects of Aqueous Extract of Citrullus lanatus on the Histology of the Kidney of Adult Wistar Rats
Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon) belongs to the family of cucurbitaceae. The Citrullus lanatus ancestor is the bitter-fruit form of C. vulgaris Schrader. The animals were housed in a cross-ventilated room and were fed with rat pellets and water. Weight of animals were recorded, they were randomly divided into 4 groups of 5 rats per group. The Citrullus lanatus aqueous extract was administered as ...
متن کاملWatermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. and Nakai) Juice Modulates Oxidative Damage Induced by Low Dose X-Ray in Mice
Watermelon is a natural product that contains high level of antioxidants and may prevent oxidative damage in tissues due to free radical generation following an exposure to ionizing radiation. The present study aimed to investigate the radioprotective effects of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. and Nakai) juice against oxidative damage induced by low dose X-ray exposure in mice. T...
متن کاملA High Resolution Genetic Map Anchoring Scaffolds of the Sequenced Watermelon Genome
As part of our ongoing efforts to sequence and map the watermelon (Citrullus spp.) genome, we have constructed a high density genetic linkage map. The map positioned 234 watermelon genome sequence scaffolds (an average size of 1.41 Mb) that cover about 330 Mb and account for 93.5% of the 353 Mb of the assembled genomic sequences of the elite Chinese watermelon line 97103 (Citrullus lanatus var....
