Diurnal change of cucumber CPD photolyase gene (CsPHR) expression and its physiological role in growth under UV-B irradiation.
Complementary DNA encoding a putative cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD)-specific DNA photolyase (CPD photolyase) was isolated from cucumber leaves. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA exhibited high similarity to that of the Arabidopsis CPD photolyase. Transformation with the cDNA restored the impaired photorepair activity of an Escherichia coli mutant, indicating that this cDNA encode...
متن کاملEffects of light fluence and wavelength on expression of the gene encoding cucumber hydroxypyruvate reductase.
We have investigated the regulation of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) hydroxypyruvate reductase mRNA abundance in response to white-, red-, and far-red-light treatments. Following irradiation of dark-adapted cucumber seedlings with 15 min to 4 h of either white or red light and return to darkness, the mRNA level for the gene encoding hydroxypyruvate reductase (Hpr) in cotyledons peaks in the darkne...

Background and Aim: Candida albicans, the most common human fungal commensal pathogen, is a normal member of the human microbiota which can colonize the oral cavity, vagina and gastrointestinal tract. This opportunistic pathogen can cause diseases ranging from mucosal infections to systemic mycoses, depending on the vulnerability and weakness of the immune system of the host. In addition, i...
متن کاملPhotoreactivation of Escherichia coli after low- or medium-pressure UV disinfection determined by an endonuclease sensitive site assay.
Photoreactivation of Escherichia coli after inactivation by a low-pressure (LP) UV lamp (254 nm), by a medium-pressure (MP) UV lamp (220 to 580 nm), or by a filtered medium-pressure (MPF) UV lamp (300 to 580 nm) was investigated. An endonuclease sensitive site (ESS) assay was used to determine the number of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers in the genomic DNA of E. coli, while a conventional cultiva...
متن کاملChloroplast Biogenesis 34: SPECTROFLUOROMETRIC CHARACTERIZATION IN SITU OF THE PROTOCHLOROPHYLL SPECIES IN ETIOLATED TISSUES OF HIGHER PLANTS.
The fluorescence emission and excitation properties of protochlorophyll in etiolated cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cotyledons and primary bean (var. Red Kidney) leaves were characterized at 77 K. Contrary to previous studies, it appears that the short-wavelength protochlorophyll emission band consists of four fluorescent components, instead of only one nonphototransformable protochlorophyll. It...
