Reduction of cholesterol and glycoalkaloid levels in transgenic potato plants by overexpression of a type 1 sterol methyltransferase cDNA.
Transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum cv Désirée) plants overexpressing a soybean (Glycine max) type 1 sterol methyltransferase (GmSMT1) cDNA were generated and used to study sterol biosynthesis in relation to the production of toxic glycoalkaloids. Transgenic plants displayed an increased total sterol level in both leaves and tubers, mainly due to increased levels of the 24-ethyl sterols isofuc...
متن کاملFACKEL is a sterol C-14 reductase required for organized cell division and expansion in Arabidopsis embryogenesis.
In flowering plants, the developing embryo consists of growing populations of cells whose fates are determined in a position-dependent manner to form the adult organism. Mutations in the FACKEL (FK) gene affect body organization of the Arabidopsis seedling. We report that FK is required for cell division and expansion and is involved in proper organization of the embryo. We isolated FK by posit...
متن کاملApplication of sterol synthesis inhibitors to investigate the sterol requirements of protozoa and plants.
T h e major sterols found in higher plants. algae. fungi and many protoma are typically substituted at C-24 in the sidechain by a methyl or ethyl group. Depending upon the organism, the C-24 alkyl sterol can have either the 2311or 24s-configuration and the extra carbons are derived by transmethylation reactions involving S-adenosylmethionine and appropriate A'4and A''''x -sterol substrates 11 -...
متن کاملAnalysis of sterol metabolism in the pathogenic oomycetes Saprolegnia parasitica and Phytophthora infestans
The primary objective of this thesis was to investigate the sterol metabolism of two pathogenic oomycetes, specifically the processes of sterol synthesis and sterol acquisition in the fish pathogen Saprolegnia parasitica (Saprolegniales) and the plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans (Peronosporales). Furthermore, the effects of steroidal glycoalkaloids from Solanaceous plants, on P. infestans, ...

Sterol Alkylation in Higher Plants and Micro-organisms T. W. GOODWIN Department of Biochemistry, University of Liverpool, P.O. Box 147, Liverpool L69 3BX, U.K. The main sterol of animals is cholesterol, but in higher plants, algae and fungi it is replaced by a diverse array of sterols with supernumerary carbon atoms in the side chain at C-24 (see Goad et al., 1974). Fig. 1 indicates the types o...
