The genetic control and biochemical modification of catechol oxidase in maize.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three isozyme variants of catechol oxidase have been shown to be determined by alleles of a gene, Cx, which has been located on chromosome 10 less than 0.1 recombination units from the endosperm marker du(1).-The extractable form of the enzyme is modified by an endogeneous "modifier" which appears to function as an enzyme substrate. Enzyme and modifier are functionally isolated in intact cells. Modified enzyme has altered kinetics, does not migrate in electrophoresis and most probably results from a "tanning" of the enzyme by reaction products. The content of modifier varies in different lines and is genetically determined by gene(s) independent of Cx. Treatment with maleic hydrazide causes a ten-fold reduction in the modifier content of seedlings, allowing the enzyme to be extracted in an unmodified form which will migrate in electrophoresis.-This system of enzyme and modifier fits the requirements of hypersensitive disease resistance in plants and may provide a test system to investigate the biochemical basis of disease resistance.

Effect of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate on Partial Purified Polyphenol Oxidase Activity in Red and Green Tomatoes (Solanum Lycopersicum)
In order to better understand how to prevent enzymatic greenning, it is important to understand kinetic properties of polyphenol oxidase. we investigated the effect of SDS on the rate of catechol oxidation by small cherry tomato partial purified PPO. PPO activity increased with increasing SDS concentration. The most effective concentration of SDS was 0.8, 1 and 1.25 mM in according to pH and ...

متن کاملGenetic analysis of Biochemical and Physiological Traits using Haymen’s Graphical Approach in Lines and F2 Progenies of Maize (Zea mays L.)
The diallel mating design is an important tool used by plant breeding programs to obtain information on trait inheritance. Knowledge of gene action, heritability and genetic advance from selection is a prerequisite for starting a breeding program for developing varieties of maize. Five maize S7 lines and their F2 progenies were studied in a 5 × 5 half-diallel crossing design to evaluate the gen...
متن کاملExcess boron reduces polyphenol oxidase activities in embryo and endosperm of maize seed during germination.
The effects of increasing concentrations of boron (0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 20 mM) as boric acid on the rate of germination and polyphenol oxidase activities in embryo and endosperm tissues of maize seeds (Zea mays L. cv. Arifiye) were studied. The germination percentage of maize seeds was not affected by boron concentrations up to 10 mM, and decreased by 20 mM. Distilled water and lower boron concent...
