Glucosinolate Biosynthesis: Sulfation of Desulfobenzylglucosinolate by Cell-Free Extracts of Cress (Lepidium sativum L.) Seedlings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
After removal of myrosinase activity by concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B chromatography, cell-free extracts of light-grown cress (Lepidium sativum L.) seedlings, catalyzed the sulfation of desulfobenzylglucosinolate (K(m), 0.23 millimolar) to benzylglucosinolate using PAPS (K(m), 1 millimolar) as sulfur donor. Sulfotransferase activity, which was optimal at pH 9.0, was stimulated by MgCl(2), MnCl(2), beta-mercaptoethanol, and dithiothreitol and was inhibited by ZnSO(4) and SH-reagents. The enzyme also sulfated desulfoallyglucosinolate to allylglucosinolate (sinigrin) but was inactive towards all phenylpropanoids and flavonoids tested.

Introduction: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant clonal disorder of hematopoietic stem cells resulting in the increase of myeloid cells, erythroid cells and platelets in the peripheral blood and hyperplasia in bone marrow. The research evaluated the cytotoxic effects of hydro-alcoholic extracts of Lepidium Sativum (Cress plant) shoots before and after flowering on K562 cell line as a...

A cDNA clone for NADPH : protochlorophyllide oxi doreductase from barley was subcloned for production of antisense-mRNA. This enabled heterologous hybridi zation with RNA from cress seedlings (Lepidium sativum L.). The mRNA level for N A DPH : protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase did not decrease in cress seedlings during irradiation with continuous far-red or white light up to 12 h. The amount...

Many plants exude allelochemicals--compounds that affect the growth of neighbouring plants. This study reports further studies of the reported effect of cress (Lepidium sativum) seed(ling) exudates on seedling growth in Amaranthus caudatus and Lactuca sativa. In the presence of live cress seedlings, both species grew longer hypocotyls and shorter roots than cress-free controls. The effects of c...

متن کاملAllelopathic Potentials of Medicinal Plant, Vinca rosea L.
Allelopathy offers potential for weed control through the production and release of allelochemicals from leaves, flowers, seeds, stems and roots. In this research, allelopathy potentials of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Vinca rosea L. leaves were evaluated. Three extract concentrations, including 2.5, 5 and 10% (w/v) of both aqueous and ethanolic were prepared from a 10% w/v stock solution...
