Structural analysis of starch from normal and shx
نویسندگان
چکیده
The shx shrunken endosperm mutation of barley is the only one described with its primary effect on Type I, primer-independent soluble starch synthase (SSS). The mutant produces grains with only 31% of the normal dry weight of starch, associated with a decrease in A-granule dimensions. We investigated the structure of shx and normal cv. Bomi barley amylose and amylopectin. Surprisingly, both amylose and amylopectin from the two genotypes were very similar in all aspects examined. These findings are discussed in the light of the potential roles for the various forms of SSS and branching enzyme.

The antitumor effects of Xiao-Chai-Hu-Tang (Shosaiko-To: SHX) with or without 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or cyclophosphamide (CY) were examined in an experimental system of lung metastasis induced by Lewis lung carcinoma in C57BL/6crSlc mice. Lewis lung carcinoma cells were implanted into the footpads of the mice. Ten days later, the implanted tumors were surgically removed. The effects of SHX were ...

متن کاملPostovariectomy hypertension is linked to increased renal AT1 receptor and salt sensitivity.
The functional balance between angiotensin II (Ang II) and nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in modulating salt sensitivity. Estrogen has been shown to downregulate angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor expression and to increase the bioavailability of endothelium-derived NO, which decreases AT1 receptor expression. The present study tests the hypothesis that in the presence of genetic salt sensit...
متن کاملThe molecular deposition of transgenically modified starch in the starch granule as imaged by functional microscopy.
The molecular deposition of starch extracted from normal plants and transgenically modified potato lines was investigated using a combination of light microscopy, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). ESEM permitted the detailed (10 nm) topographical analysis of starch granules in their hydrated state. CLSM could reveal internal molar d...
