چکیده
EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) plays key roles in the control of circadian rhythms, photoperiodic flowering, hypocotyls length and response to light in Arabidopsis. ELF3, however, encodes a protein without any motifs or domains of known function. Biochemical function of ELF3 has been largely unknown. Here we show the first demonstration of diversity of numbers of polyglutamines in the ELF3 among 60 Arabidopsis wild-type accessions. Significant correlation of the numbers of polyglutamines in ELF3 with two parameters of circadian rhythms, period and phase, suggest that the length of polyglutamine tract may affect the functions of ELF3 in the control of circadian rhythms.

The present study was aimed at the development of a somoclonal variant and isozyme marker for Phyllanthus amarus Schum & Thonn using inter-nodal segments and the enzyme peroxidase. Maximum callus proliferation was obtained on Murashige and Skoog’s medium supplemented (MS) with 1.0 mg/l of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Three weeks-old pale yellowish white semi-friable callus was used for organ...

The oligosaccharide structures of total glycoproteins in suspension-cultured Arabidopsis thaliana MM2d cells are determined. The N-linked sugar chains released by hydrazinolysis were labeled with 2-aminopyridine, and analyzed by a combination of HPLC, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and exoglucosidase digestion. The glycan structures determined were...
