The amino acid sequences of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) and castor (Ricinus communis L.) cytochrome c were determined by using 1.5mumol of protein from each species. Both molecules consist of a single chain of 111 amino acid residues and are homologous with other mitochondrial cytochrome c molecules. Both have an N-acetylated ;tail' of eight amino acids and two in-N-trimethyl-lysine residues, a...

In hypocotyl segments of mung bean (Phaseolus mungo L.) seedlings, exogenously supplied indoleacetic acid was rapidly conjugated mainly into indoleacetylaspartic acid, which was inactive in inducing ethylene production. Kinetin is known to stimulate indoleacetic acid-induced ethylene production. The mechanism of kinetin action on indoleacetic acid-induced ethylene production by hypocotyl segmen...

Citric acid cycle activity in mitochondria from mung bean (Phaseolus aureus var. Jumbo) hypocotyls were examined by surveying (a) characteristics of oxidation of cycle intermediates; (b) activities of cycle enzymes in mitochondrial extracts; (c) contents of cycle intermediates and electron transport components in isolated mitochondria; and (d) time-course changes of products formed during oxida...

Plasmodium falciparum merozoites have a variable surface protein of about 195,000 molecular weight which may be involved in strain-specific immunity. We have cloned and sequenced a major portion of the gene encoding this antigen from the CAMP strain and have located sites of preferred mung bean nuclease cleavage around the gene. These sites depend on reaction conditions, but at 40% formamide an...

of Vienna, Vienna, Austria; Floridsdorfer Allergiezentrum, Vienna, Austria. Background: Mung beans (Vigna radiata) contain 2 Bet v 1 related proteins: Vig r 1, a member of the PR-10 subfamily, and cytokinin-specific binding protein (CSBP), a protein with low sequence identity (31%) to Bet v 1. We aimed to compare Vig r 1 and CSBP to Bet v 1 regarding biochemical and immunological properties. Me...

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is one of the most important pulse crops due to high content protein as well ability nitrogen fixation in soil. Seed yield complex trait which highly influenced by other traits and also environment. In this view, study was aimed evaluate relationship between attributing sixty genotypes bean. The exhibited significant variability respect all fourteen quantita...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cover crops on pest/beneficial dynamics and to test the potential of living mulch on enhancing biological control against insect pests. The research, carried out in the frame of the InterVeg (Core Organic II) project, involved four European countries: Germany, Slovenia, Denmark and Italy. Three crops were tested: cauliflower, leek and artichok...

Halo-tolerant, auxin producing bacteria could be used to induce salt tolerance in plants. A number of Rhizobium and auxin producing rhizobacterial strains were assessed for their ability to tolerate salt stress by conducting osmoadaptation assay. The selected strains were further screened for their ability to induce osmotic stress tolerance in mung bean seedlings under salt-stressed axenic cond...
