Spinacia oleracea, Arum maculatum, Alanine: Aldehyde Aminotransferase, Amine-Biosynthesis, Subcellular Localization, Mitochondria L-Alanine: aldehyde aminotransferase occurs ubiquitously in higher plants. The enzyme catalyzes the reaction: L-alanine + monoaldehyde -> monoamine + pyruvate; it is responsible for the formation of aliphatic plant amines and involved in the biosynthesis of hemlock a...

HAAS and HILL [1925, 1] have recently directed attention to a chromogen of considerable interest which escapes from the plasmolysed cells of Mercurialis perennis. If the coarsely divided tissue be steeped, anaerobically, in chloroform water for a short time, there results an extract which, on exposure to oxygen, assumes first a rich blue and then a yellow-brown colour. These investigators [1925...

Two primary approaches to perennial biofuel crop production studied so far are fertilized grass monocultures and low-input high-diversity grasslands. While high-yielding perennial grass varieties are being developed in fertilized monocultures, breeding for yield in low-input high-diversity systems would be difficult. Before initiating breeding for low-input systems, it is therefore important to...

Floristic investigations on the eastern part of Adriatic coast in Montenegro and Bosnia Herzegovina led to discovery three glasswort taxa new for area: Arthrocaulon macrostachyum (Moric.) Piirainen et G. Kadereit Salicornia procumbens Sm. subsp. S. perennis Mill. All were recorded abandoned basins Tivat Saline Montenegro, while was also found Klek Peninsula Hercegovina.

A new species of Pararotylenchus Baldwin &Bell, 1981 from the Pacific coastal area of California is described. Numerous females and juveniles were recovered, but no males were found. Pararotylenchus belli n.sp. is most similar to P. sphaerocephalus, but females of P. belli are shorter and have a shorter stylet and a hemispherical tail. Specimens from a cereal field in South Dakota were identifi...
