On the basis of previous studies on the mechanism-based inhibition, activation, and active site structure of myrosinase(s) isolated from Sinapis alba and other cruciferous seeds, crambe myrosinase shows uncommon properties and behavior. For this reason homogeneous crambe myrosinase was isolated and investigated to establish the most important physicochemical features, including kinetic properti...

Bra j IE, a major allergen from oriental-mustard (Brassica juncea) seeds, has been isolated and characterized. Its primary structure has been elucidated. This protein is composed of two chains (37 and 92 amino acids) linked by disulphide bridges. The amino acid sequence obtained is closely related to that previously determined for Sin a I, an allergen isolated from yellow mustard (Sinapis alba)...

The interdependence of species richness and plant biomass has widely been accepted as a general biodiversity rule. However, there is no information about how relationships are established during colonization and how total biomass is distributed among plants. The main objective of this study was to determine the role of several factors which we have hypothetized as affecting biomass distribution...

In order to investigate light and temperature effects on germination of different ecotypes of wild mustard  (Sinapis arvensis L.), seeds were collected from four regions: Fars, West Azarbayjan, Khouzestan and Mazandaran Provinces. Seed size and weight, difference of dormancy state among the ecotypes, seed germination in differential light and temperature conditions were studied. The results sho...

The duration of a supply relationship depends on two types of costs: (i) the transaction cost of switching suppliers and (ii) the cost of being matched to an inefficient supplier when the relationship lasts too long. I develop a model of optimal contract duration that captures this tradeoff, and I provide conditions that identify the underlying cost structure. Latent transaction costs are ident...

Ammonium sulfate chromatography has been employed to separate glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenases (GPD) of Sinapis alba cotyledons of various developmental stages. Cotyledons of dark-grown seedlings possess one major NAD-specific enzyme designated NAD-GPD I. Irradiation with continuous far red light leads to a strong increase in NADP-GPD activity and to the formation of a second NAD activ...
