An elicitor-regulated transient expression system was established in soybean protoplasts that allowed the identification of cis-regulatory elements involved in plant defense. The 5' region of an ultraviolet (UV) light-inducible and elicitor-inducible chs gene (chs1) of soybean was subjected to deletion analysis with the help of chimeric chs-nptII/gus gene constructs. This analysis delimited the...

The highest average value for the ascorbic acid content of freshly harvested vegetables in Olliver's (1954) list is 1 9 mg./g. fresh wt. for parsley (Carum petroselinum); in the Handbook of Biological Data (1956) the highest value is 1-36 for turnip greens (Brassica rapa). Morgan (1942) found 2-8 mg./g. in fresh parsley leaves. We have found the average value for several batches of lucerne (Med...

Contact-shifted resonances have been detected in the pmr spectra of both oxidized and reduced forms of spinach and parsley ferredoxins. These resonances are assigned to the beta-CH(2) protons of four cysteine residues that are thought to bind the iron-sulfur redox center to the polypeptide chain. Temperature dependences of contact shifts reveal that the two iron atoms are antiferromagnetically ...

in order to evaluate the genetic diversity some native populations of parsley iran, 21 parsley populations which collected from different regions of iran and cultured as an augmented design in shahid chamran university of ahvaz. in 2011-12. some of morphological characteristics including (time of emergence, plant height, fresh and dry weight, seed weight, chlorophyll content) and anti oxidant p...
