Proline, an amino acid, plays important role in plants, and it is involved stress resistance development. Earlier, to study the proline maintaining we obtained genetically modified transgenic lines of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) with reduced activity dehydrogenase (PDH, degradation gene) increased content proline. Transgenic plants demonstrated greater high concentrations NaCl, drought, low ...

Variations in leaf starch accumulation were observed among four species (wheat [Triticum aestivum L.], soybean [Glycine max L. Merr.], tobacco [Nicotiana tabacum L.], and red beet [Beta vulgaris L.]), nine peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) cultivars, and two specific peanut genotypes grown under different nutritional regimes. Among the genotypes tested, the activity of sucrose phosphate synthase was ...

one of the best strategies to control bacterial wilt caused by ralstonia solanacearum (smith) is generally based on breeding resistant cultivars. the information obtained from the expression of plant defense genes will provide new insight for improving plant resistance against pathogens. this study was to identify inducible genes under defense no death (dnd) reaction of tobacco (nicotiana tabac...

Guttation, the loss of water and dissolved materials from uninjured plant organs, is a common phenomenon in higher plants. By using endoplasmic reticulum signal peptides fused to the recombinant protein sequences, we have generated transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Wisconsin) plants that secrete three heterologous proteins of different genetic backgrounds (bacterial xylanase, green fl...

In tobacco seedlings (Nicotiana tabacum L.), glucose from supplied uridine diphosphate-[U-(14)C]glucose was first incorporated into steryl glycosides and later into acylated steryl glycosides. However, when [(14)C]cholesterol was used as substrate, the acylated steryl glycosides became labeled earlier than the steryl glycosides. With [(14)C]cholesteryl glucoside as substrate, most of the radioa...

In the present study, antioxidant properties of flavonoids and polysaccharides from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves were evaluated in several in vitro systems, e.g., scavenging activities on hydroxyl, superoxide anion, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radicals, and reducing power. Flavonoids showed much better activity ...

Boron (B) deficiency is a common phenomenon in most tobacco-planting areas Yunnan, China. In 2020 and 2022, hydroponic experiments that contained B concentration gradient of 0.000, 0.125, 0.250, 0.750, 5.000, 10.000, 20.000, 40.000 mmol L−1 were conducted to investigate tobacco cultivar K326′s agronomic traits, photosynthetic performance, antioxidant enzymes, boron nicotine concentration. As in...
