Cadmium ions influence on the content of anthocyanins as non-plastid pigments and the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.24) as primary enzyme of their biosynthesis in two lettuce varieties (Lactuca sativa L.) with different anthocyanin content was investigated. The increases in anthocyanin content and enzymatic activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase of both lettuce plant variet...

Influence of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum IMV B-7404 strain exometabolites on phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.24) activity in winter wheat seedlings has been studied. A significant increase of PAL activity at 4-6 hours after treatment of plant roots with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum IMVB-7404 strain exometabolites and in case of leaves infection with Bip...

To assess nickel-induced toxicity in plants, Zea mays seeds were germinated and cultured on nutrient solution with nickel concentrations of 50-200 μM for a period of two weeks. Observed biological makers included biomass, soluble and total protein contents, and the activities of guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) in the l...

abstract in this study the effect of combination of trichoderma harzianum bi and salicylic acid were studied on root knot nematode (meloidogyne javanica) disease on tomato under green house conditions. the roots of tomato seedlings at six-leaf stage were inoculated with suspensions of fungal antagonist (106 conidia/ ml), 5mm salicylic acid and 2000 second-stage juvenile (j2). combined applicati...

Irradiation of previously dark-grown cell suspension cultures from parsley (Petroselinum hortense Hoffm.) with ultraviolet light caused large, concomitant increases in mRNA activities for two characteristic enzymes of phenylpropanoid metabolism, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, and flavanone synthase. The rates of enzyme synthesis both in vitro in a reticulocyte lysate and in vivo were quantitated ...

I?henyialanine ammonia-lyase from the yeast Rhodotorula gluiinis was purified by salt fractionations and Sephadex chromatography. Density gradient centrifugation and Sephadex chromatography indicated its molecular weight to be about 275,000. Enzymatic deamination of several ring-substituted phenylalanine analogues and n-phenylalanine was studied. While cinnamic acid, a product of deamination, a...

scape bending disorder is the most important factor affecting postharvest loss of gerbera cut flowers. one of the ultimate reasons for gerbera stem bending is lignin, with deformation structural functions and defensive mechanisms. this postharvest experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (pal) and peroxidase (pod) enzymes activity in stem bending of two gerbe...

In order to study on different methods of application of polyamines (putrescine, spermine, spermidine) on some morphological, physiological, enzymatic and vase life of Rosa hybrida cv. ‘Dolce Vita’, experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with 32 treatments, 3 replicates and each replication containing 5 vases, a total of 480 vases were executed. Fir...

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity increased rapidly beginning 2 h after inoculation with Phytophthora megasperma (Drechs.) f.sp. glycinea (Hildeb.) Kuan & Erwin race 1 in unwounded hypocotyls of soybean cv. Harosoy 63 (resistant) but did not change significantly in cv. Harosoy (susceptible). Small increases in phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity also were caused by wounding. Activity increa...
