Changes in membrane polypeptide composition during greening o f etiolated maize were in­ vestigated to confirm the existence o f the developmental polypeptides o f 12 15 kDa described recently in virescent soybean mutant [M. Droppa, M. L. Ghirardi, G. Horvath, and A. Melis, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 932, 138— 145 (1988)]. These low molecular weight polypeptides were the most abundant proteins at t...

The fastidious bacterium causing citrus greening disease occurs in uneven and low concentrations in the sieve tubes of host plants[ A rapid and sensitive assay based on the polymerase chain reaction "PCR# has been developed using the primers derived from the sequences of the cloned DNA fragment of greening fastidious bacterium "GFB# to detect GFB infection in citrus[ One set of the primer pairs...

The protoheme content of etiolated, greening, and fully greened bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. Light Red Kidney) leaves has been studied. The protoheme level in etiolated and fully greened leaf tissue stays relatively constant from age 7 to 14 days. In agreement with the studies reported for barley (Castelfranco and Jones 1975 Plant Physiol 55: 485-490), the protoheme content of greening bean...

The relationship between supply chain resilience and environmental sustainability (greening) has been a topic of peripheral discussion in the research literature. The aim in this paper is to investigate, from a supply chain modeling perspective, the extent to which supply chain greening and resilience strategies are supportive of each other. A strategic supply chain design model is introduced t...

Changes in plastid polypeptide composition during greening of etiolated peas were investigated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. One hundred of the more than 250 polypeptides which could be detected upon silver staining were followed during plastid development. Thirty-nine polypeptides decreased in abundance on a per organelle basis. Twentythree of the 46 polypeptides which increased in a...

This introductory article summarizes the discussions and results of the Fifth Annual Greening of Industry Conference, Global RestructuringÐA Place for Ecology?, held in Heidelberg, Germany, November 25±27, 1997. The Greening of Industry Network is concerned with the transition of industry towards sustainable production as an essential part of achieving a sustainable society. The Network confere...

In Ethiopia, deforestation rates remain high and the gap between demand and domestic supply of forest products is expanding, even though government-initiated re-greening efforts began over a century ago. Today, over 3 million hectares (ha) of degraded forest land are under area exclosure; smallholder plantations cover 0.8 million ha; and state-owned industrial plantations stagnate at under 0.25...

The glycolipid, phospholipid, pigment, and fatty acid content in whole y-1 cells during the greening process have been investigated. The time course of their changes indicates that phosphatidyl glycerol and glycolipids are the main lipids synthesized specifically during illumination of dark-grown cells, concomitant with an increase in the polyunsaturated C18 :2 and C18 :3 fatty acids . The pigm...
