cultivation of annual medics is a way to increase producing of forage with a better quality, to increase the quantity of producing forage in low yield drylands, and to assisst establishing pasture. this study was conducted in order to investigate the adaptation and determination of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of three species of annual medics. the experimnet was conducted in a ...

The search for new sources of plant protein food and animal feed is driven by an increasing demand in developing countries the interest healthy alternatives to protein. Seeds from 23 different wild legumes belonging tribes Gallegeae, Trifolieae, Loteae were collected southern Spain their total amino acid composition was analyzed, reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), o...

Codon fitnesses for chloroplast genes were estimated using the relative synonymous codon use of psbA, which has a different pattern of codon use than other chloroplast genes and is the major translation product of the chloroplast. These estimates were used to calculate the codon adaptation index (CAI) of chloroplast genes from Marchantia polymorpha, Nicotiana tabacum, and Chlamydomonas reinhard...

While Marchantia polymorpha has been utilized as a model system to investigate fundamental biological questions for over almost two centuries, there is renewed interest in M. polymorpha as a model genetic organism in the genomics era. Here we outline community guidelines for M. polymorpha gene and transgene nomenclature, and we anticipate that these guidelines will promote consistency and reduc...

Presently almost no information is available on the oligosaccharide structure of the glycoproteins secreted from the methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha, a promising host for the production of recombinant proteins. In this study, we analyze the size distribution and structure of N-linked oligosaccharides attached to the recombinant glycoprotein glucose oxidase (GOD) and the cell wall mann...

In yeast and filamentous fungi, sulfide can be condensed either with O-acetylhomoserine to generate homocysteine, the precursor of methionine, or with O-acetylserine to directly generate cysteine. The resulting homocysteine and cysteine can be interconverted through transsulfuration pathway. Here, we systematically analyzed the sulfur metabolic pathway of the thermotolerant methylotrophic yeast...
