Antiserum was raised in rabbits against a lily (Lilium longiflorum) anther-specific protein (LLA-15). Monospecific anti-LLA-15 antibodies were prepared to investigate the distribution of LLA-15 during anther development in a variety of flowering plants. Immunoblot analyses of total protein from floral and vegetative organs confirmed that LLA-15 or LLA-15-like proteins accumulated to detectable ...

Abstract Petroleum deposits typically contain a gaseous component known as “associated gas”. If associated gas is not collected or used on-site, it may be flared vented byproduct of oil production. Flaring preferential to venting in terms global warming. oxidizes carbon and produces CO 2 , but by destroying methane other hydrocarbons, decreases the overall risk warming emissions. On 100-year ti...

In view of the recent isolation of stable oil bodies as well as a unique oleosin from lily pollen, this study examined whether other minor proteins were present in this lipid-storage organelle. Immunological cross-recognition using antibodies against three minor oil-body proteins from sesame suggested that a putative caleosin was specifically detected in the oil-body fraction of pollen extract....

This study evaluated the effect of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) on chemical composition (fibrous structure) and nutritive value Hedychium gardnerianum (ginger lily), a fibre source traditionally used in ruminant feeding Azores. Ginger lily samples were manually harvested dried forced-air oven at 65ºC until constant weight. Treatments applied by spraying ginger with NaOH solution concentration 0...

Early meiotic nodules (also called recombination nodules) are proteinaceous structures about 100 nm in diameter that are associated with forming synaptonemal complexes (SCs) during early prophase I of meiosis. Although their function is unknown, early nodules may be involved in searching for DNA homology before synaptic initiation. Two potential components of early nodules are Rad51 and Dmc1 pr...

Lily (Lilium formosanum or Lilium longiflorum) pollen tubes, microinjected with a low concentration of the pH-sensitive dye bis-carboxyethyl carboxyfluorescein dextran, show oscillating pH changes in their apical domain relative to growth. An increase in pH in the apex precedes the fastest growth velocities, whereas a decline follows growth, suggesting a possible relationship between alkalinity...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of in vitro and regeneration of lily (lilium longiflorum) bulb scale by different plant growth regulators in b5 medium in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement and 4 replications. treatments consisted of indole-3-acetic acid (iaa) and 2,4-d in b5 medium in four concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 2 mg/lit) and these were combined to...
