in this study, effect of exogenous putrescine on maintaining postharvest quality and antioxidant compounds of two broccoli cultivars, ‘general’ and ‘liberty’ during cool storage were investigated. broccoli branchlets were treated with 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mm putrescine. distilled water was used as control. treated florets were put into polyethylene bag and transferred to storage with 0°c and 90% rh. ...

Kim, Ki-Han (Wayne State University, Detroit, Mich.). Properties and distribution of intracellular putrescine in a Pseudomonas. J. Bacteriol. 91:193-197. 1966.-A Pseudomonas species which contains putrescine as the only intracellular polyamine was used to study the distribution of putrescine in the cells and the changes in putrescine content upon nitrogen or carbon and nitrogen starvation. In t...

Putrescine uptake and the kinetics of this uptake were studied in petals of Saintpaulia ionantha Wendl. Uptake experiments of [(3)H] or [(14)C] putrescine were done on single petals at room temperature at various pH values. The results show that putrescine uptake occurs against a concentration gradient at low external putrescine concentration (0.5-100 micromolar) and follows a concentration gra...

Putrescine (diaminobutane) was previously found to stimulate proliferation of human fibroblasts in tissue culture, and a growth factor produced by these cells was identified as putrescine. In the present paper putrescine transport is studied. The rate of putrescine transport was dependent on temperature, and most of the labeled putrescine was retained by the cells after washing with excess unla...

in order to study the effect of pre and postharvest polyamines spraying on increasing vase life of alstroemeria (alstroemeriaaurantica cv.sukari), an experimental was conducted on completely randomized factorial design with two types polyamines (putrescine, spermine) in four levels (zero, five, 10, 15 and 20 mg/l). results showed that, 20 mg/l of putrescine and spermine treatments increased vas...

The rate of uptake of putrescine by Anacystis nidulans has been shown to depend on the external pH and the extracellular concentration of putrescine. Accumulation of exogenous putrescine was also proportional to the concentration of putrescine in the medium, suggesting that putrescine uptake was not subject to cellular regulation. An equation was derived to test the hypothesis that putrescine a...

In this study investigated the effect of putrescine sprayed (0.5 & 1mM) on Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) and the changed of Anthocyanin, Phenolic compounds, POX & CAT Antioxidative enzymes were examined. The results show that Putrescine treatments increased hydrogen peroxide in seedlings to compare control. Phenolic compound content under putrescine treatments are different. Phenolic com...

The activity and processing of mammalian S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) is stimulated by putrescine. To obtain new insights into the mechanism through which putrescine stimulates AdoMetDC, we investigated conformational changes in rat prostate AdoMetDC in the presence or absence of putrescine. We examined the reactivity of purified rat prostate AdoMetDC to the SH-reagent iodoacet...

Putrescine (1,4-diaminobutane) activates the autoprocessing and decarboxylation reactions of human S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC), a critical enzyme in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway. In human AdoMetDC, putrescine binds in a buried pocket containing acidic residues Asp174, Glu178, and Glu256. The pocket is away from the active site but near the dimer interface; however, a ser...

Putrescine as the sole carbon source requires a novel catabolic pathway with glutamylated intermediates. Nitrogen limitation does not induce genes of this glutamylated putrescine (GP) pathway but instead induces genes for a putrescine catabolic pathway that starts with a transaminase-dependent deamination. We determined pathway utilization with putrescine as the sole nitrogen source by examinin...
