Effect of trace metals on the restoration potential of leaves of the medicinal plant,Portulaca oleracea linn

The effect of Cd, Cu, Zn, Hg, and Pb solutions at various concentrations, on the restoration potential of the leaves ofPortulaca oleracea was tested. All the trace metals completely affected the shoot regeneration. The degree of their effect on root regeneration, however, varied. Early initiation of parental leaf decay was also observed. The order of their relative effect on the regeneration process was: Cd > Cu > Zn > Hg > Pb.

Relationship between leaf development and primary photosynthetic products in the C4 plant Portulaca oleracea L.

Summary The photosynthetic products of Portulaca oleracea differ greatly depending on leaf age and length of exposure to ¹⁴CO₂. Mature leaves of P. oleracea fix ¹⁴CO₂ primarily into organic and amino acids during a 10-s exposure period. Less than 2% of the ¹⁴CO₂ fixed appears in phosphorylated compounds. In contrast, incorporation into amino acids can account for over 60% of the total ¹⁴CO₂ fixed by young leaves in an equal time period, and incorporation into alanine alone can account for up to one half of this amount. Senescent leaves display a quantitative shift of primary products toward phosphorylated compounds with a concomitant reduction of the label residing in malate and asparate. About 8 times more phosphoglyceric acid is produced in senescent leaves than in mature leaves. The aspartate/ malate ratio is not constant and depends on the length of time the leaves are exposed to ¹⁴CO₂ and the age of the leaves under study. It appears as if the stage of leaf development is one of the most important factors determining the operation of a particular enzyme system in C₄ plants.

马齿苋叶片PEP羧化酶的分子特性

马齿苋叶片PEPCase由四个相同的亚基组成,亚基分子量为83kD。远紫外CD光谱分析表明,此酶含有36.6％α—螺旋结构。马齿苋叶片PEPCase可被G6P激活,但不能被Gly、Ser激活。G6P可防止酶的尿素变性和枯草杆菌蛋白酶的作用。这种保护效应与G6P诱导的酶构象变化有关。 从酶对低温、高温及尿素的反应来看,马齿苋叶片PEPCase的稳定性高于高粱叶片PEP—Case,两者的免疫特性和电泳特性亦不同。
