In the present study, the effect of aqueous fruit extracts of Azadirachta indica on activity of Peroxidase (POX) at different ages of Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) leading to induction of systemic resistance against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato was evaluated. For this evaluation, four ages, that is, 6, 8, 10 and 12?weeks of plants were selected. A single leaf at the third node from base of each plant was treated either singly or with different combinations of Neem extract and pathogen. Samples were collected at an interval of 24?h for up to five days and after two weeks of the treatment from both treated and untreated nodes. The change in the activity of defence enzyme POX and expression of its isoforms was studied. The results demonstrate that systemic acquired resistance induced by the Neem fruit extract increases as the plant matures but it is not only the limiting factor. 相似文献

Weedy rice is a representative of the extensive group of feral weeds that derive from crops, but has returned to the lifestyle of a wild species. These weeds develop either from a hybridization of crops with wild relatives (exoferality), or by mutation of crops to weedy forms (endoferality). Due to the close relation of weed and crop, the methods for weed‐targeted containment are limited to date. A deeper understanding of the development of such weeds might help to design more efficient and sustainable approaches for weed management. Weedy rice poses a serious threat to rice yields worldwide. It is widely accepted that weedy rice has originated independently in different regions all over the world. However, details of its evolution have remained elusive. In the current study, we investigated the history of weedy rice in northern Italy, the most important rice‐growing area in Europe. Our approach was to analyze genes related to weedy traits (SD1, sh4, Rc) in weedy rice accessions compared to cultivars, and to integrate these results with phenotypic and physiological data, as well as historical information about rice farming in Italy. We arrive at a working model for the timeline of evolution of weedy rice in Italy indicating that both exoferality and endoferality acted as forces driving the development of the diverse weedy rice populations found in the region today. Models of weed evolution can help to predict the direction which weed development might take and to develop new, sustainable methods to control feral weeds. 相似文献

To determine if calcium-dependent secretagogues directly act on epithelial cells to elicit CI− secretion, their effects on CI− transport and intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) were determined in primary cultures of rabbit distal colonic crypt cells. The Cl− sensitive fluorescent probe, 6-methoxyquinolyl acetoethyl ester, MQAE and the Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent probe, fura-2AM were used to assess Cl− transport and [Ca2+]i, respectively. Basal Cl− transport (0.274 ± 0.09 mM/sec) was inhibited significantly by the Cl− channel blocker diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (DPC, 50 μM, 0.068 ± 0.02 mM/sec; P < 0.001) and the Na+/K+/2Cl− cotransport inhibitor furosemide (1 μM, 0.137 ± 0.04 mM/sec; P < 0.01). Ion substitution studies using different halides revealed the basal influx to be I− > F− ≥ Cl− > Br−. DPC inhibited I− influx by ∼50%, F− influx by 80%, Cl− influx by 85%, and Br− influx by 90%. Furosemide significantly inhibited influx of Br− (84%) and Cl− (81%) but not of F− and I−. The effects of agents known to alter biological response by increasing [Ca2+]i in other epithelial systems were used to stimulate Cl− transport. Cl− influx in mM/second was stimulated by 1 μM histamine (0.58 ± 0.05), 10 μM neurotensin (2.07 ± 0.32), 1 μM serotonin (1.63 ± 0.28), and 0.1 μM of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 (2.05 ± 0.40). The Cl− permeability stimulated by neurotensin, serotonin, and A23187 was partially blocked by DPC or furosemide added alone or in combination. Histamine-induced Cl− influx was significantly inhibited by only furosemide. Indomethacin blocked histamine-stimulated Cl− permeability but had no effect on the actions of the other agents. These studies, focusing on isolated colonocytes without the contribution of submucosal elements, reveal that (1) histamine stimulates Cl− transport by activating the Na+/K+/2Cl− cotransporter via a cyclooxygenase-dependent pathway; (2) neurotensin, serotonin, and A23187 activate both Cl− channels and the cotransporter, and their actions are cyclooxygenase-independent. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

One of the important factors responsible for recalcitrance of maize tissue towards Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is the presence of 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DIMBOA), an inhibitory metabolite found in maize cells. DIMBOA-resistant strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens were used to transfer genes coding for GUS (-glucuronidase) and NPTII (neomycine phosphotransferase II) in maize shoot apical meristems derived from 20 day-old seedlings and immature embryos. GUS expression was higher (21–34%) in the apical meristem and was dependent on the type of infecting strain and explant-age. The PCR analysis of selected tissues confirmed the presence of GUS gene in the transformed cells. 相似文献

The energetics and models of COX-2 complexed with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) having different degrees of selectivity for two isoforms of COX (COX-2 and COX-1) have been studied using computer modelling approach. The models are obtained for complexes of NS398 (NS), a selective COX-2 inhibitor; indoprofen (Ind), a non-selective inhibitor; di-tert-butylbenzofurans (DHDMBFs) with substituents at the 5th position: CONH(CH2)2OMe (BF1), CONH-c-Pr (BF2), 3-methylene-gamma-butyrolactonyl (BF3) and oxicams namely, meloxicam (Mel), piroxicam (Pir) and tenoxicam (Ten). These were optimized using molecular mechanics (MM) and molecular dynamics (MD) techniques. The binding energies and structures were compared with pharmacological parameters and available results with COX-1. In case of NS a larger difference in the binding energies between COX-2 and COX-1 was noticed as compared to that of Ind. It also had stronger interaction with His90 and Tyr355 which is considered important for COX-2 selectivity. There was a difference in the compactness at the channel entrance between COX-2 selective and non-selective ligands. Models with DHDMBFs and oxicams showed a similar correlation. The results were used to design a peptide inhibitor, Tyr-Arg-Cys-Ala-delta Phe-Cys (Pept) which could fit better in the COX-2 cavity. As per our MD simulation results this peptide inhibitor showed both higher activity and COX-2 selectivity. 相似文献

In a hydroponic setting, we investigated the possible role of phytochelatins (metal-binding peptides) in the lead (Pb) tolerance of vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides L.). Pb was added to the nutrient medium at concentrations ranging from 0 to 1,200 mg L?1. Furthermore, we simulated the effect of soil phosphorus (P) on potentially plant available Pb by culturing vetiver grass in P-rich nutrient media. After 7 days of exposure to Pb, we evaluated the Pb uptake by vetiver grass. Results indicate that vetiver can accumulate Pb up to 3,000 mg kg?1 dry weight in roots with no toxicity. Formation of lead phosphate inhibited Pb uptake by vetiver, suggesting the need for an environmentally safe chelating agent in conjunction with phytoremediation to clean up soils contaminated with lead-based paint. Unambiguous characterization of phytochelatins (PCn) was possible using high pressure liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESMS). Vetiver shows qualitative and quantitative differences in PCn synthesis between root and shoot. In root tissue from vetiver exposed to 1,200 mg Pb L-1, phytochelatins ranged from PC1 to PC3. Collision-induced dissociation of the parent ion allowed confirmation of each PCn based on the amino acid sequence. Possible Pb-PC1 and Pb2-PC1 complexes were reported in vetiver root at the highest Pb concentration. The data from these experiments show that the most probable mechanism for Pb detoxification in vetiver is by synthesizing PCn and forming Pb–PCn complexes. 相似文献

Metalloids represent a wide range of elements with intermediate physiochemical properties between metals and non-metals. Many of the metalloids, like boron, selenium, and silicon are known to be essential or quasi-essential for plant growth. In contrast, metalloids viz. arsenic and germanium are toxic to plant growth. The toxicity of metalloids largely depends on their concentration within the living cells. Some elements, at low concentration, may be beneficial for plant growth and development; however, when present at high concentration, they often exert negative effects. In this regard, understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the uptake of metalloids by roots, their subsequent transport to different tissues and inter/intra-cellular redistribution has great importance. The mechanisms of metalloids' uptake have been well studied in plants. Also, various transporters, as well as membrane channels involved in these processes, have been identified. In this review, we have discussed in detail the aspects concerning the positive/negative effects of different metalloids on plants. We have also provided a thorough account of the uptake, transport, and accumulation, along with the molecular mechanisms underlying the response of plants to these metalloids. Additionally, we have brought up the previous theories and debates about the role and effects of metalloids in plants with insightful discussions based on the current knowledge. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Malignant small bowel tumors are very rare and leiomyosarcoma accounts for less than 15% of the cases. Management of these tumors is challenging in view of nonspecific symptoms, unusual presentation and high incidence of metastasis. In this case report, an unusual presentation of jejunal sarcoma and management of liver metastasis with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is discussed. CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old male presented with anemia and features of small bowel obstruction. Operative findings revealed a mass lesion in jejunum with intussusception of proximal loop. Resection of bowel mass was performed. Histopathological findings were suggestive of leiomyosarcoma. After 3-years of follow-up, the patient developed recurrence in infracolic omentum and a liver metastasis. The omental mass was resected and liver lesion was managed with radiofrequency ablation. CONCLUSION: Jejunal leiomyosarcoma is a rare variety of malignant small bowel tumor and a clinical presentation with intussusception is unusual. We suggest that an aggressive management approach using a combination of surgery and a newer technique like RFA can be attempted in patients with limited metastatic spread to liver to prolong the long-term survival in a subset of patients. 相似文献
