The biosynthesis and metabolism of (-)-kaurene in cell-free extracts of immature pea seeds

Creator:

Coolbaugh, Ronald Charles, 1944-

Abstract:

Procedures were developed for assaying the biosynthesis of (-)- kaurene-¹⁴C and other intermediates in gibberellin (GA) synthesis from mevalonic acid-¹⁴C in cell-free enzyme extracts of immature pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) seeds. This system was utilized to investigate three aspects of GA biosynthesis: (1) apparent capacities for (-)-kaurene biosynthesis...

A biochemical investigation of the nitrogenase system from soybean root nodules

Creator:

Koch, Burton Lee

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the conditions necessary for the preparation of cell-free extracts of nodule bacteroids capable of catalysing the reduction of acetylene to ethylene and nitrogen to ammonia. Initial investigations were conducted to determine whether intact soybean root nodules would reduce acetylene to ethylene...

Propionate metabolism and its relationship to leghemoglobin biosynthesis in soybean nodules

Creator:

Jackson, Earl Kenneth

Abstract:

Experiments are reported which demonstrate that a cobalt deficiency in R. meliloti results in a decreased cytochrome content of bacterial cells. It is concluded that the effect of cobalt deficiency on cytochrome content of Rhizobium cells and on the leghemoglobin content of nodules possibly may be explained by an effect...
