Molecular cloning and characterization of the diageotropica gene in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)

Creator:

Oh, KwangChul

Abstract:

The auxin-resistant diageotropica (dgt) mutant of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) has a pleiotropic phenotype including a lack of lateral roots and reduced gravitropic response, apical dominance, vascular development, and fruit growth. The dgt mutation reduces the auxin sensitivity of only a subset of auxin responses while levels, metabolism, and transport...

Analysis of coproporphyrinogen III oxidase in maize : the genes, their expression, and the localization of their products

Creator:

Williams, Pascale M.

Abstract:

Coproporphyrinogen III oxidase (CPX) is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles, catalyzing the oxidative decarboxylation of coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen IX. In bacteria and yeast this enzyme is cytosolic, in animals it is mitochondrial, and in each it functions to produce heme. However, in all plants investigated, the...
