  • Developmental mutants of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

    Creator:
    Shii, Chou Tou
    Abstract:
    Hybrids with abnormal development were obtained when particular genotypes of Phaseolus vulgaris L. were crossed. The phenotypic aberrations of the F₁s included retarded growth, chlorosis of the trifoliate leaves and the formation of adventitious roots on the hypocotyls. The expression of the abnormalities was dependent on the temperature. At high...

  • The influence of selenium on selenoprotein W

    Creator:
    Yeh, Jan-ying
    Abstract:
    The objective of our study was to investigate the effect of selenium on selenoprotein W. Western blot analysis indicated that selenoprotein W is present in muscle, brain, testis and spleen of rat tissues. Tissue distribution of selenoprotein W was not altered in rats fed various selenium levels. Among muscle, brain,...

  • Characterization of rodent selenoprotein W promoter

    Creator:
    Amantana, Adams
    Abstract:
    Rat selenoprotein W (SeW) promoter activity was investigated using different concentrations of cadmium, copper, and zinc. Two fragments (404bp and 1265bp) of the SeW promoter, containing a single metal response element (MRE), were ligated into the multiple cloning site of a pGL3-Basic reporter plasmid. The constructs were transfected into cultured...

  • Selenoprotein W : Purification and characterization of its interaction with calmodulin

    Creator:
    Bauman, Andrew Thomas
    Abstract:
    Selenoprotein W (SeW) is a protein whose function is unknown, but potentially plays a vital role in calcium metabolism, as an indirect link has been established with white muscle disease (WMD). White muscle disease occurs in selenium deficient animals, and is characterized by the precipitation of calcium in muscle, leading...

  • Multiple forms of carboxylesterases in the green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and pea (Pisum sativum L.)

    Creator:
    Veerabhadrappa, Patnagere Siddaveera Sheety
    Abstract:
    Esterase activity of an aqueous extract of the green bean was separated into fourteen bands, while aqueous extracted pea esterases revealed seven bands, by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The fourteen bands of bean esterase activity formed three groups; slow, intermediate and fast moving. α-Naphthyl acetate, propionate, and n-butyrate and AS naphthol acetate...

    Creator:
    Radcliffe, John Clive
    Abstract:
    Field and laboratory tests were carried out to investigate the survival of the root-nodule bacterium, Rhizobium trifolii, when inoculated onto seeds of the pasture legume subterranean clover, (Trifolium subterraneum L.), in order to improve the nodulation and establishment of this plant in acid soils. Field experiments were carried out in...
