  • Studies on sterol : UDP glucose glucosyltransferase in germinating pea seedling

    Creator:
    Fang, Ta-Yun
    Abstract:
    Steryl glycoside is synthesized from mevalonate [2- ¹⁴C] in both maturing pea seeds and etiolated pea seedlings. The maturing seed appeared more active than the seedlings for this synthesis. The sugar moiety was identified predominantly as glucose by acid hydrolysis and paper chromatography of the aqueous extract of the hydrolysate....

  • Changes in enzyme activities of the isoprenoid pathway in germinating Pisum sativum

    Creator:
    Green, Terrence Robert, 1944-
    Abstract:
    The nature of the isoprenoid pathway and diversity of biologically significant products suggests that the pathway may be highly regulated, particularly under stress conditions, where the availability of high energy intermediates is limited. It was postulated that germinating seeds suffer from a limited supply of available energy and must therefore...

  • Lysophospholipase of germinating barley seeds

    Creator:
    Fujikura, Yuzo
    Abstract:
    The amylose component of cereal starch contains lysophospholipid, predominantly lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) as inclusion complexes. As starch undergoes degradation by amylases during barley germination, lysophospholipase (LPL) an enzyme which degrades lysophospholipids appears in the starchy endosperms and becomes associated with the starch fraction. The enzyme has been reported to have a...

  • Characterization of different forms of lysophospholipase in barley

    Creator:
    Lundgard, Robert
    Abstract:
    During barley germination, α-amylase and other hydrolases are synthesized in the aleurone layer and secreted into the starchy endosperm. As starch is degraded by amylases, lysophospholipids are released from inclusion complexes with the starch and undergo hydrolysis by a lysophospholipase (LPL) activity. Studies with embryo-free half seeds and isolated aleurone...

  • Design of a Radioisotope Powered Cubesat

    Creator:
    McConnell, Brice David
    Abstract:
    Miniature satellites called cubesats have been gaining increasing popularity in both academic and private spaceflight ventures. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has recently been accepting design proposals for a cubesat mission to Europa, where solar and battery power would be inadequate power sources. In this thesis, a radioisotope powered cubesat was...

  • Corrosion and corrosion control of trawl wire rope

    Creator:
    Dardel, Brice Marie Jean
    Abstract:
    Trawl cables are wire ropes which corrode under the influence of seawater depending on fishing habits. Information about the problem was obtained from the preceeding work by Robert D. Malloch, and from contacts with the fishermen. Statistical data about fishing boats and fishing habits on the Pacific Northwest Coast are...

    Creator:
    Abdelnour-Esquivel, Ana
    Abstract:
    1-Phenyl-3-(2-Thiazoly1)-2-Thiourea (PTTU), has been reported to inhibit dopamine-fi-hydroxylase (a copper-containing enzyme involved in the pathway of biosynthesis of adrenaline in animal systems). In the present study, PTTU has been shown to have cytokinin activity in the tobacco bioassay. The cytokinin activity of PTTU suggested that cytokinin-active N⁶-substituted adenine derivatives might...

    Creator:
    Risso, Derek A.
    Abstract:
    Riparian areas in the arid western United States are critical ecosystems that have been severely degraded by a variety of land and water uses over the last 100 years. In this study, the composition and structure of floodplain vegetation along the Lower Owens River in eastern California was quantitatively described...
