Strigolactones (SLs) and related butenolides, originally identified as active seed germination stimulants of parasitic weeds, play important roles in many aspects plant development. Two members the D14 α/β hydrolase protein family, DWARF14 (D14) KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2 (KAI2) are essential for SL/butenolide signaling. The third member family Arabidopsis, DWARF 14-LIKE2 (DLK2) is structurally very similar to KAI2, but its function unknown. We demonstrated that DLK2 does not bind nor hydrolyze...
Common thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) is a Mediterranean evergreen shrub of the Lamiaceae that shows chemical polymorphism in its natural populations. In habitats six basic chemotypes have been described according to main component essential oil: thymol, carvacrol, linalool, geraniol, α-terpineol, thuyanol-4, which thymol chemotype widely used cultivation and as spice. this study ten selected clones were analysed terms composition volatile oil genetic fingerprint. The question was whether...
SUMMARY KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2 (KAI2) is an α/β‐hydrolase required for plant responses to karrikins, which are abiotic butenolides that can influence seed germination and seedling growth. Although represented by four angiosperm species, loss‐of‐function kai2 mutants phenotypically inconsistent incompletely characterised, resulting in uncertainties about the core functions of KAI2 development. Here we characterised developmental grass Brachypodium distachyon using molecular, physiological...
SUMMARY Carotenoids contribute to a variety of physiological processes in plants, functioning also as biosynthesis precursors ABA and strigolactones (SLs). SL starts with the enzymatic conversion all‐ trans ‐β‐carotene 9‐ cis‐ β‐carotene by DWARF27 (D27) isomerase. In Arabidopsis, D27 has two closely related paralogs, D27‐LIKE1 D27‐LIKE2, which were predicted be β‐carotene‐isomerases. present study, we characterised identified some key aspects its functions Arabidopsis. d27‐like1‐1 mutant...
Abstract Our study describes genetic lineages and historical biogeography of Rhodiola rosea a widely distributed arctic‐alpine perennial species the Northern Hemisphere based on sequence analysis six chloroplast regions. Specimens 44 localities from have been sequenced compared with those available in GenBank. results support migration into Europe via Central Asian highland corridor, reaching European Alpine System (EAS) also western edge, British Isles. The EAS proved to be an important...
Lipid biosynthesis in microalgae can be stimulated by cultivation low nitrogen medium. MACC-401 was isolated from the soil surface Tres Marias (MG-Brazil). The strain shows morphological characteristics of Scenedesmaceae green algae. daily biomass and lipid production is remarkable, 0.36 g L−1 110 mg L−1, respectively. Exploration genetic background this promising not only allows utilization species for industrial-scale production, but also provides targets to select lipid-producing strains...
Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) has significant economic impact on horticulture worldwide. One of the five proteins encoded by TSWV genome is multifunctional NSs protein, which a viral suppressor RNA silencing (VSR) besides functioning as effector Tsw resistance gene in resistant pepper cultivars. In this study we demonstrate vivo self-interaction protein using bimolecular fluorescence complementation and yeast two-hybrid assays, propose that highly charged alpha helix located at second...
A „Netzwerk Digital” kezdeményezés keretében az Advantage Austria Magyarország a Budapesti Corvinus Egyetemmel együttműködve szervezte meg „Az E-Health jövője – Digitalizálódik egészségügy?” című rendezvényt. konferencia 2020. november 24-én valósult meg, COVID-19 vírus okozta járványügyi helyzetre tekintettel online platformon. rendezvényen téma szakértői vitatták egészségügy digitalizációját érintő lehetőségeket és kockázatokat, illetve témakört aktuális összefüggéseket. konferencián...
Abstract Carotenoids are colourful isoprenoids that contribute to a variety of physiological processes in plants. They also function as biosynthesis precursors abscisic acid (ABA) and strigolactones (SLs). SL starts with the enzymatic conversion all- trans -β-carotene 9- cis by DWARF27 (D27) isomerase. In Arabidopsis, D27 has two closely related paralogs, D27-LIKE1 D27-LIKE2 which were predicted be β-carotene-isomerases. Here we characterised identified some key aspects its function....
