petals are colorful, rich in anthocyanins, and possess important ornamental, edible, medicinal value. However, the regulatory mechanism of anthocyanin accumulation
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins, one of the most important and largest transcription factor family in plants, play roles regulating growth development, stress response. In recent years, many bHLH genes have been identified characterized woody plants. However, a systematic analysis gene has not reported Ginkgo biloba, oldest relic plant species. this study, we identifed total 85 GbbHLH from genomic transcriptomic databases G. which were classified into 17 subfamilies based on...
Lactobacillus is one of the bacteria strains which has been widely used in human life, valuable probiotic properties. In present study, L. reuteri FLRE5K1 was isolated from healthy mouse kidney and tested for its anti-melanoma activity cell assays animal models. The results showed that could significantly reduce incidence melanoma 70 % to 30 prolonged survival tumor-bearing mice. Despite significant effect on prevention, tumor mass remained uneliminated. alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level...
A full-length cDNA and genomic DNA of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene, which catalyzes the first step in flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, were isolated from Ginkgo biloba for time (designated as GbPAL, GenBank Accession No. EU071050). The sequences GbPAL same, other words, this gene is intronless. coding region was 2172 bp long, its deduced protein consists 724 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass 79.1 kDa pI 5.96. showed high identities to plant PALs. Southern hybridization analysis...
Anthocyanidin synthase (ANS, leucoanthocyanidin oxygenase), a 2-oxoglutarate iron-dependent oxygenase, catalyzed the penultimate step in biosynthesis of anthocyanin class flavonoids, from colorless leucoantho-cyanidins to colored anthocyanidins. The full-length cDNA and genomic DNA sequences ANS gene (designated as GbANS) were isolated Ginkgo biloba for first time. GbANS contained 1062-bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 354-amino-acid protein. analysis showed that had three exons two...
Dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR, EC1.1.1.219) catalyzes a key step late in the biosynthesis of anthocyanins, condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins), and other flavonoids important to plant survival human nutrition. Three DFR cDNA clones (designated GbDFRs) were isolated from gymnosperm Ginkgo biloba. The deduced GbDFR proteins showed high identities DFRs, which form three distinct families. Southern blot analysis that GbDFRs each belong different family. Phylogenetic tree revealed share same...
Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is the first key enzyme of phenypropanoid pathway. A full-length cDNA PAL gene was isolated from Juglans regia for time, and designated as JrPAL. The JrPAL contained a 1935bp open reading frame encoding 645-amino-acid protein with calculated molecular weight about 70.4 kD isoelectric point (pI) 6.7. deduced showed high identities other plant PALs. Molecular modeling that 3D model similar to Petroselinum crispum (PcPAL), implying may have functions PcPAL....
Approximately 0.5-1 billion people worldwide face the risk of selenium (Se) deficiency because low Se concentration in their diets. Broccoli can accumulate and comprises a source daily supplement for humans. biofortification is an effective strategy enhancing content crops. In present study, effects yeast selenite application on nutrient quality broccoli were investigated.Broccoli growth was promoted by but inhibited selenite. The total florets remarkably increased with increasing exogenous...
