Expression and characteristics of rice xylanase inhibitor OsXIP, a member of a new class of antifungal proteins
It has been hypothesized that xylanase inhibitors play important roles in plant defense against microbial pathogens. Currently, there is little information available about xylanase inhibitor OsXIP in rice and ...

Hydrolysis of xylans by a thermostable hybrid xylanase expressed in Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli-expressed a hybrid xylanase, Btx, encoded by a designed hybrid xylanase gene btx was purified. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 22 kDa. The Km and kcat values for Btx were 1.9...

Characterization of a xylanase inhibitor TAXI-I from wheat
Xylanase inhibitor TAXI-I gene was cloned from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and then TAXI-I encoding sequence was expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant TAXI-I protein inhibited glycoside hydrolase (GH) f...

Water-water cycle involved in dissipation of excess photon energy in phosphorus deficient rice leaves
The water-water cycle which may be helpful for dissipating the excitation pressure over electron transport chain and minimizing the risk of photoinhibition and photodamage was investigated in rice after 10-d P...

Effect of phosphorus deficiency on the photosynthetic characteristics of rice plants
The effects of phosphorus deficiency on the photosynthetic characteristics were studied in rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) every 8 days after treatment. P deficiency caused a significant reduction in the net pho...

Gene expression profiles analysis of the growing rat liver in response to different zinc status by cDNA microarray analysis
The effects of zinc on growing rats were characterized using the dietary zinc-deficient (ZD) and Zinc-overdose (ZO) models. Zinc, deficiency had negative effects on the host final body weight and liver zinc co...

Leaf anatomy, chloroplast ultrastructure, and cellular localisation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBPCO) and RuBPCO activase in Amaranthus tricolor L.
In Amaranthus tricolor the leaf structure included three layers of chlorenchyma on the vascular bundle periphery, namely, mesophyll cells (MSCs) with few chloroplasts, outer larger round bundle sheath cells (BSCs...

Effects of dietary zinc levels on the activities of enzymes, weights of organs, and the concentrations of zinc and copper in growing rats
Zinc (Zn) is an essential nutrient that is required in humans and animals for many physiological functions, including immune and antioxidant function, growth, and reproduction. The present study was performed ...
