Jasmonic acid (JA) and its methyl ester (MeJA) at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 10
μM provoked large increases in methylputrescine levels in normal and hairy roots of …

Production of acid-soluble conjugated di-and polyamines, like that of other secondary
metabolites, is enhanced by exposure to methyl jasmonate (MJ). We investigated this …

Abstract Treatment of the first leaves of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Golden Promise)
seedlings with methyl jasmonate (MJ) led to small, but significant increases in levels of free …

The activities of enzymes related to the biosynthesis of N-methylputrescine, a precursor of
the alkaloid hyoscyamine, have been measured in root cultures of Datura stramonium L. and …

The activity of arginine decarboxylase (EC 4.1. 1.19) in cultured roots of Hyoscyamus albus
L., which produce considerable amounts of tropane alkaloids, was twice that of ornithine …

The effects were investigated of several polyamine synthesis inhibitors on root growth and
morphology and on polyamine content of normal and transformed (with Agrobacterium …

The ability of methyl jasmonate (MeJa) to induce sesquiterpene production in root cultures of
Hyoscyamus muticus has been studied. Although MeJa alone could not induce …

The effects of methyl jasmonate (MJ) and salicylic acid (SA) on the production of tropane
alkaloids (TA) and the expression of putrescine N-methyltransferase (PMT) and …

Spermidine degradation has been studied in Limonium tataricum because it was suspected
to be involved in β-alanine and β-alanine betaine biosynthesis, the typical betaine of this …

The cDNA from Nicotiana tabacum encoding Putrescine N-methyltransferase (PMT), which
catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of tropane alkaloids, has been …
