DFMO (α‐dl‐difluoromethylornithine), a specific irreversible inhibitor of ornithine
decarboxylase (ODC), a polyamine biosynthetic pathway enzyme, strongly inhibits root …

The effect of four polyamines, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine, on
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) infection by Glomus intraradices was tested on Pisum sativum …

The diamine putrescine, the triamine spermidine and the tetraamine spermine are
ubiquitous in nature. In fungi, spermidine appears to be the major polyamine, and changes …

DL-alpha-Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an inhibitor of the polyamine biosynthetic
enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1. 1.17), strongly retards the growth of several …

A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of difluoromethylornithine (DFMO, an
irreversible inhibitor of putrescine (Put) formation) alone or combination with Put on …

In higher plants, polyamines arise from arginine by one of two pathways: via ornithine and
ornithine decarboxylase or via agmatine and arginine decarboxylase but in fungi, only the …

We have studied the effects of two polyamine biosynthetic inhibitors, α-difluoro-
methylornithine (DFMO) and α-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), and of polyamines (PAs) …

The main free polyamines identified in ungerminated spores of Glomus mosseae were
putrescine and spermidine. Changes in the level of these metabolites occurred during …

The diamine putrescine and the polyamines spermidine and spermine are ubiquitous in
nature and are essential for cell proliferation. Since polyamine biosynthesis in plants can …

We report the effect of ectomycorrhizal fungi (Suillus variegatus, Paxillus involutus) and
defoliation on polyamine concentrations in pine (Pinus silvestris) and birch (Betula pendula) …
