The germination process increases enzymatic activity. However, this does not occur in the
same way in all cereals. It depends on the type of enzyme, the cereal, and the conditions of …

Protelytic enzymes are known to be associated with developmentally programmed cell
death during organ senescence and tracheary element differentiation. Recent evidence also …

Systemic acquired resistance is an important component of the disease resistance repertoire
of plants. In this study, a novel synthetic chemical, benzo (1, 2, 3) thiadiazole-7-carbothioic …

From a mid-maturation seed cDNA library we have isolated cDNA clones encoding two
Triticum aestivum puroindolines. Puroindoline-a and puroindoline-b, which are 55% similar …

The plant cell vacuole has multiple functions, including storage of proteins and maintenance
of an acidic pH where proteases will have maximal activity. It has been assumed that these …

Plant cell vacuoles may have storage or lytic functions, but biochemical markers specific for
the tonoplasts of functionally distinct vacuoles are poorly defined. Here, we use antipeptide …

An individual plant cell may contain at least two functionally and structurally distinct types of
vacuoles: protein storage vacuoles and lytic vacuoles. Presumably a cell that stores proteins …

Caleosin is a Ca2+‐binding oil‐body surface protein. To assess its role in the degradation of
oil‐bodies, two independent insertion mutants lacking caleosin were studied. Both mutants …

BP-80 is a type I integral membrane protein abundant in pea (Pisum sativum) clathrin-
coated vesicles (CCVs) that binds with high affinity to vacuole-targeting determinants …

Storage proteins are deposited into protein storage vacuoles (PSVs) during plant seed
development and maturation and stably accumulate to high levels; subsequently, during …
