Developing medicinal plants

Solanum procumbens Lour. is a traditional medicinal plant known for its rich glycoalkaloid content. This research aimed to determine the suitable types and application rates of microbial organic fertilizers to enhance yield and glycoalkaloid content in Solanum procumbens Lour. A two-factor experiment was conducted using a Split-Plot Design (SPD) with three replications.

The tassel fern, Huperzia squarrosa, is a rare and medicinally valuable plant known for containing Huperzine A. It propagates naturally through spores, rhizomes, cuttings, and clump division, but with a slow multiplication rate. This study aimed to optimize propagation conditions for H. squarrosa using stem cuttings and in vitro culture techniques to support its preservation and development.

The main aim of this thesis is to overcome the second limitation of the automatic plant identification (low recognition accuracy) by proposing novel and robust methods for plant recognition. For this, we first focus on improving the recognition accuracy of plant identification based on images of one sole organ. Among different organs of the plant, we select leaf as this organ is the most widely in the literature.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a Gram-negative, phytopathogenic bacterium and is characterized by an unique mode of action on dicotyledonous plants: it is able to genetically modify the host, and because of this feature, it is used as a tool for transgenic plants. Many experiments have demonstrated that lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) play an important role for the disease development, as they are involved in the adhesion process of the bacterium on the plant cell wall.

Plant lipoxygenases (LOXs) are a class of dioxygenases which display diverse functions in several physiological processes such as growth, development and response to biotic and abiotic stresses.Even though LOXs have been characterized from several plant species, the physiological role of seed LOXs is still unclear.With the aim to better clarify the occurrence of LOXs and their influence on hazelnut seed quality, we carried out the biochemical and molecular characterization of the main LOX isoforms expressed during seed development....

Inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) is an important enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of inorganic pyro-phosphate (PPi)intoortho-phosphate (P i ). We report here the molecular cloning and characterization of a gene encoding the soluble PPase of the roundworm Ascaris suum. The predicted A. suumPPase consists of 360 amino acids with a molecular mass of 40.6 kDa and a pI of 7.1.

Tobacco pathogenesis-related protein 1a (PR-1a) is induced in plants during the hypersensitive response (HR) after exposure of plants to salicylic acid (SA) and by develop-mental cues.Gene activation by these diverse stimuli is mediated via anas-1-like element in the PR-1aupstream region.To further analyze the significance of thiscis-acting sequence, an authentic as-1element from the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S RNA promoter was inserted into the PR-1apromoter in place of theas-1-like motif.

Higher plant chloroplasts possess at least four different pathways for pro-tein translocation across and protein integration into the thylakoid mem-branes. It is of interest with respect to plastid evolution, which pathways have been retained as a relic from the cyanobacterial ancestor (‘conserva-tive sorting’), which ones have been kept but modified, and which ones were developed at the organelle stage, i.e. are eukaryotic achievements as (largely) the Toc and Tic translocons for envelope import of cytosolic pre-cursor proteins. ...

Phytochromes are photoreceptor proteins that monitor the light environ-ment and regulate a variety of photomorphogenic responses to optimize the growth and development of plants. Phytochromes comprise N-terminal photosensory and C-terminal regulatory domains. They are mutually pho-toconvertible between a red-light-absorbing (Pr) and a far-red-light-absorb-ing (Pfr) form. Their interconversion by light stimuli initiates downstream signaling cascades.

Jasmonic acid and its methyl ester are ubiquitous plant sig-nalling compounds necessary for the regulation of growth and development, as well as for the response of plants to environmental stress factors. To date, it is not clear whether methyl jasmonate itself acts as a signal or if its conversion to jasmonic acid is mandatory prior to the induction of a def-ense response. We have cloned a cDNA, encoding a methyl jasmonate-cleaving enzyme, from tomato cell suspension cultures.

A pair of nuclear receptors, ecdysone receptor (EcR) and ultraspiracle (USP), heterodimerize and transduce ecdysteroid signals. The EcR and its nonsteroidal ligands are being developed for regulation of transgene expres-sion in humans, animals and plants. In mammalian cells, EcR:USP heterodimers can function in the absence of ligand, but EcR⁄retinoid X receptor (EcR:RXR) heterodimers require the presence of ligand for activa-tion.

UDP-d-glucuronic acid and UDP-d-xylose are required for the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycan in mammals and of cell wall polysaccharides in plants. Given the importance of these glycans to some organisms, the development of a system for production of UDP-d-glucuronic acid and UDP-d-xylose from a common precursor could prove useful for a number of applications.

We developed a new method for inhibiting tobacco mosaic virus infection in tobacco plants based on specific RNA hydrolysis induced by a leadzyme. We identified a leadzyme substrate target sequence in genomic tobacco mosaic virus RNA and designed a 16-mer oligoribonucleotide capable of forming a specific leadzyme motif with a five-nucleotide catalytic loop.

TheArabidopsis acd11mutant exhibits runaway, programmed cell death due to the loss of a putative sphingosine transfer protein (ACD11) with homology to mammalian GLTP. We demonstrate that transgenic expres-sion in Arabidopsis thalianaof human GLTP partially suppressed the phenotype of theacd11null mutant, resulting in delayed programmed cell death development and plant survival.
