Genome-Wide Transcriptional Changes and Lipid Profile

LTPs play a role in several biological processes, including the root nodule symbiosis. In this regard, the Medicago truncatula nodulin 5 (MtN5) LTP has been proved to positively regulate the nodulation capacity, controlling rhizobial infection and nodule primordia invasion. To better define the lipid transfer protein MtN5 function during the symbiosis, we produced MtN5-downregulated and -overexpressing plants, and we analysed the transcriptomic changes occurring in the roots at an early stage of Sinorhizobium meliloti infection. We also carried out the lipid profile analysis of wild type (WT) and MtN5-overexpressing roots after rhizobia infection. The downregulation of MtN5 increased the root hair curling, an early event of rhizobia infection, and concomitantly induced changes in the expression of defence-related genes. -

Reduction of Pectinesterase Activity in a Commercial Enzyme Preparation
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture J Sci Food Agric 85:1613–1621 (2005) DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.2154 Reduction of pectinesterase activity in a commercial enzyme preparation by pulsed electric fields: comparison of inactivation kinetic models Joaquın´ Giner, Pascal Grouberman, Vicente Gimeno and Olga Martın´ ∗ Department of Food Technology, University of Lleida, CeRTA-UTPV, ETSEA, Avda Alcalde Rovira Roure 191, 25198-Lleida, Spain Abstract: The inactivation of pectinesterase (PE) in a commercial enzyme preparation (CEP) under high intensity pulsed electric fields (HIPEF) was studied. After desalting and water dilution of the raw CEP, samples were exposed to exponentially decay waveform pulses for up to 463 µs at electric field intensities ranging from 19 to 38 kV cm−1. Pulses were applied in monopolar mode. Experimental data were fitted to a first-order kinetic model as well as to models based on Fermi, Hulsheger¨ or Weibull equations to describe PE inactivation kinetics. Characteristic parameters for each model were calculated. Relationships between some of the parameters and process variables were obtained. The Weibull model yielded the best accuracy factor. The relationship between residual PE and input of electrical energy density was found to be that of exponential decay. 2005 Society of Chemical Industry Keywords: pulsed electric fields; kinetics; pectinesterase; model; inactivation INTRODUCTION It has become customary to use CEPs in fruit and Pectinesterase (PE; EC 3.1.1.11) is a pectic enzyme vegetable juice technology.

The association between egg contamination and foodborne outbreaks of SE suggests egg derived SE might be more adept to cause human illness than SE from other sources. Therefore, there is a need to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the ability of egg- derived SE to colonize the chicken intestinal and reproductive tracts and cause disease in the human host. To this end, the present study was carried out in three objectives. The first objective was to sequence two egg-derived SE isolates belonging to the PFGE type JEGX01.0004 to identify the genes that might be involved in SE colonization and/or pathogenesis. -

Each VAO subunit consists of two domains, the FAD-binding and the cap domain. VAO catalyses, among other reactions, the two-step conversion of p-creosol (2- methoxy-4-methylphenol) to vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde).

Date: 6-07-2018 A S M Mainul Hasan i Abstract Flowering is one of the key developmental process associated with the life cycle of plant and it is regulated by different environmental factors and endogenous cues. In the model species Arabidopsis thaliana a mobile protein, FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) plays central role to mediate flowering time and expression of FT is regulated by photoperiod. While flowering mechanisms are well-understood in A. thaliana, knowledge about this process is limited in legume (family Fabaceae) which are the second major group of crops after cereals in satisfying the global demand for food and fodder.
