  • The Cyanogenic Polymorphism in Trifolium Repens L
    Heredity66 (1991) 105—115 Received 16 May 1990 Genetical Society of Great Britain The cyanogenic polymorphism in Trifolium repens L. (white clover) M. A. HUGHES Department of Biochemistry and Genetics, The Medical School, The University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH Thecyanogenic polymorphism in white clover is controlled by alleles of two independently segregating loci. Biochemical studies have shown that non-functional alleles of the Ac locus, which controls the level of cyanoglucoside produced in leaf tissue, result in the loss of several steps in the biosynthetic pathway. Alleles of the Li locus control the synthesis of the hydrolytic enzyme, linamarase, which is responsible for HCN release following tissue damage. Studies on the selective forces and the distribution of the cyanogenic morphs of white clover are discussed in relation to the quantitative variation in cyanogenesis revealed by biochemical studies. Molecular studies reveal considerable restriction fragment length polymorphism for linamarase homologous genes.

  • The Role of Phytotoxic and Antimicrobial Compounds of Euphorbia Gummifera in the Cause and Maintenance of the Fairy Circles of Namibia
    The role of phytotoxic and antimicrobial compounds of Euphorbia gummifera in the cause and maintenance of the fairy circles of Namibia by Nicole Galt Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Magister Scientiae Department of Plant and Soil Sciences Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences University of Pretoria Pretoria Supervisor: Prof. J.J.M. Meyer March 2018 i The role of phytotoxic and antimicrobial compounds of Euphorbia gummifera in the cause and maintenance of the fairy circles of Namibia by Nicole Galt Department of Plant and Soil Sciences Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences University of Pretoria Pretoria Supervisor: Prof. J.J.M. Meyer Degree: MSc Medicinal Plant Science Abstract Fairy circles (FC) are unexplained botanical phenomena of the pro-Namib desert and parts of the West Coast of South Africa. They are defined as circular to oval shaped anomalies of varying sizes that are left bereft of vegetation. Even though there are several distinctly different hypotheses that have aimed to explain the origin of fairy circles, none have done so to satisfaction of the scientific community. The aim of this study was to determine if phytotoxic and antibacterial properties of a co-occurring Euphorbia species, E. gummifera plays a role in the creation of fairy circles. Representative soil samples (from inside-, outside fairy circles and underneath dead E. gummifera plants) and plant samples (aerial ii parts of E. gummifera and intact grasses, Stipagrostis uniplumis) were collected from the area. The collected samples were used for a several biological assays. A soil bed bio-assay was done using the three collected soil types.

Therefore, various types of interconnection exist between different aspects of nitrogen metabolism and the biosynthesis of these compounds. For legumes, flavonoids and isoflavonoids are postulated to play pivotal roles in adaptation to their biological environments, both as defensive compounds (phytoalexins) and as chemical signals in symbiotic nitrogen fixation with rhizobia. In this paper, we summarize the recent progress made in the characterization of flavonoid and isoflavonoid biosynthetic pathways in the model legume Lotus japonicus (Regel) Larsen under different abiotic stress situations, such as drought, the impairment of photorespiration and UV-B irradiation. Emphasis is placed on results obtained using photorespiratory mutants deficient in glutamine synthetase.

  • The Response of Cyanogenic and Acyanogenic Phenotypes of Trifolium Repens to Soil Moisture Supply W
    THE RESPONSE OF CYANOGENIC AND ACYANOGENIC PHENOTYPES OF TRIFOLIUM REPENS TO SOIL MOISTURE SUPPLY W. FOULDS Science Department, Dudley CollegeofEducation and J. P. GRIME DepartmentofBotany, University of Sheffield Received14.vi.71 I. INTRODUCTION THE legumes Trjfolium repens L. and LotuscorniculatusL. are represented in many parts of the world by populations in which some or all of the plants are capable of releasing hydrocyanic acid under certain conditions. For both species, there is evidence (Barber, 1955; Jones, 1962) that cyanogenic individuals are less susceptible to grazing by small herbivores. Cyanogenesis is determined by two independent genes designated Ac and Li (Corkill, 1942; Atwood and Sullivan, 1943). The gene Ac is dominant and is responsible for the production of two cyanogenic glucosides, lotaus- tralin and linamarin, which occur in the proportion 4 : 1 (Melville and Doak, 1940). Modifying genes determine the quantity of glucoside produced (Corkill, 1940). The cyanogenic glucosides can be hydrolysed by the - glucosidase,linamarase (Coop, 1940) the production of which is governed by the dominant gene Li. Hydrolysis yields acetone (from linamarin), methyl-ethyl-ketone (from lotaustralin), glucose, hydrogen cyanide and water. Hughes (1968) maintains that two -glucosidases occur in Trjfolium repens, one, linamarase of high activity, the other of low activity. Corkill (1940) showed that individual plants may contain both enzyme and glucoside (AcLi), enzyme only (acLi), glucoside only (Acli) or neither (acli). Daday (1954a, b, 1958) measured the contribution of each of the four phenotypes to populations of Trfo1ium repens sampled on a world scale and found that high frequencies of both Ac and Li genes were associated with warm winter conditions.

  • PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES on the CYANOGENIC GLUCOSIDES in LOTUS ARABICUS L. Very Little Work Relating to the Physiological Studies O
    PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THE CYANOGENIC GLUCOSIDES IN LOTUS ARABICUS L. YASH PAL ABROL Division of I!lant Physiology and Phytotron, Indian A,£;ricultural Research Institute, Delhi-12 SuMMARY Observations on the occurrence of cyanogenic glucosides, linamarin and lotaustralin, in Lotus arabicus L., are reported. During the vegetative stage, a major portion of the cyanogens is localised in the leaves. With the onset of flowering, cyanogen content on per plant basis shows a sharp decrease but flower buds and flowers have a high content. Experiments on feeding carbon-14 labelled L-valine and L-isoleucine to flower buds reveals that the compounds are synthesised in these parts. lYiature seeds do not contain any detectable amounts of the cyanogens. I:-!TRODUCTION Very little work relating to the physiological studies on cyanogenic glucosides in higher plants has been reported. This is very likely due to the predominant view held until recently that a very small number of plants are cyanophoric and that cyano­ genic glucosides are inert end products of metabolism (Robinson, 1930). Work of physiological nature is however of interest in view of the recent observations that cyanogenic glucosidcs arc widely distributed (Dilleman, 1958; Hegnaucr, 1964), HCN is metabolised by seedlings of cyanophoric as well as non-cyano­ phoric plants (Blumenthal-Goldschmidt, Butler and Conn, 1963 Tschiersch, 1964; Nigam and Ressler, 1964), cyanogenic gluco­ sides are metabolically active rather than inert end products (Abrol, Uribe and Conn, 1965; Abrol and Conn, 1966; Abrol, Conn and Stoker, 1966) and are very likely involved in the synthesis of various neurotoxic and neurolathvritic amino acids (Ressler, 1962 ; Tschiersch, 1964).

    CELINE MESSIER EFFETS DES POLYPHENOLS DE PLANTES SUR LA CROISSANCE ET CERTAINS FACTEURS DE VIRULENCE DE CANDIDA ALBICANS Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures de l'Université Laval dans le cadre du programme des études en sciences dentaires pour l'obtention du grade de maître es sciences (M. Se.) FACULTE DE MEDECINE DENTAIRE UNIVERSITÉ LAVAL QUÉBEC 2011 ©Céline Messier, 2011 Résumé Les buts de notre projet étaient d'étudier les effets de certains polyphenols de plantes sur la croissance, la survie, la formation du biofilm et la transition blastospore-hyphe de C. albicans, une levure responsable des candidoses humaines. Ce projet a permis de démontrer que deux polyphenols naturels de la réglisse, la licochalcone A et la glabridine, ainsi qu'un polyphenol synthétisé en laboratoire, le 4-hydroxycordoin, ont des propriétés intéressantes contre certains facteurs de virulence de C. albicans. La licochalcone A et la glabridine ont montré un effet fongicide et une action synergique avec le nystatin. La licochalcone A et le 4-hydroxycordoin ont démontré une capacité d'inhiber la formation du biofilm, alors que les trois polyphenols ont montré un effet inhibiteur sur la transition blastospore-hyphe de C. albicans. Ces molécules possèdent donc un potentiel pour le traitement ou la prévention d'infections fongiques buccales à C. albicans. 11 Avant-Propos Je désire d'abord remercier mon directeur de mémoire, Dr Daniel Grenier, pour son appui, son temps et sa patience tout au long de mon projet. Je veux également mentionner l'aide reçue de mes collègues de laboratoire. D m'est aussi important de souligner l'influence de deux personnes, Dr Jean Barbeau et Mme Jacynthe Séguin, qui m'ont transmis une multitude de connaissances et leur intérêt pour la recherche en microbiologie buccale.

  • Metabolism of the Cyanogenic Glucosides in Developing Flax: Metabolic Analysis, and Expression Pattern of Genes

Grunwaldzki 24A, 50-363 Wrocław, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 May 2020; Accepted: 12 July 2020; Published: 14 July 2020 Abstract: Cyanogenic glucosides (CG), the monoglycosides linamarin and lotaustralin, as well as the diglucosides linustatin and neolinustatin, have been identified in flax. The roles of CG and hydrogen cyanide (HCN), specifically the product of their breakdown, differ and are understood only to a certain extent. HCN is toxic to aerobic organisms as a respiratory inhibitor and to enzymes containing heavy metals. On the other hand, CG and HCN are important factors in the plant defense system against herbivores, insects and pathogens. In this study, fluctuations in CG levels during flax growth and development (using UPLC) and the expression of genes encoding key enzymes for their metabolism (valine N-monooxygenase, linamarase, cyanoalanine nitrilase and cyanoalanine synthase) using RT-PCR were analyzed. Linola cultivar and transgenic plants characterized by increased levels of sulfur amino acids were analyzed. This enabled the demonstration of a significant relationship between the cyanide detoxification process and general metabolism. Cyanogenic glucosides are used as nitrogen-containing precursors for the synthesis of amino acids, proteins and amines.
