Journal ArticleDOI
Leaf abscission in Impatiens (Balsaminaceae) is due to loss of highly de-esterified homogalacturonans in the middle lamellae
TL;DR: In the leaf abscission zone of Impatiens, wall alterations during abscissions are strictly limited to the plane of separation and involve only the loss of highly de-esterified pectins from the middle lamellae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tentoxin effects onSorghum: The role of polyphenol oxidase
Kevin C. Vaughn,S. O. Duke +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that tentoxin may affect the transport of cytosolic proteins into the plastid in Sorghum bicolor because bundle sheath plastids ofSorghum have no PPO activity at any developmental stage, yet are affected by tentoxin, PPO cannot be uniquely affected by this toxin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unusual trichome structure and composition in mericarps of catchweed bedstraw (Galium aparine).
TL;DR: The unique plugged, thickened, and hooked tip of these trichomes appears to be the result of a specific combination and distribution of various pectic polysaccharide molecules, which may facilitate the formation of highly curved structures that might be difficult to form with the more rigid xyloglucans and xylans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peroxidase involvement in lignification in water‐impermeable seed coats of weedy leguminous and malvaceous species
TL;DR: The results confirmed POD involvement in lignification of leguminous and malvaecous species and support and extend the earlier view that POD is involved inLignin formation during development of impermeable seed coats.

Biochemical Basis of Herbicide Resistance
Kevin C. Vaughn,Stephen O. Duke +1 more
TL;DR: Interest in the subject of herbicide resistance has blossomed since the discovery of the first triazine-resistant weed in the early 1970s because the resistance trait represents an excellent marker for transformation of crop plants because the herbicide may be utilized as a selective agent to remove non-transformed individuals.
