Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of polyphenol oxidase in germinating wheat seeds
Shant R. Taneja,R.C. Sachar +1 more
TL;DR: A 50- and 100-fold increase in the o -diphenolase activity was observed respectively in excised coleoptiles and roots of wheat seedlings after germination for 4–5 days, associated with the appearance of several new multiple forms of o-dipenolase on acrylamide gels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separate monophenolase and o-diphenolase enzymes in Triticum aestivum
Shant R. Taneja,R.C. Sachar +1 more
TL;DR: It has been demonstrated that the two catalytic activities of the polyphenol oxidase of wheat grains are separable and reside in different enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulation of polyphenol oxidase (monophenolase) activity in wheat endosperm by gibberellic acid, cycloheximide and actinomycin D.
Shant R. Taneja,R.C. Sachar +1 more
TL;DR: Embryoless wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) half-seeds on incubation with gibberellic acid (GA3) showed a 2- to 2.5fold stimulation of monophenolase activity similar to that observed in endosperm treated with GA3 alone, however, there was no additive or synergistic enhancement of monophensol enzyme activity when GA3 was tested in combination with cycloheximide or actinomycin D.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzyme synthesis by conserved messengers in germinating wheat embryos
Shant R. Taneja,R.C. Sachar +1 more
TL;DR: A translational control of enzyme stimulation which is supported by conserved messengers present in the ungerminated wheat embryos is suggested, due to a direct block of translation of conserved message in wheat embryos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulation of ribonuclease activity and its isoenzymes in germinating seeds of cowpea (Vigna sinensis) by gibberellic acid and adenosine-3',5-cyclic monophosphate.
H. C. Kapoor,R.C. Sachar +1 more
TL;DR: Application of GA3 and cyclic AMP to cowpea seedlings caused a 2–3 fold stimulation of RNA enzyme activity, together with the augmentation of RNAase isoenzymes, andhibitor studies indicated the requirement of fresh RNA and protein synthesis for enzyme stimulation.
