Journal ArticleDOI
Release of phytoalexins and related isoflavonoids from intact chickpea seedlings elicited with reduced glutathione at root level
TL;DR: Results indicate that GSH elicits the formation not only of the pterocarpan phytoalexins medicarpin and maackiain, but also that of the constitutive isoflavones biochanin A and formononetin and, in seedlings older than 4 d, that ofthe isoflavanones homoferreirin and cicerin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and properties of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hypocotyls
TL;DR: Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity was strongly inactivated by some heavy metal ions and by the amino group reagent acetic anhydride, but was latter effect was completely prevented by the simultaneous presence of substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in hypocotyls of sunflower seedlings by light, excision and sucrose
TL;DR: It is suggested that the results can be explained on the basis of a turnover mechanism involving continued de novo enzyme synthesis and subsequent synthesis of a PAL-inactivating system.
Journal ArticleDOI
L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from sunflower hypocotyls : modulation by cinnamic acids
TL;DR: Results indicate that in sunflower hypocotyls cinnamic acid could act as in vivo modulator(s) of PAL, affecting the mechanisms responsible for both the increase and decrease in enzyme activity.
