The effects of soybean lipoxygenase-1 on chloroplasts from wheat

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
It is proposed that soybean lipoxygenase-1 selectively attacks free linolenic acid present in chloroplasts, followed by a chlorophyll-catalysed reaction of hydroperoxylinolenic Acid with components of the electron transfer system to cause a marked decrease in the photochemical activity.

The role of jasmonic acid and related compounds in the regulation of plant development.

TL;DR: This chapter reviews the roles of jasmonic acid (JA) and related compounds in the regulation of plant development and the kinetics characteristics of oxygen evolution indicated that JA decreased the value of the total number of oxygen-evolving centers.

Pigments present in virgin olive oil

TL;DR: The qualitative and quantitative control of pigments in ripe olives and in extracted virgin olive oil has increased our knowledge of the influence on these compounds in the areas of ripening of the fruit, storage time in the factory and the oil extraction process as discussed by the authors.

Oxidative Systems for Modification of Fatty Acids: The Lipoxygenase Pathway

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the advances in plant lipoxygenase and concludes that a unique physiological role for LOX probably does not exist in plants and it likely has a more general function of responding to plant requirements by synthesizing fatty acid hydroperoxide, the central intermediate for a variety of diverging metabolic pathways.

Consequences of spatial separation of photosystem 1 and 2 in thylakoid membranes of higher plant chloroplasts

TL;DR: Fractionation of ~ylakoids into grana and stroma thylakoid fractions by detergent or mechanical methods shows that the large subchlo-fracture particles located in appressed and exposed membranes reflect a difference in the distribution of the main intrinsic macromolecular complexes of thylAKoid membranes in the two regions.

The influence of oxygen on the fluorescence of lipoxygenase.

TL;DR: The mechanism of fluorescence enhancement of lipoxygenase induced by oxygen is discussed in relation to similar observations previously described for fluorescent molecules contained in a solid polyvinyl matrix.

Lowering of Endogenous Lipoxygenase Activity in Pisum sativum Foliage by Cytokinin as Related to Senescence

TL;DR: It is suggested that the lipoxygenase repression induced by CK is a contributing mechanism to the overall antisenescence action of the hormone, and that this may have biological implications.
