Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is known to be a mutually beneficial plant-fungal symbiosis; however, the effect of mycorrhization is heavily dependent on multiple biotic and abiotic factors. Therefore, for the proper employment of such plant-fungal symbiotic systems in agriculture, a detailed underst...
To investigate the mechanistic effects of UV irradiation on pea seedlings at the protein level, proteomic analyses were performed on pea seedlings irradiated daily with 0 and 10 min UV-B.
Posttranslational lysine acetylation is believed to occur in all taxa and to affect thousands of proteins. In contrast to the hundreds of mitochondrial proteins reported to be lysine-acetylated in non-plant species, only a handful have been reported from the plant taxa previously examined. To invest...
This experiment aims to define the transcriptome of pea cultivars, and find differences between cultivars and between epigenetic wild-type and \"rogue\" plants.
Time course of bacteroid formation. Bacteroids were harvested from pea nodules at 7, 15 and 21 d after inoculation onto 7 d old pea plants. The transcription profile of each bacteroid sample at the 3 time points was compared to cells grown in free-living culture on succinate ammonia AMS.
Grass pea seeds and seedlings protein extracts were chromatographically fractionated. To identify the β-ODAP synthase enzyme, active fractions, as determined by a colorimetric assay that detects the presence of a derivative of free L-α,β-diaminopropionic acid (L-DAPA), were subjected to tryptic dige...
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv viciae strain 3841 was inoculated onto pea (Pisum sativum) seeds and nodules were harvested at 28 d. The gene expression was compared to free-living bacteria grown on succinate ammonia AMS medium.
