Antimicrobial activity of an aspartic protease from Salpichroa origanifolia fruits
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-04-24)
Abstract: Plant proteases play a fundamental role in several processes like growth, development and in response to biotic and abiotic stress. In particular, aspartic proteases (AP) are expressed in different plant organs ...
DEVDase activity is induced in potato leaves during Phytophthora infestans infection
(Elsevier France-editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2012-12)
Programmed cell death (PCD) occurs in plants, animals and several branches of unicellular eukaryotes as a part of developmental and/or defense processes. Caspase proteases are universal mediators of animal apoptosis, a ...
Different soybean cultivars respond differentially to damage in a herbivore-specific manner and decreas herbivore performance
(Springer, 2020-02)
This study demonstrates that soybean cultivars respond differentially to damage in a herbivore-specific manner, and trigger responses decreasing herbivore performance. Soybean crops are affected by a great number of insect ...
An invertase inhibitory protein from Pteris deflexa link fronds
(Taylor & Francis, 2001-12)
Plant invertases play important roles in sucrose metabolism. Cell wall invertase was reported to participate in phloem loading and unloading. Soluble invertases would be involved in hexose level regulation in mature tissues ...
Co-expressing Turnip Crinkle Virus-coat protein with the serine protease α-thrombin precursor (pFIIa) in Nicotiana benthamiana Domin
(Springer, 2019-02)
The serine protease α-thrombin (FIIa) plays a fundamental role in blood clotting. In the present report, a FIIa precursor (pFIIa) was expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana Domin. The expression construct featured the Kozak ...
Solar UV-B radiation and ethylene play a key role in modulating effective defenses against Anticarsia gemmatalis larvae in field-grown soybean
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-02)
Solar UV-B radiation has been reported to enhance plant defenses against herbivore insects in many species. However, the mechanism and traits involved in the UV-B mediated increment of plant resistance are unknown in crops ...
Subtilase activity and gene expression during germination and seedling growth in barley
(Elsevier France-editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2019-06)
Proteases play a main role in the mobilization of storage proteins during seed germination. Until today, there is little information about the involvement of serine proteases, particularly subtilases, in the germination ...
Virtual Screening of Plant-Derived Compounds Against SARS-CoV-2 Viral Proteins Using Computational Tools
(American Chemical Society, 2020-10)
The new SARS-CoV-2, responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has been threatening public health worldwide for half a year. The aim of this work was to evaluate compounds of natural origin, mainly from medicinal plants, as ...
Field-grown soybean induces jasmonates and defensive compounds in response to thrips feeding and solar UV-B radiation
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-12)
Solar UV-B radiation has been reported to enhance constitutive and inducible plant defenses against herbivore insects in many species. However, the induction of plant defenses depends on the phytohormone profile induced ...
Characterization of the fruit proteolytic system of Bromelia serra Griseb. (Bromeliaceae) and its application in bioactive peptides release
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2022-01)
A crude extract with proteolytic activity was prepared from edible fruits of Bromelia serra, containing cysteine peptidases with molecular masses between 24.1 and 25.9 kDa. The extract presented an optimal pH range of ...
