Degradation of the Major Storage Protein of Phaseolus vulgaris during Germination : Role of Endogenous Proteases and Protease Inhibitors.

abstract：:Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are key components of the plant antioxidant defense system. While plastidic and cytosolic isoforms have been extensively studied, the importance of mitochondrial SOD at a cellular and whole-plant level has not been established. To address this, transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana)...

abstract：:Computing techniques are used to simulate the course of uptake of K(+), Na(+), and Cl(-) by low-salt roots. Measurements of the fluxes of these ions in high-salt roots are used to calculate membrane permeabilities, which are then used to calculate cell uptake. In this way it is possible to test the predictive value of...
