PvUPS1 plays a role in source-sink transport of allantoin in French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Abstract

Nodulated tropical legumes such as French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) receive their nitrogen via N-fixing rhizobia. The principal products of fixed nitrogen are the ureides allantoin and allantoic acid that are synthesised in root nodules and then translocated to the mature leaves of the shoot via the xylem. By feeding [14C]allantoin to mature leaves and roots of French bean plants we showed that this ureide is transported over long distances by xylem and then phloem to developing organs such as pods, root tips and growing leaves. For analysis of allantoin partitioning within the plant, concentrations of allantoin in French bean organs and xylem sap were determined. The amounts of allantoin varied between organs, with the highest levels being detected in the stems. Differences in levels of allantoin were found between nodulated and non-nodulated plants, with generally higher allantoin concentrations in tissues and xylem sap of nodulated plants. RNA and protein expression of the recently identified French bean allantoin permease PvUPS1 (AY461734) was detected in all plant organs indicating a function in allantoin transport throughout the plant. The levels of PvUPS1 expression were consistent with the allantoin concentrations in...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
