swainsonine toxicosis mimics lectin histochemistry of mannosidosis.	cells affected by locoweed (astragalus lentiginosus) and swainsona galegifolia toxicosis or mannosidosis exhibit similarities in their catabolism of n-linked glycoproteins and accumulation of cytoplasmic vacuoles. we used nine different biotinylated lectins as histochemical markers for specific sugars and avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex as a visualant to study the cells affected with these conditions. since locoweed and swainsona spp block mannosidase activity, we expected a similar lectin stai ...	1985	3929453

stimulation of synthesis and release of swainosonine from transformed roots of swainsona galegifolia.	transformed root cultures of swainsona galegifolia were established for swainsonine production. stimulation of production of swainsonine and its release into the culture medium was achieved using copper sulphate, reduction of medium ph and supply of swainsonine precursors. the yield of control cultures (0.3 g of roots grown in 15 ml medium for 30 days) was 79 micrograms swainsonine with only a trace of swainsonine in the medium. after treatment with 1 mm copper sulphate for two days before harve ...	1994	7764877
feeding and development of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, homalodisca vitripennis, on australian native plant species and implications for australian biosecurity.	in any insect invasion the presence or absence of suitable food and oviposition hosts in the invaded range is a key factor determining establishment success. the glassy-winged sharpshooter, homalodisca vitripennis, is an important insect vector of the xylem-limited bacterial plant pathogen, xylella fastidiosa, which causes disease in numerous host plants including food and feedstock crops, ornamentals and weeds. both the pathogen and the vector are native to the americas and are considered to be ...	2014	24614821
