| plasma membrane aquaporins are involved in winter embolism recovery in walnut tree. | in perennial plants, freeze-thaw cycles during the winter months can induce the formation of air bubbles in xylem vessels, leading to changes in their hydraulic conductivity. refilling of embolized xylem vessels requires an osmotic force that is created by the accumulation of soluble sugars in the vessels. low water potential leads to water movement from the parenchyma cells into the xylem vessels. the water flux gives rise to a positive pressure essential for the recovery of xylem hydraulic con ... | 2003 | 14526109 |
| phytochemical inhibition of aflatoxigenicity in aspergillus flavus by constituents of walnut (juglans regia). | tulare walnut, a cultivar highly resistant to aflatoxin formation, was investigated for endogenous phytochemical constituents capable of inhibiting aflatoxigenesis in aspergillus flavus. the activity, located entirely in the pellicle (seed coat), was extractable to various degrees with polar solvents, although some activity remained unextractable, indicating that the bioactivity resided in a complex of hydrolyzable tannins. these tannins can be hydrolyzed by a fungal tannase present in a. flavus ... | 2004 | 15053524 |
