The accumulation of reducing sugars in potato tubers exposed to low temperatures occurs with concomitant formation of the enzyme invertase. During the initial period of cold treatment when reducing su...
Vacuolar (VI) and cell wall invertases (CWI) of higher plants can be inactivated in vitro and, possibly, in vivo by proteinaceous inhibitors. The respective mechanisms have not yet been compared. Ther...
Calystegines are alkaloidal glycosidase inhibitors. They accumulate predominantly in young and meristemic parts of Calystegia sepium (Convolvulaceae). C. sepium, bindweed, infests meadows and cereal f...
Protein inhibitors are molecules secreted by many plants. In a functional genomics approach, an invertase inhibitor (SolyCIF) of Solanum lycopersicum was identified at the Solanaceae Cornell Universit...
Previously we showed that acid invertase activity increased and then decreased rapidly in wounded sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Liam.) root tissue, and that the tissue contained a heat-stable, protein...
