Plant peroxidases (class III peroxidases) are present in all land plants. They are members of a large multigenic family. Probably due to this high number of isoforms, and to a very heterogeneous regulation of t
Plant class III peroxidases exist as a large multigenic family involved in numerous functions suggesting a functional specialization of each gene. However, few genes have been linked with a specific function. Consequently total peroxidase activity is still used in numerous studies although its relevance ...
2. It is currently cultivated as a grain crop for animal and human consumption. Moreover, it is appreciated in crop rotation system as a green manure due to nitrogen fixation by symbiotic diazotrophs and general improvement of the
H2O2+2AH2→HRP C2H2O+2AHThe conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water is not the primary function of class III plant peroxidases such as HRP C. Other enzymes, including ascorbate The horseradish peroxidase isoenzyme family Fifteen peroxidase isoenzymes have been isolated from horseradish root using ...
1). The most famous example is the discovery of the first large-spectrum antibiotic penicillin produced by Penicillium rubens (formerly P. chrysogenum; (Houbraken et al., 2011)). Penicillin belongs to a family of compounds known as beta-lactams, which still accounts for the largest antibiotic ...
The LRR domain, however, is variable in length and shows large sequence variations since this domain is responsible for Avr recognition [50, 51]. Some members of the NLR gene family have been related to host plant resistance against V. dahliae. In V. dahliae-resistant cotton (Gossypium ...

class I heme-containing peroxidases and utilizes ascorbic acid (AsA) as a specific electron donor to facilitate the conversion of H2O2to H2O and O226. The presence of AsA can contribute to the removal of hydrogen peroxide and the enhancement of stress resistance in plants. Numerous studies have...
Thus, cannabinoids might not be unique to the cannabis plant, although their biosynthesis in other plants might follow different routes. Furthermore, of all the natural cannabinoids that were initially tested, THC was shown to be the only one responsible for the “recreational” properties induced ...
patens may be useful for functional characterization of land plant PRXs. Several PpPRXs were proposed for further study, including PpPRX34 and PpPRX39 in the ancient land plant-wide clade. Keywords: class III peroxidases; Physcomitrium patens; multigene family; gene duplication; expression ...
