Abstract Urease (urea amidohydrolase, EC 3.5. 1.5) is a nickel-containing enzyme produced
by plants, fungi, and bacteria that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and …

To meet the demands for food of the expanding world population, there is need of new ways
for protecting plant crops against predators and pathogens while avoiding the use of …

Urease, a nickel-dependent metalloenzyme, is synthesized by plants, some bacteria, and
fungi. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Although the …

Although seeds have been the subject of extensive studies for many years, their seed coats
are just beginning to be examined from the perspective of molecular genetics and control of …

Plants have evolved to synthesize a variety of noxious compounds to cope with unfavorable
circumstances, among which a large group of toxic proteins that play a critical role in plant …

Herbivorous arthropods have interacted with plants for millions of years. During feeding they
release chemical cues that allow plants to detect the attack and mount an efficient defense …

Ureases are metalloenzymes that hydrolyze urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. They
were the first enzymes to be crystallized and, with them, the notion that enzymes are proteins …

Developing countries are under the clutch of malnutrition due to a lack of protein rich food.
Protein supply can be broadened by exploration and exploitation of alternative legume …

The broad distribution of ureases in leguminous seeds, as well as the accumulation pattern
of the protein during seed maturation, are suggestive of an important physiological role for …

Main conclusion Coleoptera, the largest and the most diverse Insecta order, is characterized
by multiple adaptations to plant feeding. Insect-associated microorganisms can be important …
