This article presents an overview of the role of polyamines (PAs) in plant growth and
developmental processes. The PAs, putrescine, spermidine and spermine are low molecular …

In this review we will focus on two areas in which the accumulated evidence for a critical
physiological role of polyamines is becoming compelling, ie reproductive activity and …

A cDNA of tobacco BY-2 cells corresponding to an mRNA species which was rapidly
induced by methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in the presence of cycloheximide (CHX) was found to …

Alterations in free and conjugated polyamines (PAs) and the enzymes involved in their
biosynthesis, namely arginine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase and S-adenosyl …

Polyamines are small, positively charged aliphatic amines that play a variety of roles in plant
physiology. Putrescine, spermidine, and spermine are usually what are collectively meant by …

Polyamine metabolism and function in plant cells have many elements in common with the
processes studied in microbial and animal systems. For example, plant and bacterial cells …

Aspergillus nidulans is a filamentous, ubiquitous and opportunistic pathogenic fungus,
which causes fatal invasive aspergillosis among immunocompromised patients. As a …

The diamine putrescine and the polyamines spermidine and spermine are amino acid-
derived, aliphatic nitrogenous compounds of wide distribution among plant cells (Fig. 1). The …

The floral organs of the male sterile stamenless-2 (sl-2/sl-2) mutant of tomato (Lycopersicon
esculentum Mill.) contain significantly higher level of polyamines than those of the normal (R …

In this work we studied putative ornithine decarboxylase activity (ODC, EC 4.1. 1.17) in
leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana L.(ecotype Columbia) plants at non-flowering stage (about 21 …
