Molecular- and structural-biological studies on plant necrosis

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Two cannabinoids were identified as plant necrosis-inducing factors from Cannabis sativa. In addition, genes encoding cyclophilin D (CYD) and voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), which are assumed to be involved in necrosis, were cloned and expressed in E. coli. Anti-VDAC antibodies were prepared using recombinant VDAC. Animal VDAC antibodies are known to inhibit necrosis in animal cells, whereas the above VDAC antibodies obtained in my study had such inhibitory effect for plant cells.
