PLANT THIOREDOXIN SYSTEMS REVISITED

PLANT/ds Revisited: Non-Homogeneous Evaluation Schema in Expert Systems

This paper describes several deficiencies of PLANT/ds, an expert system for the diagnosis of soybean diseases. This production system employs both human and machine derived rules. The rule application mechanism for both rule groups suffer from improper treatment of incomplete data. The problem is illustrated by several examples, and a solution is proposed. Implementation of a new version of PLA...

Chloroplast thioredoxin systems: prospects for improving photosynthesis

Thioredoxins (TRXs) are protein oxidoreductases that control the structure and function of cellular proteins by cleavage of a disulphide bond between the side chains of two cysteine residues. Oxidized thioredoxins are reactivated by thioredoxin reductases (TR) and a TR-dependent reduction of TRXs is called a thioredoxin system. Thiol-based redox regulation is an especially important mechanism t...

Linked thioredoxin-glutathione systems in platyhelminths.

The thioredoxin and glutathione systems play a central role in thiol-disulfide redox homeostasis in many organisms by providing electrons to essential enzymes, and defence against oxidative stress. These systems have recently been characterized in platyhelminth parasites, and the emerging biochemical scenario is the existence of linked processes with the enzyme thioredoxin glutathione reductase...
