Fusarium wilt of spinach, caused by oxysporum f. sp. spinaciae, is an important disease during warm conditions in production regions with acid soils, yet little known about what confers pathogenicity to spinach F. spinaciae genetically. To identify candidate fungal genes that contribute wilt, each 69 geographically diverse isolates was tested for on three inbreds. Thirty-nine identified as quan...

Green spinach is a vegetable that can be consumed by its leaves as green and used processed food, both main menu snack. Spinach has many nutritional contents such protein, minerals, calcium, iron vitamins needed in the body. Iron contained supplement, if large doses long time cause damage to intestinal lining, abnormalities pH of body, shock liver failure. An alternative meet needs done consumi...

Spinach leaves, containing several active components, including flavonoids, exhibit antioxidative, antiproliferative, and antiinflammatory properties in biological systems. Spinach extracts have been demonstrated to exert numerous beneficial effects, such as chemo- and central nervous system protection and anticancer and antiaging functions. In this review article, we present a compilation of d...

Acylation Mechanism, Galactolipid Synthesis The occurrence of acylgalactosylglycerol (AGG) in spinach chloroplasts is proposed. In lipid se­ parations of whole spinach leaves this fraction is hidden by variable amounts of extraplastidary steryl glucoside (SG) which depended on the physiological state of the leaf material. Beside the phospholipid fraction, this lipid mixture with unique chromato...

Starch debranching enzyme was purified from intact spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. cv Vital) chloroplasts and from a spinach leaf extract using affinity chromatography on Sepharose 6B-bound cycloheptaamylose (Schardinger beta-dextrin). The enzyme from both sources was homogeneous upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Spinach leaf debranching enzyme appears to consist of ...

BACKGROUND Quality management in the fresh produce industry is an important issue. Spinach is exposed to various adverse conditions (temperature, light, etc.) within the supply chain. The present experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of light conditions (dark, low-intensity light (LL) and high-intensity light (HL)) and photoperiod (6 h HL and 18 h dark) on the quality changes of ...

The primary route of COn incorporation in C-4 plants (corn) has been formulated to be fi-carboxylation catalyzed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, while in C-3 plants (spinach) COZ enters the carboxyl carbon of glycerate 3-phosphate after reacting with ribulose 1,5-diphosphate. Detached leaf tissues of spinach and corn were compared with respect to their fixation of CO* in the dark or in the ...
