63 results about "Ferredoxin" patented technology

Ferredoxins (from Latin ferrum: iron + redox, often abbreviated "fd") are iron–sulfur proteins that mediate electron transfer in a range of metabolic reactions. The term "ferredoxin" was coined by D.C. Wharton of the DuPont Co. and applied to the "iron protein" first purified in 1962 by Mortenson, Valentine, and Carnahan from the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium pasteurianum.

Tobacco ferredoxin capable of improving disease resistance of rice and coding gene of tobacco ferredoxin

InactiveCN109554354ARaise active oxygen levelsIncreased Blight AbilityLigasesPlant peptidesBiotechnologyDisease
The invention relates to tobacco ferredoxin capable of improving disease resistance of rice and a coding gene of the tobacco ferredoxin, and belongs to the field of disease-resistant genetic engineering of the rice. Tobacco ferredoxin Ferredoxin (NbFd) in effector protein XopL mediated plant cells generates ubiquitination, then the tobacco ferredoxin is degraded by proteasomes, and the number of plant cell chloroplasts entering the NbFd is reduced, so that transmission of electrons in photosynthesis is restrained, accumulation of active oxygen is caused, and plants are induced to produce an allergic reaction (HR) type disease-resistant reaction. Ferredoxin protein in the rice does not interact with XopL, but after Ferredoxin protein coding genes from tobacco are transferred into the rice,the resistance of the rice to bacterial leaf spot can be improved. The tobacco Ferredoxin protein coding gene NbFd obtained in the way of protein interaction can be used as a breeding gene resource ofthe rice for resisting bacterial leaf spots, and the resistance of obtained NbFd transgenic rice to the bacterial leaf spots can be notably improved.
