Expression profiling and functional analyses of BghPTR2, a peptide transporter from Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei.

The obligate ascomycete parasitic fungus Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh) has a unique lifestyle as it is completely dependent on living barley leaves as substrate for growth.

Three differentially expressed basic peroxidases from wound-lignifying Asparagus officinalis.

The activity of ionically bound peroxidases from an asparagus spear increased from 5-24 h post-harvest. Isoelectric focusing showed that the post-harvest increase of the total peroxidase activity was due to the increase of several distinct isoperoxidases. Concomitantly, a decrease in the activity of two anionic peroxidases was observed.
