Polyamine metabolizing rhizobacteria Pseudomonas sp. GBPI_506 modulates hormone signaling to enhance lateral roots and nicotine biosynthesis in Nicotiana benthamiana.

Beneficial rhizobacteria in the soil are important drivers of plant health and growth. In this study, we provide the draft genome of a root colonizing and auxin-producing Pseudomonas sp. strain GBPI_506.

Synergistic effect of graphene oxide and silver nanoparticles as biostimulant improves the postharvest life of cut flower bird of paradise (Strelitzia reginae L.).

The bird of paradise ( L.) is one of the important tropical cut flowers. Generally, flowers like bird of paradise (BOP) grown for the commercial ornamental market must be of high pre and postharvest quality.

Site-directed mutagenesis (P61G) of copper, zinc superoxide dismutase enhances its kinetic properties and tolerance to inactivation by HO.

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) protect the cells by catalyzing the dismutation of harmful superoxide radicals (O) into molecular oxygen (O) and hydrogen peroxide (HO). Here, a Cu, Zn SOD (WT) from a high altitude plant (Potentilla atrosanguinea) was engineered by substituting a conserved residue proline to glycine at position 61 (P61G). The computational analysis showed higher structural flexibility and clusters in P61G than WT.

Improving the catalytic efficiency and dimeric stability of Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase by combining structure-guided consensus approach with site-directed mutagenesis.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) leads the front line of defense against injuries mediated by the reactive oxygen species (ROS). The SOD from a high-altitude plant Potentilla atrosanguinea is a unique thermostable enzyme. In this study, we applied a structure-guided consensus approach on Cu,Zn SOD from Potentilla atrosanguinea plant, to improve its enzymatic properties.

A thermostable Fe/Mn SOD of Geobacillus sp. PCH100 isolated from glacial soil of Indian trans-Himalaya exhibits activity in the presence of common inhibitors.

Superoxide dismutases are the enzymes involved in dismutation of superoxide radicals into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The present work reports a thermostable Fe/Mn SOD of Geobacillus sp. strain PCH100 (GsSOD) isolated from glacial soil.

Identification of host factors limiting the overexpression of recombinant Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase in Escherichia coli.

Objective: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme has implications in modulating the cell's redox state. The study aims to explore the host genetic factors that limit the heterologous expression of a thermostable SOD from Potentilla atrosanguinea (Pa-SOD) in E. coli.
