The Effect of Bacterial AHL on the Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate Content in Plants According to High-Performance Liquid Chromatography.

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is an important second messenger in cells, mediating various stimulation signals such as the growth and development of organisms and stress and participating in regulating various biological processes of cells. This article explores the quantitative determination of cAMP in plants using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and applies this method to analyzing the changes in cAMP content during the process of plant response to the bacterial quorum sensing signal -acyl homoserine lactone (AHL). Research has shown that the optimal detection conditions for HPLC are as follows: the chromatographic column is Venusil MP C18 (2), the mobile phase is methanol-water (0.

Diffusible signal factor primes plant immunity against pv. () JA signaling in and .

Background: Many Gram-negative bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) signal molecules to monitor their local population density and to coordinate their collective behaviors. The diffusible signal factor (DSF) family represents an intriguing type of QS signal to mediate intraspecies and interspecies communication. Recently, accumulating evidence demonstrates the role of DSF in mediating inter-kingdom communication between DSF-producing bacteria and plants.

[Drying Process and Model of Banqiao Codonopsis Radix Slice in Air-impingement Jet Dryer].

Objective: To determine the drying process and to built model of Banqiao Codonopsis Radix slices dried in air-impingement jet dryer.

Methods: With taking the content of polysaccharides( CPPS),rehydration ratio( RR) and drying time as the evaluation indexes,the effects of drying temperature( 40,50,60 and 70 ℃),slices thickness( 1,2,3 and 4 mm) and air velocity( 8,10,12,and 14 m / s) on the content of CPPS,RR and drying time were studied. With taking the R2,χ2and RMSE as the evaluation indexes,the optimum model was screened by fitting the drying curves data with four selected models.
