The influence of silistrong on the activity of erythrocyte cytoplasmatic dehydrogenases and also purified glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPH) was studied. Silistrong and its biologically active components (ethanol and silimarine) were found to activate GAPDH, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) both in lysates of erythrocytes and in isolated GAPDH. The compounds studied are able to protect these enzymes and also to restore their activity of enzymes modified by hydrogen peroxide. Maximal activity is a characteristic of silistrong.

Symbiosis between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plants plays a crucial role in nutrient acquisition and stress resistance for terrestrial plants. microRNAs have been reported to participate in the regulation of mycorrhizal symbiosis by controlling the expression of their target genes. Herein, we found that sly-miR408b was significantly downregulated in response to mycorrhizal colonisation.

Nitrogen Assimilation Plays a Role in Balancing the Chloroplastic Glutathione Redox Potential Under High Light Conditions.

Plant Cell Environ

January 2025

The Robert H. Smith Institute of Plant Sciences and Genetics in Agriculture, The Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Rehovot, Israel.

Nitrate reduction requires reducing equivalents produced by the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Therefore, it has been suggested that nitrate assimilation provides a sink for electrons under high light conditions. We tested this hypothesis by monitoring photosynthetic efficiency and the chloroplastic glutathione redox potential (chl-E) of plant lines with mutated glutamine synthetase 2 (GS2) and ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase 1 (GOGAT1).
