Disease relevance of Lettuce

  • Therefore, the DNA fragment encoding hepatitis B virus surface antigen was introduced into Agrobacterium tumerifacience LBA4404 and used to obtain transgenic lupin (Lupinus luteus L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cv. Burpee Bibb expressing envelope surface protein [1].
  • A Lactuca sativa cv. Ardente line heterozygous for a gene encoding resistance to kanamycin, a positive and dominant trait, was crossed with cv. Girelle, which is heterozygous for a recessive albinism marker [2].
 

High impact information on Lettuce

 

Biological context of Lettuce

 

Anatomical context of Lettuce

  • Isolation, molecular properties and kinetic studies of a strict beta-fucosidase from Lactuca sativa latex. Its possible role in the cell-wall degradation of articulated laticifers [11].
  • A kinetic study of the diphenolase activity of latent polyphenol oxidase (PPO), purified from Iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa L), revealed a sigmoid relationship between the reaction rate and the substrate concentration with a high Hill coefficient (n(H) = 3.8) [12].
 

Associations of Lettuce with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Lettuce

  • Hydroponic experiments were carried out with young lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa L.) to compare responses to either an interruption in external N supply or the imposition of different relative N addition rate (RAR) treatments [18].
  • Reproduction of Enchytraeus sp. was the most sensitive and seed germination of Lactuca sativa the least sensitive and the other tests were in decreasing order of sensitivity: Folsomia candida>reverse electron transport>MetPLATE>Toxichromotest>Allium cepa root growth>Lemna sp. growth [19].
  • Effect of acute ingestion of fresh and stored lettuce (Lactuca sativa) on plasma total antioxidant capacity and antioxidant levels in human subjects [20].
  • A high level of genomic variability was detected by the TPI clone; 37 different restriction fragments were detected in Southern hybridizations to 64 populations of lettuce including 47 cultivars of Lactuca sativa and five wild species [21].
  • In the pot experiment, Se (Se4+) and Zn (Zn2+) were applied, respectively, to the soil, in which the Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) and the lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) were planted [22].
