Disease relevance of Lilium

• The deduced protein sequence of DLH1 contains 74% amino acid identity with Dmc1p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and 63% with Lim15p from the plant Lilium longiflorum, meiosis-specific homologues of Escherichia coli RecA [1].
• The production of methionine by submerged fermentation using a mutant strain of Corynebacterium lilium was studied to determine suitable conditions for obtaining high productivity [2].

High impact information on Lilium

• In this study, we identified a novel protein, designated GCS1 (GENERATIVE CELL SPECIFIC 1), using generative cells isolated from Lilium longiflorum pollen [3].
• LMADS1, a lily (Lilium longiflorum) AP3 orthologue, contains the complete consensus sequence of the paleoAP3 (YGSHDLRLA) and PI-derived (YEFRVQPSQPNLH) motifs in the C-terminal region of the protein [4].
• 1L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase from pollen of Lilium longiflorum. An ordered sequential mechanism [5].
• Experiments with D-glucose-6-P stereospecifically tritiated at C-6 showed that the myo-inositol-1 P synthase reaction catalyzed by both the enzyme from beef testis and from pollen of Lilium longiflorum proceeds with stereospecific loss of the pro-6R and incorporation of the pro-6S hydrogen into the product [6].
• Monoclonal antibodies to plant clathrin HC confirmed that coated vesicles are relatively abundant in tip-growing pollen tubes of Lilium longiflorum [7].

Biological context of Lilium

• A 14-3-3 protein has been cloned and sequenced from a cDNA library constructed from mRNAs of mature pollen grains of Lilium longiflorum Thunb [8].
• Lily MADS box gene 1 (LMADS1), with sequence homology to the AP3 family of genes, was cloned and characterized from lily (Lilium longiflorum) [9].
• To investigate the progression of the cell cycle during pollen development, two clones of histone H3 genes, YAH3 and MPH3, were isolated from cDNA libraries of young anthers and mature pollen of Lilium longiflorum [10].
• Introgression of Lilium rubellum Baker chromosomes into L. longiflorum Thunb.: a genome painting study of the F1 hybrid, BC1 and BC2 progenies [11].
• When the intron c and the exon 4 were independently analyzed, they showed distinct topologies involving the bat species Sturnira lilium, different from the traditional bat phylogeny [12].

Anatomical context of Lilium

• By using Western blotting, immunofluorescence and immunogold labeling, a novel alpha-actinin-like protein was found in pollen and pollen tubes of Lilium davidii, a model system for cytoskeleton and Golgi apparatus study of plant [13].
• Fibrillar chromoplasts in tepals of Lilium croceum are able to synthesize starch in vitro, not, however, from glucose but from glucose-1-phosphate [14].

Associations of Lilium with chemical compounds

• Nucleic acid synthesis in microsporocytes of Lilium cv. cinnabar: events in the nucleus [15].
• LLA23, an abscisic acid-, stress-, and ripening-induced protein, was previously isolated from lily (Lilium longiflorum) pollen [16].
• Of the two types of B proteins from the monocot Lilium regale, the GLO-like protein is still able to homodimerize, whereas the DEF-like protein binds to DNA only as a heterodimeric complex with the GLO-like protein [17].
• We found that significant amounts of 21-kDa polypeptide were specifically released into the extracellular medium when pollen grains of lily, Lilium longiflorum Thunb., were incubated in the presence of EGTA or at low concentrations of Ca2+ [18].
• Organochlorine compounds from a terrestrial higher plant: structures and origin of chlorinated orcinol derivatives from diseased bulbs of Lilium maximowiczii [19].

Gene context of Lilium

• The distribution patterns of plant PCNA and FEN-1 in meiotic cell progression were investigated using microsporocytes of lily (Lilium longiflorum cv. Hinomoto) [20].
• Two AGL2-like MADS-box genes, Lily MADS Box Gene (LMADS) 3 and LMADS4, with extensive homology of LMADS3 to the Arabidopsis SEPALLATA3 were characterized from the lily (Lilium longiflorum) [21].
• The previous discovery in Lilium longiflorum of a homolog of human ERCC1 protein that comprises the second subunit of the repair endonuclease provides additional evidence for the existence of the repair endonuclease in plants [22].
• The predicted amino acid sequence showed 72-78% similarity to those of Lim15 from Lilium and other meiosis-specific RecA-like proteins [23].
• We have extended these studies by using human VN riboprobes to detect VN-like mRNAs in lily (Lilium longiflorum L.) and soybean [24].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Lilium

• We investigated the effect of brefeldin A on membrane trafficking and the actin cytoskeleton of pollen tubes of Lilium longiflorum with fluorescent dyes, inhibitor experiments, and confocal laser scanning microscopy [25].
• In situ hybridization of Lilium whole mount synaptonemal complex chromosomal preparations [26].
