Disease relevance of Secale cereale

• In winter rye (Secale cereale), antifreeze proteins accumulate in response to cold, short daylength, dehydration and ethylene, but not pathogens [1].
• Aluminium (Al) toxicity in rye (Secale cereale L.), an Al-resistant crop, was examined by measuring root elongation and cytoplasmic free activity of calcium ([Ca2+]cyt) in intact root apical cells [2].
• Cultivated rye allergens (g12) can cause allergic sensitization in susceptible individuals [3].

• Linkage analysis in Czech atopic families revealed suggestive linkage to plant allergens at 5q33 (D5S1507), highest linkage being observed to cultivated rye-specific IgE [3]

High impact information on Secale cereale

• In protoplasts isolated from nonacclimated rye leaves (Secale cereale L. cultivar Puma), cooling to -- 10 degrees C at a rate of 1 degrees C/min results in extensive freeze-induced dehydration (osmotic contraction), and injury is manifested as the loss of osmotic responsiveness during warming [4].
• In both unpretreated root tip metaphases and pretreated mitoses of Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Sultan x Secale africanum Stapf F1 hybrids, Hordeum chromosomes tended to be nearer the centre of the mitosis than Secale chromosomes [5].
• In this study, the secretion pattern and alteration in the metabolism of organic acids under Al stress were examined in rye (Secale cereale L. cv King) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Atlas 66) [6].
• Comparison of ethanol-soluble proteins from different rye (Secale cereale) varieties by two-dimensional electrophoresis [7].
• During the development of disomic additions of rye (Secale cereale L.) chromosomes to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), two reverse tandem duplications on wheat chromosomes 3D and 4A were isolated [8].

Biological context of Secale cereale

• Changes in gene expression during dehardening of cold-hardened winter rye (Secale cereale L.) leaves and potential role of a peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase in cold-acclimation [9].
• PCR amplification using degenerate primers to conserved motifs of the predicted LINE protein sequence enabled the cloning of LINEs from both Monocotyledonae (Allium cepa, Oryza sativa and Secale cereale) and Dicotyledonae (Nicotiana tabacum and Antirrhinum majus) indicating that LINEs are a universal feature of plant genomes [10].
• Comparative analysis of a recombining-repeat-sequence family in the mitochondrial genomes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and rye (Secale cereale L.) [11].
• The contents of pnenolic acids and ferulic acid dehydrodimers were quantified by HPLC analysis after alkaline hydrolysis in kernels of 17 rye (Secale cereale L.) varieties grown in one location in Denmark during 1997 and 1998 [12].
• Sequences similar to R10hvcop were also found in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), and oat (Avena sativa L.) with copy numbers of 8 x 10(4), 1.39 x 10(5), and 7.9 x 10(4) per haploid genome, respectively [13].

Associations of Secale cereale with chemical compounds

• The regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in rye (Secale cereale) roots. Stimulation of the nucleotide pathway by low temperature [14].
• The incorporation of [14C]choline chloride and [14C]glycerol into segments taken from rye (Secale cereale L., cv. Rheidal) roots was greater in segments from roots grown at 5 degrees C than in segments taken from roots growing at 20 degrees C. The incorporation was measured at the temperature at which the root had been growing [14].
• Microdissection and microcloning of rye (Secale cereale L.) chromosome 1R [15].
• Among eight graminaceous species tested, Ids3 expression was observed only in Fe-deficient roots of H. vulgare and Secale cereale. which not only secrete 2'-deoxymugineic acid (DMA), but also mugineic acid (MA) and 3-epihydroxymugineic acid (epiHMA, H. vulgare), and 3-hydroxymugineic acid (HMA, S. cereale) [16].
• In cold-hardened leaves (CHL) of winter rye (Secale cereale L.) much higher levels of malate were detected by (13)C-NMR than in non-hardened leaves (NHL) [17].

Gene context of Secale cereale

• Purification, biochemical characterisation and partial primary structure of a new alpha-amylase inhibitor from Secale cereale (rye) [18].
• Increased capacity for synthesis of the D1 protein and of catalase at low temperature in leaves of cold-hardened winter rye (Secale cereale L.) [19].
• The ability of the program POY, implementing optimization alignment, to deal with major indels is explored and discussed in connection with a phylogenetic analysis of the genus Secale based on partial Adh1 sequences [20].
• Antioxidant effects of phenolic rye (Secale cereale L.) extracts, monomeric hydroxycinnamates, and ferulic acid dehydrodimers on human low-density lipoproteins [21].
• The novel application of scanning electron microscopy to study whole-mount surface-spread synaptonemal complex complements of rye (Secale cereale) and rat (Rattus norvegicus) is described [22].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Secale cereale

• Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of shoot proteins was used to study the relationships between Triticum, Secale, and Hordeum [23].
• Glycerate kinase was partially purified from Secale (rye, 288-fold) and Pisum (pea, 252-fold) chloroplasts by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, sucrose gradient centrifugation, and chromatofocusing [24].
• Three chitinases, designated RSC-a, -b, and -c, were purified from the seeds of rye (Secale cereal) using ammonium sulfate precipitation, CM-cellulose column chromatography, gel filtration on Sephadex G-75, and S-Sepharose column chromatography [25].
• Mab 1B9 was demonstrated by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting to recognise a major allergen of an approximate molecular weight of 28 kD in this extract, termed DG3, and a component with a molecular weight of between 35 and 40 kD in an extract of Secale cereale (cultivated rye) pollen [26].
