High impact information on Asparagus Plant

Phytosulfokine-alpha (PSK-alpha), a unique plant peptide growth factor, was originally isolated from conditioned medium of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) mesophyll cell cultures [1].
The signals controlling the abundance of transcripts up-regulated (pTIP27, pTIP31, and pTIP32) or down-regulated (pTIP20 and pTIP21) after harvest in asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) spears were examined. pTIP27 and pTIP31 are known to encode asparagine synthetase (AS) and a beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) homolog, respectively [2].
Ribosome-inactivating proteins from the seeds of Saponaria officinalis L. (soapwort), of Agrostemma githago L. (corn cockle) and of Asparagus officinalis L. (asparagus), and from the latex of Hura crepitans L. (sandbox tree) [3].
Mannose treatment of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) cells and spinach (Spinacia oleracea) protoplasts results in the inhibition of photosynthesis [4].
We report for the first time that an enzyme preparation from fungal-elicited Asparagus officinalis cultured cells catalyses the formation of a norlignan, (Z)-hinokiresinol, from two non-identical phenylpropanoid monomers, 4-coumaryl alcohol and 4-coumaroyl CoA, and from a dimer, 4-coumaryl 4-coumarate, without any additional cofactors [5].

Associations of Asparagus Plant with chemical compounds

Sucrose incubation increases freezing tolerance of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) embryogenic cell suspensions [6].
Degradation of malathion, in aqueous extracts of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) [7].
Carotenoid composition in the fruits of Asparagus officinalis [8].
Influence of vegetative cycle of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) on copper, iron, zinc and manganese content [9].
The metabolism of L-asparagine in Asparagus officinalis [10].

Gene context of Asparagus Plant

Constituents of Asparagus officinalis evaluated for inhibitory activity against cyclooxygenase-2 [11].
Isolation and characterization of a cDNA clone for a harvest-induced asparagine synthetase from Asparagus officinalis L [12].
GmRPS6 (925 bp) encodes a 28.1 kDa protein which has 94% identity with the 40S ribosomal protein S6 of Asparagus officinalis (AJ277533) [13].
