Mechanism of Substrate Specificity and Catalysis in Retaining β-Glucosidases From Maize and Sorghum
… DIMBOAGlc, while the sorghum β-glucosidase Dhr1 (dhurrinase-1) hydrolyzes exclusively its natural substrate dhurrin. For the expression of mature β-glucosidase isozymes Glu1 and Glu2 of maize and Dhr1 of sorghum, complementary DNAs were amplified by PCR and cloned into the expression vector …

THE ROLE OF MICROBIAL ENDOSYMBIONTS IN SORGHUM HALEPENSE INVASIONS: EVIDENCE OF A NEW INVASION STRATEGY, MICROBIALLY ENHANCED COMPETITIVE ABILITY (MECA)
… production of the herbivore-defense compound, dhurrin, contained in leaves. When leaves from plants with bacterial endosymbionts were fed to a generalist insect herbivore (<i>Tricoplusia ni</i>), the insect could not grow and experienced significant mortality. Restricting bacterial growth …

Maize β-glucosidase substrate specificity and natural substrates
… inhibitors were D-gluconic acid lactone, dhurrin, and 2,4- dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1, 4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DIMBOA) (K<sub>i</sub>'s< 1 mM). The enzyme had broad substrate specificity and could cleave many glycosides with hydrophobic aglycones. One major substrate, the hydroxamic acid …

In defence of flowers: The ecology and biochemistry of a chemical defence, cyanogenesis, in Proteaceae
As sessile organisms, plants produce a remarkable diversity of chemicals to defend their tissues against herbivory. The large body of research into plant defences has primarily focused on plant-herbivore interactions and foliar defences, whereas floral chemical defences have received little …
