Abstract: Electrophoretic separations of soluble proteins extracted from crown-gall tumors, normal calli, and leavesof Nicotiana plumbaginifolia were performed in order to detect pathogenic changes caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation. These analyses showed the appearance of new low-molecular polypeptides both in crown-gall tumors and in normal calli. The SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as well as the gel electrophoresis in non-denaturing conditions were used to characterize their properties. At least some of them corresponded to the pathogenesis-related proteins reported in N. tabacum. Isoenzyme patterns of peroxidases and esterases also revealed a higher number and a deeper staining density of isoenzyrnes in crown-gall clones and normal calli compared with leaves, thus indicating an increased activity of enzymes in thesein vitro cultivated tissues. |
