Deciphering the Toxicity Effects of 5′-Methylthioadenosine Accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-29)Metabolic constraints imposed by extreme environmental fluctuations are an inescapable reality for sessile organisms such as plants. To survive, they finely tune their metabolic activity to adapt their growth to the ... -
Exploring the effect of Spd on early vascular and reproductive development in methylthioadenosine nucleosidase deficient plant embryos
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-24)Polyamines (PA) are associated with many critical developmental processes, but their mode of action is not known. Biosynthesis of polyamines, ethylene and nicotianamine produce 5’-methylthioadenosine (MTA) as a by-product. ... -
Investigating the Impact of 5′-Methylthioadenosine Accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-08)Some reactions which use the activated form of methionine (Met), S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), as a substrate produce the by-product methylthioadenosine (MTA). In the plant Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), these reactions ...
