In a previous paper, we reported a simple bioassay method for photosynthesis accelerators using wheat protoplasts and an oxygen electrode. With this bioassay method, choline chloride and its analogues were revealed to be photosynthesis accelerators.1} In this paper, we report the photosynthesis acceleration due to TVsubstituted glycine analogues in wheat protoplasts. Wheat {Triticum aestivum: Nourin No. 61) seedlings were grown in Vermiculite for 9 to 12 days in a naturallight Phytotron, which was kept at 25/20°C (day/night). Mesophyll protoplasts were isolated enzymatically by the method of Edwards et al.2) using a combination of cellulase (Onozuka R-10) and pectinase (Macerozyme R-10) purchased from Yakult Biochemical Co., Ltd. The Nsubstituted glycine analogues were synthesized by the method of Kirino et al.3) at the Biochemical Research
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
