Betalains (betacyanins and betaxanthins), the main pigments of red beet (Beta vulgaris)
roots, showed an antiradical effect when measured by the destruction of the 2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐…

Total soluble phenols, soluble flavanols, (+)‐catechin, ferulic acid and 1‐O‐feruloyl‐β‐d‐glucose
were analyzed during the development of a strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa, cv. …

Capsaicin (8-methyl-JV-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) oxidation by peroxidase (EC 1.11. 1.7) from
Capsicum annuum var. annuum fruits is studied. Capsaicin (Sigma) contains two …

Suspension cell cultures of grapevine (Vitis vinifera, cv. Monastrell) treated with an elicitor (cellulase,
Onozuka R‐10) from Trichoderma viride showed a hypersensitive‐like response. …

Cell wall fragments, isolated from dark‐grown Lupinus albus L. (cv. multolupa) hypocotyls,
and purified by washing with Triton X‐100, did not show detectable contamination by enzyme …

Two species of Brassica were used to study their acclimation to heat and high illumination
during the first stages of development. One, Brassica fruticulosa, is a wild species from south‐…

Sun (Chrysanthemum morifolium) and shade (Spathiphyllum wallisii) plants were used to
study the effects of drought, heat and high illumination. The stress conditions caused a greater …

Calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals in plants may serve as a sink for the absorption of excess
calcium, and they could play an important role in heavy metal detoxification. In this study, the …

A zymographic screening of peroxidases (EC 1.11.1.7) capable of oxidizing 4-hydroxystilbene
was carried out by means of the peroxidase-catalyzed oxidative coupling of 4-…

Oxidation of dihydrocapsaicin (8‐methyl‐N‐vanillyl‐6‐nonanamide) by peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7)
from Capsicum annuum var. annuum fruits yielded one absorbent oxidation product …
