What's the difference between jamaicine and leguminous?
Jamaicine
Definition:
(n.) An alkaloid said to be contained in the bark of Geoffroya inermis, a leguminous tree growing in Jamaica and Surinam; -- called also jamacina.
Example Sentences:
Leguminous
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to pulse; consisting of pulse.
(a.) Belonging to, or resembling, a very large natural order of plants (Leguminosae), which bear legumes, including peas, beans, clover, locust trees, acacias, and mimosas.
Example Sentences:
(1) Legumin was detected only in the seed of tobacco where the primary translation products were processed in a manner analogous to that which occurs in pea.
(2) It hydrolyses native vetch legumin and vicilin up to peptides having on average 9 and 16 amino acid residues respectively.
(3) Two plant introns along with flanking exon sequences have been isolated from an amylase gene of wheat and a legumin gene of pea and cloned behind the phage SP6 promoter.
(4) In the healthy group the insulin response was significantly lower after the leguminous meal than after the control meal (P less than 0.05) whilst the diabetic group showed lower insulin responses after all the high-fibre test meals.
(5) This communication is concerned with physiological, biochemical, and genetic studies of the regulation of ammonium (NH4+) assimilation by Rhizobia (root nodule bacteria) that infect leguminous plants.
(6) To this end, both copies of the alpha' subunit promoter legumin boxes were mutagenized in vitro.
(7) The root nodules of leguminous plants contain an oxygen-carrying protein which is somewhat similar to myoglobin.
(8) Most of that undigested fraction was smaller than the native legumin: 40 to 200 kDa instead of 360 kDa.
(9) But relatively little attention has been paid to lectins from non-leguminous foods.
(10) Our results show that the legumin boxes act together to increase transcription of the beta-conglycinin alpha' subunit gene by about a factor of ten.
(11) This study investigated the effect of prolonged ingestion of Leucaena leucocephala, a leguminous shrub with a potential as a source of animal feed in Southern Taiwan, by heifers on serum thyroid hormone levels.
(12) We conclude that legumin contains multiple targeting information, probably formed by higher structures of relatively long peptide sequences.
(13) Three test meals containing different types of dietary fibre in realistic amounts (cereal, leguminous and mixed-fibre), and one control meal were prepared.
(14) Translation of total poly(A)-containing RNA, free and membrane-bound polysomes in a cell-free wheat germs demonstrates that the globulins are preferentially produced on membrane-bound polysomes and that poly(A)-containing RNA includes the mRNA for both vicilin and legumin.
(15) With amino-terminal legumin-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase fusions expressed in tobacco seeds, efficient vacuolar targeting was obtained only with the complete alpha chain.
(16) The results constitute the first demonstration in vitro of DOCS activity which, in G. echinata cells and other leguminous plants, is involved in the biosynthesis of retrochalcone and 5-deoxyisoflavonoid-derived phytoalexins.
(17) Seed protein concentrates (SPC) were extracted from 4 leguminous species and the extractabilities of total N (nitrogen), protein N and SPC determined.
(18) The 5' flanking sequence of gene LegJ contains a sequence conserved in legumin genes from pea and other species, which is likely to have functional significance in control of gene expression.
(19) The presence of legumin-like constituents within the globulin fractions of wheat (Triticum aestivum), rye (Secale cereale) and corn (maize, Zea mays) was demonstrated.
(20) The increase does not occur if the cereal fiber is replaced by lentil-derived leguminous fiber.
