Aα 16 Arg→His substitutions are common forms of congenital dysfibrinogenemias. Clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic to moderate hemorrhagic tendencies. Biochemical characterization of one such heterozygotic individual (Fibrinogen Louisville, Galanakis, etal. Ann NY Acad Sci 408:644,1983) indicated that only homodimeric fibrinogen molecules (i.e., containing either normal or abnormal Aα chains) were present. We isolated fibrinogen from the plasma of a 23 year old patient with a history of easy bruising and several recent moderate to severe bleeding episodes. Coagulability with reptilase was 677 (65-70%; n=5) whereas with thrombin (Ha) it approached 100%, depending directly upon the time of incubation with enzyme. HPLC analysis of Ila-induced fibrinopeptide release demonstrated the presence of an abnormal A-peptide (A*), amounting to 50% of the total, which was released more slowly than the normal A-peptide (A). Amino acid analysis of A* demonstrated the absence of Arg and the presence of His. Carboxypeptidase digestion confirmed the structure of A* as Aα 16 Arg-→ His. The clot and the soluble clot liquor resulting from reptilase treatment were separated and each was then further treated with Ilato release A*. HPLC analysis indicated that 31% of the total A* present in the sample was associated with the reptilase clot and 697 remained in the clot liquor. This distribution of A* suggests that Fibrinogen Birmingham, unlike Fibrinogen Louisville, contains heterodimeric molecules that are incorporated into the reptilase clottable fraction. This finding is consistent with a process of random hepatic assembly of dimeric fibrinogen molecules in a heterozygotic individual.

Spinach grown in Texas developed “yellow spotting” on the peripheral portions of the leaves. The exact cause of the discoloration could not be determined as there was no evidence of viral or parasitic infestation of the plants and biochemical characterization of the plants did not indicate any significant differences between the yellow and green leaf portions of the spinach. The present study was undertaken using electron microscopy (EM) to determine if a micro-nutrient deficiency was the cause for the discoloration.Green leaf spinach was collected from the field and sent by express mail to the EM laboratory. The yellow and equivalent green portions of the leaves were isolated and dried in a Denton evaporator at 10-5 Torr for 24 hrs. The leaf specimens were then examined using a JEOL 100 CX analytical microscope. TEM specimens were prepared according to the methods of Trump et al.

SauvignonBlanc wine grape was characterized for their various morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters grafted on different rootstocks. Significant differences were recorded for all the parameters studied. The studies on vegetative parameters revealed that the rootstock influences the vegetative growth thereby increasing the photosynthetic activities of a vine. The highest photosynthesis rate was recorded in 140-Ru grafted vine followed by Fercal whereas the lowest in Salt Creek rootstock grafted vines.The rootstock influenced the changes in biochemical constituents in the grafted vine thereby helping the plant to store enough food material. Significant differences were recorded for total carbohydrates, proteins, total phenols and reducing sugar. The vines grafted on1103-Pshowed highest carbohydrates and starch followed by 140-Ru,while the least amount of carbohydrates were recorded in 110-R and Salt Creek grafted vines respectively.Among the different rootstock graft combinations, Fercal showed highest amount of reducing sugar, proteins and phenols, followed by 1103-P and SO4, however, the lowest amount of reducing sugar, proteins and phenols were recorded with 110-R grafted vines.The vines grafted on different rootstocks showed changes in nutrient uptake. Considering this, the physico-biochemical characterization of grafted vine may help to identify particularrootstocks combination that could influence a desired trait in commercial wine grape varieties after grafting.
