Most textbooks that deal with biochemistry, molecular biology or cell biology either ignore polyamines completely or provide a highly abbreviated and frequently incorrect mention. This is a most-unfortunate lapse because polyamines are ubiquitous cellular components that play critical roles in many aspects of cellular physiology, including cell Cited by: 1.
Histamine, discovered in by the British physiologist Sir Henry H. Dale, has become one of the most important biogenic amines in medicine and biology. In addition to the three well-known functions such as the contraction of smooth muscles, the increase in vascular permeability, and the stimulation of gastric acid secretion, histamine has been known to play various roles in. In plants, polyamines, some of which are presented as a conjugated form with cinnamic acids and proteins, are involved in a variety of physiological processes. In recent years, the study of plant polyamines, such as their biosynthetic and catabolic pathways and the roles they play in cellular processes, has flourished, becoming an exciting.

Polyamines are organic cations found in all eukaryotic cells and intimately involved in, and required for, distinct biological functions. An increasing body of evidence indicates that the regulation of cellular polyamines is a central convergence point for the multiple signaling pathways driving various cellular functions.
Over the last decade, considerable progress has been made in und. Several chapters are devoted to the role of polyamines in various aspects of plant biology, with a special emphasis on their participation in the response of plants to extreme environments.
Special attention is given to the use of inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis as potential antitumor and antiproliferative agents. Biochemistry and Physiology of Polyamines in Plants provides a comprehensive introduction to commonly used methods in polyamine research and the problems unique to plant studies.
Topics discussed include polyamine metabolism in plants, the functions of polyamines in plant growth and development, an. Polyamines in Fungi: Their Distribution, Metabolism, and Role in Cell Differentiation and Morphogenesis provides a complete overview of its topic.
It is the first and only book to describe and analyze the roles of polyamines in fungi and compare them with the roles of polyamines in higher eukaryotes. Get this from a library.

Polyamine biosynthesis. Polyamines are small, naturally occurring, polycationic alkylamines that are essential for normal cell growth and development in eukaryotes (Refs 1, 2).Both their charge distribution and flexibility allow polyamines to bind to various anionic macromolecules including DNA, RNA, proteins, and acidic phospholipids (Refs 3, 4).The vital importance of polyamines for normal Cited by: Polyamine Protocols is the only compilation of methods currently available for use in studies involving polyamines.
