Abstract
In higher and lower plants, polyamines regulate cell division and differentiation, dormancy-break and senescence, homeostatic adjustments in response to external stimuli and stresses; more recently, their involvement in allergy has also been reported. Polyamines are present in free and bound form and their effects in plants have been studied by several authors although their mechanism of action is only partially known. This paper gives an overview of bound polyamines and specifically proteinconjugated polyamines via the action of transglutaminase and provides some insights into the molecular mechanisms by which polyamines exert some of their action.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
