Abstract excerpt
In order to obtain plant markers of chemical stress and possible tools for the bio-monitoring of pollution, a protein purification/PCR approach was used to isolate cDNAs of xenobiotic-inducible P450 oxygenases. O-dealkylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin is catalysed in Helianthus tuberosus by cytochromes P450 strongly inducible by a wide range of xenobiotics. Therefore, a 7-ethoxycoumarin O-de-ethylase (ECOD) was...
