Effects of Benzoquinones on Radicles of Orobanche and Phelipanche Species [PDF]
Plants, 2021 The holoparasitic broomrape weeds (Orobanche and Phelipanche species) cause severe yield losses throughout North Africa, the Middle East, and Southern and Eastern Europe. These parasitic weeds form an haustorium at the tip of their radicles to infect the

Formation of 2,6-DMBQ in anthocyanin-rich foods
LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2020 Abstract The naturally occurring 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone (DMBQ) has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-cancer activities. As it is probably formed in plants via oxidative degradation of the anthocyanin malvidin and its glycosides, a targeted analysis of the DMBQ concentration of different wines and grape juices was performed.

6-Hydroxynicotinic Acid From Cucumis melo Inhibits Prehaustorium Formation in Phelipanche aegyptiaca via Disruption of Auxin Signalling Pathway. [PDF]
Mol Plant Pathol6‐hydroxynicotinic acid inhibits prehaustorium development in Phelipanche aegyptiaca by inhibiting GH3‐mediated auxin conjugation, downregulating key auxin‐responsive genes, and impairing the auxin transporter AUX1. ABSTRACT Phelipanche aegyptiaca, a root holoparasitic weed, severely threatens agricultural productivity due to its detrimental effects ...

Differences in photosystem II activity and carbon allocation during photomixotrophic growth in distinct wild-type strains of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. [PDF]
Plant JSUMMARY The regulation of photosynthetic electron transport during photomixotrophic growth in cyanobacteria remains incompletely understood. In this study, we characterized four wild‐type strains (WT 1–4) of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and observed distinct strain‐specific differences in photosystem II (PSII) function under photomixotrophic conditions ...
