Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.

Engineering 2‐Pyrone‐4,6‐Dicarboxylic Acid Production Reveals Metabolic Plasticity of Poplar

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Woody biomass is a promising source of fermentable sugars for biofuels and bio‐based chemicals, but its industrial use is limited by the costly biorefinery process. A viable strategy to reduce costs involves enhancing both biomass processability and the generation of high‐value co‐products.

Jasmonate‐Activated AaWRKY9–AabHLH93/AabHLH93–AaMYB7 Complexes Balance Artemisinin Biosynthesis in Artemisia annua

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artemisinin, an antimalarial sesquiterpene lactone, is biosynthesized in glandular trichomes of Artemisia annua. Although numerous transcription factors have been demonstrated to regulate artemisinin biosynthesis, the molecular mechanisms underlying the high expression of artemisinin‐associated biosynthetic enzyme and transcription factor ...

Mathematical modelling of ethanol metabolism in normal subjects and chronic alcohol misusers [PDF]

, 1993
The time course of ethanol disappearance from the blood has been examined in normal males and females and in alcohol misusers. Blood alcohol estimations were made over a period of 3 hr, following an oral dose of ethanol (0.8 g/kg body weight ...

Reducing the Sinapine Levels of Camelina sativa Seeds Through Targeted Genome Editing of REF1

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sinapine (O‐sinapoyl choline) is the major phenolic metabolite typically found in the oil‐rich seeds of Brassicaceae such as Camelina sativa and Brassica napus. It imparts a bitter taste to the seeds as a defence mechanism against herbivores, but it also renders them less palatable to livestock.

Transcriptional regulation of the human ALDH1A1 promoter by the oncogenic homeoprotein TLX1/HOX11 [PDF]

, 2009
The homeoprotein TLX1, which is essential to spleen organogenesis and oncogenic when aberrantly expressed in immature T cells, functions as a bifunctional transcriptional regulator, being capable of activation or repression depending on cell type and/or ...

Genome and Single‐Cell Transcriptome Reveal the Evolution of Holoparasitic Plants: A Case Study of Cistanche deserticola

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...

An α/β‐Hydrolase GmABHD6 Controls Seed Oil Content and Yield in Soybean

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed oil content is a key trait in soybean, yet its genetic basis remains largely unresolved. Here, we identify GmABHD6, an α/β‐hydrolase domain‐containing gene, as the causal gene underlying a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for seed oil content on chromosome 16.

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.
