The apiosyltransferase celery UGT94AX1 catalyzes the biosynthesis of the flavone glycoside apiin. [PDF]
Plant Physiol, 2023 Abstract Apiose is a unique branched-chain pentose found in plant glycosides and a key component of the cell wall polysaccharide pectin and other specialized metabolites. More than 1,200 plant-specialized metabolites contain apiose residues, represented by apiin, a distinctive flavone glycoside found in celery (Apium graveolens) and ...

Biochemical Characterization of Parsley Glycosyltransferases Involved in the Biosynthesis of a Flavonoid Glycoside, Apiin. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 The flavonoid glycoside apiin (apigenin 7-O-[β-D-apiosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucoside]) is abundant in apiaceous and asteraceous plants, including celery and parsley. Although several enzymes involved in apiin biosynthesis have been identified in celery, many of the enzymes in parsley (Petroselinum crispum) have not been identified. In this study, we identified

The Healing Power of Clean Rivers: In Silico Evaluation of the Antipsoriatic Potential of Apiin and Hyperoside Plant Metabolites Contained in River Waters. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 Humanity may benefit greatly from intact riverine ecosystems not only because they supply water to be used in the most common human activities, but also for the effects that clean rivers can have on human health. Herein, we used a computational approach to show that some phytochemicals produced by riparian plants as secondary metabolites, which are ...

Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analyses reveals the mechanisms of function loss of Lr29 leaf rust resistance gene at high temperatures in wheat [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceLeaf rust (LR) is one of the most common diseases of wheat. The resistance gene Lr29 provides wide resistance to LR, but loses its function under high temperatures. Despite the importance of this gene, the mechanism of resistance is unclear.

Apiin-induction of β-apiosidase production by Aspergillus sp. strains [PDF]
Acta Chimica Slovaca, 2020 Abstract β-Apiosidase is a rare glycosidase applied in winemaking for flavour enhancement. This enzyme is involved in the release of volatile terpenes by hydrolysis of their odourless glycosidic precursors. It is found as a minor component in commercial pectinase/cellulase preparations.
