Functional Characterization of a Hydroxyacid/Alcohol Hydroxycinnamoyl Transferase Produced by the Liverwort Marchantia emarginata

Molecules, 2017
The aerial organs of most terrestrial plants are covered by a hydrophobic protective cuticle. The main constituent of the cuticle is the lipid polyester cutin, which is composed of aliphatic and aromatic domains.

Phenolic compounds in species of the Blechnaceae

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 282-291, January 2026.
The occurrence of caffeic acid derivatives in 32 species of Blechnaceae revealed differences in the presence of rosmarinic acid and blechnic acid B, a novel compound in ferns. Abstract Rosmarinic acid and other caffeic and 4‐coumaric acid derivatives are widespread in land plants.

De Novo Transcriptomic Profiling of Piper chaba: Elucidating the Genetic Basis of Piperine Biosynthesis and Metabolic Pathways

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Medicinal plants serve as invaluable sources of bioactive compounds, yet the molecular basis of their secondary metabolite biosynthesis remains largely unexplored. Piper chaba Hunter, an important but understudied member of the Piperaceae family, is known for its pharmacologically active alkaloids, particularly piperine.

Cooperation between a root fungal endophyte and host‐derived coumarin scopoletin mediates Arabidopsis iron nutrition

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 857-871, October 2025.
Summary Iron acquisition is a critical challenge for plants, especially in iron‐deficient soils. Recent research underscores the importance of root‐exuded coumarins in modulating the root microbiome community structure and facilitating iron uptake. However, interactions between root‐associated fungi and coumarins in plant iron nutrition remain unknown.

Inheritance and enzymatic basis of anthocyanin malonylation in Fragaria × ananassa

The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 2, October 2025.
Significance Statement Fruits from various cultivars of the cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) exhibit significant variation in the levels of malonylated anthocyanins, which is attributed to the differential expression of malonyltransferase genes, whose products demonstrate acceptor substrate promiscuity.

Genomic dissection of yield components in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using genome‐wide association study and identification of novel genetic factors for yield‐related traits

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Genome‐wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful method for understanding the associations between phenotype and genomic variations. Given the growing population, increasing yield of rice as a staple food crop is important. Here, a GWAS with 33,839 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was carried out to define genomic regions influencing ...
