Identification and analysis of the paulomycin biosynthetic gene cluster and titer improvement of the paulomycins in Streptomyces paulus NRRL 8115. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The paulomycins are a group of glycosylated compounds featuring a unique paulic acid moiety. To locate their biosynthetic gene clusters, the genomes of two paulomycin producers, Streptomyces paulus NRRL 8115 and Streptomyces sp. YN86, were sequenced. The

Identification and expression analysis of strigolactone biosynthetic and signaling genes reveal strigolactones are involved in fruit development of the woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca)

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background The development and ripening of fresh fruits is an important trait for agricultural production and fundamental research. Almost all plant hormones participate in this process.

Characterization of the promoter region of biosynthetic enzyme genes involved in berberine biosynthesis in Coptis japonica

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The presence of alkaloids is rather specific to certain plant species. However, berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid, is relatively broadly distributed in the plant kingdom.

Characterization and Biosynthetic Regulation of Isoflavone Genistein in Deep-Sea Actinomycetes Microbacterium sp. B1075

Marine Drugs
Deep-sea environments, as relatively unexplored extremes within the Earth’s biosphere, exhibit notable distinctions from terrestrial habitats. To thrive in these extreme conditions, deep-sea actinomycetes have evolved unique biochemical metabolisms and ...

Comparative transcriptomics of mountain pine beetle pheromone-biosynthetic tissues and functional analysis of CYP6DE3

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background The mountain pine beetle (MPB, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is a highly destructive pest of pine forests in western North America. During flight to a new host tree and initiation of feeding, mountain pine beetles release aggregation ...

Analysis of physiological, biochemical mechanism, and pigment related genes in leaf and petal coloration of Paeonia qiui

Ornamental Plant Research
In addition to flower color, the red new leaves of tree peonies in spring are also ornamental, with the leaf color of Paeonia qiui being the most typical. This study aimed to explore the formation mechanism of P.

Screening of polyketide genes from Brazilian Atlantic Forest soil

Universitas Scientiarum, 2017
Soil is a large source of microorganisms with potential to produce bioactive compounds. Since most of them cannot be cultured, metagenomics has become a useful tool in order to evaluate this potential.

Deletion of biosynthetic genes, specific SNP patterns and differences in transcript accumulation cause variation in hydroxynitrile glucoside content in barley cultivars

Scientific Reports, 2019
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) produces five leucine-derived hydroxynitrile glucosides, potentially involved in alleviating pathogen and environmental stresses. These compounds include the cyanogenic glucoside epiheterodendrin.

Transcriptome analysis of Pueraria candollei var. mirifica for gene discovery in the biosyntheses of isoflavones and miroestrol

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Pueraria candollei var. mirifica, a Thai medicinal plant used traditionally as a rejuvenating herb, is known as a rich source of phytoestrogens, including isoflavonoids and the highly estrogenic miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol.
