Plants, Pollinators and Pheromones: Promises and Lies of Semiochemicals
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pollination is traditionally regarded as a quintessential mutualism, yet many plants employ deceptive strategies to achieve reproductive success. Among the most intriguing is sexual deception, wherein flowers mimic the sex pheromones and visual signals of female insects to attract male pollinators—without providing any reward.

Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) in Vector Systems Played Sense Role of Epigenetic in Plants [PDF]
, 2008 The green fluorescent protein (GFP) of jellyfish (_Aequorea victoria_) has significant advantages over other reporter genes, because expression can be detected in living cells without any substrates.

Transgenic apple plants overexpressing the - gene of show increased levels of 3-hydroxyphloridzin and reduced susceptibility to apple scab and fire blight [PDF]
, 2016 Main conclusion Overexpression of chalcone-3-hydroxylase provokes increased accumulation of 3-hydroxyphloridzin inMalus. Decreased flavonoid concentrations but unchanged flavonoid class composition were observed. The increased 3-hydroxyphlorizin contents

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Ethanol priming enhances heat tolerance in grapevine cells, offering a novel strategy for improving plant resilience to climate stress. Abstract Grapevine is naturally exposed to stresses like heat, drought, and hypoxia. A recent study found very low oxygen levels inside grape berries, linked to ethanol content.

Secondary metabolites in Gerbera hybrida [PDF]
, 2008 Plants produce a diversity of secondary metabolites, i.e., low-molecular-weight compounds that have primarily ecological functions in plants. The flavonoid pathway is one of the most studied biosynthetic pathways in plants.

Isolation and expression analysis of NtCHS6, a new chalcone synthase gene from Nicotiana tabacum
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017 Chalcone synthases (CHS, EC 2.3.1.74) are key enzymes that catalyze the first committed step in flavonoid biosynthesis. In this study, we isolated a chalcone synthase, named NtCHS6, from Nicotiana tabacum.
