Many biocontrol fluorescent pseudomonads can protect plants from soilborne fungal pathogens through production of the antifungal secondary metabolite 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (Phl). One of the phl biosynthetic genes, phlD, encodes a polyketide synthase

The Regulation of Floral Colour Change in Pleroma raddianum (DC.) Gardner
Floral colour change is a widespread phenomenon in angiosperms, but poorly understood from the genetic and chemical point of view. This article investigates this phenomenon in Pleroma raddianum, a Brazilian endemic species whose flowers change from white

UV-B radiation enhances isoflavone accumulation and antioxidant capacity of soybean calluses
Isoflavones are a class of flavonoids that belong to a large family of polyphenols and synthesized predominantly in legume, and they play important roles including acting as antioxidant, preventing osteoporosis, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, and ...

Structure and mechanism of chalcone synthase-like polyketide synthases
Polyketide synthases (PKS) produce an array of natural products with different biological activities and pharmacological properties by varying the starter and extender molecules that form the final polyketide. Recent studies of the simplest PKS, the chalcone synthase (CHS)-like enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids, anthocyanin pigments ...

Differential Expression of Benzophenone Synthase and Chalcone Synthase in Hypericum Sampsonii [PDF]
cDNAs encoding Hypericum sampsonii benzophenone synthase (HsBPS) and chalcone synthase (HsCHS) were isolated and functionally characterized. Differential expressions of HsBPS and HsCHS were monitored using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
