LAP3, a novel plant protein required for pollen development, is essential for proper exine formation [PDF]
, 2009 We isolated lap3-1 and lap3-2 mutants in ascreen for pollen that displays abnormal stigma binding.Unlike wild-type pollen, lap3-1 and lap3-2 pollen exine isthinner, weaker, and is missing some connections betweentheir roof-like tectum structures.

Ethanol triggers grape gene expression leading to anthocyanin accumulation during berry ripening [PDF]
, 2002 Recent studies have shown that low doses of ethanol stimulate the maturation of some fruits. The present work showed that spraying Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with 5% ethanol at veraison enhances the anthocyanin accumulation.

A SQUAMOSA MADS-box gene involved in the regulation of anthocyanin accumulation in bilberry fruits [PDF]
, 2010 Anthocyanins are important health promoting phytochemicals that are abundant in many fleshy fruits. Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) is one of the best sources of these compounds.

Chalcone synthase variation and phylogenetic relationships in Dactylorhiza (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010 Different authors have demonstrated the usefulness of single-copy nuclear genes in unravelling the evolution of polyploid species' complexes. We used the chalcone synthase gene family to analyse relationships among several Dactylorhiza species belonging to the main diploid and tetraploid lineages of this genus and to evaluate relationships between ...

The Regulation of Floral Colour Change in Pleroma raddianum (DC.) Gardner
Molecules, 2020 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
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023 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 ...

Control of anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway gene expression by eutypine, a toxin from Eutypa lata, in grape cell tissue cultures [PDF]
, 2003 Eutypine, 4-hydroxy-3-(3-methyl-3-butene-1-ynyl) benzaldehyde, is a toxin produced by Eutypa lata, the causal agent of Eutypa dieback in grapevine. The effect of the toxin on anthocyanin synthesis has been investigated in Vitis vinifera cv.

Structure and mechanism of chalcone synthase-like polyketide synthases
Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2001 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 ...
