Transcriptomic analysis identifies differentially expressed genes in purple tender shoots and green mature leaves of Zijuan tea

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2022
Purple shoots of tea germplasm Zijuan (Camellia sinensis var. asssamica) have high anthocyanin content and gradually turn green with continued growth and development.

Two Different Chalcone Synthase Activities from Spinach

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1985
Chalcone synthase activity was found in enzyme preparations from spinach. In homogenates of young leaves two different activities of the enzyme could be separated by DEAE-ion exchange chromatography and chromatofocusing. Both activities formed naringenin with [2-14C] malonyl- CoA and 4-coumaroyl-CoA as substrates. They exhibited only slight differences

Enzymatic synthesis of bioactive quinolones and (thio)coumarins by fungal type III polyketide synthases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Quinolones are valuable scaffolds for drug discovery but are rare in nature. Here, we show that two fungal enzymes, AthePKS and FerePKS, can generate 2‐quinolones and two additional heteroaromatic scaffolds. Using AthePKS, we designed an artificial enzymatic cascade towards an antimicrobial quinolone from a simple precursor and implemented it in E ...

Analysis of Flavanone 3-Hydroxylase in Arabidopsis Seedlings (Coordinate Regulation with Chalcone Synthase and Chalcone Isomerase) [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1996
Abstract A genomic clone encoding flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) was isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana. The deduced amino acid sequence is 72 to 94% identical to all previously reported F3H proteins. Low-stringency DNA blot analysis indicated that F3H is encoded by a single gene in Arabidopsis.

Metabolo‐Transcriptomics Analyses Reveal Alfalfa Adaptation to Combined Saline‐Alkali and Low‐Temperature Stress in the Field

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is known as the ‘King of Forage’ because of its high protein content and excellent palatability. Alfalfa productivity is adversely affected in cold regions with saline‐alkali soils. However, the mechanisms underlying the response of alfalfa to combined saline‐alkali and low‐temperature stress under field conditions

In silico identification of Capsicum type III polyketide synthase genes and expression patterns in Capsicum annuum

Open Life Sciences, 2020
Studies have shown that abundant and various flavonoids accumulate in chili pepper (Capsicum), but there are few reports on the genes that govern chili pepper flavonoid biosynthesis. Here, we report the comprehensive identification of genes encoding type

Overexpression of a Tonoplast Malate Transporter Gene Leads to Enhanced Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Apple

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anthocyanins, a group of secondary metabolites synthesised in the phenylpropanoid pathway, largely determine the peel colour of fleshy fruits, but it is not known if their synthesis is linked to vacuolar malate accumulation that underlies fruit acidity.

Anthocyanins Profiling Analysis and RNA-Seq Revealed the Dominating Pigments and Coloring Mechanism in Cyclamen Flowers

Biology, 2022
Pigments in cyclamen (Cyclamen purpurascens) endows flowers with great ornamental and medicinal values. However, little is known about the biosynthetic pathways of pigments, especially anthocyanins, in cyclamen flowers. Herein, anthocyanins profiling and

Rosmarinic Acid Synthase 1 Phosphorylation by SmMAPK3 Is Required for Salicylic Acid‐Induced Salvianolic Acid Accumulation in Salvia miltiorrhiza Hairy Roots

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salvianolic acid is the main active component of Salvia miltiorrhiza and holds significant value in the clinical treatment of myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Previous studies have shown that salicylic acid (SA) can significantly promote the accumulation of salvianolic acid, but its molecular mechanism remains incompletely understood.
