Bi‐functional transcription factor SlbHLH95 regulates fruits flavonoid metabolism and grey mould resistance in tomato

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Flavonoids are polyphenolic secondary metabolites in tomato fruit with important roles in nutritional quality. Dissecting the transcriptional regulatory network modulating flavonoid metabolism is the first step to improve the nutritional quality of tomato fruits through molecular breeding technology. In this study, we identified a transcription

A de novo transcriptomic approach to identify flavonoids and anthocyanins switch-off in olive (Olea europaea L.) drupes at different stages of maturation

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
During ripening, the fruits of the olive tree (Olea europaea L.) undergo a progressive chromatic change characterized by the formation of a red-brown spot which gradually extends on the epidermis and in the innermost part of the mesocarp.

36 degree step size of proton-driven c-ring rotation in FoF1-ATP synthase [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
Synthesis of the biological "energy currency molecule" adenosine triphosphate ATP is accomplished by FoF1-ATP synthase. In the plasma membrane of Escherichia coli, proton-driven rotation of a ring of 10 c subunits in the Fo motor powers catalysis in the F1 motor. While F1 uses 120 degree stepping, Fo models predict a step-by-step rotation of c subunits

VqERF1B‐VqERF062‐VqNSTS2 transcriptional cascade enhances stilbene biosynthesis and resistance to powdery mildew in grapevine

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Grapes, as one of the world's oldest economic crops, are severely affected by grape powdery mildew, causing significant economic losses. As a phytoalexin against powdery mildew, stilbenes and their key synthetic gene, stilbene synthase (STS), are highly sought after by researchers.

Modulation of lignin and anthocyanin homeostasis by GTP cyclohydrolase1 in maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Maize is a key biomass resource with wide agricultural applications. Anthocyanins, potent antioxidants, offer health benefits like reducing oxidative stress. The biosynthesis of anthocyanins competes with that of lignin for shared metabolic precursors, which can lead to trade‐offs in plant growth and feed quality.

Light-Controlled Fruit Pigmentation and Flavor Volatiles in Tomato and Bell Pepper

Antioxidants, 2019
Light is a major environmental factor affecting the regulation of secondary metabolites, such as pigments and flavor. The Solanaceae plant family has diverse patterns of fruit metabolisms that serve as suitable models to understand the molecular basis of

ERF100 regulated by ERF28 and NOR controls pectate lyase 7, modulating fig (Ficus carica L.) fruit softening

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary The mechanism regulating fruit textural changes has not been fully elucidated. Transcription factor FcERF100 showed rapid transcription repression during drastic texture loss in fig (Ficus carica L.) fruit ripening. Transient overexpression of FcERF100 delayed fig fruit softening and significantly decreased the transcript abundance of a key ...

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.
