WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Chromosome‐Scale Haplotype Genome Assemblies for the Australian Mango ‘Kensington Pride’ and a Wild Relative, Mangifera laurina, Provide Insights Into Anthracnose‐Resistance and Volatile Compound Biosynthesis Genes

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mango (Mangifera indica) is one of the most popular fruits cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The availability of reference genomes helps to identify the genetic basis of important traits. Here, we report assembled high‐quality chromosome‐level genomes for the Australian mango cultivar ‘Kensington Pride’ and M ...

Gallic Acid‐Responsive microRNAs Reprogram Lignification During Drought Acclimation Process in Spearmint

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mentha spicata L. (spearmint) is a high‐value aromatic and medicinal species, whose productivity is strongly affected by water deficit. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying drought acclimation in this mint remain largely unexplored. Thus, here, we investigated the microRNA‐mediated regulatory processes triggered in M.

AhBWR15, A Novel RLK Gene, Confers Resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum in Peanut

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacterial wilt (BW), a severe soil‐borne disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, significantly impedes global peanut production. Despite its impact, the mechanisms underlying BW resistance in peanut remain unclear. Herein, we selected the highly resistant variety Nongdahua108 (H108) and the susceptible variety Nongdahua107 (H107) to develop ...

Synthesis and Preliminary Evaluation of Several Chalcone Derivatives as Sunscreen Compounds

Chemistry Journal of Moldova: General, Industrial and Ecological Chemistry, 2019
Four chalcone derivatives were synthesized and pre-evaluated as broad-spectrum UV protector. Chalcones 1-4 showed a wide range of UV absorbance values and moderate molar absorptivity values. Chalcones 3 and 4 showed better photostability than chalcones 1

A Near Telomere‐to‐Telomere Genome of Belamcanda chinensis Provides Insights Into Genome Evolution and the Biosynthesis of Characteristic Isoflavones

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Belamcanda chinensis is a non‐leguminous medicinal plant rich in bioactive isoflavones; however, the lack of a high‐quality reference genome has limited elucidation of its isoflavone biosynthetic and modification network. Here, we present the first near telomere‐to‐telomere genome assembly of B.

Synthesis of Some Phenylpyrazolo Benzimidazolo Quinoxaline Derivatives as Potent Antihistaminic Agents

E-Journal of Chemistry, 2010
2,3-Diphenyl quinoxaline (NI) was fused with benzimidazole (NII) by a methylene bridge, which was then allowed for acetylation. The acetylated product (NIV) was made to react with different aromatic aldehydes to give chalcones (NV1-NV5).

Halo-Substituted Chalcones and Azachalcones-Inhibited, Lipopolysaccharited-Stimulated, Pro-Inflammatory Responses through the TLR4-Mediated Pathway

Molecules, 2018
A series of B-ring, halo-substituted chalcones and azachalcones were synthesized to evaluate and compare their anti-inflammatory activity. Mouse BALB/c macrophage RAW 264.7 were pre-treated with 10 μg/mL of each compound for one hour before induction of ...

Sweet Potato Gene Clusters Control Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Leaf Morphology

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) exhibits diversity in pigmentation and leaf morphology, yet the genetic architecture and regulatory organisation underlying these traits remain poorly resolved, particularly with respect to organ‐specific control.
