ABSTRACT As an important oilseed and food material, the nutritional quality of peanut is influenced by not only the variety but also place of origin. However, research on the geographical impact remains scarce. In this study, nine peanut cultivars were planted at eight sites to determine geographical effects on quality parameters, including fatty acids,

Mutation of the inducible ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA CYTOCHROME P450 REDUCTASE2 alters lignin composition and improves saccharification [PDF]
ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA CYTOCHROME P450 REDUCTASE1 (ATR1) and ATR2 provide electrons from NADPH to a large number of CYTOCHROME P450 (CYP450) enzymes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).

Stacking of a low-lignin trait with an increased guaiacyl and 5-hydroxyguaiacyl unit trait leads to additive and synergistic effects on saccharification efficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Background: Lignocellulosic biomass, such as wood and straw, is an interesting feedstock for the production of fer-mentable sugars. However, mainly due to the presence of lignin, this type of biomass is recalcitrant to saccharification.

Multiple Forms of the Constitutive Wheat Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase [PDF]
Three cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) isoenzymes were separated from etiolated wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L.) and examined by native gel electrophoresis. Two of these enzymes (CAD-1 and CAD-2) were purified to apparent homogeneity.
