A Chemical Probe for Increasing Leaf Tocopherol Levels by Coordinated Modulation of Biosynthesis, Competition and Storage

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant biofortification with phytonutrients typically relies on metabolic engineering strategies known as ‘push’ (enhancing biosynthetic flux), ‘block’ (inhibiting competing pathways) and ‘pull’ (promoting metabolite storage). Here, we describe a novel synthetic compound, X57, that simultaneously targets biosynthesis, competition and storage to

Two Indel Variations in the Regulated Carotenoid Pigment Gene Hold the Key to the Interspecies Flower Colour Differentiation in Liriodendron Plants

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flower colour variation is pivotal for plant evolution, ecological adaptation, and pollinator attraction. In the Liriodendron genus, L. tulipifera features a distinct orange petal stripe which is absent in L. chinense, driven by differential carotenoid accumulation, yet the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear.

Convergent Evolution and De Novo Reconstitution of Apiin Biosynthesis

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Apiin, an active flavonoid apioside, occurs in phylogenetically distant plants, such as parsley and chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Its sporadic distribution suggests the existence of convergent apiin biosynthesis; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this convergence remain unclear.

Serial Spatial Transcriptomes Reveal Regulatory Transitions in Maize Leaf Development

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant leaves originate from the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and undergo a developmental process of highly coordinated gene expression regulation. To date, only a few key regulators have been identified and characterised, so the gene expression cascades responsible for leaf cell specification and differentiation from SAM remain largely elusive.
