Cytokinins Induce Prehaustoria Coordinately with Quinone Signals in the Parasitic Plant Striga hermonthica. [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2022 Orobanchaceae parasitic plants are major threats to global food security, causing severe agricultural damage worldwide. Parasitic plants derive water and nutrients from their host plants through multicellular organs called haustoria.

Redesigning the QA binding site of Photosystem II allows reduction of exogenous quinones
Nature Communications, 2017 Strategies to harness photosynthesis from living organisms to generate electrical power have long been considered, yet efficiency remains low. Here, we aimed to reroute photosynthetic electron flow in photosynthetic organisms without compromising their ...

6-Hydroxynicotinic Acid From Cucumis melo Inhibits Prehaustorium Formation in Phelipanche aegyptiaca via Disruption of Auxin Signalling Pathway. [PDF]
Mol Plant Pathol6‐hydroxynicotinic acid inhibits prehaustorium development in Phelipanche aegyptiaca by inhibiting GH3‐mediated auxin conjugation, downregulating key auxin‐responsive genes, and impairing the auxin transporter AUX1. ABSTRACT Phelipanche aegyptiaca, a root holoparasitic weed, severely threatens agricultural productivity due to its detrimental effects ...

Differences in photosystem II activity and carbon allocation during photomixotrophic growth in distinct wild-type strains of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. [PDF]
Plant JSUMMARY The regulation of photosynthetic electron transport during photomixotrophic growth in cyanobacteria remains incompletely understood. In this study, we characterized four wild‐type strains (WT 1–4) of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and observed distinct strain‐specific differences in photosystem II (PSII) function under photomixotrophic conditions ...

A Riboflavin-Derived Flavinium Salt Mediates Chemoselective Methylation Reactions. [PDF]
ChemistryA two‐component methylation protocol was developed, where the active flavin mediator can be recycled in a single step. Crystallographic data and NMR spectroscopy support the mechanistic proposal, while chemoselective methylation was observed for a broad range of biologically relevant substrates. ABSTRACT Selective methylation is among the most relevant
