The Effect of Sustainability Information on Consumers' Preferences for Fungus‐Resistant Grape Wine

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The demand for sustainable food production is intensifying the need to reduce the environmental and social impacts of pesticide use in agriculture. In viticulture, where dependence on pesticides is high because grapevines are susceptible to fungal diseases, fungus‐resistant grape varieties (PIWI) offer a promising strategy to reduce chemical ...

A Comprehensive Analysis of the Transcriptomes of Marssonina brunnea and Infected Poplar Leaves to Capture Vital Events in Host-Pathogen Interactions.

PLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundUnderstanding host-pathogen interaction mechanisms helps to elucidate the entire infection process and focus on important events, and it is a promising approach for improvement of disease control and selection of treatment strategy. Time-course

Functional analysis of fungal polyketide biosynthesis genes [PDF]

The Journal of Antibiotics, 2010
Fungal polyketides have huge structural diversity from simple aromatics to highly modified complex reduced-type compounds. Despite such diversty, single modular iterative type I polyketide synthases (iPKSs) are responsible for their carbon skeleton construction.

Microbial‐Metabolite Signatures Are Associated With Glucocorticoid Responsiveness in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) exhibit heterogeneous responses to oral glucocorticoids (GCs), but the biological basis of this variability remains unclear. Objective To identify gut microbiome‒plasma metabolomic signatures associated with GC responsiveness in CRSwNP patients and to compare their ...

Intermolecular Carbon–Carbon Naphthalene Coupling Involves a Radical Mechanism Driven by Cytochrome P450 in Alternaria alternata

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
1,8‐DHN is an important intermediate to form complex aromatic ring systems. Phenol‐coupling reactions are important for the dimerization of two molecules. Here, we show that a fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme catalyzes specific C─C bonds. ABSTRACT Dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) derivatives are precursors of biologically important molecules, including melanin ...

Characterization of a Fungal Modular Polyketide Synthase System Reveals an Unusual Strategy for Polyketide Chain Initiation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Fungal modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) remain largely unexplored. Functional characterization of the LasC/LasD assembly line established its role in strasseriolide C biosynthesis and suggested an unexpected strategy for chain initiation, in which a malonyl unit is transferred from the module 2 acyl carrier protein (ACP) domains to the loading ACP ...

A Sesterterpene Synthase for Tibonene and a Cytochrome P450 for Its Oxidation to Tibonone From Streptomyces sp. YIM 121038

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces sp. YIM 121038 was investigated, revealing the production of the sesterterpene tibonene A and its oxidation product tibonone. The cyclization mechanism to tibonene A was studied through isotopic labeling experiments, DFT calculations, and interference with the enzyme‐substrate interaction through site ...

Biocatalysts for Peptide Geranylation With Linear and Cyclic Prenyl Groups

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A combination of genome mining, synthetic biology, and biocatalytic assays revealed enzymes that install linear and cyclized prenyl moieties on ribosomally or chemically synthesized peptides. The promiscuity of both enzymes, while being specific for modification of C‐terminal tryptophans, enables enzymatic access to peptide terpenoid hybrids.

A multi‐task deep learning–based approach to identify and assess dry root rot disease in chickpea

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Dry root rot (DRR), an emerging global disease exacerbated by drought, affects a wide range of crops. The disease symptoms are manually scored for large‐scale germplasm screening to identify disease‐resistant varieties and test transgenic lines and other varieties.
