Comparison of the glucooligosaccharide profiles produced from maltose by two different transglucosidases from Aspergillus niger [PDF]

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2010
Prebiotic isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) preparations contain α-D-glucooligosaccharides and their structure is the key factor for their prebiotic potential.

Fine mapping and functional analysis of the candidate gene OFP17, regulating both seed and fruit sizes in cotton

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Single cotton boll weight (BW) and seed index (SI, 100‐seed weight) are key determinants of lint and seed yield, yet their genetic basis remains poorly understood. Here, a stable interploidy introgression line with small boll from Gossypium arboreum in Gossypium hirsutum, NB298, was employed to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of BW and SI ...

Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 694-718, March 2026.
Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.

Differentially evolved glucosyltransferases determine natural variation of rice flavone accumulation and UV-tolerance

Nature Communications, 2017
In contrast to flavonols, the functions of plant flavones are largely unknown. Here, the authors report the two differentially evolved glucosyltranferases (flavone 7-O-glucosyltransferase and flavone 5-O-glucosyltransferase) determine natural variation ...

Genetic Surveillance Reveals Differential Evolutionary Dynamic of Anopheles gambiae Under Contrasting Insecticidal Tools Used in Malaria Control

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria, a febrile disease caused by the Plasmodium parasites and transmitted by mosquitoes, is a leading cause of mortality in children under 5 in endemic countries. The widespread deployment of insecticide‐treated bed nets (ITNs) has significantly reduced malaria transmission, but rising levels of insecticide resistance threaten to halt the ...

The inhibition of Streptococcus mutans glucosyltransferase enzyme activity by mangosteen pericarp extract

Dental Journal, 2017
Background: Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is a bacterium that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of dental caries. Streptococcus mutans produces the glucosyltransferase enzyme which is capable of catalyzing glucan synthesis in the progression

Resource Availability Modulates Gene Expression Across Life Stages in a Migratory Butterfly

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural populations are in constant need of balancing resource allocation to compensate for seasonal environmental variation. In many insects, a well‐established trade‐off between migration and reproduction exists. While this trade‐off has been characterised phenotypically for decades, the underlying regulatory pathways are poorly understood ...

Genome Assembly Revealed MdZAT5 Coordinates Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Apple Fruit Peel and Flesh by Interacting With MdHY5

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1655-1677, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Anthocyanins are plant pigments that contribute to fruit coloration and nutritional quality, yet the coordinated regulation of their accumulation in both peel and flesh remains elusive. Here, we present a haplotype‐resolved genome of Malus cv. ‘Royalty’, a model cultivar with consistently red peel and flesh. A zinc‐finger transcription factor,
