Multi‐Induction Strategies in Crops: Mechanisms, Synergistic Effects, and Sustainable Applications for Enhanced Secondary Metabolite Production

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
This review analyzes single/combined abiotic (light, water, nutrients, hormones) and biotic (microbes, yeast) elicitors regulating signaling, gene expression, and metabolism to boost plant secondary metabolites. It highlights synergistic multielicitor strategies for crop quality and functional foods, while critically addressing current limitations and ...

Recombinant expression and functional characterisation of regiospecific flavonoid glucosyltransferases from Hieracium pilosella L.

, 2009
Five glucosyltransferases were cloned by RT-PCR amplification using total RNA from Hieracium pilosella L. (Asteraceae) inflorescences as template. Expression was accomplished in Escherichia coli, and three of the HIS-tagged enzymes, UGT90A7, UGT95A1, and

Associations Between Oral Health Related Outcomes and Electronic Cigarette Use in Young People: A Scoping Review

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 577-584, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Vaping is prevalent among youth, but its effects on oral health remain poorly understood. Exposure to harmful chemicals and nicotine during this critical developmental period raises concerns for long‐term oral health impacts. Aim This scoping review synthesizes available evidence regarding oral health related outcomes of e‐cigarette

Three kinds of extracellular glucosyltransferases from Streptococcus mutans 6715 (serotype g)

, 1983
In addition to the 1,3-α-D-glucan synthetase (pI 4.9) and the highly-branched 1,6-α-D-glucan synthetase (pI 3.9–4.1), Streptococcus mutans 6715 (serotype g) was found to secrete the third glucosyltransferase in multiple forms (pI 5.5–7.0), which ...

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 ...

Sweet Potato Gene Clusters Control Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Leaf Morphology

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4500-4527, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) exhibits diversity in pigmentation and leaf morphology, yet the genetic architecture and regulatory organisation underlying these traits remain poorly resolved, particularly with respect to organ‐specific control.

Drought‐Induced Abscisic Acid Accumulation in Soybean Roots Depends on NCED Gene Expression More Than Shoot‐to‐Root ABA Transport

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4166-4177, July 2026.
Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone in plant responses to water deficit. Although there is extensive evidence that roots can synthesise ABA, recent findings suggest that local synthesis in response to dehydration contributes little to the root ABA pool compared to shoot‐sourced ABA.

Structural Analysis of the Functional Influence of the Surface Peptide Gtf-P1 on Streptococcus Mutans Glucosyltransferase C Activity

, 2009
Glucosyltransferases (GtfB/C/D) in Streptococcus mutans are responsible for synthesizing water-insoluble and water- soluble glucans from sucrose and play very crucial roles in the formation of dental plaque. A monoclonal antibody against a 19-mer peptide
