Downregulation of a CYP74 Rubber Particle Protein Increases Natural Rubber Production in Parthenium argentatum [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 We report functional genomics studies of a CYP74 rubber particle protein from Parthenium argentatum, commonly called guayule. Previously identified as an allene oxide synthase (AOS), this CYP74 constitutes the most abundant protein found in guayule ...

Synergistic Potential of Argentatins A and B to Improve 5-Fluorouracil Cytotoxicity in Colorectal Cancer Cell Models. [PDF]
J Cell Mol MedABSTRACT Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer‐related death in both men and women. Although a number of treatments are available to combat this malignancy, the antimetabolite 5‐fluorouracil has been the cornerstone of therapy since its synthesis in the 1950s.

Metabolome and Transcriptome Profiling of Chicory Roots Provide Insights Into Laticifer Development and Specialized Metabolism. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT Chicory roots produce inulin, a dietary fiber, as well as large quantities of bitter sesquiterpene lactones (STLs), which have valuable biological activities. In an effort to understand the compartmentalization of metabolism within chicory roots and the molecular basis of the development of laticifers that produce the chicory latex, we ...
