Microneedle‐Based Biofertilizer Delivery Improves Plant Growth Through Microbiome Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This figure shows how microneedles are used to deliver biofertilizers to enhance plant growth through microbial migration, metabolic reprogramming, and changes in plant endogenous microbiome. Abstract This study presents a microneedle‐based system for the delivery of rhizospheric biofertilizers into plant tissues to enhance growth.

Microbial Hydroxylation of Indole Alkaloids [PDF]

Applied Microbiology, 1964
The hydroxylation of the indole-type alkaloids, yohimbine, α-yohimbine, β-yohimbine, and corynanthine, was achieved with several genera of higher fungi and species of Streptomyces . Microorganisms were found which monohydroxylated these compounds in three different positions.

Uncovering the Mechanism of Azepino‐Indole Skeleton Formation via Pictet–Spengler Reaction by Strictosidine Synthase: A Quantum Chemical Investigation

ChemistryOpen, 2023
Strictosidine synthase (STR) catalyzes the Pictet–Spengler (PS) reaction of tryptamine and secologanin to produce strictosidine. Recent studies demonstrated that the enzyme can also catalyze the reaction of non‐natural substrates to form new alkaloid ...

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.
