Evolution‐Inspired Engineering of Diterpene Biosynthesis via Chloroplast Genome Modification

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5510-5525, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Terpenes constitute the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, with critical roles in plant‐environment interactions and broad industrial applications. Although nuclear genome engineering of terpene pathways has been extensively explored, chloroplast genome engineering remains largely undeveloped, with most

Diurnal Variations in Photochemical Energy Utilization and Osmotic Adjustments in Black Poplar Leaves Under Progressive Water Stress

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 7590-7603, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought limits the productivity of fast‐growing woody crops, although the metabolic adjustments conferring water stress tolerance remain poorly understood. We investigated the responses of Populus nigra seedlings to water stress by integrating daily physiological measurements and NMR metabolomic analyses.

Apicoplast-derived isoprenoids are essential for biosynthesis of GPI protein anchors, and consequently for egress and invasion in Plasmodium falciparum.

PLoS Pathogens
Glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors are the predominant glycoconjugate in Plasmodium parasites, enabling modified proteins to associate with biological membranes.

The Biosynthesis of Isoprenoids and the Mechanisms Regulating It in Plants

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2011
Plants synthesize isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) via the mevalonate pathway and the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway. IPP is condensed to its allylic isomer, dimethylallyl diphosphate, to yield geranylgeranyl diphosphate, a common precursor for the production of cyclic diterpenoids.

A redundant isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway supports Staphylococcus aureus metabolic versatility

mBio
Isoprenoids are ubiquitous molecules that serve as fundamental building blocks for life. In bacteria, isoprenoids are precursors for carotenoid pigments, respiratory cofactors, and essential sugar carrier lipids, such as lipid II.
