Metabolic engineering of isoprenoid biosynthesis in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 [PDF]
, 2016 The feasibility of increasing isoprenoid biosynthesis in the obligate photoautotrophic cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 was explored through the use of a heterologous mevalonate pathway. Incorporation of heterologous genes that produce non-

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Traditional leaf gas exchange experiments have focused on net CO2 exchange (Anet). Here, using California poplar (Populus trichocarpa), we coupled measurements of net oxygen production (NOP), isoprene emissions and δ18O in O2 to traditional CO2/H2O gas exchange with chlorophyll fluorescence, and measured light, CO2 and temperature response ...

Isoprenoid biosynthesis: manifold chemistry catalyzed by similar enzymes
, 1998 Isoprenoids comprise a family of more than 23,000 natural products, among them the precursors of cholesterol and taxol. The structures of three isoprenoid-cyclizing enzymes have recently been determined and here are placed in the greater context of ...

Enzymes of the mevalonate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis [PDF]
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2011 The mevalonate pathway accounts for conversion of acetyl-CoA to isopentenyl 5-diphosphate, the versatile precursor of polyisoprenoid metabolites and natural products. The pathway functions in most eukaryotes, archaea, and some eubacteria. Only recently has much of the functional and structural basis for this metabolism been reported.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.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.

Distinct evolutionary strategies in the GGPPS family from plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Multiple geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthases (GGPPS) for biosynthesis of geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) exist in plants. GGPP is produced in the isoprenoid pathway and is a central precursor for various primary and specialized plant metabolites ...

Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014 A set of bisphosphonate ethers has been prepared through sequential phosphonylation and alkylation of monophosphonate ethers. After formation of the corresponding phosphonic acid salts, these compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit the enzyme ...

Genome-Wide Association Study and Pathway-Level Analysis of Kernel Color in Maize
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Rapid development and adoption of biofortified, provitamin A-dense orange maize (Zea mays L.) varieties could be facilitated by a greater understanding of the natural variation underlying kernel color, including as it relates to carotenoid biosynthesis ...
