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.

Microbial metabolic engineering for the production of isoprenoids in escherichia coli

, 2013
Isoprenoids, consisting of more than 50,000 compounds, have many functions in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Many isoprenoids are used for the treatment of human diseases, such as malaria and cancers.

Biosynthesis of isoprenoids in higher plant chloroplasts proceeds via a mevalonate-independent pathway

, 1997
Isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) is the biological C5 precursor of isoprenoids. By labeling experiments using [1-13C]glucose, higher plants were shown to possess two distinct biosynthetic routes for IPP biosynthesis: while the cytoplasmic sterols were ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities in sand bars associated with Ipomoea pes‐caprae: a promising strategy for petroleum spill bioremediation in coastal dunes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of petroleum‐derived compounds known for causing cellular damage and for their recalcitrant behavior, severely limit effective biodegradation. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from oil‐contaminated environments can mitigate PAH‐related stress on host plants, highlighting the ...

Biological Activities of Essential Oils: From Plant Chemoecology to Traditional Healing Systems

Molecules, 2017
Essential oils are complex mixtures of hydrocarbons and their oxygenated derivatives arising from two different isoprenoid pathways. Essential oils are produced by glandular trichomes and other secretory structures, specialized secretory tissues mainly ...

Integrated genomic and transcriptomic approaches reveal oxidative stress adaptation mechanisms in a mesotrione‐resistant Amaranthus tuberculatus biotype

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6387-6398, July 2026.
Integrated GWAS and transcriptomics in a Canadian waterhemp biotype reveal mesotrione resistance is polygenic and metabolically driven. Significant SNPs and 187 herbicide‐responsive genes point to enhanced redox homeostasis, glutathione‐linked detoxification, lipid/secondary metabolism, and oxidative stress responses. Resistance arises from coordinated,

Demonstration of an oligosaccharide-diphosphodolichol diphosphatase activity whose subcellular localization is different than those of dolichyl-phosphate-dependent enzymes of the dolichol cycle

Journal of Lipid Research, 2016
Oligosaccharyl phosphates (OSPs) are hydrolyzed from oligosaccharide-diphosphodolichol (DLO) during protein N-glycosylation by an uncharacterized process.

New evidence for the functional roles of volatile and non-volatile isoprenoids in stressed plants

, 2014
Mediterranean plants are challenged against extreme, often unpredictable stress events which may pose severe constrains for the plant survival, as uncontrolled reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation ultimately lead to cell death. Secondary metabolites,

COCHLEATA controls spatial regulation of cytokinin and auxin during nodule development

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 228-244, July 2026.
Nodule development defects in the coch mutant include root‐like structures, reduced colonisation, and vascular disorganisation. Summary Root nodules host nitrogen‐fixing bacteria and likely evolved through modifications of the lateral root program. Members of the NOOT‐BOP‐COCH‐LIKE transcriptional coregulator family suppress root identity in nodules ...

Biosynthesis of archaeal membrane ether lipids

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
A vital function of the cell membrane in all living organism is to maintain the membrane permeability barrier and fluidity. The composition of the phospholipid bilayer is distinct in archaea when compared to bacteria and eukarya.
