Distinguishing between isomeric neoxanthin and violaxanthin esters in yellow flower petals using liquid chromatography/photodiode array atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry. [PDF]
Rationale Liquid chromatography/photodiode array atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (LC/PDA‐APCI‐MS) is used for the analysis of various carotenoid pigments in plants. Among them, it is difficult to distinguish between the isomeric violaxanthin/neoxanthin esters.

Homospermidine synthase evolution and the origin(s) of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in Apocynaceae. [PDF]
Abstract Premise Enzymes that are encoded by paralogous genes and produce identical specialized metabolites in distantly related plant lineages are strong evidence of parallel phenotypic evolution. Inference of phenotypic homology for metabolites produced by orthologous genes is less straightforward, since orthologs may be recruited in parallel into ...

AraC-Family Transcriptional Regulator WhpR Controls Virulence in Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi Through Regulation of Indole Metabolism. [PDF]
The WHOP genomic island of Pseudomonas syringae complex pathogens integrates indole degradation, multicellular behaviour, fitness and virulence regulation in woody hosts. We propose that the ipoABC and dhoAB operons mediate indole catabolism to anthranilate, which is channeled into the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA).

An Updated Comprehensive Review of Plants and Herbal Compounds with Antiasthmatic Effect. [PDF]
Background. Asthma is a common disease with rising prevalence worldwide, especially in industrialized countries. Current asthma therapy with traditional medicines lacks satisfactory success, hence the patients’ search for alternative and complementary treatments for their diseases. Researchers have conducted many studies on plants with antiallergic and
