Rice MGD1‐Mediated Improvement of Photosynthesis and Crop Yield by Flexible Adaptation to Different Light Conditions

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flexible adaptation to different light intensities found in natural environments is crucial for efficient photosynthesis and yield production in crops. The ability to cope with suboptimal light conditions effectively and efficiently is clearly advantageous.

ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]

, 1987
The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with

Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering of Microalgae for Sustainable Lipid and Terpenoid Production: An Updated Perspective

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microalgae are increasingly recognised as powerful platforms for the sustainable production of lipids and terpenoids, with expanding applications in the food, fuel and biomanufacturing industries. In this updated review, we consolidate and critically assess the most recent advances in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering of key ...

Pollination following grafting introduces efficiently Ocimum basilicum L. genes into Nicotiana tabacum L.

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2013
Tobacco is an important cash crop in the world. However, the genetic basis is comparatively narrow among the modern Nicotiana tabacum cultivars, limiting its potential for quality improvement. To introduce genes conferring desirable chemical constituents

Validation of Coffee seed promoter in Nicotiana tabacum [PDF]

, 2010
Promoters that restrict transgenic expressions in a specific organ or tissue and, at a certain stage of plant development or in response to stress are extremely desirable for the improvement of agronomic species by transgenesis.

Jasmonate‐Activated AaWRKY9–AabHLH93/AabHLH93–AaMYB7 Complexes Balance Artemisinin Biosynthesis in Artemisia annua

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artemisinin, an antimalarial sesquiterpene lactone, is biosynthesized in glandular trichomes of Artemisia annua. Although numerous transcription factors have been demonstrated to regulate artemisinin biosynthesis, the molecular mechanisms underlying the high expression of artemisinin‐associated biosynthetic enzyme and transcription factor ...

Protein and alkaloid patterns of the floral nectar in some solanaceous species [PDF]

, 2015
The family Solanaceae includes several melliferous plants, which tend to produce copious amounts of nectar. Floral nectar is a chemically complex aqueous solution, dominated by sugars, but minor components such as amino acids, proteins, flavonoids and ...

Engineering of the Flavone Rutinoside Biosynthetic Pathway Enables Production of Diosmin, a Venoactive Compound in Solanum lycopersicum and Nicotiana tabacum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diosmin is often used as a dietary supplement, and it is sometimes used to make phlebotropic drugs for venous diseases. Traditionally, diosmin is obtained by the dehydrogenation of the flavanone glycoside hesperidin through chemical semisynthesis.

Heterologous Production of Forskolin in Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) via Glandular Trichome Specific Engineering and Metabolic Flux Redirection

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants are promising bioreactor for the sustainable and scalable production of high‐value natural bioactive compounds, because they can synthesise phytochemicals from CO2, light, water and minerals through their innate photosynthetic carbon assimilation machinery.
