Evaluation of bacterial strains for the induction of plant biochemicals, nutritional contents and isozymes in barley [PDF]
, 2017 The controlled placement of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in poly(styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene) [SIS] triblock copolymer thin films was achieved by tuning the surface chemistry of the AuNPs.

Arabidopsis root lipid droplets are hubs for membrane homeostasis under heat stress, and triterpenoid synthesis and storage. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Plant lipid droplets (LDs) and their associated proteins have numerous subcellular and physiological functions. While considerable progress has been made for LDs in many tissues, the function and composition of LDs in roots remain largely unexplored.

SOME PROPERTIES OF THE MICROSOMAL 2,3-OXIDOSQUALENE STEROL CYCLASE [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1969 The transformation of 2,3-oxidosqualene to lanosterol is catalyzed by a microsomal enzyme (cyclase) which can be obtained in soluble and partially purified form by treatment of liver microsomes with deoxycholate as previously shown. The catalytic and physical properties of the soluble enzyme are determined by ionic strength. In 0.4

Research Advances in Oxidosqualene Cyclase in Plants
Forests, 2022 Triterpenes are natural products of plants that can defend against microorganisms and various stresses. Oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC), the key rate-limiting enzyme of the triterpene biosynthetic pathway, catalyzes 2,3-oxidosqualene into sterols and triterpenes with different skeletons through the chair–boat–chair (CBC) conformation or chair–chair–chair ...
