Meliaceae genomes provide insights into wood development and limonoids biosynthesis
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 574-590, March 2023., 2023 The chromosome‐level genome of Azadirachta indica and Melia azedarach were provided. Meliaceae should be classified into two subfamilies: Cedreloideae and Melioideae. Cellulose/hemicellulose biosynthesis‐related genes expanded notably in woody Toona sinensis. Expanded special oxidosqualene cyclase catalogues help diversify Sapindales skeletons.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 We investigated the genetic basis for the production of triterpenoid saponins in the medicinal plant, Ardisia kteniophylla, using transcriptome sequences and qRT‐PCR. We found that genes involved in late stages of triterpenoid saponin biosynthesis are upregulated in roots, which are traditionally regarded as the medicinal organ of the plant, compared ...

The Oxidosqualene Cyclase from the Oomycete Saprolegnia parasitica Synthesizes Lanosterol as a Single Product [PDF]
, 2016 The first committed step of sterol biosynthesis is the cyclisation of 2,3-oxidosqualene to form either lanosterol (LA) or cycloartenol (CA). This is catalyzed by an oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC). LA and CA are subsequently converted into various sterols by

A co-opted steroid synthesis gene, maintained in sorghum but not maize, is associated with a divergence in leaf wax chemistry [PDF]
, 2021 Virtually all land plants are coated in a cuticle, a waxy polyester that prevents nonstomatal water loss and is important for heat and drought tolerance. Here, we describe a likely genetic basis for a divergence in cuticular wax chemistry between Sorghum
