Identification of suitable reference genes for studies of Syringa pinnatifolia Hemsl.

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1041-1053, April 2021., 2021
Appropriate and stable reference genes are important for normalization of gene expression. Here, we estimated the stability of 12 candidate reference genes in Syringa pinnatifolia. This study is the first to screen candidate reference genes in the genus Syringa and could help guide future molecular studies in this genus.

Simultaneous Knockout of Tk1-SST and Tk1-FFT via CRISPR/Cas9 Enhances the Natural Rubber Accumulation in Taraxacum kok-saghyz. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Taraxacum kok‐saghyz (TKS) synthesises natural rubber (NR) and inulin using sucrose as a carbon source. However, molecular mechanisms regulating inulin and NR accumulation remain largely unclear. Here, we report the generation of double‐gene homozygous mutants, 1‐sst1‐fft, by simultaneously knocking out two key genes responsible for inulin ...

Rubber biosynthesis drives the biogenesis and development of rubber particles, the rubber-producing organelles. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Summary Rubber particles (RPs) are specialized organelles for the biosynthesis and storage of natural rubber in rubber‐producing plants. However, the mechanisms underlying the biogenesis and development of RPs remain unclear. In this study, two latex‐specific cis‐prenyltransferases (CPTs), TkCPT1 and TkCPT2, were identified in Taraxacum kok‐saghyz ...

Assessment, Validation and Application to Real Samples of an RP-HPLC Method for the Determination of Guayulins A, B, C and D in Guayule Shrub

Separations, 2018
Guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) is a shrub native to the arid regions of Mexico. In the last decades, significant attention to its cultivation has arisen because it is the raw material for the production of hypoallergenic natural rubber.

Synergistic Potential of Argentatins A and B to Improve 5-Fluorouracil Cytotoxicity in Colorectal Cancer Cell Models. [PDF]

J Cell Mol Med
ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer‐related death in both men and women. Although a number of treatments are available to combat this malignancy, the antimetabolite 5‐fluorouracil has been the cornerstone of therapy since its synthesis in the 1950s.
