Polyamine treatments: an effective strategy to improve crop yield and fruit colour and to preserve quality of ‘Mollar de Elche’ pomegranate fruit during storage at chilling temperatures

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change in Spain is altering the optimal conditions for producing high‐quality ‘Mollar de Elche’ pomegranate fruit, due to reduced colour development in husk and arils. In addition, the pomegranate requires storage above 7–10 °C, depending on cultivar, to preserve its quality because it is susceptible to chilling injury (CI ...

Molecular genetics of naringenin biosynthesis, a typical plant secondary metabolite produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Some types of flavonoid intermediates seemed to be restricted to plants. Naringenin is a typical plant metabolite, that has never been reported to be produced in prokariotes.

Stepwise Simulation of 3,5-Dihydro-5-methylidene-4H-imidazol-4-one (MIO) Biogenesis in Histidine Ammonia-lyase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A 3,5-dihydro-5-methylidene-4H-imidazol-4-one (MIO) electrophilic moiety is post-translationally and autocatalytically generated in homotetrameric histidine ammonia-lyase (HAL) and other enzymes containing the tripeptide Ala-Ser-Gly in a suitably ...

A DUF3455 domain‐containing protein promotes Ustilaginoidea virens infection and functions as a plant immune elicitor

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
The fungal effector UvDUF1 from Ustilaginoidea virens not only promotes infection but also acts as a plant immunity elicitor, inducing broad‐spectrum disease resistance in rice and Nicotiana benthamiana. These results reveal its potential as a novel target for sustainable crop protection strategies.

Root Growth and Enzymes Related to the Lignification of Maize Seedlings Exposed to the Allelochemical L-DOPA

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2013
L-3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) is a known allelochemical exuded from the roots of velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens L. Fabaceae). In the current work, we analyzed the effects of L-DOPA on the growth, the activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL),

Orthogonal Tri‐Modular Coiled‐Coil Assembly for Programmable Multi‐Cargo Display on Escherichia coli Nissle 1917

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A tri‐specific scaffold cell (TriSC) platform is engineered to enable programmable, reversible, and multiplex surface assembly through orthogonal and spontaneous coiled‐coil interactions. Independent targeting and therapeutic nanobodies are modularly recruited onto bacterial surfaces, allowing tunable combinatorial functionality.

Effects of virus infection on release of volatile organic compounds from insect-damaged bean, Phaseolus vulgaris [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Insects can serve as important vectors of plant pathogens, especially viruses. Insect feeding on plants causes the systemic release of a wide range of plant volatile compounds that can serve as an indirect plant defense by attracting natural enemies of ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Overexpression of Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase in Transgenic Roots of Coleus blumei Alters Growth and Rosmarinic Acid Synthesis

open access: yesFood Technology and Biotechnology, 2011
Most natural phenolic compounds in plants are derived from trans-cinnamic acid, formed by the nonoxidative deamination of L-phenylalanine by phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.24). Although a strict line between primary and secondary metabolism cannot

Exploring the loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) genome by BAC sequencing and Cot analysis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Loblolly pine (LP; Pinus taeda L.) is an economically and ecologically important tree in the southeastern U.S. To advance understanding of the loblolly pine (LP; Pinus taeda L.) genome, we sequenced and analyzed 100 BAC clones and performed a Cot ...
