From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency: description of two new cases in Tunisia and review of the literature.

, 2013
3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (3-PGDH) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of serine biosynthesis. It is typically characterized by congenital microcephaly, intractable seizures of infantile onset, and severe psychomotor retardation ...

Light signaling controls chloroplast pyruvate metabolism through the STF1/2–PKP1 module in soybean

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In soybean, light‐responsive proteins switch on GmPKP1, which boosts chloroplast pyruvate production. This increases pigments, photosynthesis, seed oil, pod number, and yield, revealing a new way that light boosts crop productivity. ABSTRACT Light signaling coordinates plant development with metabolism, but the link between photoreceptors and ...

Molecular mechanisms of transhydrogenase activity and allosteric regulation in eukaryotic type II PHGDH Ser33

Nature Communications
L-serine is a critical structural constituent of proteins and membrane phospholipids, playing major roles in cell signaling, metabolism and development. L-Serine is synthesized through a conserved de novo pathway starting from the glycolytic intermediate

TaANT11‐4A enhances grain yield by orchestrating photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism through direct transcriptional activation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
TaANT11‐4A is a positive regulator of wheat grain size and yield, directly activating TaEGY2, TaAAE1, and TaAAE2 to enhance photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism. The favorable Hap2 haplotype increases TaANT11‐4A expression and grain size, providing a genetic resource for breeding higher‐yielding wheat varieties.

Apoplast multi‐omics profiling during fungal infection uncovers new players of basal and early induced immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Important processes taking place in the apoplast during plant–pathogen interaction identified by multi‐omics profiling of the apoplastic fluid. Summary The extracellular space in plant tissues, known as the apoplast, remains one of the least characterized cellular compartments.

From isotopologues to isotopomers: advances in mass spectrometry‐based positional 13C analysis in plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Workflow of gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC‐MS)‐based 13C‐labelling analysis of plant metabolites. Summary Carbon fluxes throughout metabolic networks can be investigated experimentally through 13C‐isotope labelling experiments (13C‐ILE) and 13C‐metabolic flux analysis (13C‐MFA).
