Functional characterization of a novel β-glucosidase converting trillin to diosgenin from Enterococcus faecalis

Microbial Cell Factories
Background Diosgenin, known as “medicinal gold”, is the main precursor for the synthesis of steroid hormone drugs. Currently, diosgenin is primarily produced industrially via the extraction of plant-derived steroidal saponins followed by acid hydrolysis,

Cultural diversity and plant-level productivity [PDF]

Regional Science and Urban Economics, 2012
Abstract Using comprehensive data for German establishments, we estimate plant-level production functions to analyze if “cultural diversity” affects total factor productivity. We distinguish diversity in the establishment's workforce (the micro level) and in the aggregate labor force of the region where the plant is located (the macro level). We find

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Phyllosphere microbiology with special reference to diversity and plant genotype [PDF]

, 2008
The phyllosphere represents the habitat provided by the aboveground parts of plants, and on a global scale supports a large and complex microbial community.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Diverse actions of auxin on fruit development and ripening

Horticulture Advances
The process of fruit development involves the initiation of fruit set, followed by growth, maturation, and ripening. Auxin, a key plant hormone, regulates nearly all aspects of plant growth and development.
