Expression of a bacterial 3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase reduces lignin content and improves biomass saccharification efficiency. [PDF]

, 2015
Lignin confers recalcitrance to plant biomass used as feedstocks in agro-processing industries or as source of renewable sugars for the production of bioproducts. The metabolic steps for the synthesis of lignin building blocks belong to the shikimate and

Remodeling of the terpenoid metabolism during prolonged phosphate depletion in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Terpenoids are a diverse class of naturally occurring organic compounds, which derive from five‐carbon isoprene units and play crucial roles in physiology, ecological interactions such as defense mechanisms, or adaptation to environmental stresses.

Metabolic engineering of micronutrients in crop plants [PDF]

, 2016
Micronutrient deficiency is a widespread phenomenon, most prevalent in developing countries. Being causally linked to the occurrence of a range of diseases, it affects billions of people worldwide. Enhancing the content of micronutrients in crop products

Production of a subunit vaccine candidate against porcine post-weaning diarrhea in high-biomass transplastomic tobacco [PDF]

, 2012
Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in piglets is a major problem in piggeries worldwide and results in severe economic losses. Infection with Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the key culprit for the PWD disease.

Multiple Origins or Widespread Gene Flow in Agricultural Fields? Regional Population Genomics of Herbicide Resistance in Bromus tectorum

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The repeated evolution of herbicide resistance in agriculture provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand how organisms rapidly respond to strong anthropogenic‐driven selection pressure. We recently identified agricultural populations of the grass species Bromus tectorum L. with resistance to multiple herbicides.

Plastid-Nucleus Distance Alters the Behavior of Stromules

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Plastids send “retrograde” signals to the nucleus to deliver information regarding their physiological status. One open question concerning this signal transfer is how the signal bridges the cytoplasm.

Elevated CO2 alters soybean physiology and defense responses, and has disparate effects on susceptibility to diverse microbial pathogens

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Increasing atmospheric CO2 levels have a variety of effects that can influence plant responses to microbial pathogens. However, these responses are varied, and it is challenging to predict how elevated CO2 (eCO2) will affect a particular plant–pathogen interaction.
