The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Efforts are underway to increase the efficiency and precision of selection hop (Humulus lupulus L.) breeding using genomics. Little is known, however, about the genetic control of important traits like α‐and β‐acids contents, oil content, and cone morphological characteristics, all of which play an important role in determining the utility and

Genetic architecture of phenological, morphological, and phytochemical traits in Cannabis landraces
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Despite its long history of cultivation and diverse applications, Cannabis sativa remains underexplored at the genomic level, particularly in landrace populations that harbor untapped genetic diversity. In this study, we investigated the genetic architecture of 145 Iranian cannabis landrace accessions, including both male and female plants ...

African Swine Fever Virus trans-Prenyltransferase [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997 The present study describes the characterization of an African swine fever virus gene homologous to prenyltransferases. The gene, designated B318L, is located within the EcoRI B fragment in the central region of the virus genome, and encodes a polypeptide with a predicted molecular weight of 35,904.

Regulation of protein prenyltransferase in central neurons
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2009 Geranylgeranyltransferase I (GGT) is a protein prenyltransferase that mediates lipid modification of some proteins such as Rho family small GTPases. Since the activation of Rho GTPases mediates tumorgenesis and metastasis, GGT has become an attractive target for anti-tumor drug design. Although GGT is extensively expressed in the brain, the function of

N‑Prenylation of Tryptophan by an Aromatic Prenyltransferase from the Cyanobactin Biosynthetic Pathway [PDF]
, 2018 Aromatic prenylation is an important step in the biosynthesis of many natural products and leads to an astonishing diversity of chemical structures. Cyanobactin pathways frequently encode aromatic prenyltransferases that catalyze the prenylation of these

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2966-2987, June 2026.Summary The oleoresin defense system of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) protects trees from insects and pathogens and is an important source of renewable biofuels and chemicals, but the genetic basis of oleoresin production is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of oleoresin flow, resin canal number, stem wood terpene content, and ...
