Glycoalkaloid‐Free Starch Potatoes Generated by CRISPR/Cas9‐Mediated Mutations of Genes in the Glycoalkaloid Biosynthesis Pathway Enable More Sustainable Uses of By‐Products From Starch Production

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are toxic cholesterol‐derived secondary metabolites present in several Solanaceae species. In potato, tuber SGA levels are for reasons of toxicity of concern in both table and starch cultivars. In the latter, SGAs bind to proteins and fibres in starch production side‐streams and prevent their further uses as ...

Auxin‐Induced Nicotine Inhibition Is Mediated by NaARF5 Through the Suppression of NaERF1‐Like Expression and Interaction With NaERF1‐Like in Nicotiana attenuata

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nicotine is the most abundant alkaloid produced by Nicotiana species against insect herbivores. Although it has been known for decades that auxin can strongly inhibit nicotine biosynthesis, the underlying mechanisms have remained unclear.

Putrescine accumulation in human pulmonary tumours [PDF]

British Journal of Cancer, 1996
Type II pneumocytes and Clara cells, both epithelial cells that possess an active uptake system for polyamines, have been identified as possible precursor cells of at least some types of lung tumours. In this study we have investigated whether human pulmonary tumours exhibit putrescine uptake. Lung slices from both tumoral tissue and non-tumoral tissue,

Putrescine treatment has a higher effect on 5mC DNA methylation profile of wheat leaves under white than under blue light conditions

Scientific Reports
Polyamines play a pivotal role in plant growth and development by modulating primary metabolism and gene expression patterns. However, their regulatory effect on epigenetics is still not clear.

Oxidative Stress Associated with Chilling Injury in Immature Fruit: Postharvest Technological and Biotechnological Solutions [PDF]

, 2017
Immature, vegetable-like fruits are produced by crops of great economic importance, including cucumbers, zucchini, eggplants and bell peppers, among others. Because of their high respiration rates, associated with high rates of dehydration and metabolism,

The MdICE1/MdFAMA‐MdTYDC Transcriptional Module Confers Cold Tolerance by Regulating Dopamine Metabolism in Apple

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low temperature is a critical abiotic stress that imposes major constraints on the sustainable development of the fruit tree industry. Although exogenous dopamine has been shown to enhance cold tolerance in plants, its molecular mechanisms in apple (Malus domestica) remain poorly understood.

Structural investigations of N-carbamoylputrescine amidohydrolase from Medicago truncatula: insights into the ultimate step of putrescine biosynthesis in plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Putrescine, 1,4-diaminobutane, is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of more complexed polyamines, spermidine and spermine. Unlike other eukaryotes, plants have evolved a multistep pathway for putrescine biosynthesis that utilizes arginine. In the final

Evolutionary Conserved and Divergent Responses to Copper Zinc Superoxide Dismutase Inhibition in Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT After an initial evolution in a reducing environment, life got successively challenged by reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially during the great oxidation event (GOE) that followed the development of photosynthesis. Therefore, ROS are deeply intertwined into the physiological, morphological and transcriptional responses of most present‐day
