Mechanical Strength: An Unrecognised Target in the Genetic Improvement of Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leaf angle (LA) is a crucial agronomic trait influencing planting density and crop yield. Previous research highlighted the importance of cellular variations in the ligular region for determining LA, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear.

Ferric quinate (QPLEX) interacts with the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Campylobacter jejuni and enters through the porin channel into the periplasmic space

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022
Ferric chelates like ferric tyrosinate (TYPLEX) and the closely related ferric quinate (QPLEX) are structural mimics of bacterial siderophores. TYPLEX has been trialled as a feed additive in farming of commercial broilers, reducing Campylobacter loads by

The Inducible Quinate-Shikimate Catabolic Pathway in Neurospora crassa: Genetic Organization [PDF]

Microbiology, 2000
Summary: In Neurospora crassa the conversion of quinate and shikimate to protocatechuate is catalysed by three inducible enzymes. Previous studies have demonstrated that the qa-1 locus encodes a multimeric regulatory protein which is required for the synthesis of the three catabolic enzymes.

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

Engineering 2‐Pyrone‐4,6‐Dicarboxylic Acid Production Reveals Metabolic Plasticity of Poplar

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1398-1413, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Woody biomass is a promising source of fermentable sugars for biofuels and bio‐based chemicals, but its industrial use is limited by the costly biorefinery process. A viable strategy to reduce costs involves enhancing both biomass processability and the generation of high‐value co‐products.

Synthesis and antihepatotoxic and antiproliferative activities of di- and tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid derivatives [PDF]

, 2001
Methyl di- and tri-O-caffeoylquinates were synthesized by esterification of methyl quinate with di-O-acetylcaffeoyl chloride, following deprotection of the acetyl groups. Moreover, 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid was synthesized by esterification of quinide
