Complex engineering of Solanum alkaloids structural diversity in Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana offers a powerful and versatile platform for rapid production of complex specialized metabolites. Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) and steroidal saponins produced by members of the Solanaceae family are known for their diverse structures and activities including antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral ...

The Solanaceae: foods and poisons

Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, 2006
The plant family Solanaceae contains important foodstuffs such as the potato, tomato and aubergine, together with powerful poisons including mandrake, henbane and deadly nightshade. In the first article in this short series on the family, the history and importance of the potato are described.

A Fungal Cysteine‐Rich Protein SsSCP Activates Immune Responses and Confers Broad‐Spectrum Disease Resistance in Tomato

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant immune systems recognise pathogen‐derived molecular patterns to activate defence responses, yet the mechanisms underlying fungal pattern recognition in crops remain largely unclear. Here, we characterise the cysteine‐rich secretory protein SsSCP from the broad‐host‐range fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum as a potent elicitor of ...

Development of EST derived-SSRs of Theobroma grandiflorum for molecular breeding : S04P05 [PDF]

, 2013
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) markers are widely used in breeding programs, and SSRs associated to expressed sequence tags (ESTs) could be quite efficient in the selection of genotypes of interest.

Uncovering Convergent Pattern Recognition Receptors Recognising Phytophthora Across Plant Lineages

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are pivotal for plant immunity, yet their discovery in crops is hindered by lineage‐specific divergence. We demonstrate that microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) often activate immunity through phylogenetically unrelated, convergently evolved PRRs across plant lineages.

Precision RNAi in Tomato Using Synthetic Trans‐Acting Small Interfering RNAs Derived From Minimal Precursors

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT RNA interference (RNAi) is a highly conserved gene silencing mechanism regulating gene expression at transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels in plants. Synthetic trans‐acting small interfering RNAs (syn‐tasiRNAs) have emerged as powerful tools for highly specific and efficient gene silencing.

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 ...

Nicotiana benthamiana's Responses to Agroinfiltration, a Treasure Grove of New Avenues to Improve Protein Yields in Plant Molecular Farming

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transient expression of recombinant proteins in leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana is routinely employed for both basic research and manufacturing of biopharmaceutical products in plants. Relying on disarmed strains of the bacterial plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens as a transgene vector, this safe, cost‐effective and easily scalable ...
