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

open access: yesPlant 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

open access: yesPlant 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 ...

Artificial Mutations in the Nuclear Gene Encoding Mitochondrial RNA Polymerase Restore Pollen Fertility in Cytoplasmic Male Sterile Tomato

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and restorer of fertility (Rf) are important traits in F1 hybrid breeding. However, the CMS/Rf system has not been used in tomatoes because of the limited resources of Rf lines. In this study, we performed mutagenesis in tomato CMS seeds and successfully obtained 13 suppressor mutants with pollen fertility ...

Engineering of the Flavone Rutinoside Biosynthetic Pathway Enables Production of Diosmin, a Venoactive Compound in Solanum lycopersicum and Nicotiana tabacum

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diosmin is often used as a dietary supplement, and it is sometimes used to make phlebotropic drugs for venous diseases. Traditionally, diosmin is obtained by the dehydrogenation of the flavanone glycoside hesperidin through chemical semisynthesis.

Heterologous Production of Forskolin in Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) via Glandular Trichome Specific Engineering and Metabolic Flux Redirection

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants are promising bioreactor for the sustainable and scalable production of high‐value natural bioactive compounds, because they can synthesise phytochemicals from CO2, light, water and minerals through their innate photosynthetic carbon assimilation machinery.
