Biosynthesis of Lycosantalonol, a cis-Prenyl Derived Diterpenoid [PDF]
Terpenoid natural products are generally derived from isoprenyl diphosphate precursors with trans double-bond configuration, and no diterpenoid derived from the cisoid precursor (Z,Z,Z)-nerylneryl diphosphate (1) has yet been identified.

Nature's Shield: Exploring Nonglandular Trichomes (NGT) as Key Players in Plant Defense Mechanisms
ABSTRACT Trichomes are found on almost all terrestrial plants and are derived from epidermal cells. Nonglandular trichomes (NGTs) protect plants from environmental stress, such as pest and pathogen invasion, reduce water loss, and increase resistance to abiotic stressors, including UV radiation, cold, and extreme temperatures.

Mating system transitions impact population structure and biodiversity in Solanum habrochaites
Although many plant species have evolved means of preventing self-fertilization, self-compatibility (SC), the ability to set self-seed using pollen and ovules of the same plant is exceedingly common. In the wild tomatoes (Solanum section Lycopersicon) and other Solanaceous species, plants have evolved a genetic mechanism for preventing self ...

Pattern of genetic variability of Solanum habrochaites in its natural area of distribution
The tomato wild relative species Solanum habrochaites (previously known as Lycopersicon hirsutum) is a potential source of novel genes for tomato breeding. It shows resistance to many diseases and pests, cold tolerance and fruit quality traits. This species inhabits the western Andean slopes at high elevations from central Ecuador to central Peru.

Resistance to sap-sucking insects in modern-day agriculture [PDF]
Plants and herbivores have co-evolved in their natural habitats for about 350 million years, but since the domestication of crops, plant resistance against insects has taken a different turn.

Secretions from glandular trichomes potentially protect the plant against a variety of aggressors. In the tomato genus, wild species constitute a rich source of chemical diversity produced at the leaf surface by glandular trichomes.

SUMMARY Terpenoids, the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant natural products, play essential roles in maize defense and ecological interactions. In this study, we identified and functionally characterized a sesquiterpenoid‐based defense pathway in maize centered on α‐santalenoic acid, a pathogen‐inducible sesquiterpenoid antibiotic ...

RING finger proteins play an important role in plant adaptation to abiotic stresses. In the present study, a wild tomato (Solanum habrochaites) cold-induced RING-H2 finger gene, ShATL78L, was isolated, which has been identified as an abiotic stress ...
