Redesign and reconstruction of a steviol-biosynthetic pathway for enhanced production of steviol in Escherichia coli

Microbial Cell Factories, 2020
Background Steviol glycosides such as stevioside have attracted the attention of the food and beverage industry. Recently, efforts were made to produce these natural sweeteners in microorganisms using metabolic engineering. Nonetheless, the steviol titer

New Diterpene Glycosides from Bertoni: Rebaudioside VIII and Rebaudioside IXd

Natural Product Communications, 2018
With our interest of new diterpene glycosides with better taste profile than Rebaudioside M, we isolated and characterized two steviol glycosides with three additional glucose attached at the C-13 of Rebaudioside M or Rebaudioside D from an extract of ...

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

Characterizing glycosyltransferases by a combination of sequencing platforms applied to the leaf tissues of Stevia rebaudiana

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) is considered one of the most valuable plants because of the steviol glycosides (SGs) that can be extracted from its leaves.

Integrated metabolite profiling and transcriptome analysis unraveling mechanism of RC catabolism in Paenarthrobacter ilicis CR5301

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Steviol glycosides are ideal sweeteners that are widely used in food, medicine, and cosmetics. Rebaudioside C (RC) is considered to be the third most abundant steviol glycoside, which has a bitter aftertaste that limits its application.

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...
