Chromosome‐level genome and methylome of vine tea suggest roles for tandem duplication and CHH hypomethylation in high dihydromyricetin accumulation

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
A chromosome‐level genome assembly and single‐base resolution methylome of vine tea (Nekemias grossedentata) reveal that lineage‐specific tandem duplications of dihydromyricetin (DHM) biosynthetic genes (NgCHS and NgF3′5′ H) have expanded their copy numbers, providing the genetic basis for high DHM flux.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...
