Breeding and Engineering Trees to Accumulate High Levels of Terpene Metabolites for Plant Defense and Renewable Chemicals

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plants evolved the capacity to synthesize highly diverse sets of secondary metabolites which are important for plant adaptation and health. In forest trees, many classes of compounds, particularly ones related to defense against insects, fungi, and ...

An unbiased approach elucidates variation in (S)-(+)-linalool, a context-specific mediator of a tri-trophic interaction in wild tobacco

, 2019
Plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) mediate many interactions, and the function of common VOCs is especially likely to depend on ecological context.

Water-based peeling of thin hydrophobic films

, 2017
Inks of permanent markers and water-proof cosmetics create elastic thin films upon application on a surface. Such adhesive materials are deliberately designed to exhibit water-repellent behavior. Therefore, patterns made up of these inks become resistant

Biosynthesis of the Red Algal Diterpene Peyssonnosol in Bacteria

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Two terpene synthases derived from Anaerolineae bacteria catalyse the biosynthesis of peyssonnosene‐type diterpenes from red algae. Site‐directed mutagenesis enabled a partial functional switch, resulting in the formation of additional byproducts. The intricate cyclisation mechanisms were investigated through isotopic labelling experiments and density ...

Characterization of a Unique Pair of Ferredoxin and Ferredoxin NADP⁺ Reductase Isoforms That Operates in Non-Photosynthetic Glandular Trichomes

Plants
Our recent investigations indicated that isoforms of ferredoxin (Fd) and ferredoxin NADP+ reductase (FNR) play essential roles for the reductive steps of the 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway of terpenoid biosynthesis in peppermint ...

Tuberculosis Terpene Targets

Chemistry & Biology, 2015
In this issue, Young, Moody, and colleagues report the discovery of an isomer of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) virulence factor 1-tuberculosinyl adenosine, N(6)-tuberculosinyl adenosine, in mice infected with tuberculosis. These Mtb-derived terpene compounds may serve as sensitive and specific biomarkers of infection.
