De novo transcriptome analysis of Dysoxylum binectariferum to unravel the biosynthesis of pharmaceutically relevant specialized metabolites

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The tropical tree, D. binectariferum, is a prominent source of chromone alkaloid rohitukine, which is used in the semi-syntheses of anticancer molecules such as flavopiridol and P-276-00.

Hybridization Drives Trait Integration in Telomere‐To‐Telomere Apocynum Genomes

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hybridization drives plant adaptation, yet its genomic mechanisms in non‐model perennials remain elusive. Apocynum species thrive in extreme saline‐alkaline environments. This study establishes A. pictum (APZ) as a homoploid hybrid of A. venetum (AVX) and A. hendersonii (AHG), exemplifying hybrid‐driven resilience.

Off‐the‐shelf image analysis models outperform human visual assessment in identifying genes controlling seed color variation in sorghum

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Seed color is a complex phenotype linked to both the impact of grains on human health and consumer acceptance of new crop varieties. Today, seed color is often quantified via qualitative human assessment or biochemical assays for specific colored metabolites.

Comprehensive isolation and expression analysis of the flavonoid biosynthesis-related genes in Tricyrtis spp.

Biologia Plantarum, 2018
Tricyrtis spp., which belong to the family Liliaceae, produce unique flowers, whose tepals have many reddish-purple spots. Although elucidation of a molecular mechanism of tepal spot formation and molecular breeding for flower colour alteration are ...

A Role for the Plastidial GPT2 Translocator in the Modulation of Lignin Biosynthesis

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 9, Page 6458-6472, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Engineering plants with reduced lignin content can result in pleiotropic growth defects. In stems of Arabidopsis plants with reduced expression of hydroxycinnamoyl CoA: shikimate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HCT), the plastidial glucose 6‐phosphate: phosphate co‐transporter GPT2 is highly overexpressed, and this coincides with reduced lignin ...

Integrative Analyses of Metabolome and Transcriptome Reveals Apocarotenoid and Flavonoid Biosynthesis During Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) Stigmas Development

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
During the development of saffron stigmas, crocetin and flavonoids were primarily synthesized in the early red stage (S1), while crocins were synthesized in the late red stage (S2). The biosynthesis pathways of ABA and picrocrocin were particularly active at anthesis (S3).

The Antiviral Activity of Polyphenols

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 69, Issue 15, August 2025.
Polyphenols demonstrate remarkable antiviral properties by effectively disrupting multiple biochemical processes essential for viral replication. ABSTRACT Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by a large variety of plants. These compounds that comprise the class of phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, coumarins, flavonoids, and tannins have a ...
