The biological function of sterol glucosides (SGs), the most abundant sterol derivatives in higher plants, remains uncertain. In an effort to improve our understanding of these membrane lipids we examined phenotypes exhibited by the roots of Arabidopsis (

An RNA-Seq analysis of the peach transcriptome with a focus on genes associated with skin colour
Red pigmentation of the skin is an important consumer trait in peach (Prunus persica). The pigment consists largely of anthocyanin. Here, a transcriptomic contrast, based on RNA-Seq technology, was drawn between a white-skinned (Feitao) and a red-skinned

Cloning and characterization of vitis vinifera UDP-glucose: Flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase, a homologue of the enzyme encoded by the maize bronze-1 locus that may primarily serve to glucosylate anthocyanidins in vivo [PDF]
We report here the cloning and optimized expression at 16 °C and the characterization of a Vitis vinifera UDP-glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase, an enzyme responsible for a late step in grapevine anthocyanin biosynthesis.
