Identification and Characterization of DcUSAGT1, a UDP-Glucose: Sinapic Acid Glucosyltransferase from Purple Carrot Taproots. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Purple carrots accumulate abundant cyanidin-based anthocyanins in taproots. UDP-glucose: sinapic acid glucosyltransferase (USAGT) can transfer the glucose moiety to the carboxyl group of sinapic acid thereby forming the ester bond between the carboxyl-C ...

Transcriptomic and Metabolic Insight Into Flavonoid Biosynthesis Underlying Black and Yellow Seed Coat Color Variation in Soybean (Glycine max)

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max) seed coat color variation is determined by the accumulation of flavonoid‐derived pigments, although the molecular mechanisms underlying this trait remain poorly understood. This study integrated RNA sequencing (RNA‐Seq) and high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)–based metabolite measurements to investigate black ...

Estrone‐α‐2‐Deoxy‐Glucoside as a Targeted Therapy for Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer: Aromatase Inhibition and Cytotoxicity

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.
Estrone‐α‐2DG, synthesized via a one‐pot multi‐enzyme system, selectively inhibits aromatase (IC50 = 0.101μM) and triple negative breast cancer cells (IC50 = 20.46 μM), offering a dual function therapeutic scaffold. ABSTRACT Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are vital in the treatment of estrogen‐dependent breast cancer, especially in postmenopausal women. In

A single‐MYB transcription factor GmMYB331 regulates seed oil accumulation and seed size/weight in soybean

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 470-485, February 2026.
The soybean transcription factor GmMYB331 regulates oil content and seed size. Moderate expression of GmMYB331 significantly enhanced seed oil accumulation, and strong expression promoted increased seed size. This research provides a genetic resource and theoretical foundation for high‐yield and quality breeding in soybean.

Overexpression of a Tonoplast Malate Transporter Gene Leads to Enhanced Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Apple

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 620-638, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Anthocyanins, a group of secondary metabolites synthesised in the phenylpropanoid pathway, largely determine the peel colour of fleshy fruits, but it is not known if their synthesis is linked to vacuolar malate accumulation that underlies fruit acidity.

Manipulation of the Unfolded Protein Response by Intracellular Bacterial Pathogens: Mechanisms of ER Hijacking and Therapeutic Implications

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 2, 31 January 2026.
This review illustrates how intracellular bacterial pathogens—such as Brucella, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Legionella—secrete effector proteins that specifically target the IRE1α, PERK, and ATF6 branches of the unfolded protein response (UPR) to hijack ER stress signaling.

Genome-wide identification and functional analysis of UGT genes reveal multiple flavonoid 3-O-glycosyltransferases synergistically enhancing cold tolerance in Allium fistulosum

Scientia Horticulturae
Flavonoids, as core antioxidants in plant secondary metabolism, are crucial for abiotic stress responses and bioactive compound development. UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) catalyze the glycosylation of flavonoids, a key structural modification that ...

Positioning of the SCRAMBLED receptor requires UDP-Glc:sterol glucosyltransferase 80B1 in Arabidopsis roots

Scientific Reports, 2017
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 (
