Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Humans and Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus share numerous homologous genes, including collagens and collagen-modifying enzymes. To explore this homology, we performed a genome-wide comparison between human and mimivirus using DELTA-BLAST (Domain ...

Almost 200 years of anthocyanin research: What we know, what we assume and what remains unknown
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Nearly 200 years of anthocyanin research reveal a well‐understood anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway. However, there are still open questions regarding its evolution, functions and ecological significance. Abstract Flavonoids are frequently presented as health‐beneficial plant metabolites, and their subclass anthocyanins is best known for striking flower

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 7558-7574, October 2026.ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Structure of the UDP-Glucosyltransferase GtfB That Modifies the Heptapeptide Aglycone in the Biosynthesis of Vancomycin Group Antibiotics [PDF]
Structure, 2001 Members of the vancomycin group of glycopeptide antibiotics have an oxidatively crosslinked heptapeptide scaffold decorated at the hydroxyl groups of 4-OH-Phegly4 or beta-OH-Tyr6 with mono- (residue 6) or disaccharides (residue 4). The disaccharide in vancomycin itself is L-vancosamine-1,2-glucose, and in chloroeremomycin it is L-4-epi-vancosamine-1,2 ...

Structural and Biochemical Characterization of UDP-glucose: Glycoprotein Glucosyltransferase [PDF]
, 2016 Endoplasmic reticulum quality control is a crucial process in eukaryotic cells to ensure glycoprotein folding. It utilizes N-glycan modification as an indicator of glycoprotein folding status.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.We present a chromosome‐level genome assembly of Siraitia grosvenorii and, through comparative genomics, uncover a conserved UGT73 tandem array driving triterpenoid saponin diversification in Cucurbitaceae. Crystalized SgUGT73AM30 further reveals the regioselectivity mechanism underlying its catalytic activity.

Biochemistry, 2017 Family 1 UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) in plants primarily form glucose conjugates of small molecules and, besides other functions, play a role in detoxification of xenobiotics. Indeed, overexpression of a barley UGT in wheat has been shown to control Fusarium head blight, which is a plant disease of global significance that leads to reduced crop ...
