Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana expressing a barley UDP-glucosyltransferase exhibit resistance to the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2012
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum, is a devastating disease of small grain cereal crops. FHB causes yield reductions and contamination of grain with trichothecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON). DON inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells and acts as a virulence factor during fungal pathogenesis, therefore ...

Biochemical and molecular characterization of a flavonoid 3-O-glycosyltransferase responsible for anthocyanins and flavonols biosynthesis in Freesia hybrida

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The glycosylation of flavonoids increases their solubility and stability in plants. Flowers accumulate anthocyanidin and flavonol glycosides which are synthesized by UDP-sugar flavonoid glycosyltransferases (UFGTs).

A plant‐centric view of class B flavin‐dependent monooxygenase evolution and diversity

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY Flavin‐dependent monooxygenases (FMOs) are ancient enzymes present throughout all kingdoms of life. FMOs utilize flavin‐based cofactors to incorporate an oxygen atom into their substrate, altering its chemical properties. Class B FMOs are enriched throughout the plant kingdom, catalyzing essential reactions for plant development and defense ...

Selected monosaccharides in cancer: Metabolic routing, post‐translational modification, immunity and therapeutic potential

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
Glucose, galactose, mannose and fructose can either fuel or fight tumours by rewiring metabolism and immunity. Their context‐dependent double‐edged nature suggests that precisely targeted monosaccharide interventions could become a new pillar of precision oncology.

Nitrogen Status Rewires Transcriptional Regulation of Dhurrin, a Dual‐Purpose Defense Metabolite in Sorghum bicolor

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Dhurrin, a cyanogenic glucoside, plays an important role in Sorghum bicolor physiology and defense. The concentration of dhurrin in sorghum is influenced by both nitrogen status and stage of plant organ development. While nitrogen resupply activates the expression of genes for dhurrin biosynthesis, the molecular mechanisms underlying this ...
