Engineering of the Flavone Rutinoside Biosynthetic Pathway Enables Production of Diosmin, a Venoactive Compound in Solanum lycopersicum and Nicotiana tabacum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1936-1949, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Diosmin is often used as a dietary supplement, and it is sometimes used to make phlebotropic drugs for venous diseases. Traditionally, diosmin is obtained by the dehydrogenation of the flavanone glycoside hesperidin through chemical semisynthesis.

Genome and Single‐Cell Transcriptome Reveal the Evolution of Holoparasitic Plants: A Case Study of Cistanche deserticola

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2226-2240, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2541-2558, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.

Expression of a Bacterial Trehalose 6‐Phosphate Synthase Gene otsA in Camelina sativa Seeds Promotes the Channelling of Carbon Towards Oil Accumulation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2510-2521, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Improving seed oil yield is essential for developing Camelina sativa as a sustainable biofuel crop. Fatty acid synthesis depends on the production of acetyl‐CoA from photosynthetically derived sugars. Trehalose 6‐phosphate (T6P), a proxy for sucrose availability, can link sugar status to plant growth and development. Synthesised by trehalose 6‐

Convergent Evolution and De Novo Reconstitution of Apiin Biosynthesis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2562-2575, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Apiin, an active flavonoid apioside, occurs in phylogenetically distant plants, such as parsley and chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Its sporadic distribution suggests the existence of convergent apiin biosynthesis; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this convergence remain unclear.
