Reassessing Transketolase Assays: Methodological Considerations for Detecting Functional Thiamine Deficiency

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1557, Issue 1, March 2026.
Transketolase (TKT) activity provides a functional measure of thiamine status by integrating cofactor availability, enzyme abundance, and catalytic capacity. TKT catalyzes thiamine diphosphate (TDP)‐dependent reactions in the nonoxidative pentose‐phosphate pathway and requires magnesium for optimal activity.

Engineering 2‐Pyrone‐4,6‐Dicarboxylic Acid Production Reveals Metabolic Plasticity of Poplar

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1398-1413, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Woody biomass is a promising source of fermentable sugars for biofuels and bio‐based chemicals, but its industrial use is limited by the costly biorefinery process. A viable strategy to reduce costs involves enhancing both biomass processability and the generation of high‐value co‐products.

Moderate Regulation of SBEIIb Gene Expression by Editing Cis‐Regulatory Elements Enhances the Resistant Starch Content in Rice

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1635-1648, March 2026.
ABSTRACT As the staple food of over half the world's population, rice with a high resistant starch (RS) content may be beneficial in the dietary prevention of diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Mutating key enzymes in starch metabolism to increase the RS content has been successful in other crops.

Biochemical characterization of xyloglucan galactosyltransferases MUR3 and XLT2 from Spirodela polyrhiza

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.
SUMMARY Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are the primary enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of the complex polysaccharides in plant cell walls. Given the important role of GTs in plants, it is necessary to undertake their functional characterization to better understand plant cell wall synthesis pathways to develop improved feedstocks for efficient ...

Evidence for rapid hydrolysis of shoot‐derived sucrose using an ultrasensitive ratiometric matryoshka‐type MGlucoMeter sensor

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.
Significance Statement MGlucoMeter, a high‐sensitivity ratiometric genetically encoded sensor, can report changes in glucose levels in live cells and organisms. Here, MGlucoMeter detected the hydrolysis of leaf‐derived sucrose in the root tip unloading zone.
