Research conducted by the University of Florida and the University of California used targeted metabolomics in pomegranates to profile essential primary and secondary metabolites, including organic ...

Arabidopsis may seem like a simple plant, but at the University of Missouri, plant biochemist Jay Thelen is using it as a ...

Our data expand on known WOX5 functions, such as the regulation of differentiation, cell division, and auxin biosynthesis. We also uncover unexpected WOX5-regulated pathways involved in nitrate ...

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena are investigating the previously largely unknown biosynthetic pathway that leads to the formation of cardenolides in plants. In ...

As one of the most potent defense compounds in Arabidopsis thaliana, camalexin can be rapidly induced by bacterial and fungal infections. Though several transcription factors controlling camalexin ...

A novel bivalent chromatin associates with rapid induction of camalexin biosynthesis genes in response to a pathogen signal in Arabidopsis eLife 10:e69508.

To identify the missing pieces of the pathway, the researchers transiently expressed candidate genes in tobacco plants.

To test this possibility, the levels of free methionine increased by the seed-specific expression of genes related to methionine biosynthesis pathway. The expression of these genes led to a range ...

In senescing Arabidopsis leaves, many ABA and SA biosynthesis‐related genes are upregulated 11. ABA is a sesquiterpenoid, and its biosynthetic genes have been cloned 12. The NCEDs (9‐ cis ...

Transcriptome analysis with the aid of RNA-seq in the absence of oxidative stress revealed that the incubation of Arabidopsis thaliana cell suspension cultures (ACSC) with Ln resulted in the ...
