Metabolome and transcriptome profiling of root chicory provide insights into laticifer development and specialized metabolism Open
Chicory roots produce inulin, a dietary fiber, as well as large quantities of bitter sesquiterpene lactones (STLs), which have valuable biological activities. In an effort to understand the compartmentalization of metabolism within chicory…

A single <span>promoter‐TALE</span> system for tissue‐specific and tuneable expression of multiple genes in rice Open
Summary In biological discovery and engineering research, there is a need to spatially and/or temporally regulate transgene expression. However, the limited availability of promoter sequences that are uniquely active in specific tissue‐typ…

Piper nigrum CYP719A37 Catalyzes the Decisive Methylenedioxy Bridge Formation in Piperine Biosynthesis Open
Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is among the world’s most popular spices. Its pungent principle, piperine, has already been identified 200 years ago, yet the biosynthesis of piperine in black pepper remains largely enigmatic. In this report we…

A single cytochrome P450 oxidase from <i>Solanum habrochaites</i> sequentially oxidizes 7‐<i>epi</i>‐zingiberene to derivatives toxic to whiteflies and various microorganisms Open
Summary Secretions from glandular trichomes potentially protect plants against a variety of aggressors. In the tomato clade of the Solanum genus, glandular trichomes of wild species produce a rich source of chemical diversity at the leaf s…

Two novel 7-<i>epi</i>-zingiberene derivatives with biological activity from<i>Solanum habrochaites</i>are produced by a single cytochrome P450 monooxygenase Open
Secretions from glandular trichomes potentially protect the plant against a variety of aggressors. In the tomato genus, wild species constitute a rich source of chemical diversity produced at the leaf surface by glandular trichomes. Previo…

A piperic acid CoA ligase produces a putative precursor of piperine, the pungent principle from black pepper fruits Open
Summary Black pepper ( Piper nigrum L.) is known for its high content of piperine, a cinnamoyl amide derivative regarded as largely responsible for the pungent taste of this widely used spice. Despite its long history and worldwide use, th…

Phosphorylation‐dependent control of an RNA granule‐localized protein that fine‐tunes defence gene expression at a post‐transcriptional level Open
Summary Mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are key signalling modules of plant defence responses to pathogen‐associated molecular patterns [PAMPs; e.g. the bacterial peptide flagellin (flg22)]. Tandem zinc finger protein 9 (T…

Medicago TERPENE SYNTHASE 10 Is Involved in Defense Against an Oomycete Root Pathogen Open
In nature, plants interact with numerous beneficial or pathogenic soil-borne microorganisms. Plants have developed various defense strategies to expel pathogenic microbes, some of which function soon after pathogen infection. We used Me…

Tomato MYB21 Acts in Ovules to Mediate Jasmonate-Regulated Fertility Open
The function of the plant hormone jasmonic acid (JA) in the development of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) flowers was analyzed with a mutant defective in JA perception (jasmonate-insensitive1-1, jai1-1). In contrast wit…

Multi-Omics of Tomato Glandular Trichomes Reveals Distinct Features of Central Carbon Metabolism Supporting High Productivity of Specialized Metabolites Open
Glandular trichomes are metabolic cell factories with the capacity to produce large quantities of secondary metabolites. Little is known about the connection between central carbon metabolism and metabolic productivity for secondary metabo…
