Toxicological Analysis of the Arylnaphthalene Lignan Justicidin B Using a Caenorhabditis elegans Model Open
The screening of plant-derived compounds with anti-cancer properties is a promising strategy to meet the growing need for new, safe and effective anti-cancer drugs. Justicidin B is a plants secondary metabolite that displays anti-cancer pr…

Linum lewisii Adventitious and Hairy-Roots Cultures as Lignan Plant Factories Open
Plants synthesize specific secondary metabolites for survival, reproduction, environmental resilience, and defense. Among them, lignans are a class of polyphenols with several bioactive properties: chemopreventive, anti-inflammatory, antiv…

Optimized Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Lignans from Linum Species with Green Solvents Open
Lignans are plant phenols derived from phenylpropanoids. They play a significant role in plant defense and have features that make them appealing for pharmaceutical applications. Lignans can be obtained by plant in vitro cultures; their pr…

New Insight into Justicidin B Pathway and Production in Linum austriacum Open
Lignans are the main secondary metabolites synthetized by Linum species as plant defense compounds but they are also valuable for human health, in particular, for novel therapeutics. In this work, Linum austriacum in vitro cultures, cells …
Uniparental and transgressive expression of α-zeins in maize endosperm of o2 hybrid lines Open
The α-zein gene family encodes the most abundant storage proteins of maize (Zea mays) endosperm. Members of this family are expressed in a parent-of-origin manner. To characterize this phenomenon further, we investigated the expression of …

Distinct gene networks modulate floral induction of autonomous maize and photoperiod-dependent teosinte Open
Temperate maize was domesticated from its tropical ancestor, teosinte. Whereas temperate maize is an autonomous day-neutral plant, teosinte is an obligate short-day plant that requires uninterrupted long nights to induce flowering. Leaf-de…

Florigen-Encoding Genes of Day-Neutral and Photoperiod-Sensitive Maize Are Regulated by Different Chromatin Modifications at the Floral Transition Open
The activity of the maize (Zea mays) florigen gene ZEA CENTRORADIALIS8 (ZCN8) is associated with the floral transition in both day-neutral temperate maize and short-day (SD)-requiring tropical maize. We analyzed transcription and chromatin…
