In Arabidopsis thaliana, silencing of hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA shikimate/quinate
hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HCT), a lignin biosynthetic gene, results in a strong reduction …

Summary Glycosyltransferases (GTs)(EC 2.4. xy) catalyze the transfer of sugar moieties to a
wide range of acceptor molecules, such as sugars, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, antibiotics …

Flower color, one of the most important quality traits for ornamental plants, is of great
adaptive significance during the natural evolution process of plants. Moreover, flower color …

For almost a decade, our knowledge on the organisation of the family 1 UDP‐
glycosyltransferases (UGTs) has been limited to the model plant A. thaliana. The availability …

Nearly 100 genes and functional polymorphisms underlying natural variation in plant
development and physiology have been identified. In crop plants, these include genes …

Glycosylation is a widespread modification of plant secondary metabolites. It is involved in
various functions, including the regulation of hormone homeostasis, the detoxification of …

Systemic resistance induced in plants by nonpathogenic rhizobacteria is typically effective
against multiple pathogens. Here, we show that root-colonizing Pseudomonas fluorescens …

Arabidopsis thaliana is the first model plant, the genome of which has been sequenced. In
general, intensive studies on this model plant over the past nearly 30 years have led to …

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the coinage of the term metabolome [SG Oliver et
al., Trends Biotech. 16, 373–378 (1998)]. As the field rapidly advances, it is important to take …

Exposure of Arabidopsis to low temperatures results in cold acclimation where freezing
tolerance is enhanced. To achieve a wider view of the role of transcriptome to biochemical …
