Tropane alkaloids (TA) are valuable secondary plant metabolites which are mostly found in
high concentrations in the Solanaceae and Erythroxylaceae families. The TAs, which are …

Oxidative cyclizations are important transformations that occur widely during natural product
biosynthesis. The transformations from acyclic precursors to cyclized products can afford …

Oxidative enzymes catalyze many different reactions in plant metabolism. Among this suite
of enzymes are the 2-oxoglutarate/Fe (II)-dependent dioxygenases (2-ODDs). Cytochromes …

Scopolamine is a pharmaceutically important tropane alkaloid extensively used as an
anticholinergic agent. Here, we report the simultaneous introduction and overexpression of …

The tropane alkaloid scopolamine is a medicinally important anticholinergic drug present in
several solanaceous plants. Hyoscyamine 6 beta-hydroxylase (EC 1.14. 11.11) catalyzes …

The biosynthesis of alkaloid groups for which the enzymes and genes involved have been
characterized is reviewed in the following sections: biosynthetic enzymes and genes …

Plant secondary metabolism is an economically important source of fine chemicals, such as
drugs, insecticides, dyes, flavours, and fragrances. Moreover, important traits of plants such …

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is an oxygen-sensitive dimeric transcription factor that
responds to pathophysiologically low O2 tensions via up-regulation, which leads to an …

Hyoscyamine 6β-hydroxylase catalyses the oxidative reactions in the biosynthetic pathway
leading from hyoscyamine to scopolamine. The hydroxylase gene of Hyoscyamus niger was …

This study examined the effects of inoculation with 2 rhizobacteria strains, Pseudomonas
putida (PP) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (PF), on growth parameters, chlorophyll, proline …
