Aluminum (Al) is the third most ubiquitous metal in the earth's crust. A decrease in soil pH
below 5 increases its solubility and availability. However, its impact on plants depends …

Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are natural flavan-3-ol polymers that contribute protection to plants
under biotic and abiotic stress, benefits to human health, and bitterness and astringency to …

As sessile organisms, plants constantly monitor environmental cues and respond
appropriately to modulate their growth and development. Membrane transporters act as …

Flavonoids are a biochemically diverse group of specialized metabolites in plants that are
derived from phenylalanine. While the biosynthesis of the flavonoid aglycone is highly …

Key message This review summarizes the recent updates in the area of transporters of plant
secondary metabolites, including their applied aspects in metabolic engineering of …

Anthocyanins endowing strawberry fruit red color are regulated by the MYB-bHLH-WD40
complex. By analyzing the MYBs involved in the flavonoid biosynthesis in strawberry, we …

Secondary metabolites are produced by plants and are classified based on their chemical
structure or the biosynthetic routes through which they are synthesized. Among them …

Secondary metabolites (SMs) play crucial roles in the vital functioning of plants such as
growth, development, defense, and survival via their transportation and accumulation at the …

Astringency is a dry puckering mouthfeel mainly generated by the binding of tannins with
proteins in the mouth. Tannins confer benefits such as resistance to biotic stresses and have …

C-glycosylated flavones (CGFs) are the main flavonoids in duckweed (Lemna turionifera),
known for their diverse pharmacological activities and nutritional values. However, the …
