Isoprenoids represent the oldest class of known low molecular-mass natural products
synthesized by plants. Their biogenesis in plastids, mitochondria and the endoplasmic …

Phospholipids are major components of the cellular membranes present in all living
organisms. They typically form a lipid bilayer that embroiders the cell or cellular organelles …

Abstract l-Galactono-1, 4-lactone dehydrogenase (EC 1.3. 2.3) catalyzes the last step in the
main pathway of vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) biosynthesis in higher plants. In this study, we …

Abstract In Northern Europe, sowing maize one‐month earlier than current agricultural
practices may lead to moderate chilling damage. However, studies of the metabolic …

To reveal the molecular mechanism underlying peel colouration, carotenoid metabolites and
the transcriptome were jointly analysed in zucchini peels with three different colours: light …

Chlorophylls (Chls) are crucial for capturing light energy for photosynthesis. Although
several genes responsible for Chl biosynthesis were characterized in rice (Oryza sativa), the …

Chlorophyll (Chl) is essential for light harvesting and energy transduction in photosynthesis.
The Chl biosynthesis pathway in higher plants is complex and is mediated by more than 17 …

Many plant processes depend on differential gene expression, which is generally controlled
by complex proteins called transcription factors (TFs). In peach, 1533 TFs have been …

The presence of solar radiation is one of the most important environmental factors, which is
required for the optimal growth and development of plants. The absence of it (eg in the night …

Geranylgeranyl reductase (CHL P) catalyzes the reduction of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to
phytyl diphosphate, and provides phytol for both Chlorophyll (Chl) and tocopherol synthesis …
