Molecular Biology of Chili Pepper Anthocyanin Biosynthesis
Chili pepper (Capsicum spp.) is an important horticultural crop worldwide. Chili pepper fruits from different Capsicum species have been highly consumed in Mexico since pre-Columbian times. Some Capsicum species synthesize and accumulate anthocyanins in different tissues and organs. Although the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway has been established for different plant species, very few studies ...
متن کاملMolecular biology of mycotoxin biosynthesis.
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by many important phytopathogenic and food spoilage fungi including Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium species. The toxicity of four of the most agriculturally important mycotoxins (the trichothecenes, and the polyketide-derived mycotoxins; aflatoxins, fumonisins and sterigmatocystin) are discussed and their chemical structure described. The step...
متن کاملCombinatorial biosynthesis of medicinal plant secondary metabolites.
Combinatorial biosynthesis is a new tool in the generation of novel natural products and for the production of rare and expensive natural products. The basic concept is combining metabolic pathways in different organisms on a genetic level. As a consequence heterologous organisms provide precursors from their own primary and secondary metabolism that are metabolised to the desired secondary pro...
متن کاملGenetic Engineering of Plant Secondary Metabolism'
The ubiC gene of Escherichia coli encodes chorismate pyruvatelyase, an enzyme that converts chorismate into 4-hydroxybenzoate (4HB) and is not normally present in plants. The ubiC gene was expressed in Nicofiana tabacum L. plants under control of a constitutive plant promoter. The gene product was targeted into the plastid by fusing it to the sequence for the chloroplast transit peptide of the ...
متن کاملSpecial Section: Plant Molecular Biology
Over the last century, plant biology has made remarkable progress, reflected in its greatly improved journals and textbooks. This article summarizes some historically important developments in the study of plant photoreceptors, especially the redabsorbing phytochromes and blue-absorbing flavoproteins, in phytohormones, in cell and tissue culture and in circadian rhythms. Attention is drawn to t...
