Aromatic amino acid ammonia-lyases and aromatic amino acid 2,3-aminomutases contain the post-translationally formed prosthetic 3,5-dihydro-4-methylidene-5H-imidazol-5-one (MIO) group. MIO enzymes catalyze the stereoselective synthesis of α- or β-amino acid enantiomers, making these chemical processes environmentally friendly and affordable. Characterization of novel inhibitors enables structura...

Pinus thunbergii (P. thunbergii) is a gymnosperm with important economic and ecological value. In order to investigate the diagnosis defense mechanism of P. against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (the pinewood nematode, PWN), needles seedlings on fifth day after being infected by PWN were taken as samples for transcriptome sequencing analysis. Compared control group, 647 genes differentially expres...

Resistance responses in the leaves of eight rose genotypes, Knock Out (highly resistant), Arka Nishkant (moderately R. multiflora susceptible), Swadesh IIHRR 13-4 (susceptible), Parimala indica (susceptible) and 4-15-12 exhibiting varied levels resistance against black spot were investigated post artificial inoculation with pathogen, Diplocarpon rosae. There was consistent increase activities d...

Abstract Chiral phenylglycinol is a very important chemical in the pharmaceutical manufacturing. Current methods for synthesis of chiral often suffered from unsatisfied selectivity, low product yield and using non-renewable resourced substrates, then remain grand challenge. Design construction synthetic microbial consortia promising strategy to convert bio-based materials into high value-added ...

Pea (Pisum sativum L. cv Alcan) endocarp tissue challenged with an incompatible fungal pathogen, Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli or fungal elicitors results in the induction of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes and the accumulation of pisatin, a phytoalexin. Essentially the same response occurs in pea tissue exposed to DNA-specific agents that crosslink or intercalate DNA. In this study, the effe...
