Heat-responsive MaHSF11 transcriptional activator positively regulates flavonol biosynthesis and flavonoid B-ring hydroxylation in banana


Plant flavonols, a group pf widely distributed and diverse plant pigments, act primarily as UV absorbers, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers, and phytoalexins, and they contribute to biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Banana (Musa acuminata),

Isopropylmalate synthase regulatory domain removal abolishes feedback regulation at the expense of leucine homeostasis in plants


Feedback inhibition loops are frequent in amino acid biosynthetic pathways to tightly regulate the accumulation of the end products. Greater knowledge of these mechanisms is important for understanding metabolic networks and should find application with plant breeders, for example, to avoid limitations on the production of amino acids essential for humans in crop plants.

A lipid synthase maintains metabolic flux for jasmonate synthesis to regulate root growth and phosphate homeostasis

Plants require phosphate (Pi) for proper growth and development but often face scarcity of this vital nutrient in the soil. Pi starvation triggers membrane lipid remodeling to utilize the membrane phospholipid-bound Pi in plants. In this process, phospholipids are replaced by non-Pi-containing galactolipids (monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, MGDG; digalactosyldiacylglycerol, DGDG) and sulfolipids.
