Background and Aims Viticulture will be particularly affected by increasing drought heat waves in the future. It is of interest to find traits that indicate stress before symptoms become apparent. We investigated whether commonly used traits, proline abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis, are suitable markers for heat, or combined gene expression key enzymes ABA biosynthesis regulated grapevine leav...

This review gives a brief account on the current status of enediyne biosynthesis and the prospective of applying combinatorial biosynthesis methods to the enediyne system for novel analog production. Methods for cloning enediyne biosynthetic gene clusters are first reviewed. A unified paradigm for enediyne biosynthesis, characterized with (a) the enediyne PKS, (b) the enediyne PKS accessory enz...

The model of T4 phage, Lambda and E. coli is often used in research on virus-host interactions. This paper reports for the first time thermodynamic driving force biosynthesis, catabolism metabolism three organisms, M9 medium. Moreover, influence activities nutrients metabolic products analyzed. All organisms were found to have very similar Gibbs energies metabolism. since they share same catabo...

Background: Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using microorganisms, enzymes, and plant extracts is regarded as an alternative to chemical methods. Microalgae appear to be an efficient biological platform for nanoparticle synthesis as they grow rapidly and produce large biomass at lower cost. Objectives: The possibility of silver nanoparticles biosynthesisby freshwater green microalgae, Chlamydomona...

Alternaria sp. MG1, an endophytic fungus previously isolated from Merlot grape, produces resveratrol from glucose, showing similar metabolic flux to the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, currently found solely in plants. In order to identify the resveratrol biosynthesis pathway in this strain at the gene level, de novo transcriptome sequencing was conducted using Illumina paired-end sequenc...

Isolation of CYP72A154, a gene involved in glycyrrhizin biosynthesis pathway, Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (Iranian licorice)

Rates of incorporation of [4,5-(3)H]leucine into insulin plus proinsulin, designated ;(pro)insulin', and total protein in rat pancreatic islets were measured. Glucose stimulates rates of total protein and (pro)insulin biosynthesis, but (pro)insulin biosynthesis is stimulated preferentially. Mannose and N-acetylglucosamine also stimulate (pro)insulin and total protein biosynthesis; inosine and d...

Light serves as a crucial environmental cue which modulates plant growth and development, is controlled by multiple photoreceptors including the primary red light photoreceptor, phytochrome B (phyB). The signaling mechanism of phyB involves direct interactions with group basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors, PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORS (PIFs), negative regulators photomorphog...
