This study investigates the role of chromatin structure in the production of artemisinin in Artemisia annua. Changes in chromatin organization were found to affect gene expression levels, leading to differences in artemisinin content. Understanding chromatin structure could provide insights into the mechanisms of artemisinin synthesis.
Researchers studied transgenic plants with suppressed putrescine methyltransferase (PMT) activity to generate anatabine. The study examines how these plants respond to topping and the impact on alkaloid biosynthesis. Understanding this can improve tobacco production and synthesis of anatabine.
This study focuses on the gene sequence of the RBCL gene in an underutilized perennial tree. The data provides valuable insights into the genetic diversity and evolution of the species, aiding scientists, breeders, and conservation efforts.
Tossers identified HpAP2 genes to study their functions in plant development, hormonal response, and stress. Findings can aid in understanding how these genes affect plant growth and survival.
