Journal ArticleDOI

myo-inositol oxygenase offers a possible entry point into plant ascorbate biosynthesis.

TL;DR: Molecular and biochemical evidence for a possible biosynthetic route using myo-inositol (MI) as the initial substrate is presented, suggesting the role of MI in AsA biosynthesis and the potential for using this gene for the agronomic and nutritional enhancement of crops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Camptothecin, over four decades of surprising findings.

TL;DR: The development of hairy root cultures of O. pumila and C. acuminata, and the cloning and characterization of genes encoding key enzymes of the pathway leading to CPT formation in plants has opened new possibilities to propose alternative and more sustainable production systems for this important alkaloid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Camptothecin and 10-hydroxycamptothecin from Camptotheca acuminata hairy roots

TL;DR: Hairy root cultures of C. acuminata were established from tissue transformed with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains ATCC 15834 and R-1000 and synthesized the alkaloids at levels equal to, and sometimes greater than, the roots in planta, i.e., 1.0 and 0.15 mg/g dry weight for CPT and the HCPT, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

δ-Endotoxins induce cation channels in Spodoptera frugiperda brush border membranes in suspension and in planar lipid bilayers

TL;DR: Bacillus thuringiensis δ‐endotoxins induce an increase in cation membrane permeability involving ion channels in BBMV‐containing functional receptors.
