Elucidation of cladofulvin biosynthesis reveals a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase required for anthraquinone dimerization
Scott A. Griffiths,Carl H. Mesarich,Carl H. Mesarich,Benedetta Saccomanno,Abraham Vaisberg,Pierre J. G. M. de Wit,Russell J. Cox,Russell J. Cox,Jérôme Collemare,Jérôme Collemare +9 more
TL;DR: The elucidation of the biosynthesis of cladofulvin, an asymmetrical homodimer of nataloe-emodin produced by the fungus Cladosporium fulvum, is reported, which results in increased cytotoxicity toward a range of cancer cell lines and sheds light on the enzymatic mechanisms involved in anthraquinone dimerization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic Investigation of FLOWERING LOCUS T-Like Poaceae Gene Families Identifies the Short-Day Expressed Flowering Pathway Gene, TaFT3 in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Joanna Halliwell,Philippa Borrill,Anna Gordon,Radoslaw M. Kowalczyk,Marina L. Pagano,Benedetta Saccomanno,Alison R. Bentley,Cristobal Uauy,Cristobal Uauy,James Cockram +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the FT gene families in six Poaceae species, identifying novel members in all taxa investigated, as well as FT3 homoeologues from the A, B and D genomes of hexaploid (TaFT3) and tetraploid wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI
A carbohydrate-binding protein, B-GRANULE CONTENT 1, influences starch granule size distribution in a dose-dependent manner in polyploid wheat.
Tansy Chia,Marcella Chirico,Robert King,Ricardo H. Ramirez-Gonzalez,Benedetta Saccomanno,David Seung,James Simmonds,Martin Trick,Cristobal Uauy,Tamara Verhoeven,Kay Trafford +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that BGC1 participates in controlling B-type starch granule initiation in Triticeae endosperm and that its precise effect on granule size and number varies with gene dose and stage of development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth strategy, phylogeny and stoichiometry determine the allelopathic potential of native and non-native plants
Bart M. C. Grutters,Benedetta Saccomanno,Elisabeth M. Gross,Dedmer B. Van de Waal,Ellen Van Donk,Elisabeth S. Bakker +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that eudicot plant species with an emergent growth strategy and high plant C:P ratio exhibit a high allelopathic potential, and unless non-native plant species match this potential, they generally have a similar allelopathy potential as natives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfer of a starch phenotype from wild wheat to bread wheat by deletion of a locus controlling B-type starch granule content
Tansy Chia,Nikolai M. Adamski,Benedetta Saccomanno,Andy Greenland,Alastair Nash,Cristobal Uauy,Kay Trafford +6 more
TL;DR: The production and characterization of bread wheat with grains that lack small B-type starch granules, have near-normal weight and starch content, and have novel grain and starch physicochemical properties are described.
