Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and Characterization of AaWRKY1, an Artemisia annua Transcription Factor that Regulates the Amorpha-4,11-diene Synthase Gene, a Key Gene of Artemisinin Biosynthesis
Dongming Ma,Gaobin Pu,Caiyan Lei,Lanqing Ma,Huahong Wang,Yanwu Guo,Jianlin Chen,Zhigao Du,Hong Wang,Guo-Feng Li,Hechun Ye,Benye Liu +11 more
TL;DR: Transient expression experiments in agroinfiltrated Nicotiana benthamiana and A. annua leaves showed that AaWRKY1 protein transactivated the ADSpro2 promoter activity by binding to the W-box of the promoter; disruption of theW-box abolished the activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salicylic acid activates artemisinin biosynthesis in Artemisia annua L.
TL;DR: Results suggest that salicylic acid induces artemisinin biosynthesis in Artemisia annua L. annua in at least two ways: by increasing the conversion of dihydroartemisinic acid into artemis inin caused by the burst of ROS, and by up-regulating the expression of genes involved in artemisine biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Artemisinin biosynthesis in growing plants of Artemisia annua. A 13CO2 study.

TL;DR: The isotopologue data confirm the previously proposed mechanisms for the cyclization of (E,E)-FPP to amorphadiene and its oxidative conversion to artemisinin and support deprotonation of a terminal allyl cation intermediate as the final step in the enzymatic conversion of FPP to amorpha-4,11-diene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of the pentacyclic triterpenoid biosynthetic pathway in Catharanthus roseus.
TL;DR: Results suggest that CrAS and CrAO are involved in the pentacyclic triterpene biosynthesis in C. roseus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benzophenone synthase and chalcone synthase from Hypericum androsaemum cell cultures : cDNA cloning, functional expression, and site-directed mutagenesis of two polyketide synthases
TL;DR: Benzophenone derivatives, such as polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinols and xanthones, are biologically active secondary metabolites that are catalyzed by benzophenone synthase that has been cloned from cell cultures of Hypericum androsaemum and is grouped together with the PKSs that functionally differ from CHS.
