Journal ArticleDOI
Earlier flowering induced by over-expression of CO gene does not accompany increase of artemisinin biosynthesis in Artemisia annua.
TL;DR: The results show that the usually observed increase of artemisinin content before plant flowering under natural conditions is not a direct consequence of flowering itself, and perhaps there is even no direct linkage between flowering and art Artemisinin biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Single Amino Acid Substitution Converts Benzophenone Synthase into Phenylpyrone Synthase
TL;DR: A point mutation in the active site cavity transformed BPS into a functional phenylpyrone synthase (PPS), a promising biotechnological tool for manipulating benzoate-primed biosynthetic pathways to produce novel compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical characterization and identification of a cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase from Artemisia annua
Xing Li,Dongming Ma,Jianlin Chen,Gaobin Pu,Yunpeng Ji,Caiyan Lei,Zhigao Du,Benye Liu,Hechun Ye,Hong Wang +9 more
TL;DR: Functional and enzymatic assays showed that the recombinant enzyme was able to reversibly reduce a variety of common CADs substrates, namely geranial, cinnamyl aldehyde, sinapyl aldhyde, coniferyl aldehydes, and a sesquiterpenoid artemisinic aldechemical respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary Metabolic Profiling and Artemisinin Biosynthesis of Two Genotypes of Artemisia annua
Huahong Wang,Chenfei Ma,Lanqing Ma,Zhigao Du,Hong Wang,Hechun Ye,Guo-Feng Li,Benye Liu,Guowang Xu +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the secondary metabolites of two Artemisia annua L, genotype SP18 and genotype 001 were compared for some phenotypic and agricultural trait differences, including artemisinin content, existed between the two genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two type III polyketide synthases from Polygonum cuspidatum: gene structure, evolutionary route and metabolites
Yanwu Guo,Hui-Li Guo,Hui-Li Guo,Xing Li,Lili Huang,Bo-Ning Zhang,Xiaobin Pang,Benye Liu,Lanqing Ma,Hong Wang +9 more
TL;DR: To the knowledge, PcPKS5 is the first reported three-intron STS gene in flowering plants, and it is speculated that this involved a possible evolutionary route of plant-specific type III PKS superfamily in P. cuspidatum.
