Yi Shang,Yongshuo Ma,Yuan Zhou,Huimin Zhang,Lixin Duan,Huiming Chen,Jianguo Zeng,Qian Zhou,Shenhao Wang,Wenjia Gu,Min Liu,Jinwei Ren,Xingfang Gu,Shengping Zhang,Wang Ye,Ken Yasukawa,Harro J. Bouwmeester,Xiaoquan Qi,Zhonghua Zhang,William J. Lucas,Sanwen Huang +20 more
TL;DR: Along the way, Shang et al. have worked out the biosynthetic pathway of cucurbitacin and discovered genetic traces of the domestication process and unraveled the mystery of why some cucumbers, if grown in chilly conditions, become bitter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Convergence and divergence of bitterness biosynthesis and regulation in Cucurbitaceae.
Yuan Zhou,Yongshuo Ma,Jianguo Zeng,Lixin Duan,Xiaofeng Xue,Huaisong Wang,Tao Lin,Zhiqiang Liu,Ke-Wu Zeng,Yang Zhong,Shu Zhang,Qun Hu,Min Liu,Huimin Zhang,James Reed,Tessa Moses,Xinyan Liu,Peng Huang,Zhixing Qing,Xiubin Liu,Peng-Fei Tu,Hanhui Kuang,Zhonghua Zhang,Anne Osbourn,Dae-Kyun Ro,Yi Shang,Sanwen Huang +26 more
TL;DR: Comparison of the genomes of cucumber, melon and watermelon uncovered conserved syntenic loci encoding metabolic genes for distinct cucurbitacins and discovered a syntenic gene cluster of transcription factors that regulates the tissue-specific biosynthesis of cucurbits and may confer the loss of bitterness phenotypes associated with convergent domestication of wild cucurbits.
Journal ArticleDOI
TBHP mediated oxidation of N-2-alkynylphenyl α-amino carbonyl compounds to oxalic amides using visible light photoredox catalysis and their application in the synthesis of 2-aryl indoles
TL;DR: N-2-alkynylphenyl oxalic amides could be subsequently transferred to 2-aryl indoles without an additional deacylation step through a favored 5-endo-dig N-cyclization process using AgNO3 as catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel C–C radical–radical coupling reaction promoted by visible light: facile synthesis of 6-substituted N-methyl 5,6-dihydrobenzophenanthridine alkaloids
TL;DR: In this paper, a photoredox-mediated direct intermolecular C-H functionalization of N-methyl 5,6-dihydrobenzophenanthridine is developed utilizing the visible light-induced reductive quenching pathway of photocatalyst Ir(ppy)3.
