Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic profiling of Medicago truncatula cell cultures reveals the effects of biotic and abiotic elicitors on metabolism
Corey D. Broeckling,David V. Huhman,Mohamed A. Farag,Joel T. Smith,Gregory D. May,Pedro Mendes,Richard A. Dixon,Lloyd W. Sumner +7 more
TL;DR: GC-MS-based metabolite profiling was used to analyse the response of Medicago truncatula cell cultures to elicitation with methyl jasmonate, yeast elicitor (YE), or ultraviolet light (UV), and suggested the induction of threonine aldolase activity, an enzyme as yet uncharacterized from plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
GC-MS SPME profiling of rhizobacterial volatiles reveals prospective inducers of growth promotion and induced systemic resistance in plants
TL;DR: To provide a comprehensive chemical profile of bacterial volatiles emitted from these biologically active strains, headspace solid phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with software extraction of overlapping GC-separated components was employed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomics‐based selection and functional characterization of triterpene glycosyltransferases from the model legume Medicago truncatula
Lahoucine Achnine,David V. Huhman,Mohamed A. Farag,Lloyd W. Sumner,Jack W. Blount,Richard A. Dixon +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed an inducible cell culture system, DNA array-based and in silico transcript profiling, and targeted metabolite profiling, to identify triterpene glycosyltransferases (GTs) from among the more than 300 GTs expressed in M. truncatula.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine Natural Products : A Source of Novel Anticancer Drugs
Shaden A. M. Khalifa,Shaden A. M. Khalifa,Nizar Elias,Mohamed A. Farag,Mohamed A. Farag,Lei Chen,Aamer Saeed,Mohamed-Elamir F. Hegazy,Moustafa Sherief Moustafa,Aida Abd El-Wahed,Saleh Mohammed Al-Mousawi,Syed Ghulam Musharraf,Fang Rong Chang,Arihiro Iwasaki,Kiyotake Suenaga,Muaaz Alajlani,Muaaz Alajlani,Ulf Göransson,Hesham R. El-Seedi +18 more
TL;DR: The impact of marine organisms, with particular emphasis on marine plants, algae, bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, sponges and soft corals, and the possible molecular mechanisms behind the biological effects are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolomics Reveals Novel Pathways and Differential Mechanistic and Elicitor-Specific Responses in Phenylpropanoid and Isoflavonoid Biosynthesis in Medicago truncatula Cell Cultures
TL;DR: High-performance liquid chromatography coupled to ultraviolet photodiode array detection and ion-trap mass spectrometry was used to analyze the intra- and extracellular secondary product metabolome of Medicago truncatula cell suspension cultures responding to yeast elicitor (YE) or methyl jasmonate (MeJA).
