Journal ArticleDOI
Emission of volatile organic compounds from petunia flowers is facilitated by an ABC transporter
Funmilayo Adebesin,Joshua R. Widhalm,Benoît Boachon,François Lefèvre,Baptiste Pierman,Joseph H. Lynch,Iftekhar Alam,Bruna Rayane Teodoro Junqueira,Ryan Benke,Shaunak Ray,Justin A. Porter,Makoto Yanagisawa,Hazel Y. Wetzstein,John A. Morgan,Marc Boutry,Robert C. Schuurink,Natalia Dudareva +16 more
TL;DR: This study provides direct proof of a biologically mediated mechanism of volatile emission by characterization of a Petunia hybrida adenosine triphosphate–binding cassette (ABC) transporter, PhABCG1, that passage of volatiles across the plasma membrane relies on active transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Multinuclear Polymeric Nanoparticles as Robust Protein Nanocarriers
Jun Wu,Nazila Kamaly,Jinjun Shi,Lili Zhao,Lili Zhao,Zeyu Xiao,Zeyu Xiao,Geoffrey Hollett,Rohit John,Shaunak Ray,Xiaoyang Xu,Xiaoyang Xu,Xue-Qing Zhang,Philip W. Kantoff,Omid C. Farokhzad,Omid C. Farokhzad,Omid C. Farokhzad +16 more
TL;DR: The engineering of PLGA-polycation nanoparticles with a core-shell structure that act as a robust vector for the encapsulation and delivery of proteins and peptides is reported, highlighting a novel strategy for the delivery of protein and other relevant molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural fumigation as a mechanism for volatile transport between flower organs.
Benoît Boachon,Benoît Boachon,Joseph H. Lynch,Shaunak Ray,Jing Yuan,Kristian Mark P. Caldo,Robert R. Junker,Sharon A Kessler,John A. Morgan,Natalia Dudareva +9 more
TL;DR: Using biochemical and reverse genetic approaches, a new physiological phenomenon is demonstrated: inter-organ aerial transport of VOCs via natural fumigation within the internal airspace of the developing flower.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cuticle thickness affects dynamics of volatile emission from petunia flowers
Pan Liao,Shaunak Ray,Benoît Boachon,Benoît Boachon,Joseph H. Lynch,Arnav Deshpande,Scott A. M. McAdam,John A. Morgan,Natalia Dudareva +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the cuticle imposes substantial resistance to VOC mass transfer, acting as a sink/concentrator for VOCs and hence protecting cells from the potentially toxic internal accumulation of these hydrophobic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion of Volatile Organics and Water in the Epicuticular Waxes of Petunia Petal Epidermal Cells.
TL;DR: In this paper , a model cuticle based on the epicuticular waxes of Petunia hybrida flower petals was formulated to test the effect of wax composition on diffusion of water and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
