Unusually cyclized triterpenoids: Bioactive compounds with potential.

In an international team, IPB chemists recently completed a review of 180 new unusually cyclized triterpenoids. The review was published as the second of…

Long non-coding RNAs influence rosette size in Arabidopsis.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncNATs) are currently the focus of science because they are an interesting phenomenon involved in the regulation of gene expression and in…

Ask the medicine man! Investigation of traditional medicinal plants against worm diseases.

Illuminating ancient ways can sometimes pay off. IPB scientists in a team with partners from Botswana, Switzerland and MLU have…

Powerful fertilizer for tomatoes.

Chitosan, a natural biopolymer derived from chitin, is used in agriculture as an organic fertilizer and metabolism booster. However, the effect of chitosan in different phases of plant…

Polyphenols from the Water Avens have antioxidant effects.

The Water Avens (Geum rivale L.), a rosaceous plant widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, is rich in polyphenols, which are expected to have…

Optimized genetic scissors for plants.

Genome editing with CRISPR/Cas has quickly established itself as a fast and effective method for targeted modification of genes. However, there are many variants of this molecular tool…

Selectively enriching valuable ingredients of chicory.

Cichorium intybus is a widespread plant whose cultivated forms are also known as chicory or radicchio. Root chicory (Cichorium intybus var. sativum), used as a coffee…

Tracking proteins in the cell: New vectors for localization.

Precisely locating proteins of interest (POIs) in the cell is often essential to elucidate their physiological function. The most common in vivo localization…

Vanilloid versus isovanilloid: IPB scientists develop tailored enzymes with modified regiospecificity.

Although the biocatalytic production of plant and synthetic bioactives in reaction tubes is gaining increasing…

Bacterial metalo-aminopeptidases: new targets for infectious diseases.

Due to increased resistance of microorganisms to conventional antibiotics, bacterial infectious diseases are increasingly advancing as a global health…
