Metabolomics of Brazilian medicinal plant.

IPB chemists and partners from Egypt and Brazil have recently carried out a comprehensive mapping of the metabolite variations of Clusia minor at different stages of development.…

New immune modulator discovered in potato.

Plant immune receptors recognize different structures when attacked by pathogens or herbivores, such as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), damage-associated molecular…

New adjuvants with multicomponent reaction.

The production of effective adjuvants plays an important role in the development of new vaccines. These vaccine boosters enable a strong and targeted immune response that…

Proteomics of growth and defense.

The activation of plant defense mechanisms against pathogens is energy-intensive and therefore often occurs at the cost of growth and development. The molecular basis of this…

Jasmonate inhibitor acts species-specific.

Not every inhibitor works in every plant. Bettina Hause and iDiv scientists recently discovered this for the substance Jarin-1. The effect of the alkaloid, a cytisine derivative,…

UPOs see the light.

Nonspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) are enzymes that can selectively and efficiently transfer oxygen to organic compounds. UPO-catalyzed reactions are therefore suitable for the production of a wide variety…

The chemistry of premium chocolate.

The processing of cocoa beans into chocolate is based on complex traditional drying, fermentation and roasting steps that are not standardized and therefore difficult to reproduce. In…

First enantioselective UPO by enzyme engineering.

Nonspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) of fungal origin catalyze a wide range of hydroxylation reactions very efficiently and require only hydrogen peroxide as cosubstrate.…

Xanthomonas effector protein causes degradation of plant microtubules.

Xanthomonas, as plant pathogenic bacteria, cause enormous damage to crops and ornamentals. They infect more than 400 plant species, including wheat and…

Medicine from the desert date.

In a team with partners from Egypt, IPB scientists have performed comparative metabolic profiling of the desert date Balanites aegyptiaca. The plant is common in Africa and the Middle East and…
