Effect of drought stress on plant seeds.

Scientists from the IPB, MLU, and Russia recently published a study on drought-related metabolic alterations in plant seeds. In leaves, water deficit enhances protein glycation and…

Foliar application of chitosan increases tomato growth.

IPB scientists, in collaboration with partners from Morocco, have investigated the effect of two application modes (foliar spray or root treatment) of the bio-organic…

Analysis of chemically labile glycation adducts in seed proteins.

IPB and Russian scientists developed a progressive method for the quantification of chemically labile advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Increased…

Early Pep-13-induced immune responses are SERK3A/B-dependent in potato.

The co-receptors StSERK3A and StSERK3B seem to play a role in the early immune response of potatoes against Phytophthora infestans, the causative agent…

Commentary on recent mycorrhiza study in New Phytologist.

Prof. Hause recently lent her expertise in the field of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) for a commentary in New Phytologist. In her article, she highlights a study by…

A piperic acid CoA ligase produces a putative precursor of piperine.

Scientists at the IPB have described a specific piperic acid CoA ligase in immature green fruits of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.). The enzyme, which was…

Application of enzymatic CoA‐Ester Synthesis in Biocatalytic Cascades.

IPB chemists recently developed a bioorthogonal method for the ligation of coenzyme A (CoA) with cinnamic acids. Its applicability in biosynthetic…

Plant Cell & Physiology: Research Highlights in December.

Congratulations to Stefan Mielke and Debora Gasperini! Their latest review on the interplay between cell wall damage and jasmonate production was selected by Editor…

Improved stability of parallel β-Sheets via multicomponent reaction.

In contrast to the myriad of methods available to produce α-helices and antiparallel β-sheets in synthetic peptides, just a few are known for the…

Comparative review on synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides in orthogonal hosts.

Plant cells are surrounded by an extracellular matrix that consists mainly of polysaccharides. Many molecular components involved in plant…
