Glandular trichomes: More light - more terpenoids.

Glandular trichomes on the leaf surface of various plants produce some important secondary metabolites in large amounts, which makes them attractive as metabolic cell…

Plant cell division processes reviewed.

IPB scientists Katharina Bürstenbinder and Pradeep Dahiya have recently published a review article on specific processes in plant cell division. In contrast to algae and animal cells,…

New anti-HIV compound from African St. John's wort species.

IPB scientists and partners from Sardinia have isolated the coumarin substance bichromol from the bark of Hypericum roeperianum in their search for antiviral agents…

Ethylene plays a role in nutrient deficiency.

Ethylene, as a volatile phytohormone, controls many facets of plant growth, especially under stress conditions. In Medicago truncatula, the protein MtEIN2 plays an important role…

Synthesis of peptide double rings with new multicomponent strategies.

IPB scientists and partners from Havana have developed two novel synthesis strategies for the successful assembly of bicyclic peptides that exhibit…

Receptor kinase sets the switch from growth to defense.

In collaboration with IPB scientists, an international team has recently provided evidence that the Arabidopsis ABCG36 exporter transports not only the auxin precursor…

Metabolomics reveals drought-tolerant eucalyptus.

Eucalyptus trees are an important source of wood, bioenergy and pulp for the paper industry. For this purpose, the trees, originally native to Australia and Southeast Asia,…

Structure of complex natural product elucidated.

IPB chemists, together with partners from Germany and Indonesia, have elucidated the structure of the previously undescribed natural compound lumnitzeralactone. This ellagic…

Modulating auxin response stabilizes tomato fruit set.

Successful pollination of tomato plants is highly dependent on the weather. In cool temperatures, pollination of the flowers is inefficient and results in yield losses.…

Anti-inflammatory bitter substance from chicory.

The root chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) was already used in the Middle Ages to treat all kinds of digestive discomforts. In particular, the bitter substances contained in the…
