Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) catalyses the deamination of L-phenylalanine, which is the first step of the plant-specific phenylpropanoid pathway. Its position at the intersection of primary and specialized metabolism, combined with its important role in plant growth and adaptive stress response, has …

ABSTRACT While all plants use L-phenylalanine for phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, grasses can also initiate the pathway from L-tyrosine. Curiously, no plant has evolved an exclusive tyrosine-derived route. We generate plants with phenylpropanoid biosynthesis initiated from phenylalanine, tyrosine, or both by expressing a Brachypodium …

Sterols are produced via complex, multistep biosynthetic pathways involving similar enzymatic conversions in plants, animals, and fungi, yielding a variety of sterol metabolites with slightly different chemical properties to exert diverse and specific functions. A tremendously diverse landscape of sterols, and sterol-derived …

Lignin is a phenolic polymer in plants that rigidifies the cell walls of water-conducting tracheary elements and support-providing fibers and stone cells. Different mechanisms have been suggested for the transport of lignin precursors to the site of lignification in the cell wall. …

In soil ecosystems, rhizobia occupy the rhizosphere of legume roots to form nodules, a process triggered by microbial recognition of specific root-derived signals (i.e. flavonoids). However, soil conditions can limit bacterial motility, restricting signal perception to the area directly influenced by roots. …

Strigolactones are a class of phytohormones that are involved in many different plant developmental processes, including the rhizobium-legume nodule symbiosis. Although both positive and negative effects of strigolactones on the number of nodules have been reported, the influence of strigolactones on nodule …

Industrial chicory (Cichorium intybus var. sativum) and witloof (C. intybus var. foliosum) are crops with an important economic value, mainly cultivated for inulin production and as a leafy vegetable, respectively. Both crops are rich in nutritionally relevant specialized metabolites with beneficial effects …

Abstract The phenylpropanoid cinnamic acid (CA) is a plant metabolite that can occur under a trans‐ or cis‐form. In contrast to the proven bioactivity of the cis‐form (c‐CA), the activity of trans‐CA (t‐CA) is still a matter of debate. We tested both …

Induced resistance (IR), a phenotypic state induced by an exogenous stimulus and characterized by enhanced resistance to future (a)biotic challenge, is an important component of plant immunity. Numerous IR-inducing stimuli have been described in various plant species, but relatively little is known …
