Abstract Rho of Plants (ROP)-GTPase Regulatory Proteins (RGRPs) have been shown to control plant morphogenesis, development and immunity; however, their role in specialized metabolism remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that specific RGRPs monoterpene indole alkaloid (MIA) biosynthesis by interacting with distinct ROPs Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus). Among the five Guanine nucleotide Exchange Factors (GEFs), four GTPase-Activating (GAPs), two GDP Dissociation Inhibitors (GDIs)...
Abstract Rho of Plant (ROP) GTPases function as molecular switches that control signaling processes essential for growth, development, and defense. However, their role in specialized metabolism is poorly understood. Previously, we demonstrated inhibition protein geranylgeranyl transferase (PGGT-I) negatively impacts the biosynthesis monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIA) Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus), indicating involvement prenylated proteins signaling. Here, show through...
SUMMARY Citral, a naturally occurring acyclic monoterpene aldehyde, is present in the essential oils of various plants, but only few produce it abundance. Despite its importance as key aroma molecule, knowledge regarding in‐planta biosynthesis citral and metabolic origin remains limited. Here, we have elucidated functions an alcohol dehydrogenase (CfADH1) aldoketo‐reductase (CfAKR2b) lemongrass ( Cymbopogon flexuosus ), one most cultivated aromatic crops for citral‐rich oil. Expression both...
Abstract Except for the genetic basis of citral-forming alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) in Litsea cubeba tree, and biochemical studies on enzymes from select plants, knowledge regarding in-planta biosynthesis citral its metabolic origin remains limited. Here, we have elucidated functions an ADH (CfADH1) aldoketo-reductase (CfAKR2b) lemongrass ( Cymbopogon flexuosus ), one most cultivated aromatic crops citral-rich essential oil. Expression both CfADH1 CfAKR2b showed correlation with...
