Flavonoids are representative plant secondary products. In the model plant Arabidopsis
thaliana, at least 54 flavonoid molecules (35 flavonols, 11 anthocyanins and 8 …

Oil produced in plant seeds is utilized as a major source of calories for human nutrition, as
feedstocks for non-food uses such as soaps and polymers, and can serve as a high-energy …

Defining specific protein interactions and spatially or temporally restricted local proteomes
improves our understanding of all cellular processes, but obtaining such data is challenging …

Advances in the flavonoid field have been nothing short of spectacular over the last 20
years. While the medical field has noticed flavonoids for their potential antioxidant …

Biotin-dependent carboxylases include acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), propionyl-CoA
carboxylase (PCC), 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC), geranyl-CoA carboxylase …

Triacylglycerols from plants, familiar to most people as vegetable oils, supply 25% of dietary
calories to the developed world and are increasingly a source for renewable biomaterials …

Triacylglycerols produced by plants are one of the most energy‐rich and abundant forms of
reduced carbon available from nature. Given their chemical similarities, plant oils represent …

Discovery of a relict chloroplast (the apicoplast) in malarial parasites presented new
opportunities for drug development. The apicoplast–although no longer photosynthetic–is …

Acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylases (ACCs) have crucial roles in fatty acid metabolism in most
living organisms. Mice deficient in ACC2 have continuous fatty acid oxidation and reduced …

A variety of mechanisms have been proposed to account for the extension of life span in
seeds (seed longevity). In this work, we used Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seeds as a …
