taxus/イネ属

Taxus spp. are ancient gymnosperms that produce a unique secondary metabolite, namely, taxol, an anticancer drug. JAZ proteins are key regulators of the JA signaling pathway, which control taxol biosynthesis. However, the JAZ proteins of Taxus spp. are poorly studied. In this work, nine JAZ genes

The present study aims to investigate the endophytic bacteria, isolated from the roots of Taxus wallichiana Zucc. and designated as GBPI_TWL and GBPI_TWr, for their plant growth promoting traits. On the basis of phenotypic and molecular characters, the bacteria are identified as species of

A recently discovered 3,5-dihydro-5-methylidene-4H-imidazol-4-one (MIO)-dependent tyrosine aminomutase (OsTAM) from rice [Yan, J., et al. (2015) Plant Cell 27, 1265] converts (S)-α-tyrosine to a mixture of (R)- and (S)-β-tyrosines, with high (94%) enantiomeric excess, which does not change with pH,
