Stress and defense responses in plant secondary metabolites production

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
In the growth condition(s) of plants, numerous secondary metabolites (SMs) are produced by them to serve variety of cellular functions essential for physiological processes, and recent increasing evidences have implicated stress and defense response signaling in their production. The type and concentrati...

The antioxidative defense system is involved in the premature senescence in transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum NC89)

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
BACKGROUND: α-Farnesene is a volatile sesquiterpene synthesized by the plant mevalonate (MVA) pathway through the action of α-farnesene synthase. The α-farnesene synthase 1 (MdAFS1) gene was isolated from apple peel (var. white winterpearmain), and transformed into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum NC89). Th...
