Current status and future prospects of small–molecule protein–protein interaction (PPI) inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)
(2018)The overexpression of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) is directly related to the development of several autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, refractory ... -
Finding and analyzing plant metabolic gene clusters
(2012)Plants produce an array of diverse secondary metabolites with important ecological functions, providing protection against pests, diseases, and abiotic stresses. Secondary metabolites are also a rich source of bioactive ... -
A hairy-root transformation protocol for Trigonella foenum-graecum L. as a tool for metabolic engineering and specialised metabolite pathway elucidation
(2020)The development of genetic transformation methods is critical for enabling the thorough characterization of an organism and is a key step in exploiting any species as a platform for synthetic biology and metabolic engineering ... -
Phytoestrogens, phytosteroids and saponins in vegetables: Biosynthesis, functions, health effects and practical applications
(2019)Phytoestrogens are non-steroidal secondary metabolites with similarities in structure and biological activities with human estrogens divided into various classes of compounds, including lignans, isoflavones, ellagitannins, ... -
Plant terpenoid metabolism co-opts a component of the cell wall biosynthesis machinery
(2020)Glycosylation is one of the most prevalent molecular modifications in nature. Single or multiple sugars can decorate a wide range of acceptors from proteins to lipids, cell wall glycans and small molecules, dramatically ... -
Sad3 and Sad4 are required for saponin biosynthesis and root development in oat
(2008)Avenacins are antimicrobial triterpene glycosides that are produced by oat (Avena) roots. These compounds confer broad-spectrum resistance to soil pathogens. Avenacin A-1, the major avenacin produced by oats, is strongly ... -
Seed and Saponin Production of Organic Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) for different Tillage and Fertilization
(2012)Field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of tillage systems and fertilization on growth, yield and quality of quinoa crop (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.). The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with ...
