In plants,low molecular weight terpenes produced by terpene synthases(TPS)contribute to multiple ecologically and economically important traits.The present study investigates a carrot terpene synthase gene cluster on ...
In the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway, Chalcone synthase (CHS) is involved in the formation of the pigment and has been shown to be a rate-limiting enzyme for the synthesis of flavonoids. In this study, a PCR approach...
Physical stresses such as high temperature or hyper- osmosis are known causes of intracellular ceramide (Cer) accumulation in mammalian epithelial cells;these stresses also result in the activation of the biosy- nthes...
