Role of a chalcone isomerase-like protein in flavonoid biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana

Description: This article identifies two chil mutants with a seed colour similar to that of wild-type Arabidopsis, but in sharp contrast to the characteristic transparent testa seed phenotype associated with other known flavonoid pathway genes.

Dissecting the transcriptional regulation of proanthocyanidin and anthocyanin biosynthesis in soybean (Glycine max)

Description: This article analyzes the transcriptional control of PA and anthocyanin biosynthesis in soybean. Results show that engineered PA biosynthesis in soybean exhibits qualitative and spatial differences from the better-studied model systems Arabidopsis thaliana and Medicago truncatula, and suggest targets for engineering PAs in soybean plants.

Substrate Specificity of LACCASE8 Facilitates Polymerization of Caffeyl Alcohol for C-Lignin Biosynthesis in the Seed Coat of Cleome hassleriana

Description: This article finds that the transcript profile of the laccase gene ChLAC8 parallels the accumulation of C-lignin during seed coat development. Recombinant ChLAC8 oxidizes caffeyl and sinapyl alcohols, generating their corresponding dimers or trimers in vitro, but cannot oxidize coniferyl alcohol. The authors propose a basis for this substrate preference based on molecular modeling/docking experiments. Suppression of ChLAC8 expression led to significantly reduced C-lignin content in the seed coa… more
