The growing knowledge about the influence of transposable elements (TE s) on (a) long‐
term genome and transcriptome evolution;(b) genomic, transcriptomic and epigenetic …

Tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan are the three aromatic amino acids (AAA) involved
in protein synthesis. These amino acids and their metabolism are linked to the synthesis of a …

The general phenylpropanoid metabolism generates an enormous array of secondary
metabolites based on the few intermediates of the shikimate pathway as the core unit. The …

The phenylpropanoid pathway serves as a rich source of metabolites in plants, being
required for the biosynthesis of lignin, and serving as a starting point for the production of …

Coffee is a valuable beverage crop due to its characteristic flavor, aroma, and the stimulating
effects of caffeine. We generated a high-quality draft genome of the species Coffea …

Compelling evidence indicates that free polyamines (PAs)(mainly putrescine, spermidine,
spermine, and its isomer thermospermine), some PA conjugates to hydroxycinnamic acids …

Being by far the largest family of enzymes to support plant metabolism, the cytochrome
P450s (CYPs) constitute an excellent reporter of metabolism architecture and evolution. The …

The aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan in plants are not only
essential components of protein synthesis, but also serve as precursors for a wide range of …

Unlike other important Solanaceae crops such as tomato, potato, chili pepper, and tobacco,
all of which originated in South America and are cultivated worldwide, eggplant (Solanum …

Lignin, a phenolic polymer in the secondary wall, is the major cause of lignocellulosic
biomass recalcitrance to efficient industrial processing. From an applications perspective, it …
