A study published in Science Advances has revealed promising strategies to significantly improve crop yields by addressing ...

A recent study showcases the power of CRISPR gene editing to significantly boost the production of resveratrol, a ...

Researchers have discovered that the metabolic pathways regulating vitamin B6 homeostasis—critical in certain forms of epilepsy and immune function—are shared by plants and humans.

All cells produce substances that are essential for them to function properly. For example, in plants, specific metabolic pathways can produce glucose and chlorophyll. Metabolic pathways can be ...

Secondary metabolic pathways, which are turned on in response to specific cues and make natural products, typically make a variety of products. Some pathways make only one or two products, and ...

Lignans are low molecular weight polyphenolic compounds with important antitumor and antiviral properties. However, their low amounts in medicinal plants and complex structures make sustainable ...

This study presents a fluorescent nanosensor for real-time detection of iron species in plants, advancing knowledge of iron ...

All metabolic pathways have to be regulated and controlled to stop the build-up of an end product that isn’t needed. The cell can control a metabolic pathway by the presence or absence of a ...

Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology and ...
