Down-regulation of the AtCCR1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana: effects on phenotype, lignins and cell wall degradability
Cinnamoyl CoA reductase (CCR; EC 1.2.1.44) is the first enzyme specific to the biosynthetic pathway leading to monolignols. Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. plants transformed with a vector… Expand

Strictosidine activation in Apocynaceae: towards a "nuclear time bomb"?
BackgroundThe first two enzymatic steps of monoterpene indole alkaloid (MIA) biosynthetic pathway are catalysed by strictosidine synthase (STR) that condensates tryptamine and secologanin to form… Expand

Co-expression of three MEP pathway genes and geraniol 10-hydroxylase in internal phloem parenchyma of Catharanthus roseus implicates multicellular translocation of intermediates during the…
In higher plants, isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) is synthesised both from the plastidic 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) and from the cytosolic mevalonate (MVA) pathways. Primary metabolites,… Expand

Regiochemical control of monolignol radical coupling: a new paradigm for lignin and lignan biosynthesis.
BACKGROUND Although the lignins and lignans, both monolignol-derived coupling products, account for nearly 30% of the organic carbon circulating in the biosphere, the biosynthetic mechanism of their… Expand

Characterization of the plastidial geraniol synthase from Madagascar periwinkle which initiates the monoterpenoid branch of the alkaloid pathway in internal phloem associated parenchyma.
Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus [L.] G. Don, Apocynaceae) produces monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs), secondary metabolites of high interest due to their therapeutic value. A key step in… Expand

The subcellular organization of strictosidine biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus epidermis highlights several trans‐tonoplast translocations of intermediate metabolites
Catharanthus roseus synthesizes a wide range of valuable monoterpene indole alkaloids, some of which have recently been recognized as functioning in plant defence mechanisms. More specifically, in… Expand

Cellular and sub-cellular organisation of the monoterpenoid indole alkaloid pathway in Catharanthus roseus
The Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs), either as (hetero)dimers (vinblastine, vincristine) or as monomers (ajmalicine) are valuable pharmaceuticals with… Expand

A single gene encodes isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase isoforms targeted to plastids, mitochondria and peroxisomes in Catharanthus roseus
Isopentenyl diphosphate isomerases (IDI) catalyze the interconversion of the two isoprenoid universal C5 units, isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylally diphosphate, to allow the biosynthesis of the… Expand
