Open AccessNew different origins and evolutionary processes of AP2/EREBP transcription factors in Taxus chinensis
Taxus spp. produces the anticancer drug, taxol, and hence is planted as an industrial crop in China. APETALA2/ethylene response element binding proteins (AP2/EREBPs) are the key regulators of plant development, g...

Two jasmonate-responsive factors, TcERF12 and TcERF15, respectively act as repressor and activator of tasy gene of taxol biosynthesis in Taxus chinensis
Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is one of the most effective inducers of taxol biosynthetic genes, particularly the tasy gene. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of tasy by MeJA is still unknown. In this st...

Assessment of genetic and epigenetic variation during long-term Taxus cell culture
Gradual loss of secondary metabolite production is a common obstacle in the development of a large-scale plant cell production system. In this study, cell morphology, paclitaxel (Taxol®) biosynthetic ability, and...

Lonicera confusa has an anatomical mechanism to respond to calcium-rich environment
Calcium (Ca) is an important nutrient element for plant growth and development. Nevertheless, excessive Ca restricts plant communities in Ca-rich environments. Lonicera confusa DC. is one species adapted to Ca-ri...
