Open AccessReverse metabolomics for the discovery of chemical structures from humans
Determining the structure and phenotypic context of molecules detected in untargeted metabolomics experiments remains challenging. Here we present reverse metabolomics as a discovery strategy, whereby tandem m...

A vitamin-C-derived DNA modification catalysed by an algal TET homologue
Methylation of cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (5mC) is a prevalent DNA modification found in many organisms. Sequential oxidation of 5mC by ten-eleven translocation (TET) dioxygenases results in a cascade of add...

Open AccessReprogramming of Seed Metabolism Facilitates Pre-harvest Sprouting Resistance of Wheat
Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is a worldwide problem for wheat production and transgene antisense-thioredoxin-s (anti-trx-s) facilitates outstanding resistance. To understand the molecular details of PHS resistance...
