    Biotechnological approaches for producing aryltetralin lignans from Linum species

    The genus Linum includes more than 230 globally distributed species, which have attracted great interest as they grow rapidly and are already sources of commercially important products, e.g. flax and linseed oil....

    Pinoresinol–lariciresinol reductase gene expression and secoisolariciresinol diglucoside accumulation in develo** flax (Linum usitatissimum) seeds

    The transcription activity of the pinoresinol–lariciresinol reductase (PLR) gene of Linum usitatissimum (so-called LuPLR), a key gene in lignan synthesis, was studied by RT-PCR and promoter–reporter transgenesis....

    Thiophene interconversion in elicitor-treated roots ofTagetes patula L.

    Thiophenes are polyacetylene-related heterocyclic metabolites. Some of these compounds are phototoxic, but the bithiophenes occurring inTagetes mainly accumulate in the root where photo-activation is not likely t...

    Effect of auxin on thiophene synthesis and root morphology in Tagetes patula hairy root cultures

    The production of secondary metabolites often depends on the organization of plant cells into a morphologically differentiated state (Luckner, 1980; Wier-mann, 1981; Rhodes et al., 1987; Yeoman, 1987). This re...

    Cellular Aspects of Thiophene Accumulation in Relation to Root Differentiation

    A great variety of compounds that are not primarily involved in growth and functioning of the plant cell, are synthesized via the complex pathways of secondary metabolism. There is considerable evidence for a ...
