Article
Enhanced production of resveratrol derivatives in tobacco plants by improving the metabolic flux of intermediates in the phenylpropanoid pathway
The biosynthesis of flavonoids such as anthocyanin and stilbenes has attracted increasing attention because of their potential health benefits. Anthocyanins and stilbenes share common phenylpropanoid precursor...

Overexpression of the 3’ half of the PHYB partially suppresses dwarfism in the brassinosteroid-insensitive bri1-5 mutant
Brassinosteroids (BRs) control virtually every aspect of plant growth and development. BRs act alone or in combination with other signals. To identify the signaling components that interact with BRs, we screen...
