Metabolome and transcriptome profiling of root chicory provide insights into laticifer development and specialized metabolism

The paper profiles metabolome and transcriptome of chicory roots to study laticifer development and specialized metabolism, finding compartmentalization of STL biosynthesis and inulin trafficking.

Metabolic arms race between a plant and a fungal pathogen

This study identifies a metabolite interaction between barley and the fungal pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana, revealing that plant-produced hordedanes both inhibit other fungi and promote pathogen growth.

Heat stress induces a developmental shift from type-V to type-IV trichome dependent on jasmonate signaling in tomato

Heat stress induces a switch from type-V to type-IV trichomes in tomato, dependent on jasmonate signaling, with increased acylsugar production.

Shifts in carbon partitioning by photosynthetic activity increase terpenoid synthesis in glandulartrichomes

The paper uses computational methods and multi-omics data to show that increased light intensities shift carbon partitioning in glandular trichomes, enhancing monoterpene production.

A fungal endophyte-generated nucleoside signal regulates host cell death and promotes root colonization

This study identifies fungal enzymes that produce a metabolite triggering plant cell death, which is essential for fungal colonization of roots.

A barley gene cluster for the biosynthesis of diterpenoid phytoalexins

This paper identifies and characterizes a gene cluster in barley responsible for producing diterpenoid phytoalexins in response to fungal infection.

Two novel 7-epi-zingiberene derivatives with biological activity from Solanum habrochaites are produced by a single cytochrome P450 monooxygenase

The paper identifies two new 7-epi-zingiberene derivatives from Solanum habrochaites and shows their bioactivity against pests and pathogens.
