Identification of BAHD acyltransferases associated with acylinositol biosynthesis in Solanum quitoense (naranjilla)

B. J. Leong, S. M. Hurney, P. D. Fiesel, T. M. Anthony, G. D. Moghe, A. D. Jones, R. L. Last

The paper identifies three BAHD acyltransferases in Solanum quitoense involved in acylinositol biosynthesis and shows their in vitro products differ from in planta accumulation.

Evolution of metabolic novelty: a trichome-expressed invertase creates specialized metabolic diversity in wild tomato

B. J. Leong, D. Lybrand, Y.-R. Lou, P. Fan, A. L. Schilmiller, R. L. Last

The paper identifies a trichome-expressed invertase in wild tomato that converts acylsucroses into acylglucoses, enabling specialized metabolic diversity.
