CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing reveals the involvement of a polyphenol oxidase in the shikonin-specific biosynthesis in Lithospermum erythrorhizon

Kohei Nakanishi, Yuki Takano, Kyoko Yamamoto…·Kazufumi Yazaki

The paper uses CRISPR/Cas9 to edit the LePPO1 gene in Lithospermum erythrorhizon, showing it is involved in shikonin biosynthesis and explains the role of copper in the process.

Membrane systems for lipid secretion in the hairy roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon observed by electron microscopy

Shingo Kiyoto, Takuji Ichino, Tatsuya Awano, Kazufumi Yazaki

This study uses electron microscopy to show that multivesicular bodies mediate both synthesis and secretion of shikonin derivatives in hairy roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon.
