• Jasmonates (JAs)-mediated pathways are central signaling hubs in plant defense responses. However, the identification of mobile and non-mobile signals involved in downstream systemic signaling is still less studied.

• Here, we investigate the role of the jasmonic acid-isoleucine conjugati...

Cells must continuously adjust metabolic output to maintain homeostasis under changing environmental conditions, yet the mechanisms that enable rapid and reversible control of pathway activity remain largely unknown. The methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, of bacterial origin and conserved ...

Cells use glycolytic intermediates for anabolism e.g., via the serine synthesis and pentose phosphate pathways. However, we still understand poorly how these metabolic pathways contribute to skeletal muscle cell biomass generation. The first aim of this study was therefore to identify enzymes tha...

Antibiotics were once used in animal production to improve productivity and resistance to pathogenic microbiota. However, due to its negative effects, the search for a new class of substances that can replace its efficacy has become one of the urgent problems to be solved. Plant essential oils (E...

Aromatic amino acids are essential precursors for numerous plant metabolites, with phenylalanine (Phe) forming the basis of the phenylpropanoid pathway. Here, we reveal a critical mechanism for Phe biosynthesis in maize, demonstrating that all seven arogenate dehydratases (ADTs) are specifically ...
