Rice glycosyltransferase OsDUGT1 is involved in heat stress tolerance by glycosylating flavonoids and regulating flavonoid metabolism.

One significant environmental element influencing the growth and yield of rice ( L.) is high temperature. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which rice responds to high temperature is not fully understood.

New abietane and tigliane diterpenoids from the roots of and their cytotoxic activities.

Compounds and exhibited the inhibitory activities against human cancer cells HeLa and HepG2, with IC ranging from 3.54 to 11.

Rationally engineering santalene synthase to readjust the component ratio of sandalwood oil.

Plant essential oils (PEOs) are widely used in cosmetic and nutraceutical industries. The component ratios of PEOs determine their qualities. Controlling the component ratios is challenging in construction of PEO biotechnological platforms.
