Secreted phospholipases (sPLAs) in plants are a growing group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of glycerophospholipids to lysophospholipids and free fatty acids. Until today, around only 20 sPLAs were reported from plants. This review discusses the newly acquired information on plant sPLAs including molecular, biochemical, catalytic, and functional aspects. The comparative analysis also includes phylogenetic, evolutionary, and tridimensional structure. The observations with emphasis in sPLA are compared with the available data reported for all plants sPLAs and with those described for animals (mainly from pancreatic juice and venoms sources).

Anthocyanins not only serve as critical pigments determining floral hues but also play essential roles in attracting insects for pollination, feeding animals and mitigating abiotic stress. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of flower color in sesame has not yet been reported. In this study, an F population was constructed by crossing 'Ganzhi 9' (purple-flowered) with 'BS377' (white-flowered).

is a family of plant viruses with tripartite, positive-sense RNA genomes of about 8 kb in total. Genomic RNAs are packaged in separate virions that may also contain sub-genomic, defective or satellite RNAs. Virions are variable in morphology (spherical or bacilliform) and may be transmitted between hosts mechanically, via pollen, or non-persistently by insect vectors.

Little is known about plant-parasitic animal-derived pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)/ pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) pairs. Additionally, mitochondrial proteins have not previously been reported to be secreted into hosts by pathogens. Here, it is found that the Meloidogyne javanica elongation factor thermo unstable (EF-Tu) (MjEF-Tu) located in the nematode mitochondria is up-regulated and secreted into the host plant during nematode parasitism.

A polysaccharide APS-1 II from a medicinal plant Angelica sinensis represents an interesting therapeutic agent against leukemia. However, the synthetic accessibility of the highly branched and complex APS-1 II polysaccharide with multiple 1, 2-cis-glycosidic linkages remains a difficult task, impeding the in-depth structure-activity relationship biological studies and the development of carbohydrates-based therapeutics against leukemia. Here, we report the first chemical synthesis of tridecasaccharide repeating unit together with shorter sequences 4-mer, 6-mer and 9-mer from APS-1 II polysaccharide via one-pot orthogonal glycosylation strategy based on glycosyl ortho-(1-phenylvinyl)benzoates, which precluded the potential issues such as aglycone transfer associated with one-pot assembly with thioglycosides.

Comparative genomic studies of closely related taxa are important for our understanding of the causes of divergence on a changing Earth. This being said, the genomic resources available for marine intertidal molluscs are limited and currently, there are few publicly available high-quality annotated genomes for intertidal species and for molluscs in general. Here we report transcriptome assemblies for six species of Patellogastropoda and genome assemblies and annotations for three of these species (Scurria scurra, Scurria viridula and Scurria zebrina).
