This study examines genetic, epigenetic, and metabolite variation in three Greek Taxus baccata populations to assess their potential for taxane production and conservation.

The paper generates and characterizes an Arabidopsis thaliana triple mutant lacking F3H, FLS1, and ANS, revealing a bypass pathway that leads to eriodictyol derivative accumulation.

This study identifies and functionally characterizes 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase genes in banana involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, showing their ability to complement Arabidopsis mutants.

The paper develops an in silico workflow to predict molecular targets of natural products and identifies four new targets for dihydrochalcones.
