Epigenetic regulation has the potential to revolutionize plant breeding and improve crop yields by regulating gene expression in plants. DNA methylation and histone modifications are key epigenetic modifications that can...

Diverse morphological, cellular and physiological changes occur during seed maturation in when the seed tissues form specialized cell glands that produce reddish latex with high bixin amounts. Transcriptomic profiling during...

Carotene cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) are a large family of Fe dependent enzymes responsible for the production of a wide variety of apocarotenoids, such as bixin. Among the natural apocarotenoids, bixin...

Background: Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychotropic constituent of Cannabis sativa, has shown therapeutic promises by modulating several pathological conditions, including pain, epilepsy autism, among others. However, the molecular mechanism of action...
