Plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) are variably distributed across taxa, tissues, and ecological contexts; this variability has inspired many theories about PSM function, which, to date, remain poorly tested because predictions have outpaced the available data. Advances in mass spectrometry–based metabolomics enabled unbiased profiling, molecular biology techniques produced PSM-free plants; combination of these methods accelerated our understanding complex roles that PSMs play plants. Synthetic workflows producing high-value, structurally quantities purities sufficient for both medicinal functional studies. These enable reengineering transport, externalization, structural diversity, production novel facilitating rigorous tests long-standing theoretical why plants produce so different particular tissues contexts. Plants use their chemical prowess solve challenges, synthetic accelerating evolved functions.

Synthetic biology has the potential to revolutionize biotechnology, public health, and agriculture. Recent studies have shown enormous of plants as chassis for synthetic applications. However, tools precisely manipulate metabolic pathways bioproduction in are still needed. We used bacterial allosteric transcription factors (aTFs) that control gene expression a ligand-specific manner tested their ability repress semi-synthetic promoters plants. also modulation repression activity response specific plant metabolites, especially phenylpropanoid-related molecules. Using these aTFs, we designed genetic circuits capable computing Boolean logic operations. Three CouR, FapR, TtgR, achieved c. 95% respective target promoters. For sixfold de-repression could be triggered by inducing its ligand accumulation, showing use biosensor. Moreover, AND, NAND, IMPLY, NIMPLY operations integrate metabolite levels input circuit. showed biosensors can implemented detect metabolites activate circuit follows predefined logic, demonstrating exerting over facilitating natural products.

Abstract Recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns on the cell surface is crucial for plant immunity. The proteinaceous nature of many these suggests that secreted proteases play important roles in their formation and stability. Here we demonstrate apoplastic subtilase SBT5.2a inactivates immunogenicity cold-shock proteins (CSPs) bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae by cleaving within immunogenic csp22 epitope. Consequently, mutant plants lacking activity retain higher levels csp22, leading to enhanced immune responses reduced growth. SBT5.2 sensitivity influenced sequence variation surrounding cleavage site probably extends CSPs from other species. These findings suggest variations stability among pathogens are a factor plant–bacteria interactions exploit avoid pattern recognition.

Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa)-derived actinidin, a cysteine protease, is renowned for its meat-tenderizing and milk-clotting activities. Despite potential in various biotechnological applications, an efficient expression platform actinidin production has not yet been developed. Instead, traditionally purified directly from the fruits of plants. This study aimed to produce kiwifruit-derived leaves Nicotiana benthamiana. The expressed was directed lumen endoplasmic reticulum (ER) using binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) signal sequence ER retention signal. To facilitate cost-effective purification, family 3 cellulose-binding module (CBM3) employed as affinity tag, along with microcrystalline cellulose beads that bind efficiently CBM3. A significant portion recovered soluble fraction without proteolytic degradation. exhibited β-casein-degrading activity, optimal efficiency observed at 55°C pH 7.0. These results establish promising plant-based functional application diverse processes.
