Plants produce abundant natural products, among which are species-specific and diversified secondary metabolites that essential for growth development, as well adaptation to adversity ecology. Moreover, these extensively utilized in pharmaceuticals, fragrances, industrial materials, more. WRKY transcription factors (TFs), a family of TFs unique plants, have significant functions many plant life activities. Especially recent years, their role the field metabolite biosynthesis regulation has received much attention. However, very little comprehensive summarization been done review research progress. The purpose this work is not only provide valuable insights into over metabolic pathways through compiling involved processes, but also offer directions by summarizing regulatory modes metabolites, thereby increasing yield products future. Secondary can be categorized three major classes-terpenoids, phenolic compounds, nitrogen-containing compounds-based on structural characteristics biosynthetic pathways, further subdivided numerous subclasses. We detail progressregardingthe roles metabolitebiosynthesis summarize more than 40 related species. Additionally, we presented concepts action including direct regulation, indirect co-regulation, self-regulation. It helpful others investigate molecular mechanisms TF-mediated regulation. Furthermore, regarding future prospects, believe area lays foundation important plant-derived breeding, generating economic social benefits.

SUMMARY Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has become increasingly popular in plant science due to its ability characterize complex chemical, spatial, and temporal aspects of metabolism. Over the past decade, as emerging unique features various MSI techniques have continued support new discoveries studies metabolism closely associated with function physiology, spatial metabolomics based on positioned it at forefront metabolic studies, providing opportunity for far higher resolution than was previously available. Despite these efforts, profound challenges levels resolution, sensitivity, quantitative ability, chemical confidence, isomer discrimination, multi‐omics integration, undoubtedly remain. In this Perspective, we provide a contemporary overview emergent widely used sciences, particular emphasis recent advances methodological breakthroughs. Having established detailed context MSI, outline both golden opportunities key currently facing metabolomics, presenting our vision how enormous potential technologies will contribute progress coming years.

Plants produce diverse specialized metabolites with important ecological functions. It has recently become apparent that the genes for many of these pathways are not dispersed in plant genomes, but rather arranged like beads on a string biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Pathways encoded by BGCs as rule dedicated linear do form parts wider metabolic networks. In contrast, biosynthesis widely distributed more ancestral such carotenoids and anthocyanins clustered. Little is known about how evolved clustered interact general metabolism. We characterized 12-gene BGC antimicrobial defense compound avenacin A-1, triterpene glycoside produced oats. Avenacin A-1 acylated fluorophore N -methyl anthranilate confers bright blue fluorescence oat root tips under ultraviolet light. Here, we exploit suite >100 avenacin-deficient mutants identified screening reduced to identify required function this paradigm BGC. Using combination mutant chemotyping, biochemical molecular analysis, genome resequencing, two nonclustered ( Sad4 Pal2 ) encoding enzymes synthesize donors glycosylation acylation (recruited from phenylpropanoid tryptophan pathways). Our finding Cluster Auxiliary Enzymes (CAEs) provides insights into interplay between metabolism newly lineage-specific

Abstract Plants are unique organisms that have developed ingenious strategies to cope with environmental challenges, such as herbivorous insects. One of these is the synthesis a vast array chemical compounds, known specialized metabolites, serve many ecological functions. Among most fascinating and diverse groups metabolites alkaloids, which characterized by presence nitrogen atom within heterocyclic ring. While some medicinal recreational applications, others highly unpalatable and/or toxic. The effects alkaloids on both humans insects can be very diverse, affecting their physiology behavior. Insects feed alkaloid-containing plants evolved various mechanisms consequences toxins. These include sequestration, where store in tissues or organs, enzymatic detoxification through enzymes cytochrome P450 monooxygenases glutathione S-transferases, behavioral adaptations selective feeding. In this review, we explore relationships between plant evolutionary enable exploit alkaloid-rich food sources niches minimizing harmful natural compounds. We aim provide comprehensive updated overview complex interaction.
