The complexation with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) has been investigated using reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The compounds tested have been pindolol and, for comparison purposes, indole and 4-methoxyindole. The retention behaviour has been analysed on a Kromasil 100 C18 column and the mobile

Plants synthesize numerous ecologically specialized, lineage-specific metabolites through biosynthetic gene duplication and functional specialization. However, it remains unclear how duplicated genes are wired into existing regulatory networks. We show that the duplicated gene CYP82C2 has been recruited into the WRKY33 regulon

The plant kingdom produces hundreds of thousands of specialized bioactive metabolites, some with pharmaceutical and biotechnological importance. Their biosynthesis and function have been studied for decades, but comparatively less is known about how transcription factors with overlapping functions and contrasting
