General description

Dhurrin is a cyanogenic glucoside found expressed in the leaves of Sorghum plants. Studies have shown that as the plant ages, dhurrin expression depends are nitrogen availability. Dhurrin production shifts from the leaves to the stems during development.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Focused and nontargeted approaches were used to assess the impact associated with introduction of new high-flux pathways in Arabidopsis thaliana by genetic engineering. Transgenic A. thaliana plants expressing the entire biosynthetic pathway for the tyrosine-derived cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin as accomplished

Cyanogenic glycosides are common plant toxins. Toxic hydrogen cyanide originating from cyanogenic glycosides may affect soil processes and water quality. In this study, hydrolysis, degradation and sorption of dhurrin (4-hydroxymandelonitrile-beta-d-glucoside) produced by sorghum has been studied in order to assess

In an important recent paper Kristensen et al. address a question of fundamental importance in plant biotechnology: how are metabolic pathways affected upon introduction of a transgene? Analysis of the transcriptome and metabolome of Arabidopsis thaliana engineered to produce the

The organization of cooperating enzymes into macromolecular complexes is a central feature of cellular metabolism. A major advantage of such spatial organization is the transfer of biosynthetic intermediates between catalytic sites without diffusion into the bulk phase of the cell.

Trends in plant science, 10(7), 305-307 (2005-06-14)
Metabolic engineering holds great promise as a technique for improving crop plants. However, introducing new metabolic steps can disturb normal metabolism and gene expression, affecting phenotype and quality in undesired ways. Recently, Charlotte Kristensen et al. reported that introducing the
