• A tomato tocopherol-binding protein sheds light on intracellular a-tocopherol metabolism in plants 

      Bermudez Salazar, Luisa; del Pozo, Talía; Lira, Bruno Silvestre; Godoy, Fabiana de; Boos, Irene; Romano, Cecilia; Previtali, Viola; Almeida, Juliana; Brehelin, Claire; Asis, Ramón; Quadrana, Leandro Daniel; Demarco, Diego; Alseekh, Saleh; Salinas Gamboa, Rigel; Perez-Flores, Laura; Dominguez, Pia Guadalupe; Rothan, Christophe; Fernie, Alisdair R.; Gonzalez, Maurıcio; Stocker, Achim; Hemmerle, Andreas; Clausen, Mads Hartving; Carrari, Fernando; Rossi, Magdalena (Oxford University Press, 2018-11)
      Tocopherols are non-polar compounds synthesized in the plastids, which function as major antioxidants of the plant cells and are essential in the human diet. Both the intermediates and final products of the tocopherol ...
    • Galacturonosyltransferase 4 silencing alters pectin composition and carbon partitioning in tomato 

      Godoy, Fabiana de; Bermúdez, Luisa; Lira, Bruno Silvestre; Souza, Amanda Pereira de; Elbl, Paula; Demarco, Diego; Alseekh, Saleh; Insani, Ester Marina; Buckeridge, Marcos; Almeida, Juliana; Grigioni, Gabriela Maria; Fernie, Alisdair R.; Carrari, Fernando; Rossi, Magdalena (2013-04)
      Pectin is a main component of the plant cell wall and is the most complex family of polysaccharides in nature. Its composition is essential for the normal growth and morphology pattern, as demonstrated by pectin-defective ...
    • Phytochrome-dependent temperature perception modulates isoprenoid metabolism 

      Bianchetti, Ricardo; De Luca, Belen; De Haro, Luis Alejandro; Rosado, Daniele; Demarco, Diego; Conte, Mariana; Bermudez Salazar, Luisa; Freschi, Luciano; Fernie, Alisdair R.; Michaelson, Louise V.; Haslam, Richard P.; Rossi, Magdalena; Carrari, Fernando (American Society of Plant Biologists, 2020-07)
      Changes in environmental temperature influence many aspects of plant metabolism; however, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. In addition to their role in light perception, phytochromes (PHYs) ...
    • Silencing of the tomato Sugar Partitioning Affecting protein (SPA) modifies sink strength through a shift in leaf sugar metabolism 

      Bermudez Salazar, Luisa; de Godoy, Fabiana; Baldet, Pierre; Demarco, Diego; Osorio, Sonia; Quadrana, Leandro Daniel; Almeida de Souza, Juliana Beatriz; Asis, Ramón; Gibon, Yves; Fernie, Alisdair R.; Rossi, Maria Magdalena; Carrari, Fernando (Wiley; Society for Experimental Biology, 2014-03)
      Limitations in our understanding about the mechanisms that underlie source-sink assimilate partitioning are increasingly becoming a major hurdle for crop yield enhancement via metabolic engineering. By means of a ...
