Background: Crop fungal diseases cause huge yield losses globally, and the abuse of chemical fungicides has led to severe resistance and environmental risks. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent ideal green alternatives, but poor salt tolerance and high production costs limit their field application. Results: In thi...

Umbelliferone, a key precursor for the biosynthesis of high-value furanocoumarin derivatives, is produced via the shikimate pathway. The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica possesses an inherently robust shikimate pathway; however, de novo biosynthesis of umbelliferone in this microbial chassis has not been realized t...

Diosgenin is an important steroidal sapogenin widely used for the industrial production of steroidal drugs. Phytosulfokine-α (PSK-α) is a sulfated pentapeptide hormone known to regulate plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, its role in the regulation of diosgenin biosynthesis remains unclear. Fenugr...
