Complete blockage of the mevalonate pathway results in male gametophyte lethality (2009)
Suzuki, Masashi, Nakagawa, Shoko, Kamide, Yukiko, Kobayashi, Keiko, Ohyama, Kiyoshi, Hashinokuchi, Hiromi, ...
Plants have two isoprenoid biosynthetic pathways: the cytosolic mevalonate (MVA) pathway and the plastidic 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway. Since the discovery of the MEP pathway,...
Plants Utilize Isoprene Emission as a Thermotolerance Mechanism (2007)
Sasaki, Kanako, Saito, Takuya, Lämsä, Mari, Oksman-Caldentey, Kirsi-Marja, Suzuki, Masashi, Ohyama, Kiyoshi, ...
Isoprene is a volatile compound emitted from leaves of many plant species in large quantities, which has an impact on atmospheric chemistry due to its massive global emission rate (5 × 1014 carbon g...
Kobayashi, Keiko, Suzuki, Masashi, Tang, Jianwei, Nagata, Noriko, Ohyama, Kiyoshi, Seki, Hikaru, ...
Higher plants have two metabolic pathways for isoprenoid biosynthesis: the cytosolic mevalonate (MVA) pathway and the plastidal non-mevalonate (MEP) pathway. Despite the compartmentalization of these...
Lanosterol Synthase in Dicotyledonous Plants (2006)
Suzuki, Masashi, Xiang, Ting, Ohyama, Kiyoshi, Seki, Hikaru, Saito, Kazuki, Muranaka, Toshiya, ...
Sterols are important as structural components of plasma membranes and precursors of steroidal hormones in both animals and plants. Plant sterols show a wide structural variety and significant...

Glycyrrhizin, a major bioactive compound derived from the underground parts of Glycyrrhiza (licorice) plants, is a triterpene saponin that possesses a wide range of pharmacological properties and is...
Zhang, Hairong, Ohyama, Kiyoshi, Boudet, Julie, Chen, Zhizhong, Yang, Jilai, Zhang, Min, ...
Dolichols are long-chain unsaturated polyisoprenoids with multiple cellular functions, such as serving as lipid carriers of sugars used for protein glycosylation, which affects protein trafficking in...
Dual biosynthetic pathways to phytosterol via cycloartenol and lanosterol in Arabidopsis
Ohyama, Kiyoshi, Suzuki, Masashi, Kikuchi, Jun, Saito, Kazuki, Muranaka, Toshiya
The differences between the biosynthesis of sterols in higher plants and yeast/mammals are believed to originate at the cyclization step of oxidosqualene, which is cyclized to cycloartenol in higher...
