Efficient ways to biosynthesize apiin
In a recent study published on 11 July 2023 in the journal Plant Physiology , a research team led by Professor Takeshi Ishimizu of Ritsumeikan University , Japan , set out to address this knowledge gap . They conducted a
series of experiments to identify and analyze the elusive ApiT of celery ( Apium graveolens ). The results of this study will help us develop efficient ways to biosynthesize apiin . “ This is the first identification of ApiT in plants ,” highlights Prof . Ishimizu “ Our findings will pave the way to biotechnological platforms for
