    • Evolution and diversification of the O-methyltransferase (OMT) gene family in Solanaceae 

      Pezzi, Pedro Henrique; Gonçalves, Leonardo Tresoldi; Deprá, Maríndia; Freitas, Loreta Brandão de (2023) [Journal article]
      O-methyltransferases (OMTs) are a group of enzymes involved in several fundamental biological processes in plants, including lignin biosynthesis, pigmentation, and aroma production. Despite the intensive investigation of ...

    • Evolutionary and structural aspects of Solanaceae RNases T2 

      Thompson, Claudia Elizabeth; Corrêa, Lauís Brisolara; Thompson, Helen Nathalia; Stassen, Hubert Karl; Freitas, Loreta Brandão de (2023) [Journal article]
      Plant RNases T2 are involved in several physiological and developmental processes, including inorganic phosphate starvation, senescence, wounding, defense against pathogens, and the self-incompatibility system. Solanaceae ...

    • Molecular evolution and functional divergence of alcohol dehydrogenases in animals, fungi and plants 

      Thompson, Claudia Elizabeth; Freitas, Loreta Brandão de; Salzano, Francisco Mauro (2018) [Journal article]
      Alcohol dehydrogenases belong to the large superfamily of medium-chain dehydrogenases/reductases, which occur throughout the biological world and are involved with many important metabolic routes. We considered the phylogeny ...
