  • One goal of potato breeding is to reduce the accumulation of toxic solanidane glycoalkaloids. Here the authors show that potato DPS, a 2-oxoglutarate dependent dioxygenase, catalyzes ring rearrangement of a biosynthetic precursor to differentiate solanidanes from spirosolanes that are found in other solanaceous plants.

  • A study reports the crystal structures of the Arabidopsis thaliana cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP90B1—a rate-limiting enzyme of the brassinosteroid biosynthetic pathway—complexed with its substrate or inhibitors for brassinosteroid biosynthesis, providing insights into its function.
