    Abstract Multi-stemmed architecture is a common but overlooked tree growth form in tropical rainforests. Although multi-stemming is thought to be a key trait for tree persistence after disturbance, the role of multi-stemmed trees in post-disturbance demographic processes has been largely unexplored in logged rainforests. Here, we used decade-long measurements on nearly 14,000 tree stems to study post-logging growth and survival along a logging disturbance gradient in Malaysian Borneo. We found that multi-stemming enhanced tree persistence after logging. Along the entire disturbance gradient, multi-stemmed trees suffered significantly lower mortality than single-stemmed trees, and survival strongly increased with the number of stems. Small to medium-sized trees with multiple stems showed greater growth than similar-sized single-stemmed trees, with the difference increasing as the disturbance increased. Our findings demonstrate the significance of multi-stemmed architecture after logging in Borneo’s rainforests and highlight the need to consider the multi-stemmed growth form in forest inventories and models of post-disturbance forest dynamics.

    Abstract Sialic acids are a family of more than 50 structurally distinct acidic sugars on the surface of all vertebrate cells where they terminate glycan chains and are exposed to many interactions with the surrounding environment. In particular, sialic acids play important roles in cell-cell and host-pathogen interactions. The sialic acids or related nonulosonic acids have been observed in Deuterostome lineages, Eubacteria, and Archaea but are notably absent from plants. However, the structurally related C8 acidic sugar 3-deoxy-d-

    Abstract QS-21 is a potent vaccine adjuvant currently sourced by extraction from the Chilean soapbark tree. It is a key component of human vaccines for shingles, malaria, coronavirus disease 2019 and others under development. The structure of QS-21 consists of a glycosylated triterpene scaffold coupled to a complex glycosylated 18-carbon acyl chain that is critical for immunostimulant activity. We previously identified the early pathway steps needed to make the triterpene glycoside scaffold; however, the biosynthetic route to the acyl chain, which is needed for stimulation of T cell proliferation, was unknown. Here, we report the biogenic origin of the acyl chain, characterize the series of enzymes required for its synthesis and addition and reconstitute the entire 20-step pathway in tobacco, thereby demonstrating the production of QS-21 in a heterologous expression system. This advance opens up unprecedented opportunities for bioengineering of vaccine adjuvants, investigating structure-activity relationships and understanding the mechanisms by which these compounds promote the human immune response.

    Abstract Grass pea ( Lathyrus sativus ) is an underutilised crop with high tolerance to drought and flooding stress and potential for maintaining food and nutritional security in the face of climate change. The presence of the neurotoxin β-L-oxalyl-2,3-diaminopropionic acid (β-L-ODAP) in tissues of the plant has limited its adoption as a staple crop. To assist in the detection of material with very low neurotoxin toxin levels, we have developed two novel methods to assay ODAP. The first, a version of a widely used spectrophotometric assay, modified for increased throughput, permits rapid screening of large populations of germplasm for low toxin lines and the second is a novel, mass spectrometric procedure to detect very small quantities of ODAP for research purposes and characterisation of new varieties.

    Abstract The chemoenzymatic synthesis of a series of C6-modified GDP-d-Man sugar nucleotides is described. This provides the first structure–function tools for the GDP-d-ManA producing GDP-d-mannose dehydrogenase (GMD) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Using a common C6 aldehyde functionalization strategy, chemical synthesis introduces deuterium enrichment, alongside one-carbon homologation at C6 for a series of mannose 1-phosphates. These materials are shown to be substrates for the GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase from Salmonella enterica, delivering the required toolbox of modified GDP-d-Mans. C6-CH3 modified sugar-nucleotides are capable of reversibly preventing GDP-ManA production by GMD. The ketone product from oxidation of a C6-CH3 modified analogue is identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry.

    Abstract A suite of glycosylated glycerol derivatives representing various fragments of the glycosylated ichthyotoxins called prymnesins were chemically synthesised. Glycerol was used to represent a small fragment of the prymnesin backbone, and was glycosylated at the 2° position with the sugars currently reported to be present on prymnesin toxins. Neighbouring group participation was utilised to synthesise 1,2-trans-glycosides. SnCl

    Abstract Prymnesium parvum is a toxin-producing microalga, which causes harmful algal blooms globally, frequently leading to massive fish kills that have adverse ecological and economic implications for natural waterways and aquaculture alike. The dramatic effects observed on fish are thought to be due to algal polyether toxins, known as the prymnesins, but their lack of environmental detection has resulted in an uncertainty about the true ichthyotoxic agents. Using qPCR, we found elevated levels of P. parvum and its lytic virus, PpDNAV-BW1, in a fish-killing bloom on the Norfolk Broads, United Kingdom, in March 2015. We also detected, for the first time, the B-type prymnesin toxins in Broads waterway samples and gill tissue isolated from a dead fish taken from the study site. Furthermore, Norfolk Broads P. parvum isolates unambiguously produced B-type toxins in laboratory-grown cultures. A 2 year longitudinal study of the Broads study site showed P. parvum blooms to be correlated with increased temperature and that PpDNAV plays a significant role in P. parvum bloom demise. Finally, we used a field trial to show that treatment with low doses of hydrogen peroxide represents an effective strategy to mitigate blooms of P. parvum in enclosed water bodies.
