Abstract Acetophenones, which show scattered distribution across phylogenetically distant plants and fungi, play diverse roles in plant–plant, plant–insect, plant–microbiome and even animal–insect interactions. However, the enzymatic basis of acetophenone biosynthesis in plants remains unknown. Here we elucidate the complete biosynthetic pathway of picein (4-hydroxyacetophenone glucoside) from 4-coumaroyl-CoA using pear (Pyrus) as a study system.

Abstract CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1), which was first discovered as a central repressor of photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis, destabilizes proteins by ubiquitination in both plants and animals. However, it is unclear whether and how Arabidopsis COP1 mediates non-proteolytic ubiquitination to regulate photomorphogenesis.
