Yaoyao Song Data-verified

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yaoyao Song investigates biochemical pathways in plants, particularly within the *Lathyrus* genus. Song's research focuses on enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism and their regulatory roles. Publications detail the function of β-cyanoalanine synthase and serine acetyltransferase in the accumulation of β-ODAP, a compound found in *Lathyrus sativus*. Additional work explores the selection of reference genes for gene expression analysis in *Lathyrus sativus* under various stress conditions. Song also examines the biosynthesis of β-N-oxalyl-L-α,β-diaminopropionic acid, a neurotoxin, in *Lathyrus sativus* and *Pisum sativum*. Research has also extended to the metabolic engineering of yeast for industrial applications, including cold tolerance enhancement in *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*. Song collaborates with researchers at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
