The persimmon fruit is a particularly good model for studying response to hypoxia, in particular, the hypoxia-response ERF (HRE) genes. An anaerobic environment reduces astringency by converting soluble condensed tannins (SCTs) into an insoluble form. Although physiology of de-astringency has been widely studied, its molecular control poorly understood. Both CO2 and ethylene treatments efficiently removed from 'Mopan' fruit, as indicated decrease SCTs. Acetaldehyde, putative agent causing...
Abstract Horticultural commodities suffer chilling injury following exposure to extremely low temperatures, which results in visible symptoms and considerable quality loss. Therefore, it is of significance understand the mechanism this physiological disorder develop effective strategies control it. Chilling stress causes alteration structure function plasma membrane, assumed be primary event response cold stress. During process, membrane lipid metabolism plays a pivotal role fluidity...
A hypoxic environment is generally undesirable for most plants and stimulates anaerobic metabolism. It a beneficial treatment, however, the removal of astringency from persimmon to improve fruit quality after harvest. High soluble tannins (SCTs) content one important causes astringency. CO2 (95%) treatment effectively reduced SCTs in both "Mopan" "Gongcheng-shuishi" by causing increases acetaldehyde. Using RNA-seq realtime PCR, twelve ethylene response factor genes (DkERF11-22) were isolated...
Lotus root attracts increasing attention mainly because of its phenolic compounds known as natural antioxidants. Its thirteen varieties were systematically analyzed on the content, distribution, composition and antioxidant activity for a better understanding this aquatic vegetable. The respective mean contents total phenolics in their flesh, peel nodes 1.81, 4.30 7.35 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g fresh weight (FW), those flavonoids 3.35, 7.69 15.58 rutin equivalents/g FW. determined by...
Red coloration contributes to fruit quality and is determined by anthocyanin content in peach ( Prunus persica ). Our previous study illustrated that accumulation strongly regulated light, the effect of induction differs according light quality. Here we showed both ultraviolet-A (UVA) ultraviolet-B (UVB) irradiation promoted biosynthesis “Hujingmilu” fruit, a combination UVA UVB had additional effects. The expression signaling related genes, including transcription factor genes elements,...
We investigated the effect of quercetin on growth and plasma cholesterol level effects pretreatment (Diet 1, 0%; Diet 2, 0.25%; 3, 0.5% quercetin) for 30 60 days oxidative stress induced by hypo-osmotic conditions (17.5, 8.75, 4 psu) in olive flounder.The weights flounder were higher with 3 than 1 which indicated that a high concentration 3) was very effective growth.Total levels lower Diets 2 leading us to hypothesize removed low-density lipoproteins from circulation thereby reduced total...
A 44.7-kDa polysaccharide LPIIa from longan pulp was mainly composed of →6)-Glc-(1→, →5)-Ara-(1→, →4)-Man-(1→ and →6)-Gal-(1→. It stimulated macrophage activation partly<italic>via</italic>TLR4 TLR2, followed by p38 MAPK- NF-κB-dependent signaling pathways.
Abstract Fresh-cut Chinese water chestnuts (CWCs) are prone to quality deterioration during storage, which does not meet consumer demand. In this study, the effect of exogenous melatonin (5 mmol·L−1) on and potential mechanisms in fresh-cut CWC was investigated. The results showed that treatment alleviated cut-surface discoloration CWCs. Not only did significantly slow down increase browning degree yellowness (b∗) as well decrease lightness (L∗), but it also delayed loss weight total soluble...
Abstract Cold-induced sweetening (CIS) results in browning and acrylamide formation fried potato products. β-Amylase (BAM) vacuolar invertase (INV) are crucial for starch–sugar conversion cold-stored potatoes. This research investigates the effects of salicylic acid (SA) treatment on CIS potatoes gene regulation during this process. The findings revealed that SA significantly alleviated by suppressing StBAM1 StINV1 expression potato. Moreover, two transcription factors (TFs), StAP2/ERF...
The 1092 bp F3H gene from Trapa bispinosa Roxb., which was named TbF3H, cloned and it encodes 363 amino acids. Bioinformatic phylogenetic tree analyses revealed the high homology of TbF3H with flavanone 3-hydroxylase other plants. A functional analysis showed that Roxb. encoded a 3-hydroxylase; catalyzed formation dihydrokaempferol (DHK) naringenin in S. cerevisiae. promoter strengths were compared by fluorescence microscopy flow cytometry detection intensity reporter genes initiated each...
Ethylene response factor ( ERF ) genes have been involved in responses to biotic and abiotic stress, including hypoxia anaerobic stress. Vacuum packaging (a typical stress) is an effective storage method used delay browning of fresh-cut lotus root Nelumbo nucifera ). In model plants, identified as responsive hypoxia. Whether associated with vacuum-packaged has not studied. The effects vacuum on browning, phenolic content, the enzyme activity phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), polyphenol...
The effects of amino acid-involved Maillard reactions (MRs) on the structure and activities longan pulp polysaccharides (LPs), which were heteropolysaccharides mainly composed glucose, galactose, mannose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, ribose, galacturonic investigated. changes browning degree molecular weight (Mw) distribution in MR systems containing LPs acids (lysine, proline, or glycine) indicated that lysine was more active conjugating with LPs. MR-modified (MLPs) obtained via a 4 h between...
Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn) is a wetland vegetable famous for its nutritional and medicinal value. Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites that play important roles in the browning of fresh-cut fruits vegetables, chemical constituents extracted from lotus medicine due to their high antioxidant activity. Studies have explored depth changes phenolic during browning, while little known about synthesis formation rhizome. In this study, transcriptomic analyses six samples were performed...
