Lignin, the second most abundant biopolymer, is a promising renewable energy source and chemical feedstock. A key element of lignin biosynthesis unknown: how do precursors (monolignols) get from inside cell out to wall where they are polymerized? Modeling indicates that monolignols can passively diffuse through lipid bilayers, but this has not been tested experimentally. We demonstrate significant monolignol diffusion occurs when laccases, which consume monolignols, present on one side...
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that can mitigate heavy metal toxicity. Exogenous ABA and mimic 1 (AM1) were applied to study the influence on Zn uptake accumulation in Vitis vinifera L. cv. Merlot seedlings exposed excess Zn. The treated with either normal or levels of combination applications AM1. Excess exposure resulted decreased lateral root length, photosynthesis, elevated uptake, roots, trunks, stems, jasmonic content roots leaves, induced expression transportation-...
Flavonoids impart color and mouthfeel to grapes wine are very sensitive environmental conditions. Growth chamber experiments were performed investigate the effect of temperature regimes differences between day/night temperatures on anthocyanins flavonols in Merlot grapes. Among tested, ones with diurnal 20°C determined highest levels flavonols. Higher decreased those but increased proportion methoxylated acylated species. When same day different night compared, did not affect anthocyanins,...
Emerging evidences support that oral microbiota are associated with health and diseases of esophagus. How change in Chinese patients esophageal cancer (EC) is unknown, neither the biomarker role them. For an objective to understand alterations EC patients, we conducted a case-control study including saliva samples from 39 51 healthy volunteers. 16S rDNA genes V3-V4 variable regions were sequenced identify taxon. Relationship between flora disease was analyzed according alpha diversity beta...
In fruits, cuticular waxes affect fruit quality traits such as surface color at harvest and water loss during postharvest storage. This study investigated the transcriptional regulation of wax deposition in northern highbush blueberries (
Societal Impact Statement In blueberry, fruit color is one of the most important quality traits affecting consumers' choices. Both pigments and waxes impact color; however, their roles have not been clearly elucidated. Here, contributions anthocyanins to are characterized. A higher content β‐diketones—the second largest wax group in blueberries—determines a lighter hence revealing that, at harvest, contribute more than determining variations among blueberry varieties. Summary Fruit major...
Reflux Esophagitis (RE) is caused by a variety of factors including anatomical and functional alterations involved in the pathogenesis. Oral microbiota influenced many such as heredity, nutrition, environments host conditions, but little known about relationship between oral RE. The aim this study was to explore whether changed patients with RE.To clarify correlation, fresh saliva samples from all subjects were collected then microorganism diversity analysed 55 RE 51 controls via...
Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. At present, molecular mechanism HCC remains unclear. A recent circular RNA (circRNA) profiling study showed that circRBM23 expression was upregulated in tissues. Therefore, this study, impact during progression evaluated. The levels and miR-138 tissues cell lines were determined by RT-PCR results indicated increased lines, whereas decreased. An upregulation cells shown to increase viability, also ability...
Soft-ripened cheeses (SRCs) are at a higher risk for the growth of foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes due to favorable moisture content and pH compared other cheeses.
Cannabis plants produce a spectrum of secondary metabolites, encompassing cannabinoids and more than 300 non-cannabinoid compounds. Among these, anthocyanins have important functions in also well documented health benefits. Anthocyanins are largely responsible for the red/purple color phenotypes plants. Although some well-known varieties display wide range pigmentation, genetic underpinnings anthocyanin biosynthesis not been characterized Cannabis. This study unveils diversity genes found...
