Cellulose-based food packaging has a significant importance in reducing plastic pollution and also ensuring our safety from microplastics. Nonetheless, lignocellulose necessitates sophisticated physical chemical treatments to be fashioned into satisfactory packaging, thus leading extra consumption operations. Here, we present gel-assisted biosynthesis approach for the situ production of bacterial cellulose (BC) that can directly applied packaging. Komagataeibacter sucrofermentans is...

Lipid molecules are key structural components of plant male reproductive organs, such as the anther and pollen. Although advances have been made in understanding acyl lipids reproduction, metabolic pathways other lipid compounds, particularly glycerolipids, not fully understood. Here we report that an endoplasmic reticulum-localized enzyme, Glycerol-3-Phosphate Acyltransferase 3 (OsGPAT3), plays indispensable role development pollen formation rice. OsGPAT3 is preferentially expressed tapetum...

Glucoraphanin (GRA), a glucosinolate particularly abundant in broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) sprouts, can be converted to sulforaphane (SFN) by the enzyme myrosinase. Herein, we investigated anti-obesogenic effects of sprout powder (BSP), mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seed (MSP), and sulforaphane-rich MSP-BSP mixture (MBP) bisphenol A (BPA)-induced 3T3-L1 cells obese C57BL/6J mice. In vitro experiments showed that MBP, BSP, MSP have no cytotoxic effects. Moreover, MBP BSP inhibited...
