Anthocyanins are a group of colorful and bioactive natural pigments with important physiological ecological functions in plants. We found an MYB transcription factor (PtrMYB119) from Populus trichocarpa that positively regulates anthocyanin production when expressed under the control CaMV 35S promoter transgenic Arabidopsis Amino acid sequence analysis revealed PtrMYB119 is highly homologous to PAP1 (PRODUCTION OF ANTHOCYANIN PIGMENT1), well-known transcriptional activator biosynthesis....

Red and blue artificial light sources are commonly used as photosynthetic lighting in smart farm facilities, they can affect the metabolisms of various primary secondary metabolites. Although soybean plant contains major flavonoids such isoflavone flavonol, using factors to produce specific from this remains difficult because regulation light-responded is poorly understood. In study, metabolic profiling seedlings response red lights was evaluated, isoflavone-flavonol regulatory mechanism...

Both anthocyanins and lignins are essential secondary metabolites in plant growth development. Their biosynthesis is metabolically interconnected diverges the central metabolite 4-coumaroyl CoA of phenylpropanoid pathway. Considerable progress has been made understanding transcriptional regulation genes involved lignin anthocyanin synthesis pathways, but concerted these pathways not yet fully understood. Here, we functionally characterized PtrMYB120, a R2R3-MYB transcription factor from...

The development of soybean with high antioxidant activities for use in the food and cosmetics industries is a target breeding programs. In soybean, antioxidants are associated seed color, although metabolic basis coloration remains incompletely understood. We selected six γ-ray-induced mutant lines that exhibited black, partially brown, or yellowish-white pigmentation coat. Antioxidant activity contents anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols, isoflavones were evaluated coat cotyledons. black brown seeds...

The bitter taste of M. charantia fruit limits its consumption, although the health benefits are well known. thermal drying process is considered as an alternative method to reduce bitterness. However, processing studies have rarely investigated physiochemical changes in stages. antioxidant activities and properties various stages were using different treatments. color thermally treated varied depending on temperature. When heat-treated for 3 days, samples from 30 °C 90 treatments turned...

In the thermal-drying processing of astringent persimmon fruit, tissue-specific changes in key antioxidants have hardly been investigated, while they well investigated flesh. We report here different patterns antioxidant activities thermally processed flesh and peel persimmon, with analyses carotenoids, condensed hydrolysable tannins, total phenolics flavonoids. The powders presented colors on basis drying temperatures: brown 30 °C; light yellow 60 dark 90 °C, respectively. Non-maillard...

The edible flowers of marigold (Tagetes spp.) are cultivated for their aesthetic appeal and high utility as functional health food ingredients. Carotenoid flavonoid contents in petals highlight the importance selecting appropriate cultivar its processing methods industrial applications. comparative understanding effects dry on components across different cultivars is still lacking. Therefore, this study investigated compound changes effect four with distinct flower shapes (Durango, Inca)...

L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa)-rich faba (Vicia L.) tissues are a potentially useful source for its pharmaceutical purpose, although the species contains health curious vicine and convicine in seeds. We determined contents of L-dopa, vicine, different plants throughout entire growth period. The three compounds accumulated germinating sprouts showed high at 8 days germination, especially epicotyl containing 132.33 mg∙g−1 DW 19.81 10.38 convicine, respectively. compared among leaves...

Background: There have been several reports describing the capability of ginseng extracts as an adjuvant.In this study, we tested if ginsan, a polysaccharide extracted from Panax ginseng, was effective in enhancing antibody response to orally delivered Salmonella antigen.Methods: Ginsan treated before oral salmonella antigen administration.Salmonella specific determined by ELISA.mRNA expression RT-PCR.Cell migration confocal microscopy and flow cytometry.COX detected western blot.Results:...

The isoflavone changes occurring in mature soybeans during food processing have been well studied, but less information is available on the immature thermal processing. This study aimed to determine effect of by dry- or wet-heating profiles and soybeans. In malonylglycoside forms isoflavone, their deglycosylation was more severe after than dry-heating regardless soybean maturity. malonyl isoflavones seeds were drastically degraded a short process. acetylglycoside produced relatively low...

Kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata (Willd.) Sanjappa & Pradeep) is a perennial leguminous vine, and its root flower have been used for herbal medicine in Asia long time. Most dietary flavonoids are reported to be concentrated root, not aerial parts including leaves. In this study, we investigated whether kudzu leaf major constituent, robinin (kaempferol-3-O-robinoside-7-O-rhanmoside) possessed anti-inflammatory activity. To test hypothesis, peritoneal macrophages isolated from BALB/c...

Isoflavones are major secondary metabolites that exclusively produced by legumes, including soybean. Soy isoflavones play important roles in human health as well the plant defense system. The isoflavone content is influenced minor-effect quantitative trait loci, which interact with polygenetic and environmental factors. It has been difficult to clarify regulation of biosynthesis because its complex heritability influence external Here, using a genotype-by-sequencing-based genome-wide...

This study aims to examine the current status of evidence-based practice (EBP) courses and EBP-related in Korean nursing education systems.Subject institutions were 159 including 99 universities 60 colleges with a bachelor's degree program accredited by Accreditation Board Nursing Education. Two researchers independently collected data from subject based on curricula published website each university or college, datasets cross-checked ensure accuracy.EBP found small portion (13.2%). Research...

Marigold petals contain numerous antioxidative flavonoids and carotenoids that can be affected by environmental stressors. There is yet no detailed study on the relationship between phytochemical accumulation stressors in marigold petals. This evaluated quercetin derivatives antioxidant activity response to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiation methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment. The limiting UV-B radiation intensity MeJA dose caused wilting damage under 1-h daily treatment for 10 days were <2...
