From Nasty to Tasty Some of our favorite food crops derive from wild relatives that were distasteful or even toxic. Domestication over many years selected for variants with reduced levels antinutritional compounds. The remain valuable, however, other traits such as resistance pathogens, but their use in crop development is complicated by the continued presence unpalatable Itkin et al. (p. 175 , published online 20 June) elucidate metabolic pathways and genes directing synthesis some these...
Early blight (EB), caused by Alternaria solani, is a major threat to global tomato production. In comparison with cultivated (Solanum lycopersicum), wild relative, S. arcanum exhibits strong resistance against EB. However, molecular cascades operating during EB in or plants are largely obscure. Here, we provide novel insight into spatio-temporal events A. solani. Transcriptome and co-expression analysis presented 33-WRKYs as promising candidates of which 12 SaWRKYs displayed differential...
Paddy rice has gained attention beyond its role as a staple food, now recognized for neuroprotective properties due to rich phytochemical content. Compounds like tocotrienols, gamma-oryzanol, and phenolic acids in paddy exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroregenerative properties. These compounds help reduce oxidative stress, manage neuroinflammation, balance neurotransmitter function, promote neurogenesis, supporting overall brain health potentially delaying neurodegenerative...
