Common Names: Chinese chestnut
The identification of a lipid transfer protein gene in chestnut improved tolerance to drought stress and increased ROS-scavenging enzymes. It also altered and upregulated specific fatty acyls and glycerophospholipids, aiding in understanding chestnut's adaptation to environmental stresses.
Chestnut bur polyphenol extract (CBPE) disrupts cell structure and decreases activity in bacteria, increasing cell membrane permeability. Analysis reveals CBPE inhibits bacteria through multiple pathways, making it a potential treatment for infection.
