Researchers identified an increasing incidence of Candida albicans infections. Current antifungal drugs have limited efficacy, drug resistance, high toxicity, and cost. Urgent need for new antifungal drugs.
UV-C pretreatment of carrots effectively reduces L. monocytogenes contamination, with lasting antimicrobial effects. This method can prevent pathogen growth during storage, especially for various carrot varieties. Future research should investigate the mechanism of this bactericidal efficacy.
Researchers developed strain-specific enrichment media based on AMR features to improve Shigella recovery from outbreak-associated foods. Custom selective enrichment improved Shigella recovery, aiding in foodborne shigellosis outbreak investigations.
Researchers compared treatments for bacterial blight in carrot seeds. 0.0196% carvacrol solution effectively eliminates Xanthomonas while maintaining seed germination, potentially offering a cost-effective alternative to sodium hypochlorite treatment.
A new plant growth hormone-producing strain was discovered from soil in China. It is genetically distinct from other Microbacterium species and can grow in various conditions. It is proposed as a new species called Microbacterium dauci.
Researchers studied the effects of insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) on obesity, inflammation, and diabetes. IDF has positive effects on these conditions, making it important for overall health.
Glutamate treatment improved flavor, GABA content, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity in fresh-cut carrots. Beneficial for maintaining nutritional quality and color.
Wild carrot (L. ssp. carota) contains multiple bioactive compounds with potential antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. While traditionally used for various therapeutic purposes, more research is needed to verify its additional applications and establish its safety and efficacy.
The researchers modified centromeric histone H3 in carrot plants to induce uniparental genome elimination, potentially leading to ploidy changes. This may be important for developing high-yield hybrid cultivars in carrots.
Carrots (L.) have bioactive compounds with health benefits. Edible carrot root is rich in carotenoids and fiber, while wild carrot has been used for gastric ulcer and diabetes. This review explores the chemical composition and potential anticancer properties of both subspecies. Useful for cancer treatment research.
This study compares the genetic expression of Eastern and Western carrot cultivars. Eastern cv. has more stress-responsive genes and transcription factors, while Western cv. is dominant in photosynthesis and metabolic processes. This provides insights into root development and vascular cambium tissue patterning in carrots.
This study looked at how arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and carrot plants respond to drought. Drought decreased photosynthesis and plant growth, and decreased root colonization. Genes related to symbiosis were downregulated in carrot but upregulated in the fungus. This shows that carrot plants reduce their investment in symbiosis during drought, while the fungus increases its efforts.
This study analyzed the characteristics of four types of microgreens and found that they have high nutritional value and potential as a food additive. The results suggest that microgreens could be used in various food industries, benefiting both the industry and consumers.
Study on vaccine hesitancy among college students explores factors like demographics, political ideology, parental vaccination status. Compliance techniques boost attitudes towards vaccination but have limited effect on actual vaccine uptake. Findings inform strategies to promote vaccination in this population.
This study found that fermented vegetable juice, made with certain lactic acid bacteria, can help reduce weight gain, liver fat accumulation, and lipid accumulation, potentially counteracting obesity.
