Common Names: peach
Chilean peach growers studied genetic regulation of sugar accumulation in peaches. Identified 91 genes on chromosome 5 as potential regulators. Findings important for improving peach fruit quality in breeding programs.
Pear decline phytoplasma can impact pear and peach fitness. Transcriptomic analysis of C. pyricola reveals genetic differences and potential insect and pathogen effector proteins. Study provides insight for pest management.
Endophyte bacteria Pseudomonas protegens QNF1 VOCs inhibit Monilinia fructicola, reducing brown rot on peach fruits by 98.76%. This offers a natural alternative to chemical control, potentially saving the peach industry money and improving fruit quality.
Study on genus Prunus in India found 19 important species with nutritional and economic value. Newly discovered species shows potential for pharmacological research due to high phenolic content and therapeutic significance. The genus exhibits antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and hypoglycemic properties, making it important for further study.
Researchers compared CHM bath therapy to topical calcipotriol for psoriasis vulgaris. CHM may be as effective as calcipotriol with added benefits from herb combinations. Consider CHM as an alternative treatment for psoriasis.
MLP proteins in peaches help improve chilling stress tolerance, reducing post-harvest cold storage damage. PpMLP10 enhances membrane stability and is regulated by PpWRKY2. Important for fruit quality preservation.
Researchers analyzed flavonoids in red-flesh apples, purple leaf plums, and purple leaf peaches using mass spectrometry. Results showed 311 metabolites, with differences in flavonoid content influencing appearance and nutritional quality. Understanding these variations can inform breeding and cultivation practices in the Rosaceae family.
Researchers studied the impact of Xap on peach trees, finding it threatens yield and quality globally. Understanding this disease is crucial for effective management in peach cultivation.
PpLBD16, a transcription factor in peach plants, promotes root formation by activating genes related to cell wall synthesis, ion transport, and peach root organogenesis. Understanding its regulatory network can enhance LR development.
Researchers developed an electrochemical sensor using peach extract and graphene to detect BHA in mayonnaise. The sensor showed improved sensitivity and accuracy in quantifying BHA. This information is valuable for making informed decisions regarding BHA levels in food products.
TSD is a traditional Chinese medicine used to improve blood circulation. Its effects on heart injury caused by lack of blood supply and subsequent reperfusion have not been studied in terms of autophagy and pyroptosis.
Researchers investigated the molecular regulatory network during auxin-mediated peach fruit expansion, an important stage for fruit yield and quality. Understanding this network can help optimize fruit production and improve crop quality.
Researchers investigated the anti-endometriosis effect of the traditional Chinese medicine pair "Rhubarb-Peach Kernel" (RP) and its mechanism of action. Using network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental verification, they found that RP induces apoptosis and could be effective in treating endometriosis.
Researchers explored how postharvest melatonin treatment affected antioxidant activity and GABA biosynthesis in stored peach fruit. They found that melatonin treatment helped maintain firmness, color, and sugar content in the fruit. It also decreased levels of harmful compounds while boosting antioxidant enzymes and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems. Melatonin treatment increased GABA content and up-regulated the expression of GABA biosynthesis genes while suppressing the degradation gene, promoting the accumulation of endogenous GABA. This study shows that melatonin treatment is an effective way to improve peach fruit quality.
This review highlights the potential of using peach by-products, such as peel, stone, and pomace, as sources of bioactive compounds for new functional food products. These by-products make up 10% of the global annual production of peaches. The review includes information on recent peach production, extraction methods for valuable components, and in vivo studies demonstrating anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and anti-cerebral ischemia activities. The circular bioeconomy approach encourages the use of these by-products for sustainable food production. The review provides proposals for further studies on food-product design.
This study investigated the impact of an allergen called Pru p 9, found in peach tree pollen, on workers who are exposed to it.
