Rosehips are rich in vitamin C and bioactive compounds, making them ideal for skincare formulations. Different species have varying vitamin C levels and benefits for skin disorders. Various extraction methods can enhance bioactive compounds. Rosehip extracts show potential for treating various skin conditions and can be used in skincare products.
Scientists conducted a comprehensive analysis of the gene family in rose. They found that these genes play a role in defending against infection in roses. Understanding the function of these genes can help improve disease resistance in roses.
A study identified 18 TCP genes in roses, classified into 2 subgroups. These genes have roles in growth, development, hormone signaling, and stress responses. Segmental duplication events led to the expansion of the TCP gene family in roses, suggesting new functions. Provides insights into regulatory mechanisms for plant growth and development.
Researchers investigated 10 strains of bacteria that produce 3-ketolactose, found in plant roots. Through various tests, including DNA analysis, they identified four new species belonging to the genus Sphingomonas. These are Sphingomonas rosa, Sphingomonas pruni, Sphingomonas asaccharolytica, and Sphingomonas mali. Two strains previously identified as Chromobacterium lividum were also classified as Sphingomonas yanoikuyae. This study expands our understanding of the diversity of bacteria and their relationships with plants.
