The researchers studied the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in a blue and white flower. They identified new genes and transcription factors that regulate anthocyanin production. This information can be used to better understand and manipulate anthocyanin biosynthesis in plants.
Scientists studied the regulatory network and mechanisms of secondary xylem formation using hybrid poplar. They identified genes and miRNAs involved, providing insights for industries like papermaking and biofuels.
Researchers developed a method to measure thymoquinone (TQ) in serum for potential therapeutic use. They found high TQ concentrations in certain oil products, but TQ was not detectable in human serum after oral intake. Further studies are needed.
17 SKP1-like genes involved in ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation were identified in apples, with some genes associated with flowers or fruits. Their expression was influenced by various factors, aiding in the understanding and improvement of apple stress resistance.
Study analyzes bud development in high- and low-tillering orchardgrass genotypes, finding key roles for photosynthesis, carbohydrates, nitrogen, and phytohormones in tiller induction and development. Can inform breeding for higher forage yields in orchardgrass and other grasses.
The researchers studied the AP2/ERF genes in a potential fruit crop. They found 218 genes with notable variations, and identified their roles in hormone responses and stress. This study provides insights for breeding and improving fruit quality in harsh environments.
The study used ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis to improve the yield of flavonoids in L. They identified Cynaroside and Astragalin as potential anticancer compounds that inhibit cervical cancer growth by regulating signaling proteins. These compounds also induce apoptosis by increasing ROS levels.
Researchers found that S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase is the most stable reference gene in a medicinal herb, with potential to enhance alkaloid production through synthetic biology.
