Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of leek Allium porrum L. (Amaryllidaceae)
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Allium porrum was determined by Illumina single-end sequencing. The complete plastid genome was 152,732 bp in length containing a large single copy (LSC) of 81,744 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 17,910 bp,

DNA Double Strand Break Repair Is Important for the Longevity of Primed Seeds
ABSTRACT Germination of many crop species is improved by priming, which facilitates pre‐germinative metabolism through controlled hydration. However, priming is often associated with reduced seed longevity. Here, a screen of Arabidopsis thaliana DNA repair mutants identified dna ligase 6 and dna ligase 4 (lig6lig4) seeds as most sensitive to ageing of ...

Inheritance and enzymatic basis of anthocyanin malonylation in Fragaria × ananassa
Significance Statement Fruits from various cultivars of the cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) exhibit significant variation in the levels of malonylated anthocyanins, which is attributed to the differential expression of malonyltransferase genes, whose products demonstrate acceptor substrate promiscuity.
