ABSTRACT Goji is recognized as a nutritionally rich superfruit with medicinal and industrial importance. However, its inherently indeterminate growth habit causes asynchronous flowering and uneven fruit ripening, resulting in harvesting inefficiency with high labour costs and low fruit yield.

ABSTRACT The plant‐derived specialized metabolite montbretin A (MbA) is under development as an improved treatment for Type 2 diabetes, a worldwide epidemic. MbA is an acylated flavonol glycoside so far only found in small amounts in montbretia (Crocosmia × crocosmiiflora) corms.

ABSTRACT Historically cultivated for medicinal and dyeing purposes, safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) saw a shift towards widespread oilseed production after the 1920s due to the growing importance of oils. However, there is a renewed interest in its medicinal and dyeing properties today.

Out of the blue: family-wide loss of anthocyanin biosynthesis in Cucurbitaceae. [PDF]
Significance Statement Anthocyanins are nearly universal plant pigments, making their evolutionary loss unexpected. Phylogenomics across Cucurbitaceae reveals the consistent absence of key structural and regulatory genes in the anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin pathways, indicating a family‐wide pathway loss. We propose Cucurbitaceae as a ‘natural knock‐

New insights into regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in fruits
Anthocyanins are important health-promoting pigments that make a major contribution to the quality of fruits. The biosynthetic pathway leading to anthocyanins is well known and the key regulatory genes controlling the pathway have been isolated in many ...

ABSTRACT Light is a primary environmental signal that induces plant anthocyanin accumulation. The plant growth regulator 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has also been proven to effectively promote anthocyanin accumulation in apple. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unknown.

ABSTRACT Soil salinisation severely constrains crop production. Legumes rely on rhizobial symbiosis for sustainable nitrogen acquisition. Although salinity is known to impair nodulation and nitrogen fixation, how symbiosis influences plant tolerance to salt stress remains unclear.

ABSTRACT Sorghum anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum sublineola (C. sublineola) is a destructive disease leading to severe crop damages. Pterostilbene is a phytoalexin that contributes to defence responses in sorghum, but the transcriptional regulation of its biosynthesis remained poorly understood.

ABSTRACT Plants are dynamic chemical factories that produce diverse specialised metabolites essential for growth, defence, and environmental adaptation. Metabolomes, shaped by genetic architecture, enable plants to respond to abiotic and biotic pressures, including temperature fluctuations.

Isolation and expression analysis of anthocyanin biosynthetic genes in Morus alba L.
Anthocyanins from mulberry fruits are used in medicine. However, little anthocyanin can be detected in other tissues and sometimes also mulberry fruits are colorless.
