An Overview of Carotenoids, Apocarotenoids, and Vitamin A in Agro-Food, Nutrition, Health, and Disease.

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2019
Carotenoids are fascinating compounds that can be converted into many others, including retinoids that also play key roles in many processes. Although carotenoids are largely known in the context of food science, nutrition, and health as natural ...

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

Integrated Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Revealed the Capsanthin Biosynthesis and Sequestration in Processing Type Red Pepper (Capsicum annuum var. conoides)

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study establishes that fruit color divergence in Yanjiao pepper cultivars arises from hierarchical regulation of carotenoid metabolism, driven by yellow‐blue chromaticity variation and cultivar‐specific metabolic strategies. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for breeding peppers with enhanced color stability and nutraceutical value ...

Decoding Biothreats With FT‐ICR‐MS: Metabotyping of Bacillus cereus Spores Through Untargeted Metabolomics

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 61, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Genome sequencing is the gold standard for microbial identification. However, it fails to distinguish closely related species with overlapping genetic features. This is the case of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus cytotoxicus, two members of the B. cereus group with distinct pathogenic profiles. While B. cereus, a well‐known opportunistic pathogen

Exploring the Impact of Apocarotenoids on Pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini and Endophytic Fo47 strains

bioRxiv
The Fusarium oxysporum species complex (FOSC) contains highly specific plant pathogens and some nonpathogenic strains, such as Fo47. In our work we concentrated on Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini (Foln), the specific flax pathogen and the endophytic strain

A Roadmap for Breeding Sweet Tomatoes

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
This graphical abstract outlines four breeding strategies for enhancing sugar content and sweetness in tomato fruits: (1) Identification of key genes and functional variant loci regulating fruit sugar accumulation through systematic germplasm collection, genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), map‐based cloning, and reverse genetics approaches.
