Exogenous Ergothioneine and Glutathione Limit Postharvest Senescence of Arugula

Antioxidants
Arugula is susceptible to postharvest deterioration. We tested the impact of exogenous antioxidant (i.e., ergothioneine and glutathione) dip solutions on arugula quality during storage at 4 °C or 10 °C for up to 17 days relative to a non-antioxidant ...

Metal‐Free Ligand‐Centered Radical Scavenging in Pyridine‐Modified Tetraaza Macrocycles

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Ligand‐centered hydrogen‐atom transfer in pyridinophane macrocycles generates delocalized radicals, with Py2N2 enabling cooperative captodative stabilization and enhanced DPPH• quenching. Pyridine‐modified tetraaza macrocycles are widely studied as ligand platforms for metal coordination, yet their intrinsic redox and radical reactivity in the absence ...

Oxygen Depletion and the Role of Cellular Antioxidants in FLASH Radiotherapy: Mechanistic Insights from Monte Carlo Radiation-Chemical Modeling

Antioxidants
FLASH radiotherapy is a novel irradiation modality that employs ultra-high mean dose rates exceeding 40–150 Gy/s, far surpassing the typical ~0.03 Gy/s used in conventional radiotherapy.

Arterial Perivascular Space‐Mediated Solute Transport in the Mouse Brain

Exploration, EarlyView.
The mechanisms underlying solute clearance from the brain parenchyma remain debated, with competing hypotheses involving bulk cerebrospinal fluid flow versus perivascular transport. Using multimodal in vivo imaging and computational modeling in mice, this study demonstrates that arterial pulsation drives bidirectional solute movement within the ...

Cecytb-2, a Cytochrome b₅₆₁ Homolog, Functions as an Ascorbate-Specific Transmembrane Ferric Reductase at Intestinal Lumens of Caenorhabditis elegans

Biomolecules
One of the cytochrome b561 family members in C. elegans, named Cecytb-2, was investigated. Purified recombinant Cecytb-2 showed typical visible absorption spectra, EPR signals, and redox midpoint potentials, very similar to those of human Dcytb, which is

Natural Variations of ZmRLR1 Mediate the Root Lodging Resistance of Maize by Regulating Root Ascorbate and Auxin Homeostasis

Advanced Science
Root lodging is a major problem limiting crop yield and seed quality. Here, we showed that Root Lodging Resistance 1 (ZmRLR1) is specifically expressed in maize roots. The overexpression of ZmRLR1 increased the rhizosphere soil weight, stem pulling force

Drought Risk in Mango and Avocado Orchards: Insights Into Plant Water Relations and Irrigation‐Related Agronomic Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.
