Pulsed Electric Field Processing Enhances the Endothelial Bioefficacy of Red Beet (Beta vulgaris L.) Extracts by Restoring Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase–Nitric Oxide Signaling in High‐Fat Diet Rats

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Pulsed electric field (PEF) processing qualitatively reshapes the phytochemical profile of red beet extracts, resulting in enhanced endothelial bioefficacy. Compared with conventional extraction, PEF‐treated extracts more effectively restore nitric oxide signaling, suppress endothelial inflammation, and normalize vascular structure in high‐fat diet ...

Transcriptional Regulation of the Novel Theacrine Synthase Gene CsTcS2 by the CsTINY–CsWRKY33 Module Underpins Theacrine Biosynthesis in Camellia sinensis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4823-4843, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Theacrine (1,3,7,9‐tetramethyluric acid) is a purine alkaloid detected in multiple wild and specialised tea germplasms (Camellia sinensis) from South China, including Kucha. However, the molecular mechanisms governing its biosynthesis remain poorly understood. Here, we identify CsTcS2 as a novel theacrine synthase in tea plant.
