Plant Biology, EarlyView.Benzamides boost crop resilience by inhibiting poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) to enhance stress tolerance and, through their antimicrobial, herbicidal, and insecticidal derivatives, they offer broad protection for sustainable crop improvement. Abstract Benzamides have emerged as potent stress inhibitors and growth promoters in plant biotechnology ...

Application of Natural Pigments in Ordinary Cooked Ham
Molecules, 2020 The possibility of obtaining a carmine or pink color on ordinary cooked ham by applying natural dyes from three plant species, namely red radish (Raphanus sativus L.), hibiscus (Roselle sabdariffa L.) and red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.), was investigated.

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.

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 ...

Production of Betacyanins in Transgenic Nicotiana tabacum Increases Tolerance to Salinity
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Although red betalain pigments (betacyanins) have been associated with salinity tolerance in some halophytes like Disphyma australe, efforts to determine whether they have a causal role and the underlying mechanisms have been hampered by a lack of a ...

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Different pretreatments significantly affected the drying kinetics and quality attributes of vacuum‐dried red beetroot snacks. Microwave pretreatment markedly shortened the drying time and enhanced effective moisture diffusivity, while ultrasound pretreatment preserved the highest betalain content.

Engineering Betalain Biosynthesis in Tomato for High Level Betanin Production in Fruits
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Betalains are pigments found in plants of the Caryophyllales order, and include the red-purple betacyanins and the yellow-orange betaxanthins. The red pigment from red beets, betanin, is made from tyrosine by a biosynthetic pathway that consists of a ...

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.

Aminophosphonate-Induced Changes of Betacyanine and Ionic Efflux
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2001 Betacyanine and ionic leakage from red beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. L. rapacea) roots and lilac (Syringa vulgaris L.) leaves under the influence of new aminophosphonates were studied by spectroscopic and conductometric methods. It was found that the leakage of dye or electrolytes depended both on the concentration of the compounds used and their structural
