Transcriptome Analysis Clarified Genes Involved in Betalain Biosynthesis in the Fruit of Red Pitayas (Hylocereus costaricensis)

Molecules, 2019
The red flesh trait gives red pitayas more healthful components and a higher price, while the genetic mechanism behind this trait is unknown. In this manuscript, transcriptome analysis was employed to discover the genetic differences between white and ...

Systematic prioritization of candidate genes in camptothecin biosynthesis using multi‐omics and deep learning

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Camptothecin (CPT), a plant‐derived monoterpene indole alkaloid first identified in Camptotheca acuminata, is a drug precursor widely used for cancer chemotherapeutics. However, the full set of genes responsible for CPT biosynthesis remains unclear, hindering efforts to elucidate the complete pathway or establish biosynthetic production of CPT

Effect of thermal and high pressure processing on stability of betalain extracted from red beet stalks

, 2018
Red beet stalks are a potential source of betalain, but their pigments are not widely used because of their instability. In the present work, the applicability of high pressure processing (HPP) and high temperature short time (HTST) thermal treatment was
