Functionality Enhancement of Pullulan‐Based Composites for Food Packaging Applications

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Contemporary research in food packaging is focused on developing sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based materials. Pullulan, a microbial biopolymer traditionally employed as a food additive, is harnessing interest for food packaging applications due to its exceptional film‐forming ability, biodegradability, and nontoxic nature.

Characterization of underlying transcription factors that regulate betalain pigment formation in beets [PDF]

, 2017
The plant kingdom is a colorful place with most vascular plants producing phenylalanine-based red/violet anthocyanin pigment. Only a single order of flowering plants, the Caryophyllales, is known to produce an unusual pigment known as Betalain. Betalains

NUDIX hydrolases target specific inositol pyrophosphates and regulate phosphate homeostasis and bacterial pathogen susceptibility in Arabidopsis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 3123-3151, December 2025.
NUDIX‐type hydrolase enzymes of subclade I and II preferentially target the inositol pyrophosphate messengers 4‐ and 3‐InsP7, respectively. Inactivation of subclade II NUDTs disrupts phosphate homeostasis and enhances bacterial resistance, revealing connections between defense and nutrient signaling.

Aquilaria sinensis MYB‐Like Transcription Factor AsMYB1 Promotes 2‐(2‐Phenylethyl)Chromone Biosynthesis Through Interacting With 14‐3‐3 Family Protein AsGRF1

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 5800-5816, December 2025.
ABSTRACT 2‐(2‐Phenylethyl)chromones (PECs) are the primary constituents of agarwood, a valuable aromatic resin widely used in traditional oriental medicine and incense production, exhibiting diverse pharmacological activities. While we have previously reported a polyketide synthase (AsPECPS) playing a crucial role in the biosynthesis of PECs in ...

Differential Expression of Amaranth AtrDODA Gene Family Members in Betalain Synthesis and Functional Analysis of AtrDODA1-1 Promoter

Plants
Betalains differ from anthocyanins, and they cannot coexist in the same plant under natural conditions. The L-DOPA 4,5-dioxygenase encoded by the DODA gene is a key step in the pathway of betalain biosynthesis in Caryophyllales plants.

Versatile Applications of CRISPR‐Based Programmable T‐DNA Integration in Plants

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 5950-5964, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Agrobacterium‐mediated T‐DNA integration into plant genomes represents a cornerstone for transgenic expression in plant basic research and synthetic biology. However, random T‐DNA integration can disrupt essential endogenous genes or compromise transgene expression, stressing the need for targeted integration strategies.
