Improving Red Pitaya Fruit Quality by Nano-Selenium Biofortification to Enhance Phenylpropanoid and Betalain Biosynthesis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Red pitaya, the representative tropical and subtropical fruit, is vulnerable to quality deterioration due to climate or agronomic measures. Nano-selenium (Nano-Se) has shown positive effects on crop biofortification in favour of reversing this situation.

Sucrose and light induced betalain biosynthesis in callus cultures of bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spp.)

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
An attempt was made to substantiate the optimum sucrose level and light conditions for biosynthesis of betalain pigments (betaxanthins and betacyaninins) from callus cultures of bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spp.).

The Biosynthesis and Functions of Flavonoids: Recent Advances From Studies Across Land Plant Diversity

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 3, June 2026.
Over the last decade there have been significant advances in genome sequencing and model species development for ferns, lycophytes, and the bryophyte lineages—mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. This has facilitated research on the biosynthesis and function of flavonoids in these non‐seed land‐plant lineages.

Phylogenetic history shapes the composition of floral scents in a specialized pollination mutualism

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3428-3443, June 2026.
Summary Most studies of the chemical ecology of plant–pollinator interactions emphasize the role of pollinator‐mediated selection in shaping floral scent composition. Nevertheless, phylogeny may constrain the metabolic pathways underlying these profiles, thereby influencing the evolutionary trajectory of the emitted signals.

Rooting Conifer Genetic Research: An Accessible and Efficient Transformation System

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4027-4040, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Conifers serve as the cornerstone of global forest ecosystems, yet their genetic transformation faces notorious challenges. To overcome the intrinsic resistance of conifer adventitious roots to Agrobacterium/Rhizobium‐mediated transformation, we systematically and iteratively engineered the binary vector by introducing chimeric Ri plasmid ...

Processing‐Induced Metabolic Reprogramming of Litsea coreana Modulates Its Phytochemical Profile and Bioactivities

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study employs untargeted metabolomics to investigate how processing methods (green, yellow, and black) reshape the phytochemical profile and bioactivities of hawk tea (Litsea coreana). The results reveal that the degree of fermentation drives a metabolic reprogramming from monomeric flavanols to complex polymeric pigments, with green hawk tea ...
