First Betalain-Producing Bacteria Break the Exclusive Presence of the Pigments in the Plant Kingdom
mBio, 2019 The biosynthesis of antioxidant pigments, namely, betalains, was believed to be restricted to Caryophyllales plants. This paper changes this paradigm, and enzyme mining from bacterial hosts promoted the discovery of bacterial cultures producing betalains.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2200-2210, 15 March 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Cacti, including pitaya (Hylocereus spp.), are rich in antioxidants that will undoubtedly gain importance under ongoing climate change as water resources decline. Yet the molecular basis linking composition to antioxidant function remains incompletely defined. We compared white‐fleshed H. undatus and red‐fleshed H. polyrhizus across

One‐Step ex Vitro Hairy Root Transformation of Soybean Using the RUBY Visible Reporter Gene
Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Rhizobium rhizogenes (formerly Agrobacterium rhizogenes)‐mediated hairy root transformation is one of the most efficient genetic engineering methods in soybean. In this study, we explored the feasibility of using the RUBY reporter gene in a one‐step ex vitro (hypocotyl cutting) transformation protocol in soybean.

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT The aim was to produce red cabbage microgreen foams and dry them by cast‐tape drying (CTD), freeze‐drying (FD), and oven drying (OD) to obtain powder and characterize them. The foam composition was water (74.7%), microgreens (14.2%), emulsifier (6.5%), pre‐gelatinized starch (2.8%), and maltodextrin (1.8%).

Rationale on the High Radical Scavenging Capacity of Betalains
Antioxidants, 2019 Betalains are water-soluble natural pigments of increasing importance as antioxidants for pharmaceutical use. Although non-phenolic betalains have lower capacity to scavenge radicals compared to their phenolic analogues, both classes perform well as ...
