Integrated proteomic and metabolomic profiling identifies distinct molecular signatures and metabolic pathways associated with obesity and potential targets for anti-obesity therapies [PDF]
BackgroundAdipose tissue remodeling induced by bariatric surgery plays a pivotal role in promoting weight loss and metabolic improvement. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms, particularly protein-metabolite regulatory networks, remain poorly ...

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the autotetraploid yellow pitaya provides novel insights into evolution of trait patterning in pitaya species with different ploidy [PDF]
Background Yellow pitaya (Selenicereus megalanthus, 2n = 4x = 44) breeding remains severely hindered due to the lack of a reference genome. Results Here, we present a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of yellow pitaya using PacBio HiFi ...

Identification of <i>CqCYP76AD5v1</i>, a gene involved in betaxanthin biosynthesis in <i>Chenopodium quinoa</i>, and its product, betaxanthin, which inhibits amyloid-β aggregation. [PDF]
Betalain pigments, primarily produced by the order Caryophyllales, are categorized into betacyanins (red/purple) and betaxanthins (yellow/orange). While the biosynthetic pathways of these pigments are well-studied, the genes responsible for betaxanthin biosynthesis in quinoa were previously unknown.

Betalains in some species of the amaranthaceae family: A review [PDF]
Natural pigments are largely distributed in the plant kingdom. They belong to diverse groups, with distinct biochemical pathways. Betalains with colours that range from yellow to red-violet can de divided into two main subgroups: betaxanthins and ...
