A SQUAMOSA MADS Box Gene Involved in the Regulation of Anthocyanin Accumulation in Bilberry Fruits     [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2010
Abstract Anthocyanins are important health-promoting phytochemicals that are abundant in many fleshy fruits. Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is one of the best sources of these compounds. Here, we report on the expression pattern and functional analysis of a SQUAMOSA-class MADS box transcription factor, VmTDR4, associated with anthocyanin

Study of diversity of anthocyanin composition in bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruits

Medicina (Lithuania), 2007
Qualitative and quantitative composition of anthocyanins in bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruits was assayed. The aim of our study was to evaluate total anthocyanin content and their composition in bilberries collected from various regions and at different time. For the quantification of total anthocyanins in frozen fruits, the spectrophotometrical

Effects of Bilberry Fruit and Shoot Extracts on Renal Excretory Function

Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal, 2016
The diuretic and saluretic activities of aqueous and aqueous-alcoholic extracts of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruits and shoots were studied in laboratory animals. The results obtained here showed that aqueous extracts of shoots and preparations based on fresh bilberry fruits had moderate diuretic and saluretic activities.

MOLECULAR ASPECTS OF BILBERRY (V. MYRTILLUS) FRUIT RIPENING

Acta Horticulturae, 2009
The quality of fruits is determined by the different developmental steps via the complicated signaling cascade that is responsible for the metabolic and structural changes during fruit development and ripening. We have studied the development and ripening of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) at the molecular level. The focus has been on biosynthesis of

The influence of bilberry fruit on memory and the expression of parvalbumin in the rat hippocampus

Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2019
Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible effect of bilberry fruit (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) supplement in a daily diet on the cognitive behaviour of the rats and the expression of paravalbumin (PV) in populations of hippocampal neurons.

Isolation of bioactive constituents from Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) fruits and cell cultures

Plant Science, 1998
Tissues from bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruits and callus cultures were extracted and fractionated to investigate phytochemical bioactivity. Major fractions containing flavonoids (proanthocyanidins and anthocyanin pigments) and a hexane extract containing largely chlorophylls, carotenoids, sterols and lipids were isolated, and further screened ...

Resolving the developmental distribution patterns of polyphenols and related primary metabolites in bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) fruit

Food Chemistry, 2022
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a commercially important wild berry species, which accumulates high amounts of polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins, in the skin and flesh. Whilst a number of studies have quantified these phytochemicals in intact ripe bilberry fruit, we extend the current knowledge by investigating the spatial distribution of ...

Seasonal variations of the phenolic constituents in bilberry ( Vaccinium myrtillus L.) leaves, stems and fruits, and their antioxidant activity [PDF]

Food Chemistry, 2016
The seasonal variations of the content and diversity of phenolic compounds, as well as the antioxidant activity of leaves, stems and fruits of bilberry collected in May, July and September, were evaluated for two consecutive years. UPLC/MS(n) analyses showed the predominance of anthocyanins in fruits, caffeic acid derivatives in leaves whereas flavanol

Ascorbic acid metabolism during bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruit development

Journal of Plant Physiology, 2012
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) possesses a high antioxidant capacity in berries due to the presence of anthocyanins and ascorbic acid (AsA). Accumulation of AsA and the expression of the genes encoding the enzymes of the main AsA biosynthetic route and of the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, as well as the activities of the enzymes involved in AsA ...

Isolation of High Quality RNA from Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) Fruit

Molecular Biotechnology, 2001
A simple and efficient method is described for isolating high quality RNA from bilberry fruit. The procedure is based on the use of hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and beta-mercaptoethanol in an extraction buffer in order to eliminate the polysaccharides and prevent the oxidation of phenolic compounds.
