Exposure dose, light distribution and wavelength affect the fate of introduced bacterial biological control agents in the phyllosphere of greenhouse grown tomato

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 789-800, May 2025.
The use of chemical plant protection products must be reduced to promote sustainability in food production. One possible alternative is biological control agents (BCAs), but their efficacy under commercial conditions does not always reach the standard of chemical control agents.

An overview of the nutritional quality and health benefits linked to the world diversity of citrus fruits/juices

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Citrus juices represent a nutrient‐dense beverage due to the remarkable balance in their bioactive compounds (vitamins, minerals, dietary fibers, and phytochemicals such as flavonoids and carotenoids). This review aims to examine the nutritional quality and the health benefits of citrus juice consumption linked to the world diversity of citrus

Genetic Underpinnings of Carotenogenesis and Light-Induced Transcriptome Remodeling in the Opportunistic Pathogen Mycobacterium kansasii

Pathogens, 2023
Mycobacterium kansasii (Mk) causes opportunistic pulmonary infections with tuberculosis-like features. The bacterium is well known for its photochromogenicity, i.e., the production of carotenoid pigments in response to light.

Efficient Fermentation Production of Astaxanthin in Chromochloris zofingiensis via a Novel Inducer‐Free pH‐Stress‐Induced High‐Cell‐Density Cultivation Strategy

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The unicellular green alga Chromochloris zofingiensis has emerged as a promising candidate for large‐scale astaxanthin production, owing to its exceptional capacity for ultrahigh‐cell‐density growth under heterotrophic conditions. However, the commercial viability of C. zofingiensis is constrained by its inherently low intracellular astaxanthin content.

Genomic‐wide analysis reveals seven in absentia genes regulating grain development in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

The Plant Genome, Volume 17, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract Seven in absentia proteins, which contain a conserved SINA domain, are involved in regulating various aspects of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and development, especially in response to environmental stresses. However, it is unclear whether TaSINA family members are involved in regulating grain development until now.

Biochemical profile of Dunaliella isolates from different regions of Iran with a focus on pharmaceutical and nutraceutical potential applications

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 7, Page 4914-4926, July 2024.
The research aimed to investigate the natural chemical and bioactive compounds present in three microalgae types, namely Dunaliella salina, Dunaliella viridis, and Dunaliella sp., isolated from and native to three regions in Iran. The study revealed that the biomass of these microalgae contained abundant quantities of protein, dietary fiber, bioactive ...
