Integrated Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Revealed the Capsanthin Biosynthesis and Sequestration in Processing Type Red Pepper (Capsicum annuum var. conoides)

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study establishes that fruit color divergence in Yanjiao pepper cultivars arises from hierarchical regulation of carotenoid metabolism, driven by yellow‐blue chromaticity variation and cultivar‐specific metabolic strategies. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for breeding peppers with enhanced color stability and nutraceutical value ...

Beneath the Bark: Molecular Determinants of Adaptation and Infection in Bacterial Pathogens of Woody Hosts

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...

Strain‐Specific Biotransformation of Grape Marc by Lactic Acid Bacteria: Genomic Validation and Gut Microbiota Modulation

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Grape marc (GM) is a polyphenol‐rich winery byproduct that remains underutilized due to its complex fiber matrix, which limits the bioaccessibility of bound phenolics. While lactic acid fermentation (LAF) can enhance the release of these compounds, the strain‐specific metabolic fate of GM phenolics during digestion and colonic fermentation ...

PLP Homeostasis Protein Is Required for Efficient Maturation of Aromatic Amino Acid Aminotransferase in Salmonella enterica

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 1, Page 1-14, July 2026.
Cellular pool of aromatic amino acid aminotransferase proteins represented as holo‐ or apo‐ enzymes, reflecting presence or absence of associated PLP. Status of PLPHP is implicated in determining the ratio of holo‐ and apo‐TyrB. ABSTRACT Pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate (PLP) is an essential cofactor required for metabolic functions including amino acid ...

Transcriptomic and free monoterpene analyses of aroma reveal that isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase inhibits monoterpene biosynthesis in grape (Vitis vinifera L.)

BMC Plant Biology
Background Monoterpenes are among the most important volatile aromatic compounds contributing to the flavor and aroma of grapes and wine. However, the molecular basis of monoterpene biosynthesis has not yet been fully elucidated.
