Metabolomic Analysis Reveals Structural Diversity of Pectic Polysaccharides From Prunus persica (L.) Batsch and Their Relationship With Purees Characteristics

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To clarify how pectin heterogeneity relates to puree quality, this study investigated associations among pectin fractions, metabolite profiles, and physicochemical properties of peach purees from 20 cultivars with distinct viscosity, turbidity, and colour.

Effects of Meloidogyne incognita on agronomic parameters and structural changes in eggplant (Solanum gilo Raddi) roots treated with Purpureocillium lilacinum

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Meloidogyne incognita impairs eggplant growth through gall formation with changes in root cell wall components and vascular tissue disruption, while the biocontrol agent Purpureocillium lilacinum mitigates these effects by reducing nematode infection. Abstract Meloidogyne spp. induce structural changes during the development of root‐knot galls, leading

Upcycling Almond Byproducts: A Technoeconomic and Environmental Assessment of Almond Hull Hydrolysate

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
This study presents the first integrated technoeconomic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) of converting almond hulls—a sugar‐rich agricultural byproduct—into almond hull hydrolysate (AHH), a low‐cost and environmentally favorable fermentation growth medium.

Could the Extended Phenotype Extend to the Cellular and Subcellular Levels in Insect-Induced Galls?

PLoS ONE, 2015
Neo-ontogenesis of plant galls involves redifferentiation of host plant tissues to express new phenotypes, when new cell properties are established via structural-functional remodeling.

Probing the Anti-Cancer Potency of Sulfated Galactans on Cholangiocarcinoma Cells Using Synchrotron FTIR Microspectroscopy, Molecular Docking, and In Vitro Studies

Marine Drugs, 2021
Sulfated galactans (SG) isolated from red alga Gracilaria fisheri have been reported to inhibit the growth of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cells, which was similar to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted drug, cetuximab.

Bioactive Components and Functional Applications of Sea Buckthorn: A Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is a multifunctional food resource whose bioactive composition and functional potential depend strongly on plant part, extraction method, and processing matrix. Fruits and juices are rich in vitamin C, organic acids, carotenoids, phenolic acids, and flavonol glycosides; leaves provide abundant flavonoids ...
