Taxonomic and functional shifts in the microbiome of severely obese, prediabetic patients: Ketogenic diet versus energy‐matched standard diet

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are among the leading global health challenges of the 21st century. While caloric restriction remains the cornerstone of weight loss interventions, ketogenic diets (KD), characterised by low carbohydrate and high fat intake, have been shown to improve metabolic health partly by modulating the ...

Glucuronoyl Esterase of Pathogenic Phanerochaete carnosa Induces Immune Responses in Aspen Independently of Its Enzymatic Activity

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbial enzymes expressed in plants add new functionalities but occasionally trigger undesirable immune responses. Phanerochaete carnosa glucuronoyl esterase (PcGCE) hydrolyses the bond between lignin and 4‐O‐methyl‐α‐D‐glucuronic acid substituent of glucuronoxylan.

OsSTK‐Mediated Sakuranetin Biosynthesis and Carbon Flux Orchestrate Growth and Defence in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants balance resource energy allocation between growth and immunity to ensure survival and reproduction under limited availability. This study reveals that rice cultivars with elevated sucrose levels boost resistance to the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae by accumulating the phytoalexin sakuranetin, regulated by the transcription factor ...

Metabolomic and Single‐Cell Transcriptomic Analyses Shed Light on Secondary Metabolite Profiling and Potential Developmental Dynamics of Glandular Trichomes in Artemisia argyi

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant glandular trichomes (GTs) are characterised by their ability to synthesise and store abundant secondary metabolites of significant biological importance. The medicinal plant Artemisia argyi exhibits a dense covering of GTs, yet the precise metabolic compositions and the developmental molecular dynamics of A.

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.

Metabolomic Effects of CeO₂, SiO₂ and CuO Metal Oxide Nanomaterials on HepG2 Cells [PDF]

, 2017
Background: To better assess potential hepatotoxicity of nanomaterials, human liver HepG2 cells were exposed for 3 days to five different CeO2 (either 30 or 100 μg/ml), 3 SiO2 based (30 μg/ml) or 1 CuO (3 μg/ml) nanomaterials with dry primary particle ...

TaRIP2 Positively Regulates Wheat Pollen Wall Formation Through MYB80‐Controlled Lipid Metabolism

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male‐sterile genes and mutants are critical for hybrid seed production in monocotyledonous crops. Lipids are essential structural components of male reproductive organs, such as the anther and pollen. Here, we show that the pollen‐preferential gene TaRIP2 is essential for wheat anther development and pollen formation. RT‐qPCR analysis revealed
