The Role of Oxidative Stress in Periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Oxidative stress is involved in multiple chemical reactions that take place in different intracellular organelles: mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, autophagy, and aging, and can be influenced by exogenous factors: nutrition, physical activity, psychological status, environmental conditions, microbiome, and drugs.

A Chemical Probe for Increasing Leaf Tocopherol Levels by Coordinated Modulation of Biosynthesis, Competition and Storage

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant biofortification with phytonutrients typically relies on metabolic engineering strategies known as ‘push’ (enhancing biosynthetic flux), ‘block’ (inhibiting competing pathways) and ‘pull’ (promoting metabolite storage). Here, we describe a novel synthetic compound, X57, that simultaneously targets biosynthesis, competition and storage to

Two Indel Variations in the Regulated Carotenoid Pigment Gene Hold the Key to the Interspecies Flower Colour Differentiation in Liriodendron Plants

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flower colour variation is pivotal for plant evolution, ecological adaptation, and pollinator attraction. In the Liriodendron genus, L. tulipifera features a distinct orange petal stripe which is absent in L. chinense, driven by differential carotenoid accumulation, yet the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear.

Revealing the Power of the Natural Red Pigment Lycopene

open access: yesMolecules, 2010
By-products derived from food processing are attractive source for their valuable bioactive components and color pigments. These by-products are useful for development as functional foods, nutraceuticals, food ingredients, additives, and also as cosmetic

Pro‐Vitamin A Biofortified Cavendish Banana: Trait Stability in the Field

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin A deficiency (VAD), a major global health concern, has driven efforts to develop staple crops with enhanced pro‐vitamin A (pVA) content. Delivering meaningful nutritional benefits, however, requires technologies that maintain elevated carotenoid levels under field conditions. Previous proof‐of‐concept work demonstrated that pVA content

Sustainable Fabrication of Reddish Silk Fabric with Enhanced Color Intensity and Fastness Using Lycopene

open access: yesTextiles
A significant development has been the integration of natural elements with bio-based materials to produce entirely bio-based functional textiles. In this investigation, lycopene, derived from tomatoes, is used as a new natural red dye for silk.

Chromosome‐Scale Haplotype Genome Assemblies for the Australian Mango ‘Kensington Pride’ and a Wild Relative, Mangifera laurina, Provide Insights Into Anthracnose‐Resistance and Volatile Compound Biosynthesis Genes

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mango (Mangifera indica) is one of the most popular fruits cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The availability of reference genomes helps to identify the genetic basis of important traits. Here, we report assembled high‐quality chromosome‐level genomes for the Australian mango cultivar ‘Kensington Pride’ and M ...
