Extracellular ATP: an emerging multifaceted regulator of plant fitness

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 1771-1782, May 2025.
Summary Adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of living organisms and the primary form of organic phosphate (Po) involved in cellular metabolism. In plants, some ATP is released into the extracellular matrix (ECM) in response to various stimuli, where it functions as extracellular ATP (eATP), a key signalling molecule.

High yield production of the antifungal proteins PeAfpA and PdAfpB by vacuole targeting in a TMV‐based expression vector

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Antifungal proteins (AFPs) derived from filamentous fungi show great potential against economically significant fungi that cause plant diseases and consequently threat food safety and security. This study focuses on the Penicillium expansum PeAfpA and Penicillium digitatum PdAfpB proteins and their activity against several phytopathogens.

Application of Carbon Quantum Dots in Food Business: A Comprehensive Review

eFood, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2025.
This approach is straightforward and practical in comparison to previous approaches because it speeds up the synthesis of CQDs while maintaining a high quantum yield. By heating the poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG‐200) for 2–10 min. However, there are several downsides of this technique, such as the nonuniform particle sizes of carbon quantum dots that ...
