Antioxidative Responses to Pre-Storage Hot Water Treatment of Red Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Fruit during Cold Storage

Foods, 2021
The effects of hot water treatments on antioxidant responses in red sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) fruit during cold storage were investigated. Red sweet pepper fruits were treated with hot water at 55 °C for 1 (HWT-1 min), 3 (HWT-3 min), and 5 min ...

PbrIDD2‐PbrAPX14 Module Functions in the Ethylene‐Mediated Ripening and Senescence Process of Pear Fruit

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endogenous H2O2 participated in the ethylene‐dependent ripening and senescence process of horticultural fruit as a secondary messenger; however, the molecular mechanism beneath such a phenomenon has not been fully clarified until recently. By a conjoint analysis of metabolite, enzyme activities, gene expression profiles in AsA‐GSH cycle of ...

Effects of lanthanum on the ascorbate and glutathione metabolism of Vigna radiata seedlings under salt stress

Biologia Plantarum, 2014
In order to elucidate the role of lanthanum (La) in response of Vigna radiata to a salt stress, we investigated the effects of La on the ascorbate and glutathione metabolism.

Molecular Chaperone Networks in Plants: Maintaining Proteostasis and Enhancing Stress Resilience for Crop Improvement

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

Molecular Characterization of Monodehydroascorbate Radical Reductase from Cucumber Highly Expressed in Escherichia coli [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
Monodehydroascorbate radical (MDA) reductase, an FAD-enzyme, is the first enzyme to be identified whose substrate is an organic radical and catalyzes the reduction of MDA to ascorbate by NAD(P)H. Its cDNA has been cloned from cucumber seedlings (Sano, S., and Asada, K. (1994) Plant Cell Physiol.

Integrated Multi‐Omic Analyses Uncover a Regulatory Link Between Photosynthesis and Drought Tolerance in Field‐Grown Sorghum

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global warming and increasing water scarcity pose major challenges to agriculture, emphasising the need to translate stress‐biology insights into the development of drought‐resilient cultivars. In this study, we evaluated a panel of six diverse sorghum (Sorghum bicolour) accessions grown under field‐imposed drought conditions in central ...

Hydrogen-rich water treatment improves fresh-cut Gastrodia elata quality by regulating reactive oxygen species metabolism and energy metabolism during low temperature storage

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
The application of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) can extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. This study aims to investigate the effects of HRW on the quality of fresh-cut Gastrodia elata during low-temperature (4°C) storage. The results indicate that

Enhancing Tolerance to Combined Heat and Drought Stress in Cool‐Season Grain Legumes: Mechanisms, Genetic Insights, and Future Directions

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3848-3870, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency of concurrent heat and drought stress poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity, particularly for cool‐season grain legumes, including broad bean (Vicia Faba L.), lupin (Lupinus spp.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.), pea (Pisum sativum L ...

Monodehydroascorbate reductase from cucumber is a flavin adenine dinucleotide enzyme.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1985
Monodehydroascorbate reductase (EC 1.6.5.4) was purified from cucumber fruit to a homogeneous state as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The cucumber monodehydroascorbate reductase was a monomer with a molecular weight of 47,000. It contained 1 mol of FAD/mol of enzyme which was reduced by NAD(P)H and reoxidized by monodehydroascorbate. The

Effect of ochratoxin A and buthionine sulfoximine on proteome and ascorbate-glutathione cycle enzymes in Arabidopsis thaliana

Biologia Plantarum, 2015
In this study, proteome and activities of glutathione (GSH)-related enzymes were investigated in detached leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana treated with ochratoxin A (OTA) alone or supplemented with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO, a specific inhibitor of the ...
