A cytochrome P450 gene, GmSUR2a, confers submergence tolerance and improves yield in soybean by modulating auxin homeostasis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The key cytochrome P450 gene GmSUR2a enables soybeans to withstand destructive submergence stress. By lowering the level of the plant hormone indole‐3‐acetic acid, this gene improves soybean survival and increases field yield. It offers an important tool for breeding stress‑resilient soybeans, securing food production against extreme weather conditions.

Diversity of glycosyl hydrolases from cellulose-depleting communities enriched from casts of two earthworm species [PDF]

, 2010
The guts and casts of earthworms contain microbial assemblages that process large amounts of organic polymeric substrates from plant litter and soil; however, the enzymatic potential of these microbial communities remains largely unexplored.

Hevamine, a chitinase from the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis, cleaves peptidoglycan between the C-1 of N-acetylglucosamine and C-4 of N-acetylmuramic acid and therefore is not a lysozyme

, 1997
Hevamine is a chitinase from the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis and belongs to the family 18 glycosyl hydrolases. In this paper the cleavage specificity of hevamine for peptidoglycan was studied by HPLC and mass-spectrometry analysis of enzymatic digests.

Genomic and Physiological Insights Into Heat–Drought Tolerance in Wheat Through GWAS and Phenotypic Evaluation

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change‐driven heat and drought stresses during reproductive stages significantly threaten wheat productivity. To investigate the genetic and physiological basis of combined heat–drought (HD) tolerance, we evaluated 345 wheat genotypes under three environments of HD stresses, non‐stress glasshouse conditions and a late‐sowing field ...

Stage‐Specific Metabolic and Proteomic Dynamics Underlying Ripening and Quality Formation in Tropical Evergreen Pomegranate

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Integrated multi‐omics reveals that pomegranate ripening between 90 and 130 days drives optimal sugar‐acid balance and pigmentation via coordinated regulation of phenylpropanoid, flavonoid, and carbohydrate metabolism pathways. ABSTRACT Pomegranate fruit development involves coordinated physiological, metabolic, and proteomic changes shaping coloration

Advancements in Mass Spectrometry‐Based Glycomics in Food and Nutritional Science

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 829-850, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT This review highlights advancements in mass spectrometry (MS)‐based glycomics in food and nutritional science. Carbohydrates, which are vital for human health, exhibit complex structures, making their analysis challenging. MS has become an indispensable tool for elucidating the structures of carbohydrates, including glycans, through soft ...
