Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Phenolic Profiling of Olive (Olea europaea L. cv. Nocellara Messinese) Samples by Comprehensive 2D Liquid Chromatography

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Comprehensive RP‐LC×RP‐LC‐PDA‐MS/MS profiling reveals 52 phenolic compounds across olive drupes, leaves, pomace, and extra virgin olive oil, highlighting matrix‐specific distribution patterns. Oleuropein derivatives dominate drupes, while flavonoids are enriched in leaves.

Integrative physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analysis of Abelmoschus manihot in response to Cd toxicity

Frontiers in Plant Science
Rapid industrialization and urbanization have caused severe soil contamination with cadmium (Cd) necessitating effective remediation strategies. Phytoremediation is a widely adopted technology for remediating Cd-contaminated soil.

Elucidating the genetic basis of antioxidant status in lettuce (Lactuca sativa). [PDF]

, 2015
A diet rich in phytonutrients from fruit and vegetables has been acknowledged to afford protection against a range of human diseases, but many of the most popular vegetables are low in phytonutrients. Wild relatives of crops may contain allelic variation

Pharmacokinetic Evaluation of a Cinnamon Product on CYP2A6 Substrate Drugs: Application of a Novel Tool Involving the Nicotine Metabolite Ratio

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.) is used as a culinary spice and dietary supplement. A major constituent, cinnamaldehyde, was previously shown to inactivate cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 in vitro. A mechanistic static model predicted an ~5‐fold increase in the AUC of the CYP2A6 substrates nicotine and letrozole.

Silencing CHALCONE SYNTHASE in maize impedes the incorporation of tricin into lignin and increases lignin content [PDF]

, 2016
Lignin is a phenolic heteropolymer that is deposited in secondary-thickened cell walls, where it provides mechanical strength. A recent structural characterization of cell walls from monocot species showed that the flavone tricin is part of the native ...

Bioactive Phenylpropanoid Glycosides from Tabebuia avellanedae

Molecules, 2013
Three novel phenylpropanoid glycosides 2, 5, 6 were isolated from water extract of Tabebuia avellanedae, together with three known phenylpropanoid glycosides 1, 3, 4. All compounds were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods and, for known compounds, by comparison with published data.

Nanolignin Functional Separators for Flexible Lithium–Sulfur Batteries With Enhanced Performance

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Nanolignin‐functionalized separators, incorporating lignin nanoparticles into a crosslinked PEGDA coating applied on commercial separators, reduce polysulfide shuttling, thereby enhancing cycling performance in flexible lithium–sulfur pouch cells, while also improving thermo‐oxidative stability and flame retardancy.

Vanillin production from lignin depolymerization by acidic deep eutectic solvent and its possible mechanism

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract As one of the most abundant renewable resources and complex aromatic polymers, lignin holds great promise for producing monophenolic compounds. However, its depolymerization into valuable monomers is hindered by intricate side reactions. In this study, alkaline lignin was converted into vanillin using nine choline chloride‐based deep eutectic ...
