Tomato-Soy Juice Reduces Inflammation and Modulates the Urinary Metabolome in Adults With Obesity. [PDF]
Mol Nutr Food ResCompared to pre‐intervention, consuming a tomato‐soy juice (54 mg lycopene, 189 mg soy isoflavones/d) reduced levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL‐5, IL‐12p70, and GM‐CSF, with TNF‐alpha trending downward), increased plasma lycopene and urinary soy isoflavone metabolites, and altered the urinary metabolome. ABSTRACT Chronic, low‐grade inflammation is a

Conserved defense responses between maize and sorghum to Exserohilum turcicum. [PDF]
, 2020 BACKGROUND:Exserohilum turcicum is an important pathogen of both sorghum and maize, causing sorghum leaf blight and northern corn leaf blight. Because the same pathogen can infect and cause major losses for two of the most important grain crops, it is an

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Crocus sativus stigmas are the main source of crocins, which are glucosylated apocarotenoids derived from zeaxanthin cleavage that give saffron its red color. Phytoene synthase (PSY) mediates the first committed step in carotenoid biosynthesis in plants.

Plant 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.

Combining systems and synthetic biology for in vivo enzymology
The EMBO JournalEnzymatic parameters are classically determined in vitro, under conditions that are far from those encountered in cells, casting doubt on their physiological relevance. We developed a generic approach combining tools from synthetic and systems biology to

Single-cell genomics based on Raman sorting reveals novel carotenoid-containing bacteria in the Red Sea [PDF]
, 2016 Cell sorting coupled with single-cell genomics is a powerful tool to circumvent cultivation of microorganisms and reveal microbial ‘dark matter’. Single-cell Raman spectra (SCRSs) are label-free biochemical ‘fingerprints’ of individual cells, which can ...

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

Single genetic locus improvement of iron, zinc and β-carotene content in rice grains
Scientific Reports, 2017 Nearly half of the world’s population obtains its daily calories from rice grains, which lack or have insufficient levels of essential micronutrients. The deficiency of micronutrients vital for normal growth is a global health problem, and iron, zinc and

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The development of dual‐target inhibitors represents a cost‐effective strategy for integrated pest management. Here, we report the first dual‐target inhibitors designed against the evolutionarily conserved domain of phytoene synthase (PSY), a key enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis.
