Natural Variation of COLD and CATECHINS REGULATOR 1 Coordinately Fine‐Tunes Cold Tolerance and Tea Quality in Tea Plants

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Multi‐trait genome‐wide association mapping identifies a central hub regulator, COLD AND CATECHINS REGULATOR 1 (CCR1), and its excellent natural allele variation, coordinately enhancing cold tolerance and promoting catechins biosyntheis. CsCCR1 interacts with CsCBF1/3 and is transcriptionally activated by CsLUX and CsKUA1 to promote catechins ...

Guideline for High‐Performance Liquid Chromatography Detection of Anthocyanins

open access: yesAgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anthocyanins, as water‐soluble natural pigments widely present in plants, have various biological activities such as antioxidation and anti‐inflammatory, and are widely used in the fields of food, cosmetics, and medicine. However, because of the presence of unstable phenolic hydroxyl groups in their structure, they are prone to degradation due

Effect of Lactulose on the Intestinal Flora of Elderly Constipation Patients With Chronic Renal Insufficiency

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
This study investigates the regulatory effects of lactulose and polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the composition of gut microbiota in elderly constipation patients with chronic renal insufficiency by comparing the changes in microbial abundance. Both lactulose and PEG significantly modulate the gut microbiota structure, though their specific mechanisms and

Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.
