Analysis of pectolytic enzymes and Alternaria spp. in fresh dill, mustard seeds, onions, and vinegar, and their influence on the softening of pickled cucumbers

Journal of Food Science, Volume 87, Issue 2, Page 808-818, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Proteolytic enzymes or fungi have long been identified as causing softening of pickled cucumbers. As the softening of cucumbers occurs mainly in the pasteurized state, this study considers the hypothesis that vinegar and the added spices could be responsible for this softening by studying polygalacturonase (endo‐/exo‐PG), pectinesterase (PE ...

Tree species richness differentially affects the chemical composition of leaves, roots and root exudates in four subtropical tree species

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 97-116, January 2022., 2022
In the BEF‐China experiment, metabolomics samples were collected from four different species and three organs (a). The metabolomes are species and organ specific (b), and the metabolome specificity is attributed to different chemical classes (c). Tree species diversity affects the metabolome composition (d), but more controlled interaction experiments ...

Nodulating white lupins take advantage of the reciprocal interplay between N and P nutritional responses

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 174, Issue 1, January/February 2022., 2022
Abstract The low bioavailability of nutrients, especially nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), is one of the most limiting factors for crop production. In this study, under N‐ and P‐free nutrient solution (−N−P), nodulating white lupin plants developed some nodules and analogous cluster root structures characterized by different morphological ...

Human myocardial mitochondrial oxidative capacity is impaired in mild acute heart transplant rejection

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 4674-4684, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Aims Acute cellular rejection (ACR) following heart transplantation (HTX) is associated with long‐term graft loss and increased mortality. Disturbed mitochondrial bioenergetics have been identified as pathophysiological drivers in heart failure, but their role in ACR remains unclear.

Characterization of an Endemic Plant Origanum grosii from Morocco: Trace Element Concentration and Antihyperglycemic Activities

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Origanum genus is one of the most widely used herbs in folk medicine for its biological properties. The present investigation aims to characterize, for the first time, endemic Origanum grosii collected from the Taounate region, Morocco. This characterization was realized by determining the concentration of metals in different parts of the plant ...

Mcl‐1 targeting strategies unlock the proapoptotic potential of TRAIL in melanoma cells

Molecular Carcinogenesis, Volume 59, Issue 11, Page 1256-1268, November 2020., 2020
Abstract TNF‐related apoptosis‐inducing ligand (TRAIL) induces apoptosis selectively in cancer cells. For melanoma, the targeting of TRAIL signaling appears highly attractive, due to pronounced TRAIL receptor expression in tumor tissue. However, mechanisms of TRAIL resistance observed in melanoma cells may limit its clinical use.

Risk assessment of glycoalkaloids in feed and food, in particular in potatoes and potato‐derived products

EFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2020., 2020
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific opinion on the risks for animal and human health related to the presence of glycoalkaloids (GAs) in feed and food. This risk assessment covers edible parts of potato plants and other food plants containing GAs, in particular, tomato and aubergine. In humans, acute toxic effects of potato GAs (
