Cuticular Waxes in Altered Environments and Their Role in Leaf Water Loss Dynamics
ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes undeniably form the primary barrier restricting uncontrolled water loss from leaves, yet the functional consequences of environmentally induced wax modifications for residual (cuticular) transpiration remain a matter of debate. This review summarises current knowledge on how major abiotic stimuli influence foliar cuticular wax ...

ABSTRACT Olive tree leaves are phytochemically rich yet insufficiently valorised in terms of systematic cultivar‐based characterisation and exploitation, and are an abundant olive industry side‐product. This study represents the first large‐scale metabolome mapping based on 340 leaf extracts from five major Greek cultivars (Amfissis, Koroneiki, Manaki,

Abstract BACKGROUND The present study aimed to valorize broccoli by‐products (leaves and stems) through the extraction of bioactive compounds using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). The influence of broccoli variety, plant part and maturation stage on total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity and antimicrobial properties was evaluated ...

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

This study establishes that fruit color divergence in Yanjiao pepper cultivars arises from hierarchical regulation of carotenoid metabolism, driven by yellow‐blue chromaticity variation and cultivar‐specific metabolic strategies. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for breeding peppers with enhanced color stability and nutraceutical value ...

Optimization of methods for determining major triterpenoid compounds in Centella asiatica (L.) Urban
[Objective] In order to provide a basis for quality control of Centella asiatica (L.) Urban, a high-performance liquid chromatography method was established using cyclodextrin as a mobile phase additive for the determination of asiaticoside ...

ABSTRACT Geochemical data compiled from dried sediments from three water reservoirs at the ancient Maya city of Ucanal, Petén, Guatemala, reveal low to undetectable fecal biomarker concentrations. These low concentrations may be the result of the aerobic decay of sterols combined with well‐managed waste disposal practices.

Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as Model Organisms in Biofactor Research
This review presents Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as powerful and ethically sound invertebrate model organisms that can be used to investigate nutritional science questions relating to biofactors. Such nutritional phenotyping studies can bridge the gap between in vitro studies and in vivo research in mammals.

ABSTRACT The development of antifungal resistance is a complex process that involves the interaction between hosts, drugs, and microbial factors, all of which contribute to therapeutic ineffectiveness. For this reason, studies on natural products as possible therapeutic alternatives are increasingly necessary in order to gain a better understanding of ...
