CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing is a powerful technology that has been used for the genetic modification of number crop species. In order to evaluate efficacy CRISPR/Cas9 in root crop, sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), two starch biosynthetic pathway genes, IbGBSSI (encoding granule-bound synthase I), and IbSBEII branching enzyme II), were targeted starch-type cultivar Xushu22 carotenoid-rich Taizhong6. I. batatas was transformed using binary vector, which Cas9 gene driven by Arabidopsis AtUBQ promoter guide RNA controlled AtU6 promoter. A total 72 35 Taizhong6 transgenic lines generated analyzed mutations. The mutation efficiency 62-92% with multi-allelic mutations both cultivars. Most nucleotide substitutions lead amino acid changes and, less frequently, stop codons. addition, short insertions or deletions also found IbSBEII. Furthermore, 2658 bp deletion one line. contents not significantly changed IbGBSSI- IbSBEII-knockout compared wild-type control. However, allopolyploid potato, IbGBSSI-knockout reduced, while increased, amylose percentage. Our results demonstrate an effective tool improvement qualities breeding polyploid crops.

Metabolomics uses advanced analytical chemistry techniques to enable the high-throughput characterization of metabolites from cells, organs, tissues, or biofluids. The rapid growth in metabolomics is leading a renewed interest metabolism and role that small molecule play many biological processes. As result, traditional views as being simply “bricks mortar” cells just fuel for cellular energetics are upended. Indeed, appear have much more varied far important roles signaling molecules, immune modulators, endogenous toxins, environmental sensors. This review explores how yielding new insights into number physiological In particular, major focus on illustrating discoveries made through improving our understanding both normal physiology pathophysiology diseases. These influence organ function, nutrient sensing, gut physiology. Collectively, this work unified system-wide perspective biology wherein metabolites, proteins, genes understood interact synergistically modify actions functions organelles, organisms.

Mass spectrometry- and nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomic studies comparing diseased versus healthy individuals have shown that microbial metabolites are often the compounds most markedly altered in disease state. Recent suggest several of these derive from transformation dietary components significant effects on physiological processes such as gut immune homeostasis, energy metabolism, vascular function, neurological behavior. Here, we review intriguing diet-dependent may impact host physiology therefore be appropriate targets for therapeutic interventions, short-chain fatty acids, trimethylamine N-oxide, tryptophan tyrosine derivatives, oxidized acids. Such interventions will require modulating either bacterial species or biosynthetic enzymes required to produce metabolites, so briefly describe current understanding enzymatic pathways involved their biosynthesis summarize molecular mechanisms action. We then discuss more detail health disease, strategies modulate levels promote human health. also future needed realize full potential targeting microbiota.

Dysbiosis represents changes in composition and structure of the gut microbiome community (microbiome), which may dictate physiological phenotype (health or disease). Recent technological advances efforts metagenomic metabolomic analyses have led to a dramatical growth our understanding microbiome, but still, mechanisms underlying microbiome-host interactions healthy diseased state remain elusive their elucidation is infancy. Disruption normal microbiota lead intestinal dysbiosis, barrier dysfunction, bacterial translocation. Excessive uremic toxins are produced as result alteration, including indoxyl sulphate, p-cresyl trimethylamine-N-oxide, all implicated variant processes kidney diseases development.
