The anthocyanins (ACN) are water-soluble pigments present in the pericarp or aleurone layer of maize kernel. authentic color landraces being grown by farmers at a smaller scale restricted to local consumers. These ears (cob with kernels) which receiving more prominence not only for their environment friendly and natural colorant properties but also numerous health benefits from edible food pigments. Since anthocyanin have significant effects on animal health, it is catching attention processing companies as well high-end culinary markets. In this review, we represented functional maize. Earlier, studies best vitro tests were extrapolatory now using cell models trials providing foolproof evidence significance corn anthocyanins. mechanisms action cellular molecular level been understood.

Modulated Light Elicitation and Associated Physiological and Molecular Processes in Phenolic Compounds Production in Ocimum basilicum L. Microgreens

Horticulturae, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 11(1), С. 56 - 56

Опубликована: Янв. 8, 2025

Microgreens represent a valuable source of health-promoting compounds and also research avenue, since such organisms have very high plasticity related to environmental cues, allowing biotechnological development with low costs. Ocimum basilicum L. species naturally synthesize valuable, phenolic compounds, among which rosmarinic acid is most prominent. Within the current research, basil plantlets were grown for 10 days under either full spectrum light (white light) or modulated blue/red/far-red/UV elicitation an additional factorization, by applying fertilization. Biomass accumulation reached up 0.8 g/20 plantlets, while chlorophyll fluorescence was in 0.75–0.78 range remained uniform across treatments, indicating that no significant stress exerted modified treatment. However, total contents and, particular, contents, markedly enhanced (up 7.5 mg/g red cultivar) treatment fertilization, compared light. Moreover, cultivar, gene expression enhanced, 1.3–6.3 fold genes coding enzymes involved phenylpropanoid synthesis pathways, as phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT), Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) synthetase (RAS). Overall, modulation coupled fertilization led production microgreens 10% more phenolics 25% acid. The results show that, using relatively simple growth equipment setup, health related, can be hence, serves avenue businesses develop cost effective processes.

Integrative transcriptome and metabolome analysis reveals the mechanisms of light-induced pigmentation in purple waxy maize

Frontiers in Plant Science, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14

Waxy maize, mainly consumed at the immature stage, is a staple and vegetable food in Asia. The pigmentation kernel of purple waxy maize enhances its nutritional market values. Light, critical environmental factor, affects anthocyanin biosynthesis results different parts plants, including kernel. SWL502 light-sensitive inbred line with color, but regulatory mechanism resulting color still unknown.In this study, cyanidin, peonidin, pelargonidin were identified as main components SWL502, evaluated by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method. Investigation pigment accumulation was performed 12, 17, 22 days after pollination (DAP) under both dark light treatment conditions via transcriptome metabolome analyses.Dark affected genes metabolites associated metabolic pathways amino acid, carbohydrate, lipid, galactose, phenylpropanoid terpenoid backbone, ABC transporters. expression genes, such 4CL2, CHS, F3H, UGT, reduced treatment. Dynamic changes time-series analysis. involved photosynthesis purine metabolism altered treatment, carotenoid biosynthesis, sphingolipid metabolism, MAPK signaling pathway, plant hormone signal transduction pathway induced Light increased level major transcription factors LRL1, myc7, bHLH125, PIF1, BH093, PIL5, MYBS1, BH074 kernels, while greatly promoted RVE6, MYB4, MY1R1, MYB145.This study first report to investigate effects on underlying levels, from are valuable for future research better understand regulation growth.

A plant factory with artificial lighting (PFAL) usually uses top for cultivation. The light from the upper part of canopy cannot penetrate entire lettuce canopy, however, resulting in uneven vertical spatial and accelerating senescence both bottom side leaves canopy. Therefore, this study, performance hydroponics was investigated upon supplemental different spectral LEDs a PFAL. set short-term treatments, including no lamps (CK), red (R), blue (B), + (RB), green (RGB) LED (150 μmol·m-2·s-1, respectively), employed an additional 2 h per day after normal 6 days before harvest. results showed that relatively loose had large crown size under compared CK. Side lighting, irrespective qualities, significantly increased fresh weight, R, B, RB, RGB treatments shoot weight plants by 34%, 19%, 31%, leaf layer 50%, 17%, 44%, 48%, respectively. qualities significant impact on nutritional quality first row at edge illuminated area. Treatment B promoted chlorophyll content 3; soluble sugar contents 1, 2, starch layers phenolics reduced nitrate 3. 91%, as well flavonoid 3, while R opposite effect completely. RB 3 but overall lower than RGB. In summary, any type could effectively improve yield, solve problem inconsistent caused affect lettuce. performed best. There response diversity to qualities.

Bridging the Gap: From Photoperception to the Transcription Control of Genes Related to the Production of Phenolic Compounds

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 25(13), С. 7066 - 7066

Опубликована: Июнь 27, 2024

Phenolic compounds are a group of secondary metabolites responsible for several processes in plants-these involved plant-environment interactions (attraction pollinators, repelling herbivores, or chemotaxis microbiota soil), but also have antioxidative properties and capable binding heavy metals screening ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, the accumulation these has to be precisely driven, which is ensured on levels, most important aspect seems control gene expression. Such transcriptional requires presence activity transcription factors (TFs) that driven based current requirements plant. Two environmental mainly affect phenolic compounds-light temperature. Because it known light perception occurs via specialized sensors (photoreceptors) we decided combine biophysical knowledge about plants with molecular biology-based specific genes bridge gap between them. Our review offers insights into regulation related compound production, strengthens understanding plant responses cues, opens avenues manipulation total content profile potential applications horticulture food production.

Accumulation and metabolic profile of phenolic compounds (PheCs; serving as UV-screening pigments antioxidants) well carbon fixation rate (An) plant growth are sensitive to irradiance temperature. Since these factors naturally co-acting in the environment, it is worthy study combined effects environmental assess their possible physiological consequences. We investigated how low high combination with different temperatures modify PheCs expression genes involved antioxidative enzyme biosynthesis, relation photosynthetic activity availability non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) spring barley seedlings. High positively affected An, NSC, content, antioxidant (AOX). temperature led decreased increased dark respiration, whilst was accompanied by reduction UV-A shielding but increase content AOX. Besides that, caused changes PheCs, particularly alteration homoorientin/isovitexin derivatives ratio, possibly related demands on AOX-based protection. Moreover, we also observed ratio sinapoyl-/feruloyl- acylated flavonoids, function which not yet known. The data strongly suggested that NSC may support production.
