SCOPE: Tomato consumption is associated with many health benefits including lowered risk for developing certain cancers. It is hypothesized that tomato phytochemicals are transported to the liver and other tissues where they alter gene expression in ways that lead to favorable he...

Chemistry in eukaryotic intercellular spaces is shaped by both hosts and symbiotic microorganisms such as bacteria. Pathogenic microorganisms like barley associated Xanthomonas translucens (Xt) swiftly overtake the inner leaf tissue becoming the dominant microbial community member during disease ...

Black aspergilli exhibit remarkable bioconversion potential by transforming plant matrices into bioactive compounds, although their metabolic processes remain underexplored. This study investigated the biotransformation of metabolites during the solid-state cultivation of guabiju (Myrcianthes...
