Inoculation with homofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB) effectively enhances the silage quality of forages. Moreover, feeding such LAB-inoculated silage modulates rumen microbiota composition and metabolites, thereby improving ruminant production performance. Nevertheless, the specific mecha...
INTRODUCTION: The biochemical diversity of flavonoids is based on glycosylation, methylation, acylation, and many other modifications of the flavonoid backbone. Liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry demonstrated to be a powerful approach to gain new i...
Flavonoids are specialized metabolites that play important roles in plants, including interactions with the environment. The high structural diversity of this metabolite group is largely due to enzyme-mediated modifications of flavonoid core skeletons. In particular, glycosylation with different ...
Anthocyanins are economically valuable phytochemicals of significant relevance to human health. Industrially extracted from multiple fruit and vegetable sources, anthocyanin yield and profiles can vary between sources and growing conditions. In this study, we focused on three purple-fleshed and o...
This study aimed to clarify flavonoids accumulation characteristics and their contribution to antioxidant capacity in wild type (WT) kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) and three cultivated varieties (Xuxiang, XX; Yazui, YZ; Hongyang, HY). Integrating untargeted metabolomics and traditional biochemic...
Houttuynia cordata is a medicinal plant with diverse pharmacological activities, but the relationship between its flavonoid components and gene expression across different plant parts remains poorly understood. This study aims to explore these relationships using metabolomics and transcriptomics ...
Cryptomeria fortunei growth and development are usually affected by low temperatures. Despite the evergreen nature of this species, most needles turn yellowish-brown in cold winters. The underlying discoloration mechanisms that cause this phenomenon in response to cold acclimation remain...
