Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture technologies, which more closely mimic the complex microenvironment of tissue, are being increasingly evaluated as a tool for the preclinical screening of clinically promising new molecules, and studying of tissue metabolism. Studies of metabolites released int...
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...
AIM: Low-molecular-weight organic substances (LMWOSs) are at the nexus between micro-organisms, plant roots, detritus and the soil mineral matrix. The nominal oxidation state of carbon (NOSC) has been suggested as a potential parameter for modelling microbial uptake rates of LMWO...
Ralstonia solanacearum, one of the most destructive crop pathogens worldwide, causes bacterial wilt disease in a wide range of host plants. The major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), has been shown to function as elicitors of plant defense lead...
INTRODUCTION: Metabolomics is an important tool to support postharvest fruit development and ripening studies. Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) is a tropical fruit with high market value but has short shelf-life during postharvest handling. Several postharvest technol...
