This study evaluated the impact of different cooking methods (air frying, grilling, oven baking, and microwave cooking) on the chemical profile of chickpea-based burgers. For this purpose, an untargeted metabolomics approach was employed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled ...
This study investigates the dual role of the Streptomyces-derived nucleoside Guvermectin (GV) in promoting plant growth and enhancing disease resistance. Multiomics analysis revealed that GV reprograms phenylalanine metabolism, leading to the accumulation of antimicrobial flavonoids. A key UDP-gl...
Leaf samples were obtained from Vitis vinifera ‘Malvasia Fina’ plants with well-characterized esca complex disease symptoms (n = 18) and from healthy uninfected plants (n = 6). Leaves from diseased plants were divided into three groups: asymptomatic (ASY), chlorotic (SY1), and scorched leaves (SY...
Apple bitter pit (ABP), a severe physiological disorder, severely impairs the quality and yield of the susceptible 'Qingcui' apple. This study investigated the control efficacy and mechanism of a three-in-one Organic Plant Protection Technology (OPPT) against ABP, with treatments set as control (...
