All forms of chicory are bitter and stimulate digestion, and, being members of the daisy family, come packing with immune system stimulating compounds. This is a winner! Plant File: Chinese Ginseng Scientific Name: Panax Ginseng If a person tells you Ginseng does not work, chances are they ...
Torreya grandis, a prominent tree species of the autochthonous subtropical region of China, possesses a drupe-like fruit containing a nut that is rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds. However, the effect of ... Qiandan Xie, Zhengchu Jiang, Chenliang Yu, Qi Wang, Wensheng Dai, Jiasheng ...
Epigenetic memory leading to increased resistance to fungal pathogens can be induced by priming agents, including chemical compounds: β-aminobutyric acid (BABA), xenobiotic chemicals: benzothiadiazole (BTH) or (R)-β-homoserine (RBH), hormones (SA, JA, MeJA), microbes:Bacillus,Pseudomonas, plant-...
The peels also contain proteins, dietary fibre, polyunsaturated fatty acids, calcium and vitamin A (Ewing-Chow 2022), as well as antioxidants such as carotenoids and polyphenolic compounds. Banana peels have also been used for ethanol production and as a primary material for pectin extraction (...
Some of these events may be relatively harmless, like in the case of “spiking” powders with free amino acids, but others can be dangerous, such as the addition of compounds like melamine — a toxic compound used to boost nitrogen that has led to fatalities in some cases13. These ...
(about 20% in primary cell walls of Arabidopsis but only 5–10% in grasses; Chen et al.2021a,b; Gigli-Bisceglia et al.2020; Wu et al.2020) suggesting that WAKs have a highly conserved role in connecting pectic compounds in plant cell walls to intracellular responses. In Brachypodium, ...
Wet and dry deposition of nitrogen compounds not only acidifies the soils but can also dramatically change nutrient cycles, as has happened over much of southern China, with a largely unknown impact on plant diversity (Zhu et al., 2015). Indeed, for tropical forests in particular, our ...
Lipids are a major class of important organic compounds in living organisms with various biological functions, including in membrane structural components, cell recognition, and energy storage [1]. Fatty acids (FAs) are the foundation of cellular lipid biosynthesis; they can serve as energy suppliers...
The compounds were eluted at a constant flow rate of 4 ml/min with a linear (10-45%) gradient of solvent B (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), 90% acetonitrile in water) in solvent A (0.1% TFA in water) for 20 minutes, followed by a linear gradient (45-95%) of solvent B in ...
Moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia) is an underutilized, protein-rich legume that is grown in arid and semi-arid areas of south Asia and is highly resistant to abiotic stresses such as heat and drought. Despite its economic importance, the crop remains unexpl
