Ionic titanium is expected to improve the nutritional quality of Tartary buckwheat sprouts through flavonoids and amino acid metabolism. Food Chem 2024; 461:140907. [PMID: 39173266 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
Tartary buckwheat sprouts are highly valued by consumers for their superior nutritional content. Ionic titanium (Ti) has been shown to enhance crop growth and improve nutritional quality. However, there is limited research on the impact of ionic Ti on the nutritional quality of Tartary buckwheat sprouts. This study cultivated Tartary buckwheat sprouts with ionic Ti and found that the high concentration of ionic Ti significantly increased the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids (increased by 25.5%, 27.57%, and 15.11%, respectively). The lower concentration of ionic Ti has a higher accumulation of total flavonoids and total polyphenols. Metabolomics analysis by LC-MS revealed 589 differentially expressed metabolites and 54 significantly different metabolites, enriching 82 metabolic pathways, especially including amino acid biosynthesis and flavonoid biosynthesis. This study shows that ionic Ti can promote the growth of Tartary buckwheat sprouts, improve nutritional quality, and have huge development potential in food production.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:2313. [PMID: 39204749 PMCID: PMC11359454 DOI: 10.3390/plants13162313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2024] [Revised: 08/17/2024] [Accepted: 08/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Considering the current global climate and demographic conditions, combined with the growing demand for food diversification, the need for innovative functional foods that adhere to the principles of the circular economy is becoming clear. Therefore, this research aims to identify an appropriate cultivation system and growth substrate to maintain a high germination rate and produce basil aromatic microplants with superior quality traits that are entirely edible, together with the substrate. Microplants were grown in both aseptic (AS) and non-aseptic (NAS) systems. Both AS and NAS experiments were conducted in vitro using eco-innovative production technology. Moreover, various growth substrates were tested, such as perlite, agar, banana peel, peat, and their combinations. The analyses focused on the germination capacity, morphometric measurements, and biochemical analyses of the microplants. The results showed that the edible agar-based substrate, used in both AS and NAS, increased the germination capacity up to 95.00 ± 0.30%, while peat provided a germination capacity of only 12.07 ± 1.27% under AS conditions and 6.07 ± 0.35% under NAS conditions. Most biochemical analyses indicated that AS conditions are more suitable for basil microplant production, increasing the dry matter content, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and total antioxidant capacity compared to NAS conditions. These findings support the adoption of a new eco-innovative technology that provides organic basil microplants, which are fully usable along with the edible agar substrate.

Morphological, Physiological, and Photosynthetic Differences of Tartary Buckwheat Induced by Post-Anthesis Drought. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:2161.

Abstract
Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum (L.) Gaertn) is a crop of significant interest due to its nutritional value and resilience to drought conditions. However, drought, particularly following flowering, is a major factor contributing to yield reduction. This research employed two distinct Tartary buckwheat genotypes to investigate the effects of post-anthesis drought on growth and physicochemical characteristics. The study aimed to elucidate the response of Tartary buckwheat to drought stress. The findings indicated that post-anthesis drought adversely impacted the growth, morphology, and biomass accumulation of Tartary buckwheat. Drought stress enhanced the maximum photosynthetic capacity (Fv/Fm) and light protection ability (NPQ) of the 'Xiqiao-2' genotype. In response to drought stress, 'Dingku-1' and 'Xiqiao-2' maintained osmotic balance by accumulating soluble sugars and proline, respectively. Notably, 'Xiqiao-2' exhibited elevated levels of flavonoids and polyphenols in its leaves, which helped mitigate oxidative damage caused by drought. Furthermore, rewatering after a brief drought period significantly improved plant height, stem diameter, and biomass accumulation in 'Dingku-1'. Overall, 'Xiqiao-2' demonstrated greater long-term tolerance to post-anthesis drought, while 'Dingku-1' was less adversely affected by short-term post-anthesis drought.

Abstract
Rhinacanthus nasutus (L.) Kurz is used in Thai traditional medicine for the treatment of skin diseases, ringworm, and eczema. This research studied the effects of cytokinin and auxins on callus induction and evaluated antioxidant activity of R. nasutus. Nodes, young, and mature leaf explants were cultured on MS medium containing 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mg/l kinetin (6-furfurylaminopurine) and 0, 1 mg/l 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) for 6 weeks to induce callus. Calli derived from nodes, young and mature leaves, and other plant parts were ultrasonically extracted with methanol to determine total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant activity by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhtdrazyl (DPPH), and 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays. Nodal explants on MS medium containing 1 mg/l kinetin combined with 1 mg/l 2,4-D were most efficient in callus production with the average fresh and dry weight per explant of 2.29 ± 0.14 and 0.18 ± 0.01 g, respectively. Addition of kinetin combined with NAA or 2,4-D had a positive effect on callus induction from young and mature leaf explants. The leaf extract showed the highest TPC, TFC, FRAP, and IC50 of DPPH and ABTS assays (ca 113 mg GAE/g extract, 45 mg QE/g extract, 121 mg TE/g extract, 53 µg/ml and 14 µg/ml, respectively), followed by callus derived from nodes. Overall, phenolic content was higher than flavonoid content. A strong positive correlation was found between FRAP assay, TPC (r = 0.973), and TFC (r = 0.798), indicating that phenolic and flavonoid compounds are responsible for antioxidant activity of R. nasutus.

Inhibitory Effects of Polyphenol- and Flavonoid-Enriched Rice Seed Extract on Melanogenesis in Melan-a Cells via MAPK Signaling-Mediated MITF Downregulation. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11841.

Abstract
Melanin production is an important process that prevents the host skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation; however, an overproduction of melanin results in skin diseases. In the present study, we determined the antioxidative and anti-melanogenic activities of polyphenol- and flavonoid-enriched rice seed extracts in melan-a cells. The polyphenol and flavonoid content of Hopum (HP) and Sebok (SB) rice seed extracts was measured. The antioxidant capacity was determined using the ABTS radical scavenging method. SB contained high amounts of polyphenols and flavonoids, which significantly increased antioxidative activity compared with HP. Various concentrations of these extracts were evaluated in a cytotoxicity using melan-a cells. At 100 µg/mL, there was no significant difference for all treatments compared with untreated cells. Therefore, 100 µg/mL was selected as a concentration for the further experiments. SB significantly suppressed the phosphorylation/activation of p-38 MAPK, increased the expression of phosphorylated ERK 1/2 and Akt, and downregulated the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). This resulted in decreased levels of tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 and -2. These results indicate the potential of polyphenol- and flavonoid-enriched rice seed as a treatment for hyperpigmentation.

In Situ Inactivation of Selected Bacillus Strains in Brewer's Spent Grain during Fermentation by Lactococcus lactis ATCC 11454-The Possibility of Post-Production Residues Management. Foods 2023; 12:2279. [PMID: 37372490 DOI: 10.3390/foods12122279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The safety and quality of post-production residues is essential before they can be reused. Both to explore the possibility of reuse as a fermentation medium and the context of pathogens' inactivation, the research aimed to characterize the fermentation system of L. lactis ATCC 11454 and brewer's spent grain, malt and barley, especially to in situ inactivation of selected Bacillus strains during the fermentation and storage. Barley products were milled, autoclaved, hydrated and fermented with L. lactis ATCC 11454. Then, the co-fermentation with Bacillus strains was carried out. The amount of polyphenols in the samples ranged from 483.5 to 718.4 ug GAE g-1 and increased after 24 h fermentation with L. lactis ATCC 11454. The high viability of LAB in the fermented samples and after 7 days of storage at 4 °C (8 log CFU g-1) indicates the high nutrients bioavailability during the storage. Also, this co-fermentation on different barley products indicated a high reduction level (2 to 4 logs) of Bacillus due to the biosuppression effect of the LAB strain in this fermentation system. Brewer's spent grain (BSG) fermented with L. lactis ATCC 25 11454 produces a highly effective cell-free supernatant (CFS) for suppressing Bacillus strains. This was evident in both the inhibition zone and fluorescence analysis of bacteria viability. In conclusion, the obtained results justify the use of brewer's spent grain in selected food products, increasing their safety and nutritional value. This finding is highly beneficial in the sustainable management of post-production residues when current waste material can still serve as a source of food.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to explore the potential of Bifidobacterium infantis fermentation to modify the composition and physiological properties of barley juices. B. infantis JFM12 showed a potent capability to decrease the total sugar contents from 0.39 ± 0.01 mg/mL to 0.35 ± 0.01 mg/mL within 24 h of fermentation. The volatile metabolite profiles were enriched after B. infantis JFM12 fermentation, leading to the changes of 13 aldehydes, 11 ketones, 10 acids, 7 alcohols, and 6 esters. A total of 98 key non-volatile metabolites were identified in the barley juice between before and after B. infantis JFM12 fermentation, including 80 non-volatile metabolites that were remarkably increased and 18 non-volatile metabolites that were remarkably reduced. Furthermore, the antioxidant activities and lipase inhibitory activities of fermented barley juice were higher than those of unfermented barley juice. Overall, B. infantis JFM12 was beneficial in increasing the quality of barley juice.

Combined metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis reveals the mechanism underlying blue light-mediated promotion of flavones and flavonols accumulation in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. microgreens. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2023; 242:112692. [PMID: 36958087 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2023.112692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/13/2023]
Abstract
Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. (Chuanxiong) is an important Chinese medicinal herb, whose rhizomes are widely used as raw materials for treating various diseases caused by blood stasis. The fresh tender stems and leaves of Chuanxiong are also consumed and have the potential as microgreens. Here, we investigated the effect of light spectra on yield and total flavonoid content of Chuanxiong microgreens by treatment with LED-based white light (WL), red light (RL), blue light (BL), and continuous darkness (DD). The results showed that WL and BL reduced biomass accumulation but significantly increased total flavonoid content compared to RL or DD treatments. Widely targeted metabolomics analysis confirmed that BL promoted the accumulation of flavones and flavonols in Chuanxiong microgreens. Further integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics analysis revealed the mechanism by which BL induces the up-regulation of transcription factors such as HY5 and MYBs, promotes the expression of key genes targeted for flavonoid biosynthesis, and ultimately leads to the accumulation of flavones and flavonols. This study suggests that blue light is a proper light spectra to improve the quality of Chuanxiong microgreens, and the research results lay a foundation for guiding the de-etiolation of Chuanxiong microgreens to obtain both yield and quality in production practice.

Abstract
Reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) is an anaerobic and facultative anaerobic microbial-mediated soil management process. The extent of improvement of diseased soil properties by RSD relative to comparable healthy soil is, however, not well characterized. Importantly, how to promote the colonization efficiency of these facultative anaerobic functional species to ensure soil and plant health remain unknown. Here, Fusarium wilt-diseased soil of Momordica charantia grown under a plastic-shed field (PS-CK) was used to conduct molasses-RSD (MO-RSD) along with Paenibacillus sp. (a model of facultative anaerobic species) (MOPA-RSD) treatment, and the soil from a nearby open-air paddy field was considered comparable healthy soil (OA-CK). Both RSD treatments significantly improved the properties of PS-CK soil, and the extent of improvement of soil pH, Fusarium oxysporum reduction efficiency (98.36%~99.56%), and microbial community and functional composition were higher than that achieved for OA-CK soil, which indicated that RSD-regulated most soil properties outperformed those of the comparable healthy soil. The disease incidence and ascorbic acid content of M. charantia in MO-RSD- and MOPA-RSD-treated soils were considerably decreased, while the weight and soluble protein contents were correspondingly increased, as compared to those of M. charantia in PS-CK soil. Specifically, the changes in these physiological properties of M. charantia in MOPA-RSD soil performed well than that in MO-RSD soil. The relative abundances of Cohnella, Effusibacillus, Rummeliibacillus, Oxobacter, Thermicanus, and Penicillium enriched in both RSD-treated soils were positively correlated with Paenibacillus and negatively correlated with F. oxysporum population and disease incidence (P < 0.05). Notably, the relative abundances of these potential probiotics were considerably higher in MOPA-RSD-treated soil than in MO-RSD alone-treated soil. These results show that the RSD process with inoculation of Paenibacillus sp. could promote the colonization of this species and simultaneously stimulate the proliferation of other probiotic consortia to further enhance soil health and plant disease resistance.

Abstract
Natural antioxidants derived from plants have played a vital role in preventing a wide range of human chronic conditions and provide novel bioactive leads for investigators in pharmacotherapy discovery. This work was designed to examine the ethnopharmacological role of Urtica dioica (UD), Capsella bursa-pastoris (CBP), and Inula racemosa (IR). The total phenolic and flavonoid contents (TPC and TFC) were illustrated through colorimetric assays, while the antioxidant activity was investigated through DPPH and ABTS assays. The evaluation of phytochemicals by FT-IR of UD and CBP revealed high contents of aliphatic amines, while IR showed a major peak for ketones. The antioxidant activity, TPC and TFC were highest in the ethanol extract of UD, followed by CBP, and IR showed the lowest activity. All of the extracts revealed significant antioxidant capacities along a dosage gradient. Through a HPLC analysis at a wavelength of 280 nm, UD leaves demonstrated an intense peak of quercetin, and the peak for rutin was less intense. CBP (whole plant), instead, demonstrated a major yield of rutin, and a peak for quercetin was not observed in CBP. IR (rhizomes) showed both quercetin and rutin. All of the extracts were significantly cytotoxic to HepG2 cells after 48 h with the trend IR > UD > CBP. The outcomes of this study may be effective in the selection of specific plants as realistic sources of the bioactive components that might be useful in the nutraceutical progression and other biomedical efficacies.

Abstract
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grain is rich in fiber and antioxidant phytochemicals, including fatty acids, proteins, phenolic compounds, vitamins, and minerals, that offer various health benefits. Research on identifying different barley genotypes based on their health attributes is very limited. In this study, we performed an analysis of fatty acids, proteins, ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity of several Canadian barley cultivars and elite breeding lines. Linoleic acid (C18:2) was the predominant fatty acid present in the tested barley cultivars. The cultivar CDC Bold contained the highest amount of ascorbic acid, while the highest protein content was in CDC Mindon. An assessment of the free and bound phenolic compounds of barley grains showed quantitative changes among different genotypes of Canadian barley. Catechin is the most abundant molecule in free phenolics, while ferulic acid and para-coumeric acid are the most abundant in bound phenolics. Ferulic acid and vanillic acid were molecules detected in the soluble free fraction of all genotypes. Para-coumeric acid was detected only in genotypes such as CDC Copeland, CDC Bold, Lowe, and elite breeding Line 5 of both free and bound fractions of barley. Breeding Line 5 had the lowest antioxidant activity. An analysis of the above molecules and parameters of Canadian barley would help to uncover potential biomarkers in order to distinguish individual barley genotypes.

Abstract
Soil aridification and desertification are particularly prominent in China's karst areas, severely limiting crop yields and vegetation restoration. Therefore, it is very important to identify naturally drought-tolerant plant species. Sophora davidii (Franch.) Skeels is resistant to drought and soil infertility, is deeply rooted and is an excellent plant material for soil and water conservation. We studied the transcriptomic and metabolomic changes in S. davidii in response to drought stress (CK, control; LD, mild drought stress; MD, moderate drought stress; and SD, severe drought stress). Sophora davidii grew normally under LD and MD stress but was inhibited under SD stress; the malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), soluble sugar, proline, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid contents and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity significantly increased, while the superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) activities and soluble protein content significantly decreased. In the LD/CK, MD/CK and SD/CK comparison groups, there were 318, 734 and 1779 DEGs, respectively, and 100, 168 and 281 differentially accumulated metabolites, respectively. Combined analysis of the transcriptomic and metabolomic data revealed the metabolic regulation of S. davidii in response to drought stress. First, key candidate genes such as PRR7, PRR5, GI, ELF3, PsbQ, PsaK, INV, AMY, E2.4.1.13, E3.2.1.2, NCED, PP2C, PYL, ABF, WRKY33, P5CS, PRODH, AOC3, HPD, GPX, GST, CAT and SOD1 may govern the drought resistance of S. davidii. Second, three metabolites (oxidised glutathione, abscisic acid and phenylalanine) were found to be related to drought tolerance. Third, several key candidate genes and metabolites involved in 10 metabolic pathways were identified, indicating that these metabolic pathways play an important role in the response to drought in S. davidii and possibly other plant species.

Abstract
Although etiolated Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings are widely used as a model to study the de-etiolation process, the etiolation itself at the molecular level still needs elucidation. Here, we monitored the etiolation dynamics for wild type A. thaliana seedlings and lutein-deficient (lut2) mutant between 2 and 12 days of their growth in the absence of light. We analyzed the shape of the apex, the growth rate, the carotenoids and protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) accumulation, and the light-dependent protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (LPOR) transcripts. Differences concerning the apical hook curvature and cotyledon opening among seedlings of the same age were observed, mostly after day 6 of the culture. We categorized the observed apex shapes and presented quantitatively how distribution among the categories changed during 12 days of seedling growth. The Pchlide654/Pchlide633 ratio, corresponding to the amount of the photoactive Pchlide, was the highest in the youngest seedlings, and decreased with their age. LPORA, LPORB, and LPORC transcripts were detected in etiolated seedlings, and their content decreased during seedling growth. Expression of SAG12 or SAG13 senescence markers, depletion in antioxidants, and excess ion leakage were not observed during the etiolation. Lack of lutein in the lut2 mutant resulted in slow Pchlide accumulation and affected other xanthophyll composition.
