[PMID: 37406731 PMCID: PMC11081962 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2023.07.001] [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: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Folic acid (FA) is a critical metabolite in all living organisms and an important nutritional component of broccoli. Few studies have been conducted on the impact of an exogenous application of FA on the postharvest physiology of fruits and vegetables during storage. In this regard, the mechanism by which an exogenous application of FA extends the postharvest quality of broccoli is unclear. OBJECTIVE This study utilized a multicomponent analysis to investigate how an exogenous application of FA effects the postharvest quality of broccoli. METHODS Broccoli was soaked in 5 mg/L FA for 10 min and the effect of the treatment on the appearance and nutritional quality of broccoli was evaluated. These data were combined with transcriptomic, metabolomic, and DNA methylation data to provide insight into the potential mechanism by which FA delays senescence. RESULTS The FA treatment inhibited the yellowing of broccoli during storage. CHH methylation was identified as the main type of methylation that occurs in broccoli and the FA treatment was found to inhibit DNA methylation, promote the accumulation of endogenous FA and chlorophyl, and inhibit ethylene biosynthesis in stored broccoli. The FA treatment also prevented the formation of off-odors by inhibiting the degradation of glucosinolate. CONCLUSIONS FA treatment inhibited the loss of nutrients during the storage of broccoli, delayed its yellowing, and inhibited the generation of off-odors. Our study provides deeper insight into the mechanism by which the postharvest application of FA delays postharvest senescence in broccoli and provides the foundation for further studies of postharvest metabolism in broccoli.

Urb. to improve centelloside content by up-regulating gene expressions in the triterpenoid pathway. Heliyon 2024; 10:e23639. [PMID: 38192854 PMCID: PMC10772125 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. has wound healing, anti-inflammatory, cognitive improvement, and neuroprotective properties which have been attributed to its centelloside content. However, the quantities of these bioactive compounds are limited and vary due to genetic and environmental factors. Light qualities are known to enhance the production of secondary metabolites in several plant species, both preharvest and postharvest. In this study, fresh leaves of C. asiatica were subjected to different light emitting diode (LED) quality including white, dark, red, blue, and green to assess centelloside content, phytochemical constituents, and transcription level expression of triterpenoid biosynthesis genes. Results showed that white and blue LEDs significantly increased centelloside content in C. asiatica leaves at 3 days postharvest (dph) by 73 % over the control group at 0 dph. Blue LEDs stimulated the expression of triterpenoid biosynthesis genes including C. asiatica squalene synthase (CaSQS), C. asiatica β-amyrin synthase (CabAS), and C. asiatica UDP gluclosyltransferase-73AH1 (CaUGT73AH1; CaUGT), while different LED conditions gave diverse results. Red LED treatment triggered higher total flavonoid content (TFC) and total triterpenoid content (TTC) while white LEDs enhanced total triterpenoid content (TTC). Taken together, our findings suggest that postharvest under blue LEDs is a great approach to increase centelloside production of C. asiatica through gene up-regulation in triterpenoid pathway. Therefore, postharvest technology by LEDs serves as an effective tool for improving raw material quality for medicinal plant industries.

Abstract
Microspore embryogenesis is an effective method of obtaining double haploid (DH) lines in only 1 year. However, the microspore embryogenesis protocol was not efficient in pakchoi. This study aimed to establish an effective microspore culture protocol in pakchoi for hybrid breeding. The embryos were obtained from three genotypes (18SY01, 18SY02, 18SY03), but the frequency of microspore embryogenesis was significantly different. Globular embryos from three genotypes were placed into a rotary shaker (50 r/min, 25 ℃) for further culture to improve microspore embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration without callus development. Shake culture not only increased the frequency of cotyledonary embryos but also accelerated microspore embryogenesis in the NLN-13 liquid medium. Moreover, the doubled haploid rates of regenerated plants for the three genotypes were above 50%. The morphological characters and plot yield of DH lines were identified, and there were significant differences between them. According to the measurement of the self-compatibility index, all the DH lines were self-incompatible. Furthermore, the hybrid combination was prepared with the selected DH lines and the pakchoi genic male sterile line GMS010 to develop excellent hybrids. This work contributes to accelerating the application of microspore embryogenesis and supplying the DH lines in pakchoi hybrid breeding.

Abstract
Chlorophylls and carotenoids are two families of antioxidants present in daily ingested foods, whose recognition as added-value ingredients runs in parallel with the increasing number of demonstrated functional properties. Both groups include a complex and vast number of compounds, and extraction and analysis methods evolved recently to a modern protocol. New methodologies are more potent, precise, and accurate, but their application requires a better understanding of the technical and biological context. Therefore, the present review compiles the basic knowledge and recent advances of the metabolomics of chlorophylls and carotenoids, including the interrelation with the primary metabolism. The study includes material preparation and extraction protocols, the instrumental techniques for the acquisition of spectroscopic and spectrometric properties, the workflows and software tools for data pre-processing and analysis, and the application of mass spectrometry to pigment metabolomics. In addition, the review encompasses a critical description of studies where metabolomics analyses of chlorophylls and carotenoids were developed as an approach to analyzing the effects of biotic and abiotic stressors on living organisms.

Abstract
Low-intensity (10 μmol m-2 s-1) white LED (light-emitting diode) light effectively delayed senescence and maintained the quality of postharvest pakchoi during storage at 20 °C. To investigate the mechanism of LED treatment in maintaining the quality of pakchoi, metabolite profiles reported previously were complemented by transcriptomic profiling to provide greater information. A total of 7761 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in response to the LED irradiation of pak-choi during postharvest storage. Several pathways were markedly induced by LED irradiation, with photosynthesis being the most notable. More specifically, porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism and glucosinolate biosynthesis were significantly induced by LED irradiation, which is consistent with metabolomics reported previously. Additionally, chlorophyllide a, chlorophyll, as well as total glucosinolate content was positively induced by LED irradiation. Overall, LED irradiation delayed the senescence of postharvest pak-choi mainly by activating photosynthesis, inducting glucosinolate biosynthesis, and inhibiting the down-regulation of porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism pathways. The present study provides new insights into the effect and the underlying mechanism of LED irradiation on delaying the senescence of pak-choi. LED irradiation represents a useful approach for extending the shelf life of pak-choi.
