Abstract
D-borneol is a double-loop monoterpene with a wide use in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries. Natural D-borneol can be extracted from branches and leaves of D-borneol resource plants. With the widespread use of natural D-borneol, the identification of D-borneol resource plants and the protection of germplasm resources have become the focus of research. In this study, plant leaf morphology, chemical composition, and simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular marker analysis were used to analyze and cluster 5 species of D-borneol resource plants and their closely related species. It was found that all three analysis methods could distinguish and cluster these D-borneol resource plants to some degree. The result of SSR analysis using capillary electrophoresis was the best, and it could distinguish Mei Pian tree from Yin Xiang as well as Longnao Zhang from An Zhang. The correlation analysis between SSR similarity matrix and leaf morphology analysis and between SSR similarity matrix and chemical composition similarity matrix revealed that they both had significant correlations (P < 0.0001) and the correlation (r = 0.588) between SSR and leaf morphology was a little higher than that (r = 0.519) between SSR and chemical composition. This indicated that the environment had a greater impact on the chemical composition than on leaf morphology. The research findings will offer efficient techniques to cluster natural D-borneol resource plants and establish a theoretical basis for their future development and utilization.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Fingerprints and Mini DNA Markers for the Authentication of Cinnamon Species Ingredients Used in Food and Natural Health Products. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:841. [PMID: 38592863 PMCID: PMC10975438 DOI: 10.3390/plants13060841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
Cinnamomum verum (syn C. zeylanicum) is considered 'true' cinnamon. However, it is reported that less expensive sources of cinnamon from C. cassia (syn C. aromaticum), C. loureiroi, and C. burmannii (toxic coumarin) may be used in the place of C. verum. We lack the quality assurance tools that are required to differentiate C. verum from other cinnamon species when verifying that the correct species is sourced from ingredient suppliers. The current research on cinnamon species authentication using DNA tools is limited to a few species and the use of high-quality DNA extracted from raw leaf materials. The cinnamon bark traded in the supply chain contains much less DNA and poorer-quality DNA than leaves. Our research advances DNA methods to authenticate cinnamon, as we utilized full-length chloroplast genomes via a genome skimming approach for C. burmannii and C. cassia to facilitate the design of optimal mini DNA markers. Furthermore, we developed and validated the use of NMR fingerprints for several commercial cinnamon species, including the quantification of 16 molecules. NMR fingerprints provided additional data that were useful for quality assessment in cinnamon extract powders and product consistency. Both the new mini DNA markers and NMR fingerprints were tested on commercial cinnamon products.

Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive literature review that investigates the distinctions between true and false cinnamon. Given the intricate compositions of essential oils (EOs), various discrimination approaches were explored to ensure quality, safety, and authenticity, thereby establishing consumer confidence. Through the utilization of physical-chemical and instrumental analyses, the purity of EOs was evaluated via qualitative and quantitative assessments, enabling the identification of constituents or compounds within the oils. Consequently, a diverse array of techniques has been documented, encompassing organoleptic, physical, chemical, and instrumental methodologies, such as spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. Electronic noses (e-noses) exhibit significant potential for identifying cinnamon adulteration, presenting a rapid, non-destructive, and cost-effective approach. Leveraging their capability to detect and analyze volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles, e-noses can contribute to ensuring authenticity and quality in the food and fragrance industries. Continued research and development efforts in this domain will assuredly augment the capacities of this promising avenue, which is the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms in conjunction with spectroscopic data to combat cinnamon adulteration.

Anal Biochem 2023:115225.

Abstract
An efficient method of genomic DNA extraction that provides high quality and yield is a crucial pre-requisite and limiting factor in plant genetic analysis. However, pure genomic DNA can be challenging to obtain from some plant species due to their sugar and secondary metabolite contents. Lippia alba is an important aromatic and medicinal plant, chemically characterized by the presence of tannins, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and essential oils, which interfere with the extraction of pure genomic DNA. In this scenario, optimizing the extraction methods and minimizing the effects of these compounds are necessary. This study compares six plant DNA extraction protocols based on the CTAB method. The quality and quantity of DNA samples obtained were determined by physical appearance by electrophoresis in agarose gels and spectrophotometry. The results highlight the difficulty in obtaining pure and clear bands for all tested methods, except for the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-based protocol created by our team, which was the better option for obtaining high-quality genomic DNA of L. alba. We conclude that adding PVP-40 into DNA extraction buffers can optimize the DNA extraction of L. alba and indicate this protocol for DNA extraction from other aromatic plants.

Abstract
In this report, in vitro doubled haploid (DH) plants were established in two tea (Camellia spp) cultivars, TV21 (Assam Type) and TV19 (Cambod Type). Androgenic globular stage haploid embryos, obtained via callusing from microspores at an early-to-late uninucleate stage in anther cultures, were diploidized by colchicine treatments at varying concentrations and durations under dark incubation at 25 ± 2 °C temperature. Thereafter, treated embryos were transferred to development medium, Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP; 1 μM) + gibberellic acid (GA3; 0.3 μM) + L-glutamine (80 mg l-1) + L-serine (20 mg l-1) and incubated in diffused light. Ploidy of germinating embryos was evaluated by flow-cytometry and cytological squash preparation. High chromosome doubling, 76.89% and 67.34%, was obtained in embryos of TV21 and TV19, respectively, at 0.2% colchicine treatment for 24 h. The DH plants were further multiplied via axillary-bud proliferation on multiplication medium, MS + glucose (30 g l-1) + BAP (5 μM) + GA3 (0.5 μM) + IBA (0.5 μM) + L- glutamine (80 mg l-1) + L-serine (20 mg l-1). Rooting of shoots was achieved on ⅓ MS basal medium within 50 days of inoculation when shoots were pre-treated with IBA (175 μM) for ten days. The rooted plants were acclimatized in field. Homozygosity in diploidized plants was validated by SSR marker.

Abstract
Two "mass ratio-DNA copy concentration ratio" formulas were established respectively on droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and chip-based digital PCR (cdPCR) to determine the mass ratio of kidney bean, a common alternative plant-derived ingredient in lotus seed paste. The limit of detection for DNA copy concentration of kidney bean and lotus seed was 6 copies/μL. Quantitative detection range was set from 5 to 80%, and the limit of quantification for mass ratio of kidney bean in lotus seed paste was defined as 5%. Results of 6 simulated samples and 16 prepackaged pastes in this work offer compelling evidence that an innovative scheme for quantitative detection of kidney bean in lotus seed paste was available, and provide technical support for the identification of suspicious ingredients from fraudulent substitution or adventitious contamination. Graphical abstract Two "mass ratio-DNA copy concentration ratio" formulas were established respectively on droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and chip digital PCR (cdPCR) to determine the mass ratio of kidney bean in adulterated lotus seed paste. It was the first time to quantify adulterate food by directly converting DNA copy concentration ratio obtained from digital PCR to mass ratio, which could provide strong technical support for quantitative detection of adulterated food.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum L.) is a rich source of anthocyanin pigments resulting in vibrant colours and anti-oxidant contents. Although the intensity and pattern of anthocyanin biosynthesis in fruit are strongly influenced by R2R3-MYB transcription factors, little is known about the regulation and role of MYB in anthocyanin pathway of pomegranate. OBJECTIVES The present study was conducted to elucidate the relationship between the expression of MYB transcription factor and the anthocyanin accumulation during the colour development phase of pomegranate fruits. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this work, R2R3-MYB transcription factor (PgMYB) was isolated and characterized from pomegranate skin through RACE-PCR. The expression of PgMYB gene was monitored in three distinct pomegranate accessions with distinctive skin colour and pattern by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS The results indicated a strong association between skin colour in mature pomegranate fruits with the PgMYB transcripts. The highest expression level of PgMYB gene was observed in Poost Siyah Yazd (dark purple skin) throughout the ripening process. Furthermore, comparison of PgMYB amino acid sequences with those of R2R3-MYB family in grapevine, eucalyptus, peach, cacao, populus and Arabidopsis demonstrated that this protein shares high similarity (75-85% amino acid identity) with their conserved MYB domain. Computational structure prediction of PgMYB showed that the three conserved amino acids (Asn, Lys and Lys) are present in the same position of the MYB domain. CONCLUSIONS It is speculated that PgMYB gene influences the fruit colour and could be used to improve the accumula-tion of anthocyanin pigments in the pomegranate fruit.
