Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is regarded as one of the main global health problems. Accumulated evidence indicates that fruit-derived polyphenols can lower the risk of ALD, this attributed to their strong antioxidant capacities. Thinned immature kiwifruits (TIK) are the major agro-byproducts in the production of kiwifruits, which have abundantly valuable polyphenols.

- Discarded unripe kiwifruits (DUKs) are a major byproduct in kiwifruit production, yet their potential as valuable food sources is underexplored due to limited knowledge on their phytochemicals compared to mature fruits.* -
- A study comparing the phenolic compounds and bioactivity of unripe, mature, and overripe kiwifruits revealed that DUKs contain significantly higher levels of beneficial phenolic compounds and exhibit stronger antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.* -
- The findings suggest that DUKs have considerable potential for use in the food industry, encouraging further exploration and development of their applications as functional foods.*
Chili anthracnose is one of the most common and destructive fungal pathogens that affects the yield and quality of pepper. Although WRKY proteins play crucial roles in pepper resistance to a variety of pathogens, the mechanism of their resistance to anthracnose is still unknown. In this study, we found that expression was obviously induced by infection and salicylic acid (SA) treatments.
