Integrated transcriptomic and CGAs analysis revealed IbGLK1 is a key transcription factor for chlorogenic acid accumulation in sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) blades.

Sweetpotato blades are rich in the functional secondary metabolite chlorogenic acid (CGA), which deepen potential for effective utilization of the blade in industry. In this study, we evaluated the type and content of CGA in the blades of 16 sweetpotato genotypes and analyzed the correlation between CGA content and antioxidant capacity. Then we isolated and characterized IbGLK1, a GARP-type transcription factor, by comparative transcriptome analysis.

Transcriptome-Based WGCNA Analysis Reveals the Mechanism of Drought Resistance Differences in Sweetpotato ( (L.) Lam.).

Sweetpotato ( (L.) Lam.) is a globally significant storage root crop, but it is highly susceptible to yield reduction under severe drought conditions.

Roles of physical fields in the extraction of pectin from plant food wastes and byproducts: A systematic review.

Pectin is a naturally occurring hydrocolloid found in the cell wall and middle lamella of many plants and has numerous functional applications in food and other related industries. The type of extraction methods used in production has a strong influence on the structural or physicochemical properties of the resultant pectin and the potential application or market value of the produced pectin. Many conventional extraction methods are well-established and commercially well adopted.

One-pot approach to 1,2-disubstituted indoles via Cu(II)-catalyzed coupling/cyclization under aerobic conditions and its application for the synthesis of polycyclic indoles.

A straightforward assembly of 1,2-disubstituted indoles has been developed through a Cu(II)-catalyzed domino coupling/cyclization process. Under aerobic conditions, a wide range of 1,2-disubstituted indole derivatives were efficiently and facilely synthesized from 2-alkynylanilines and boronic acids. 2-(2-Bromoaryl)-1-aryl-1H-indoles, which were selectively generated in one pot under the Cu catalysis, afforded the indolo[1,2-f]phenanthridines via Pd-catalyzed intramolecular direct C(sp(2))-H arylation.

Copper-catalyzed domino addition/double cyclization: an approach to polycyclic benzimidazole derivatives.

An efficient and versatile method for the assembly of novel polycyclic benzimidazole derivatives has been developed by Cu-catalyzed domino addition/double cyclization reactions. A wide variety of polycyclic benzimidazole derivatives, which might be used as synthetic medicines and functional materials, were successfully assembled from bis-(o-haloaryl)carbodiimides. Unexpected N-methylated benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]indoles can also be selectively assembled.
