Scent Knows Better: Utilizing Volatile Organic Compounds as a Robust Tool for Identifying Higher Cannabidiol- and Tetrahydrocannabinol-Containing Cannabis Cultivars in Field Conditions.

The primary cannabinoids cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), found in cannabis, are known to originate from genetic diversity, resulting in distinct characteristics. This study aimed to identify VOC markers to distinguish between higher CBD and THC cannabis cultivars under field conditions. Among the 58 VOCs, β-caryophyllene and α-humulene were primary VOCs across all cannabis cultivars.

Effects of Harvest Timing on Phytochemical Composition in Plants under an Environment-Controlled System.

The family is widely recognized for its production of essential oils and phenolic compounds that have promising value as pharmaceutical materials. However, the impact of environmental conditions and different harvest stages on the phytochemical composition of plants remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of harvest time on the phytochemical composition, including rosmarinic acid (RA) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), of four plants-Korean mint (AR), lemon balm (MO), opal basil (OBP), and sage (SO)-and was conducted under an environment-controlled system.

Effect of drainage ratio during strawberry cultivation:The volatilomics-based shelf-life indicators for strawberry fruit.

The metabolome of strawberries at harvest determines their storage capacity. Therefore, dynamics of volatile production during storage of strawberry cultivated under diverse drainage ratios, T1 (12.0%), T2 (25.

Exposure to Salinity and Light Spectra Regulates Glucosinolates, Phenolics, and Antioxidant Capacity of L. Microgreens.

The effect of salt treatment on (BC) microgreens grown under different light wavelengths on glucosinolates (GLs) and phenolic compounds were evaluated. Quantifiable GLs were identified using ultra-high performance-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry. Extracts' ability to activate antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT)) was evaluated on human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT116).

Postharvest Drying Techniques Regulate Secondary Metabolites and Anti-Neuroinflammatory Activities of .

extract is a potent traditional remedy for curing various ailments. Drying is the most important postharvest step during the processing of The drying process mainly involves heat (36 h at 60 °C) and freeze-drying (36 h at -80 °C). We investigated the effects of different postharvest drying protocols on the metabolites profiling of using GC-MS, followed by an investigation of the anti-neuroinflammatory potential in LPS-treated BV2 microglial cells.

Modulation of Rice Leaf Angle and Grain Size by Expressing and under the Control of Promoter.

Leaf angle and grain size are important agronomic traits affecting rice productivity directly and/or indirectly through modulating crop architecture. OsBC1, as a typical bHLH transcription factor, is one of the components comprising a complex formed with LO9-177 and OsBUL1 contributing to modulation of rice leaf inclination and grain size. In the current study, two homologues of , and were functionally characterized by expressing them under the control of promoter, which is preferentially expressed in the lamina joint and the spikelet of rice.

Optimization of antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-inflammatory activities and ganoderic acid content of differentially dried Ganoderma lucidum using response surface methodology.

The dried Ganoderma lucidum (GL) has been widely used for its pharmacological properties and bioactive ganoderic acids (GAs). Herein, extraction procedures combining ultra-sonication and heating were optimized using response surface methodology based on four variables (antioxidant activity, anti-diabetic activity, total GAs content, and total polysaccharide content) and principal component analysis. The extraction of freeze-dried GL at temperatures between 64.
