Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the cellulose synthase gene family in potato ( L.).

Potato () is the fourth largest staple food crop globally. However, potato cultivation is frequently challenged by various diseases during planting, significantly impacting both crop quality and yield. Pathogenic microorganisms must first breach the plant's cell wall to successfully infect potato plants.

Functional Food Potential of , , and in Managing Hyperuricemia through Dual Enzyme Inhibition.

Amid growing concerns regarding gout and hyperuricemia associated with high-protein and purine-rich diets, the need for effective prevention and management strategies with minimal side effects has become increasingly critical. This study evaluates the potential of three commonly consumed plant-based functional foods, , , and , inhibiting xanthine oxidase (XO) and adenosine deaminase (ADA), key enzymes in uric acid metabolism. Results from hyperuricemia model mice indicate that this blend significantly reduces serum uric acid levels, mirroring the efficacy of conventional prevention and management strategies such as allopurinol but with fewer adverse effects.

Characterization of ribose-5-phosphate isomerase converting D-psicose to D-allose from Thermotoga lettingae TMO.

The gene coding for ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (Rpi) from Thermotoga lettingae TMO was cloned and expressed in E. coli. The recombinant enzyme was purified by Ni-affinity chromatography.
