The kinetics and protein-expression level of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in fruits of olive trees (Olea europaea) cv. Picual, Verdial, Arbequina, and Frantoio have been studied in relation to the concentration of total phenolic compounds, oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, and tyrosol during fruit ripening. Frantoio was the variety that showed the highest total phenol concentration, the highest PAL activity, the lowest PPO activity, and the lowest protein levels. In contrast, Verdial was the variety that showed the lowest total phenol concentration, the least PAL activity, the greatest PPO activity, and the highest protein levels. Arbequina and Picual showed intermediate levels. These results suggest the existence of a coordinated response between PAL, PPO, and the concentration of total phenols over ripening in the four varieties. The concentration of total and specific phenols differed between varieties and specifically changed over ripening.

Background: The metal oxide nanoparticles possess unique properties such as biological compatibility, superior reactivity, and capacity to develop reactive oxygen species, due to this they have drawn significant interest in cancer treatment. The various MONPs such as cerium oxide, Copper oxide, Iron oxide, Titanium dioxide, and Zinc oxide have been investigated for several types of cancers including brain, breast, cervical, colon, leukemia, liver, lung, melanoma, ovarian, and prostate cancers. However, traditional physiochemical synthetic methods for MONPs commonly include toxic materials, a major concern that raises questions regarding their biocompatibility and safety.

Soil contamination with toxic heavy metals [such as aluminum (Al)] is becoming a serious global problem due to the rapid development of the social economy. Although plant growth-promoting rhizo-bacteria (PGPR) are the major protectants to alleviate metal toxicity, the study of these bacteria to ameliorate the toxic effects of Al is limited. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of different levels of (5 ppm and 10 ppm) of accession number of MT123456 on plant growth and biomass, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange attributes, oxidative stress and response of antioxidant compounds (enzymatic and nonenzymatic), and their specific gene expression, sugars, nutritional status of the plant, organic acid exudation pattern and Al accumulation from the different parts of the plants, which was spiked with different levels of Al [0 µM (i.

This study aimed to promote the valorization of lupin seeds by extracting both non-polar and polar fractions to produce a protein-rich flour suitable for food applications. Green extraction methods such as Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) and SFE followed by gas-expanded liquid extraction with ethanol/CO mixtures were employed. SFE yielded lupin oil with extraction yields ranging from 2.
