AI Article Synopsis
- A deep sequencing transcriptome study of tamarillo (Solanum betaceum) led to the identification of a new virus, proposed as tamarillo leaf malformation virus (TaLMV).
- TaLMV is closely related to the Colombian datura virus (CDV) and other potyviruses like tobacco etch virus, potato virus A, and tobacco vein mottling virus.
- This discovery marks the first complete polyprotein coding region sequence of a potyvirus infecting the tamarillo plant.
Article Abstract
Based on the results of a deep sequencing transcriptome study of tamarillo (Solanum betaceum), we report the genome sequence of a virus from this host plant. Since this probably represents a new member of the genus Potyvirus, the name tamarillo leaf malformation virus (TaLMV) has been proposed. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that TaLMV is the closest relative of Colombian datura virus (CDV), followed by three other potyviruses: tobacco etch virus, potato virus A and tobacco vein mottling virus. This is the first sequence of a potyvirus infecting Solanum betaceum containing the complete polyprotein coding region.

Tamarillo is widely grown in Yunnan Province, China, and has been found that it can be used in cheese-making with a distinctive fruity flavour. However, this primary component responsible for curdling milk remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the main component in tamarillo responsible for curdling milk using proteomics and ammonium sulfate (AS) precipitation.

Article Synopsis
- - A new saponin called diosgeninoside and a new fatty acid named betacic acid were discovered alongside six known compounds in a methanolic extract.
- - The chemical structures of these compounds were determined using 1D and 2D NMR spectrometry and other methods.
- - Both the methanolic extract and one of its fractions demonstrated moderate antibacterial activity against specific bacteria, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) measured at 128 µg/mL and 64 µg/mL for certain compounds.

Linnaeus 1753, a popular indoor potted plant known for its ornamental fruits, had its chloroplast genome sequenced in this study to determine its phylogenetic relationship with other related species and to construct a phylogenetic analysis tree. The research findings are as follows: 1. The chloroplast genome of comprises a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,260 base pairs, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,325 base pairs, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions, each measuring 25,390 base pairs in length.

The tamarillo, or , recognized for its comprehensive nutritional profile, has long been valued for its diverse ethnobotanical uses. This study delves into the potential therapeutic applications of by analyzing its polyphenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), anti-skin aging activities against key enzymes like elastase, tyrosinase, and hyaluronidase, and its cytotoxic effects on oral carcinoma cells. Extracts from the seeds, pulp, and peel of red and yellow fruits were prepared using methanol, ethanol, and acetone.
