Phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) induces anthocyanin biosynthesis; however, the underlying molecular mechanism is less known. In this study, we found that the apple MYB transcription factor MdMYB1 activated anthocyanin biosynthesis in response to ABA. Using a yeast screening technique, we isolated MdbZIP44, an ABA-induced bZIP transcription factor in apple, as a co-partner with MdMYB1. MdbZIP44 promoted anthocyanin accumulation in response to ABA by enhancing the binding of MdMYB1 to the promoters of downstream target genes. Furthermore, we identified MdBT2, a BTB protein, as an MdbZIP44-interacting protein. A series of molecular, biochemical, and genetic analysis suggested that MdBT2 degraded MdbZIP44 protein through the Ubiquitin-26S proteasome system, thus inhibiting MdbZIP44-modulated anthocyanin biosynthesis. Taken together, we reveal a novel working mechanism of MdbZIP44-mediated anthocyanin biosynthesis in response to ABA.

Echium amoenum (borage) powder (EAP) is consumed traditionally and is known to possess health-promoting effects. In this research, application of Echium amoenum (borage) powder (EAP) at levels of zero, 1 and 2 % w/w was investigated in the production of biscuit as a widely consumed snack and some characteristics of dough and biscuit samples were evaluated. By adding EAP and increasing its level, water absorption values and dough stability increased (p < 0.

The winemaking process generates huge amounts of waste every year. Fermented grape pomace, the major by-waste product, holds significant value due to its chemical composition and technological properties. In this study a multi-omics approach was employed for the detailed molecular characterization of fermented grape pomace from Montepulciano grape, a widely used Italian red grape variety.

The risk of glycolipid metabolic disorders (GLMDs)-which encompass type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and atherosclerosis--is rising gradually and posing challenges to health care. With the popularity of healthy lifestyles, anthocyanin-rich berries have emerged as a potential dietary intervention. This review uses bibliometric analysis to synthesize current research on the role of anthocyanins in relieving GLMDs.
