Perilla seed bugs (Nysius sp.) are considered to be the emerging pests causing nutritional and yield losses in perilla and cereal crops. A survey of perilla seed bugs on weeds and perilla crops was conducted over the course of 2 yr in Korea to determine the species composition, abundance, and seasonal dynamics of perilla seed bugs. Three species of Heteroptera (Nysius plebeius, Nysius hidakai, and Nysius inconspicuus), nymphs of Nysius species, and several parasitoid species were collected from weeds and perilla crops. Nysius hidakai was the most abundant perilla seed bugs. In 2019, adult perilla seed bugs, nymphs of perilla seed bugs, and parasitoid species were more abundant in weed species than in perilla crops. An early peak with a greater number of adult perilla seed bug (N. hidakai) was observed in weeds in 2020. However, an identical peak with a similar number of perilla seed bug (N. hidakai) was found in perilla crops in both years. Peak perilla seed bugs densities were observed in the 4th week of June, 2020 in weeds. Parasitoid species from Aphidiidae (1), Braconidae (11), Eulophidae (7), Figitidae (5), Ichneumonidae (7), Platygastridae (1), and Pteromalidae (5) subfamilies were collected. Perilla seed bugs seem to be a serious and increasingly important pest in several field crop species including perilla crops grown on the southern Korean peninsula. Monitoring and early detection of insect species are vital to predicting seasonal colonization and population build-up of perilla seed bugs on perilla crops from a climate change perspective, and essential for developing appropriate management techniques. Thus, continuous monitoring of perilla seed bugs in alternative weed hosts is needed to protect perilla crops from perilla seed bug infestation.

This comprehensive review explores the biological functions of seed proteins and peptides, highlighting their significant potential for health and therapeutic applications. This review delves into the mechanisms through which perilla peptides combat oxidative stress and protect cells from oxidative damage, encompassing free radical scavenging, metal chelating, in vivo antioxidant, and cytoprotective activities. Perilla peptides exhibit robust anti-aging properties by activating the Nrf2 pathway, enhancing cellular antioxidant capacity, and supporting skin health through the promotion of keratinocyte growth, maintenance of collagen integrity, and reduction in senescent cells.

This study explored convolutional autoencoder (CAE)-based feature extraction from entire two-trace two-dimensional (2T2D) correlation maps as a promising tool to enhance the accuracy of vibrational spectroscopy-based discriminant analysis. Although 2T2D correlation maps constructed using only a pair of spectra were effective to highlight minute spectral differences, there was an excessive number of features (variables). Thus, only slice spectra at a wavenumber chosen from the map were typically used for discriminant analysis.

The proper encapsulation of liposoluble tea polyphenols (LTP) is expected to better protect oil system. Chitosan hydrochloride-carboxymethyl starch (CHC-CMS) nanoparticles-based Pickering emulsions and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/sodium citrate (HPMC/SC) microporous film were combined to embed and control-release LTP. With the CHC:CMS ratio varied from 1:0.

Eurotiales fungi are thought to be distributed worldwide but there is a paucity of information about their occurrence on diverse substrates or hosts and at specific localities. Some of the Eurotiales, including Aspergillus and Penicillium species, produce an array of secondary metabolites of use for agricultural, medicinal, and pharmaceutical applications. Here, we carried out a survey of the Eurotiales in South Korea, focusing on soil, freshwater, and plants (dried persimmon fruits and seeds of Perilla frutescens, known commonly as shiso).

The present investigation explores into the influence of dietary nutrients, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-derived omega-3 fatty acid abundant in perilla seed oil (PSO), on the development of colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CRC). The study employs a mouse model to scrutinize the effects of ALA-rich PSO in the context of inflammation-driven CRC. Perilla seeds were subjected to oil extraction, and the nutritional composition of the obtained oil was analysed.
