Seabuckthorn extract is rich in bioactive compounds and well known for its health benefits. The study investigated the effect of seabuckthorn leaf extract on browning of fresh-cut potatoes. The results showed that seabuckthorn leaf extract significantly inhibited the browning of fresh-cut potatoes compared with seabuckthorn fruit extract. Catechin, hypericin, gallic acid, casuarinin and isorhamnetin were main components in seabuckthorn leaf extract. Further research revealed that seabuckthorn leaf extract competitively inhibited polyphenol oxidase (PPO) with IC value of 0.7 mg/mL. Molecular docking indicated that gallic acid stably bound to the active site of PPO, while isorhamnetin had low affinity on PPO. These results also demonstrated that seabuckthorn leaf extract inhibited browning of fresh-cut potatoes by reducing activities of peroxidase and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, decreasing contents of phenolics and elevating antioxidant capacity. In addition, synergistic anti-browning effect was found with casuarinin, isorhamnetin, gallic acid and pedunculagin.

Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is an excellent plant that has the concomitant function of both medicine and foodstuff with high nutritional and health-promoting properties. As a pivotal bioactive component mainly existing in the seeds and leaves, seabuckthorn protein and its derived peptides have aroused wide attention owing to their multifaceted pharmacological activities, including anti-hypertensive, hypoglycemic, anti-obesity, anti-freeze, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, sobriety, anti-oxidant and anti-neurodegenerative functions. Despite these promising attributes, the application of seabuckthorn peptides as functional food and medicines are impeded due to lack of a comprehensive understanding of pharmacological activities and intricate structure-activity relationship.

Cardiovascular diseases are a broadly understood concept focusing on vascular and heart dysfunction. Lack of physical exercise, type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, thromboembolism, and kidney and lung diseases all contribute to the development of heart and blood vessel dysfunction. Although effective and important, traditional treatment with diuretics, statins, beta blockers, calcium inhibitors, ACE inhibitors, and anti-platelet drugs remains a second-line treatment after dietary interventions and lifestyle changes.

Sea-buckthorn () is widely distributed across the Eurasian continent. Recently sea-buckthorn has shown premature ageing and decline when confronted with water deficiency and damage in northwest China and the Loess Plateau region. However, the physiological process of sea-buckthorn senescence in response to drought and pest damage is still unknown.

Seabuckthorn () is a perennial, multipurpose wonder plant, popular for its immense medicinal, nutritional, and therapeutic properties. However, due to the lack of whole-genome-based studies, the molecular mechanism governing distinct sexual phenotypes is still not clear. We employed the high-throughput NGS Illumina NovaSeq paired-end technology to generate whole transcriptome profiles of male and female plants of .
