In order to explore the functions of genes of key rate-limiting enzymes chalcone isomerase(CHI) and chalcone synthase(CHS) in the biosynthesis of flavonoids in Lonicera macranthoides, this study screened and cloned the cDNA sequences of CHI and CHS genes from the transcriptome data of conventional variety and 'Xianglei' of L. macranthoides. Online bioinformatics analysis software was used to analyze the characteristics of the encoded proteins, and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR) to detect the expression of CHI and CHS in different parts of the varieties at different flowering stages. The content of luteo-loside was determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) and the correlation with the expression of the two genes was analyzed. The results showed that the CHI and CHS of the two varieties contained a 627 bp and 1170 bp open reading frame(ORF), respectively, and the CHI protein and CHS protein were stable, hydrophilic, and non-secretory. qRT-PCR results demonstrated that CHI and CHS of the two varieties were differentially expressed in stems and leaves at different flowering stages, particularly the key stages. Based on HPLC data, luteoloside content was in negative correlation with the relative expression of the genes. Thus, CHI and CHS might regulate the accumulation of flavonoids in L. macranthoides, and the specific functions should be further studied. This study cloned CHI and CHS in L. macranthoides and analyzed their expression for the first time, which laid a basis for investigating the molecular mechanism of the differences in flavonoids such as luteoloside in L. macranthoides and variety breeding.

The constant emergence of new viral pathogens underscores the need for continually evolving, effective antiviral drugs. A key challenge is identifying compounds that are both efficacious and safe, as many candidates fail during development due to unforeseen toxicity. To address this, the embryonic zebrafish morphology, mortality, and behavior (ZBE) screen and the SYSTEMETRIC® Cell Health Screen (CHS) were employed to evaluate the safety of 403 compounds from the Cayman Antiviral Screening Library.

Emerging evidence suggests that bi-directional communication and referral pathways, when employed strategically, can lead to favorable health outcomes by connecting patients with complex, multi-faceted health and social needs to appropriate services and resources. However, despite these benefits, patient acceptance of referrals via these pathways remains suboptimal. In this study, we describe individual and clinical factors associated with patient acceptance of these referrals.

Introduction: Cauliflower is widely cultivated all over the world is attributed to its palatable flavor, high levels of anti-cancer compounds, and diverse array of nutrients. Exposure to extremely cold stress during production can result in a more frequent occurrence of purple discoloration in cauliflower curds. In response to cold stress, plants naturally produce anthocyanins to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated as a defense mechanism.

Passion fruit is one of the most famous fruit crops in tropical and subtropical regions due to its high edible, medicinal, and ornamental value. Flavonoids, a class of plant secondary metabolites, have important health-related roles. In this study, a total of 151 flavonoid metabolites were identified, of which 25 key metabolites may be the main contributors to the purple phenotype.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the genes related to flavonoid synthesis, regulation, and transport in a plant species called Ilex asprella, identifying 28,478 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across leaf, stem, and root tissues.
- A detailed analysis reveals specific patterns of gene expression for flavonoid pathways, indicating that different pathways are dominant in different plant tissues: roots are more active in stilbenes and anthocyanins, while leaves focus on flavonols, and stems are associated with isoflavones.
- The research highlights the presence of key regulatory genes and transporters in these pathways and notes the lack of certain genes necessary for producing specific flavonoids, providing insights valuable for medicinal
