The distribution and translocation as well as the biosynthetic sites of 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IBMP) in bell pepper plants (Capsicum annuum) were examined. For IBMP-quantification, a stable-isotope dilution assay (SIDA) was developed, using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ToF-MS). While IBMP was the most abundant MP in all aerial plant parts, IPMP was dominating in root tissues. The highest IBMP-levels were found in unripe bell pepper fruits. Moreover, feeding experiments with [H]-l-leucine revealed that IBMP is biosynthesized in all plant parts, while in roots and ripe bell pepper fruit tissues no incorporation of the labelled precursor was detectable. A potential phloem translocation of IBMP could not be detected.

Background: Incidence data on Facial Nerve Disorders (FND) and Bell's palsy are currently limited. Prior epidemiological studies have estimated the incidence rate of Bell's palsy to be between 11 and 53/100,000 individuals, although the most cited incidence data are from single regions or municipalities, many of which are outdated from several decades ago.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of US adults from 2007 to 2022 using the Merative™ Marketscan® Research Databases.

The eco-stoichiometry of Ca/Cd in soil significantly affects Cd uptake and accumulation by plants in carbonate regions. In this study, the physiological responses and detoxification mechanisms of Capsicum annuum L. (capsicum) were investigated based on the eco-stoichiometric relationship of Ca/Cd in production substrates under varying pH levels (5, 6, and 7).

Sucrose nonfermenting-1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) intricately modulates plant responses to abiotic stresses and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. In pepper genome, five SnRK2 genes with sequence homology to CaSnRK2.6 showed distinct expression patterns across various pepper organs and in response to treatments with ABA, drought, mannitol, and salt.
