Membrane filtration technologies have shown great potential as a gentle and effective method for concentrating and fractionating proteins for food applications. However, the application of this technology to plant-derived protein streams is in its infancy. In this study, an aqueous rapeseed protein concentrate was obtained with wet milling, and its performance during ultrafiltration with two distinct molecular weight cut-offs (10 and 100 kDa) was tested. All rapeseed proteins were retained during filtration. The addition of pectinase during extraction prior to filtration caused important structural modifications to the extract, resulting in increased permeate fluxes, increased carbohydrate permeation and a reduction in irreversible fouling. Lager pore sizes led to more pronounced fouling. FTIR analysis of the spent membranes showed that proteins and lipids are causing irreversible fouling.

Soil salinization is one of the main problems leading to a reduction in arable land area. In the present study, strongly salt-tolerant lines were screened for germination rates and physiological indices. The mechanism of saline-alkali stress tolerance in winter rapeseed was examined using transcriptome and metabolome analyses.

Bee pollen, a rich nutritional food, was employed to develop a raw material for skin whitening. The polyphenol profile and antioxidant, antityrosinase, and anti-melanogenesis activities of the ethanol extracts of five species of bee pollens (EEBPs) were determined. The results showed that there were a total of 121 phenolic compounds in these EEBPs.

Article Synopsis
- TCP transcription factors are crucial for plant growth and stress responses, but their function in the cold stress response of L. is not well understood.
- This research identified a gene family in L., revealing 19 members with varying molecular weights and unstable proteins localized in the nucleus.
- The study found that these genes contain elements responsive to hormones, light, and stress, with significant differential expression during cold stress and other conditions, suggesting they are key regulators in stress response mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- Yellow seed coat color (SCC) is linked to higher seed oil content (SOC) and lower seed lignocellulose content (SLC), but no dominant yellow SCC genes were previously known.
- A dominant yellow SCC gene called N53-2 was identified in a study using a double haploid population from N53-2 and a black seed coat material, revealing thousands of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) and specific trans-eQTL hotspots.
- Transgenic experiments confirmed that the newly discovered allele produces yellow SCC seeds with significantly higher SOC and lower SLC, offering promising prospects for breeding rapeseed with desirable traits.

Canola (Brassica napus sp.), the most important oily seed product in the world, is affected largely by salinity and drought stresses due to its ability to be planted in arid and semiarid regions. Therefore, studying potent genes involved in salt/drought stress response in canola would help improve abiotic stress tolerance.
