This study investigated the combined application of nitrogen and sulfur fertilizers on the structural characteristics and physicochemical properties of buckwheat resistant starch. The results showed that combined fertilization did not change the crystalline diffraction pattern of the resistant starch samples (exhibiting a B-type crystalline structure), but significantly (p < 0.05) increased the relative crystallinity (35.07-44.36 %). In addition, combined fertilization enhanced resistant starch content (28.36-35.22 %), apparent amylose content (20.50-35.06 %), particle size, pasting temperature (50.30-50.66 °C) and gelatinization enthalpy (2.77-4.65 J g). Conversely, higher fertilization levels were associated with lower light transmittance, water solubility, swelling power and viscosity. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed that buckwheat resistant starch and apparent amylose content were significantly (p < 0.01) positively correlated with particle size and gelatinization temperatures, while negatively correlated with viscosity. This study provides a theoretical basis for optimizing the application of nitrogen and sulfur fertilizers to improve the properties of buckwheat resistant starch.

Unlabelled: To investigate the mechanism of pod dehiscence in adzuki bean, RNA sequencing was utilized to analyze transcriptomes in the ventral and dorsal sutures of pods from two dehiscence-resistant accessions and two dehiscence-susceptible accessions. A total of 943 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Through the Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) metabolic enrichment pathways, 34 genes related to pod dehiscence were identified.

High-amylose wheat has garnered significant attention from the food industry for its potential to produce low-glycaemic food products. It is well-established that there is a direct correlation between the amylose content in flour and the amount of resistant starch (RS) in foods. Recently, some research initiatives have successfully produced high-amylose durum wheat by targeting key enzymes in the amylopectin biosynthesis pathway, though this has resulted in a reduction in seed weight.

This study examined effects of corn bran hemicellulose (CBH) with three molecular weight levels-CBH-H (M = 789 × 10), CBH-M (M = 15 × 10), and CBH-L (M = 1 × 10)-on wheat starch digestion and explored the underlying mechanism by investigating their interactions with starch and enzymatic activities. The results demonstrated that when heated at 100 °C and 130 °C, CBH-H exhibited the strongest inhibition on peak and setback viscosity, reducing them by 49.3 % and 44.
