Anthocyanin synthetase (ANS), a key enzyme in the final step of the anthocyanin synthesis pathway, catalyzes the conversion of leucoanthocyanidins to anthocyanins. In this study, an ANS structural protein (TRINITY_DN18024_c0_g1) was found to be associated with anthocyanin accumulation in leaves, named . Real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR analysis revealed that the expression of was significantly higher in red-leaved (variant) than green-leaved (wild-type) strains, which was consistent with the transcriptome data. The UPLC results showed that the cyanidin metabolites may be the key substance influencing the final color formation of . The gene was cloned and analyzed through bioinformatics analysis. has a total length of 1371 bp, and it encodes 360 amino acids. Analysis of the structural domain of the protein revealed that contains a PcbC functional domain. Protein secondary structure predictions indicate that α-helix, irregularly coiled, and extended chains are the major building blocks. Subcellular localization predicted that might be localized in the nucleus. The phylogenetic tree revealed that is relatively closely related to in . The prediction of miRNA showed that the gene is regulated by miR6200. This study provides a theoretical reference for further analyzing the regulatory mechanism of leaf color formation in .

Background/objectives: Tartrazine (TRZ), a synthetic red azo dye derived from coal tar, is widely used as a food colorant in various food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. This study aims to investigate the impact of TRZ on the expression levels of DNA methyltransferases (, , and ) and histone deacetylases ( and ). Additionally, we evaluate genomic DNA stability using the alkaline comet assay in three human cell lines: immortalized human keratinocyte (HaCaT), human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), and human lung adenocarcinoma (A549).

American ginseng (AG) has long been used as an ingredient in the food and pharmaceutical industries because of its nutritional and economic value. AG is rich in nutrients, and its quality is greatly affected by how it is processed. However, there is a relative paucity of research on the comprehensive evaluation of different processing techniques of AG.

Background: Excessive purine intake increases the risk of hyperuricemia and gout. This study investigates the relationship between purine content in mutton and meat quality traits and explores the regulatory mechanism of purine metabolism through transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses.
Methods: Thirty-six-month-old hybrid sheep (Australian White × Small-tail Han) were selected.

includes more than 100 species (wild and cultivated), presenting a rich variety of corolla colors and associated traits. This variability provides important opportunities for investigating the differentiation of orthologous genes' functions and their evolutionary pathways. However, the genetic underpinnings of this diversity in corolla colors are still to be further explored.
