Article Synopsis
- Nitrate is crucial for grapevine growth, but how it is absorbed and used at the molecular level needs further exploration.
- The study identifies VvNPF6.5, a nitrate transporter in grapevines, which is mainly located in the plasma membrane, is expressed in roots and stems, and increases in activity when nitrate is present.
- VvNPF6.5 enhances nitrogen use efficiency and contributes to nitrate signaling by regulating primary nitrate response genes.
Synergistic Hypoglycemic Effects of Pumpkin Polysaccharides and Puerarin on Type II Diabetes Mellitus Mice.

College of Food Science and Biotechnology, Tianjin Agricultural University, Tianjin 300384, China.
To investigate the hypoglycemic effect and potential mechanism of pumpkin polysaccharides and puerarin on type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice, mice were fed a high-fat diet and injected intraperitoneally with streptozotacin to induce T2DM. After eight weeks of drug administration, blood samples were withdrawn from tail veins of mice that had been fasted overnight. The results showed that both pumpkin polysaccharides and puerarin, as well as a pumpkin polysaccharides and puerarin combination, could ameliorate T2DM.

Plant Physiol Biochem
July 2016
Research Institute of Forestry and Pomology, Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Science, Shanghai, 201403, China.
Article Synopsis
- Cluster thinning positively influences the anthocyanin biosynthesis in grape berry skins, leading to increased anthocyanin content and overall berry quality.
- During the study of 'Summer Black' grapes, it was found that while berry weight and acidity remained unchanged, soluble solids and anthocyanins notably increased with cluster thinning.
- Key genes involved in anthocyanin production showed significant changes in expression levels: most were up-regulated, while specific genes like F3'H were down-regulated, suggesting a shift in the anthocyanin profile due to this practice.

L-Rhamnose (Rha) is synthesized via a similar enzymatic pathway in bacteria, plants and fungi. In plants, nucleotide-rhamnose synthase/epimerase-reductase (NRS/ER) catalyzes the final step in the conversion of dTDP/UDP-α-D-Glc to dTDP/UDP-β-L-Rha in an NAD(P)H dependent manner. Currently, only biochemical evidence for the function of NRS/ER has been described.
