Biotransformation of Carvone by Hylocereus undatus Shoots.

The aim of the study was to assess the potential of in vitro cultures of Hylocereus undatus (pitaya; dragon fruit) to biotransform carvone and determine the products. Pitaya plants were used for their rich enzymatic system capable of complex biochemical reactions. Carvone enantiomers were chosen as model compounds.

Development and validation of PCR marker array for molecular selection towards spring, vernalization-independent and winter, vernalization-responsive ecotypes of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.).

White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is an ancient grain legume that is still undergoing improvement of domestication traits, including vernalization-responsiveness, providing frost tolerance and preventing winter flowering in autumn-sowing agriculture, and vernalization-independence, conferring drought escape by rapid flowering in spring-sowing. A recent genome-wide association study highlighted several loci significantly associated with the most contrasting phenotypes, including deletions in the promoter of the FLOWERING LOCUS T homolog, LalbFTc1, and some DArT-seq/silicoDArT loci.

Plant In Vitro Cultures of (L.) Benth. "Electric Lime" and Possibilities of Modification in the Biosynthesis of Volatile Compounds.

(L.) Benth. is a globally spread species, known for its characteristic spectacularly colorful leaves of decorative value.

The influence of cultivation conditions on the formation of psychoactive salvinorin A, salvinorin B, rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid in Coleus scutellarioides.

Coleus scutellarioides (L.) Benh. is a popular species in the world, known for its characteristic magnificent colourful leaves.

Cladophora glomerata extracts produced by Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction support early growth and development of lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.).

The effect of the extract obtained by Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) from green macroalga Cladophora glomerata on the germination and early growth of three narrow-leaved lupin varieties (cv. Homer, Jowisz, and Tytan) was examined. The seeds of these varieties came from five growing seasons (2015-2019) and this was their successive propagation stage.

Chemistry behind Quality-Emission of Volatile Enantiomers from spp. Plant Tissue in Relationship to Odor Sensory Quality.

The quality of food, considering increasing consumer demands and competition among producers, is a highly important issue. Quality concerns are also applicable to the odor quality of herbs and spices (HSs). Meanwhile, HSs commonly are graded based on their essential oils (EOs) content and analysis; but does the instrumental analysis really provide general information about the HSs sensory quality? Three chemotypes of spp.

The Potential Use of Plant Growth Regulators for Modification of the Industrially Valuable Volatile Compounds Synthesis in Stems.

The pitaya (dragon fruit) is a genus which belongs to the Cactaceae family. It is native to Mexico, occurring also in other regions of Central and South America. Pitaya fruit is mainly intended for consumption and for this reason the species is grown commercially.

Genotoxic Evaluation of FeO Nanoparticles in Different Three Barley ( L.) Genotypes to Explore the Stress-Resistant Molecules.

Sustainable agricultural practices are still essential due to soil degradation and crop losses. Recently, the relationship between plants and nanoparticles (NPs) attracted scientists' attention, especially for applications in agricultural production as nanonutrition. Therefore, the present research was carried out to investigate the effect of FeO NPs at low concentrations (0, 1, 10, and 20 mg/L) on three genotypes of barley ( L.

(Alph.Wood) Alph.Wood Microcuttings as a Source of Volatiles Potentially Responsible for Insects' Respond.

Rare carnivorous plants representing the genus are perceived as very interesting to scientists involved in various fields of botany, ethnobotany, entomology, phytochemistry and others. Such high interest is caused mainly by the unique capacity of spp. to attract insects.

Quantitative Control of Early Flowering in White Lupin ( L.).

White lupin ( L.) is a pulse annual plant cultivated from the tropics to temperate regions for its high-protein grain as well as a cover crop or green manure. Wild populations are typically late flowering and have high vernalization requirements.

Photoperiod and Vernalization Control of Flowering-Related Genes: A Case Study of the Narrow-Leafed Lupin ( L.).

Narrow-leafed lupin ( L.) is a moderate-yielding legume crop known for its high grain protein content and contribution to soil improvement. It is cultivated under photoperiods ranging from 9 to 17 h, as a spring-sown (in colder locations) or as an autumn-sown crop (in warmer regions).

L. Micropropagation and the Potential Influence of Plant Growth Regulators on Volatile Organic Compound Composition.

Due to the industrial use of L. (peppermint), it is important to develop an optimal method to obtain standardized plant material with specific quality parameters. In vitro cultures may allow the production of desirable odor-active compounds (OACs) and improve their share in the plant aroma profile.

Plant-Mediated Enantioselective Transformation of Indan-1-one and Indan-1-ol. Part 2.

The main purpose of this publication was to obtain the -enantiomer of indan-1-ol with high enantiomeric excess and satisfactory yield. In our research, we used carrot callus cultures ( L.), whereby the enzymatic system reduced indan-1-one and oxidized indan-1-ol.

Diversity of selected Lupinus angustifolius L. genotypes at the phenotypic and DNA level with respect to microscopic seed coat structure and thickness.

The paper investigates seed coat characteristics (as a percentage of overall seed diameter) in Lupinus angustifolius L., a potential forage crop. In the study ten L.

Application of DNA markers linked to the potato H1 gene conferring resistance to pathotype Ro1 of Globodera rostochiensis.

Ninety-one potato genotypes (cultivars and breeding lines) selected as resistant or susceptible to pathotype Ro1 of Globodera rostochiensis were screened for the presence of two PCR markers, 0.14 and 0.76 kb in length.
