Article Abstract

L. is a halophyte that grows in salt marshes and muddy seashores, which is widely used both as traditional medicine and as an edible vegetable. This salt-tolerant plant is a source of diverse secondary metabolites with several therapeutic properties, including antioxidant, antidiabetic, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity effects. Therefore, this review summarizes the chemical structure and biological activities of secondary metabolites isolated from L.

Dynamic actin filament remodeling is crucial for a plethora of fundamental cell biological processes, ranging from cell division and migration to cell communication, intracellular trafficking, or tissue development. Cytochalasin B (CB) and D (CD) are fungal secondary metabolites frequently used for interference with such processes. Although they are generally assumed to block actin filament polymerization at their rapidly growing barbed ends and compete with regulators at these sites, precise molecular understanding of their effects in dynamic actin structures requires further study.

Abandoned mines have created extensive idle areas contaminated with heavy metals (HMs). Conventional remediation methods are often costly, environmentally disruptive, and pose risks to human health. As a sustainable alternative, a biological approach utilizing metal-tolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria (mPGPBs) was employed to remediate HM-contaminated soils and assess their biological safety.

The Fabaceae-specific review highlights the structural, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of UGTs, revealing clade-specific glycosylation mechanisms and novel sugar conjugations that contribute to legume adaptability. These insights offer promising avenues for metabolic engineering and stress-resilient crop development. UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) are the biocatalysts modifying small molecules through glycosylation to enhance their solubility, stability, and bioactivity.

Tofu from six different landraces of chilean common beans (Araucano, Cimarrón, Magnum, Peumo, Sapito, and Tortola) was prepared and analyzed for proximate and lipid composition, antioxidant capacity, and phenolic content. Tofu has higher protein and lipid content, lower carbohydrate and phenolic content, and shows antioxidant capacity. The highest total protein was found for tofu prepared from Cimarrón and Sapito beans.
