Article Abstract
For the first time, the volatiles of three varieties of fresh and roasted Torreya yunnanensis nuts were investigated by solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results indicated that roasting had the greatest effect on the volatiles of millet capsules. Fresh nuts had many terpenes, esters, and aldehydes, while roasting led to the formation of pyrazines and furans. In subsequent work, short-term low temperature and small sample area exposed to high temperature had a large effect on the increase in some volatiles and was characterized by a green flavor, such as α-pinene, while ultrahigh-temperature (200 and 230°C) resulted in a decrease in the total volatiles with the generation of unpleasant flavors. Finally, the combination of 170°C for 40 min and slight crushing was found to be the best roasting conditions for samples by means of GC-MS and two-dimensional gas chromatography and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC/TOF-MS). PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Torreya yunnanensis and its nuts have broad development prospects because of their wide use and rich nutrition. However, inappropriate processing and lack of attention to natural materials such as nuts and wood leads to their poor usage. In addition, volatile compounds make a major contribution to the nut aroma, which is an important indicator of their sensory quality. However, no one has applied roasting technology to Torreya yunnanensis nuts or studied the volatile compounds of the roasted nuts. This study revealed the changes in the composition and content of volatile compounds in Torreya yunnanensis nuts before and after roasting, and the influence of different process points, suggesting that they are key contributors to the development of the related products.

Background: The NAC transcription factor family represents a large group of plant-specific genes involved in various biological processes, including secondary metabolite biosynthesis, responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, and hormone signaling. Taxus yunnanensis, a well-known medicinal plant, is the natural source of the anticancer diterpene paclitaxel. Despite the biological importance of NAC transcription factors, no comprehensive genome-wide study of the NAC gene family has been conducted in T.

Background: The Tibetan wooden bowls are common utensils and feature obvious Tibetan cultural traits. However, research on Tibetan wooden bowls is limited, especially the ethnobotanical study related to wooden bowl production. This study will explore the traditional knowledge related to the use of plants in the production of Tibetan wooden bowls as well as the cultural connotations and social significance of these bowls in Benzilan Town through an ethnobotanical investigation.

Background: The Hengduan Mountains (HDM) are one of the major global biodiversity hotspots in the world. Several evolutionary scenarios, especially in-situ diversification, have been proposed to account for the high species richness of temperate plants. However, peripatric speciation, an important mode of allopatric speciation, has seldom been reported in this region.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the effects of cold storage on the nutrient diversity and quality of Torreya yunnanensis seeds using UPLC-MS/MS metabolomics.
- A total of 373 metabolites were categorized into nine groups, with 49 showing significant changes after three months, impacting 28 metabolic pathways.
- Key findings included an increase in amino acid-related metabolites and a decrease in sugar-related metabolites, highlighting the importance of specific compounds during seed storage for conservation and restoration efforts.
