Article Abstract

Fragrance is an important characteristic of rose flowers and is largely determined by the terpenes. Rose has a unique NUDX1 (NUDIX HYDROLASES 1)-dependent monoterpene geraniol biosynthesis pathway, but little is known about its transcriptional regulation. In this study, we characterized two China rose () materials from the 'Old Blush' variety with contrasting aromas. We profiled the volatile metabolome of both materials, and the results revealed that geraniol was the main component that distinguishes the aroma of these two materials. We performed a comparative transcriptome analysis of the two rose materials, from which we identified the hydrolase RcNUDX1 as a key factor affecting geraniol content, as well as 17 transcription factor genes co-expressed with . We also determined that the transcription factor RcWRKY70 binds to four W-box motifs in the promoter of , repressing expression, based on yeast one-hybrid and transient dual-luciferase assays. These results provide important information concerning the transcriptional regulatory framework underlying the control of geraniol production in rose.

Pelargonium graveolens, valued for its essential oil, is significantly influenced by its endosymbiotic associations impacting its physiology and phytochemistry, though the exact mechanisms driving this modulation remain largely unexplored. This study unveils that inoculating Pseudomonas oryzihabitans CB24 into P. graveolens significantly alters plant's lipid dynamics, leading to increased accumulation of chloroplast glycerolipids like monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and sulfolipids, sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG).

The majority of aroma precursors in grapes exist as odorless glycosidic conjugates, which can be hydrolyzed by -glucosidase to release free volatile aroma compounds, thereby enhancing the aromatic quality of wine. This study aimed to screen and characterize indigenous non- strains with -glucosidase activity for their potential to enhance terpenoid aroma compounds during wine fermentation. Grapes collected from 14 vineyard plots in the Penglai Wine Region (China) underwent spontaneous fermentation and yielded 203 single colonies.

Geraniol is a monoterpene alcohol with a rose-like aroma, used in food and cosmetics and for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and insect-repellent properties. Geraniol is commonly chemically synthesized from petroleum-based sources in a highly energy-demanding process with a large carbon footprint. Alternatively, geraniol can be derived from plant-based essential oils but with relatively low yields and limitations from seasonal cultivation.

Citronellal and citronellol are monoterpenoids that serve as key ingredients in the flavor and fragrance industry and hold significant potential for pharmaceutical applications. Currently, these compounds are primarily obtained through chemical synthesis or extraction from plant essential oils. However, these methods raise concerns regarding environmental sustainability, carbon emissions, and the growing attentions for natural production.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the preventive effects of geraniol on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by a high fat diet (HFD) in a rat model, focusing on its impact on lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation.

Methods: NAFLD was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by feeding them a HFD for 10 weeks. Geraniol was administered orally at doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg.
