Although the strigolactone (SL) signaling pathway and SL-mediated anthocyanin biosynthesis have been reported, the molecular association between SL signaling and anthocyanin biosynthesis remains unclear. In this study, we identified the SL signal transduction pathway associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis and the crosstalk between gibberellin (GA) and SL signaling in apple (Malus × domestica). ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5) acts as a key node integrating SL signaling and anthocyanin biosynthesis, and the SL-response factor AGAMOUS-LIKE MADS-BOX9 (AGL9) promotes anthocyanin biosynthesis by activating HY5 transcription. The SL signaling repressor SUPPRESSOR OF MAX2 1-LIKE8 (SMXL8) interacts with AGL9 to form a complex that inhibits anthocyanin biosynthesis by downregulating HY5 expression. Moreover, the E3 ubiquitin ligase PROTEOLYSIS1 (PRT1) mediates the ubiquitination-mediated degradation of SMXL8, which is a key part of the SL signal transduction pathway associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis. In addition, the GA signaling repressor REPRESSOR-of-ga1-3-LIKE2a (RGL2a) mediates the crosstalk between GA and SL by disrupting the SMXL8-AGL9 interaction that represses HY5 transcription. Taken together, our study reveals the regulatory mechanism of SL-mediated anthocyanin biosynthesis and uncovers the role of SL-GA crosstalk in regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in apple.

Postharvest deterioration in table grapes, driven by fungal pathogens and oxidative damage, remains a critical concern. This study evaluated the synergistic potential of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) and Metschnikowia pulcherrima (Y) in preserving the quality of Red Globe grapes. The combined treatment of EBR and Y (YBR) significantly enhanced phenolic biosynthesis, elevating flavonoids and anthocyanin by 27.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L) is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including punicalagin, ellagic acid, anthocyanins, and urolithins, which contribute to its broad pharmacological potential. This review summarizes evidence from in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as clinical studies, highlighting pomegranate's therapeutic effects in inflammation, metabolic disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, microbial infections, and skin conditions. Mechanistic insights show modulation of pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).

Tea is consumed worldwide, and it is highly appreciated by consumers as a functional, healthy, and natural drink. The objectives of this research were to evaluate (1) the storage stability and (2) the consumption effect on biomarkers of oxidative stress of an antioxidant tea prepared from purple corn cob and stevia (AOxTea). The AOxTea bags were subjected to storage environments of 75 or 85 % of relative humidity at 30, 40 and 50 °C for up to 19 days.

Anthocyanins (AC) are natural bioactive substances with the excellent antioxidant properties, but its structure is susceptible to the external environmental factors with inevitably decreased bioavailability. In this work, γ-cyclodextrin based metal-organic framework (CD-MOF) shows high encapsulation efficiency (96.09 %) and satisfiable loading amount (24.

Fruit drop, cracking, and advanced ripening prior to fruit harvest can promote significant losses in important apple cultivars such as 'Ambrosia' and 'Fuji' grown in the mid-Atlantic. These losses result from environmental factors, delays in harvest due to the lack of red skin color development, and cultivar-specific characteristics, among others. Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) are ethylene-inhibiting plant growth regulators (PGRs) that can alter preharvest fruit drop, cracking, maturity, and quality by impeding ethylene biosynthesis and perception, respectively.
