Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 4685: Chemical and Biological Characterization of Green and Processed Coffee Beans from Coffea arabica Varieties
Nicasio-Torres
Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world; its production is based mainly on varieties of the Coffea arabica species. Mexico stands out for its specialty and organic coffee. In Guerrero, the production is done by small indigenous community cooperatives that market their product as raw material. Official Mexico Standards stipulate the requirements for its commercialization within the national territory. In this work, the physical, chemical, and biological characterizations of green, medium, and dark roasted beans from C. arabica varieties were carried out. Analysis by HPLC showed higher c...

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1347: Grapevine Endophyte Endornavirus and Two New Endornaviruses Found Associated with Grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) in Idaho, USA
Karasev
Five virus genomes, ranging between 12.0 and 12.3 kb in length and identified as endornaviruses, were discovered through a high-throughput sequencing (HTS) analysis of the total RNA samples extracted from two wine grape cultivars collected in the state of Idaho. One was found in a declining Chardonnay vine and was determined to be a local isolate of grapevine endophyte endornavirus (GEEV), and four others represented two novel endornaviruses named grapevine endornavirus 1 (GEV1) and grapevine endornavirus 2 (GEV2). All three virus genomes span a large, single open reading frame encoding polyproteins with easily...

Effects of chemical inhibition of histone deacetylase proteins in the growth and virulence of Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid
Rev Argent Microbiol. 2023 Jun 7:S0325-7541(23)00030-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ram.2023.04.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChromatin remodeling enzymes are important "writers", "readers" and "erasers" of the epigenetic code. These proteins are responsible for the placement, recognition, and removal of molecular marks in histone tails that trigger structural and functional changes in chromatin. This is also the case for histone deacetylases (HDACs), i.e., enzymes that remove acetyl groups from histone tails, signaling heterochromatin formation. Chromatin remodeling is necessary for cell differentiation processes in eukaryotes, a...

Recombinant Phaseolus vulgaris phytohemagglutinin L-form expressed in the Bacillus brevis exerts in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor activity through potentiation of apoptosis and immunomodulation
In this report active recombinant PHA-L protein was successfully prepared by Bacillus brevius expression system, and the antitumor and immunomodulatory activities of recombinant PHA-L were characterized by in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results showed that recombinant PHA-L protein had stronger antitumor effect, and its anti-tumor mechanism was realized through direct cytotoxicity and immune regulation. Importantly, compared with natural PHA-L, the recombinant PHA-L protein showed the lower erythrocyte agglutination toxicity in vitro and immunogenicity in mice. Altogether, our study provides a new strategy and impor...

A novel study on bean common mosaic virus accumulation shows disease resistance at the initial stage of infection in Phaseolus vulgaris
Accurate and early diagnosis of bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) in Phaseolus vulgaris tissues is critical since the pathogen can spread easily and have long-term detrimental effects on bean production. The use of resistant varieties is a key factor in the management activities of BCMV. The study reported here describes the development and application of a novel SYBR Green-based quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay targeting the coat protein gene to determine the host sensitivity to the specific NL-4 strain of BCMV. The technique showed high specificity, validated by melting curve analysis, without cross-reaction. Fur...
