EjBZR1 represses fruit enlargement by binding to the EjCYP90 promoter in loquat
In this study, we first discovered that cell size is more important to fruit size than cell number in loquat and that the expression of the EjBZR1 gene is negatively correlated with cell and fruit size. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) of EjBZR1 led to larger cells and fruits in loquat, while its overexpression reduced cell and plant size in Arabidopsis. Moreover, both the suppression and overexpression of EjBZR1 inhibited the expression of brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthesis genes, especially that of EjCYP90A. Further experiments indicated that EjCYP90A, a cytochrome P450 gene, is a fruit growth activator, while EjBZR1 b...

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Eriobotrya japonica extract: a promising approach against cancer cells proliferation, inflammation, allergic disorders and phagocytosis induction.
Authors: Jabir MS, Hussien AA, Sulaiman GM, Yaseen NY, Dewir YH, Alwahibi MS, Soliman DA, Rizwana H
Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have biological activities like antibacterial, antifungal, drug delivery, immunomodulation and antitumor activities. The aim of the current study was to investigate some of biomedical applications of silver NP synthesis using extracts from leaves of Eriobotrya japonica. Colour changes, UV-visible spectroscopy, SEM, zeta potential, dynamic light scattering, FTIR and XRD were used to confirm AgNPs formation. The UV-vis spectrum absorption band was observed at almost 430 nm. The S...

In vitro simulated digestion and fecal fermentation of polysaccharides from loquat leaves: Dynamic changes in physicochemical properties and impacts on human gut microbiota.
Abstract
The aim of this study was to well understand the dynamic changes of physicochemical properties of polysaccharides from loquat leaves (LLP) during in vitro simulated saliva-gastrointestinal digestion and fecal fermentation and its related impacts on human gut microbiota. Results showed that the contents of reducing sugar of LLP slightly increased during the gastrointestinal digestion, and its molecular weight also slightly decreased, suggesting that LLP could be slightly degraded under the gastrointestinal digestion conditions. Moreover, during the fecal fermentation, the molecular weight of the in...

Eriobotrya japonica leaf triterpenoid acids ameliorate metabolic syndrome in C57BL/6J mice fed with high-fat diet.
CONCLUSIONS: ELTA can effectively alleviate visceral central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, and inflammation of HFD-induced MetS in C57BL/6 J mice. This is possibly achieved by acting on 11βHSD-1, GK, PPAR-γ, and JNK.
