SNP-based high-density linkage map construction and QTL mapping of black spot disease resistance in Chinese sand pear
This study aimed to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with PBS resistance trait in pear and determine closely linked molecular markers by specific locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq). F1 population resulting from a cross between "Deshengxiang" (female) and "Guiguan," a susceptible (male) variety, was developed and evaluated in 2016 and 2017. SLAF technology was used to discover SNPs in the F1 individuals and subsequently a high-density genetic linkage map for PBS resistance was constructed which contained 17,604 SNP markers. Based on the linkage map, the markers were distributed into 17 linkage gro...

Microbiota modulation and anti-obesity effects of fermented Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim extract against high-fat diet-induced obesity in rats
In this study, we evaluated the anti-obesity potential of Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim extracts (PUE) and investigated the underlying mechanisms using a combination of in vitro, in vivo, and microbiota regulation approaches. In an adipogenesis assay, the fermented (F)PUE and non-fermented (NF)PUE significantly reduced the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocyte in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 85.33 and 96.67 µg/mL, respectively. In a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rat model (n = 8 animals/group), oral administration of FPUE additionally reduced the total body weight gain significantly. No difference in food intake...

Prospects of ultrasonically extracted food bioactives in the field of non-invasive biomedical applications - A review
Ultrason Sonochem. 2022 Aug 12;89:106121. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.106121. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFoods incorporated with bioactive compounds, called nutraceuticals, can fight or prevent or alleviate diseases. The contribution of nutraceuticals or phytochemicals to non-invasive biomedical applications is increasing. Although there are many traditional methods for extracting bioactive compounds or secondary metabolites, these processes come with many disadvantages like lower yield, longer process time, high energy consumption, more usage of solvent, yielding low active principles with low efficacy against disease...

Characterization of Bacillus velezensis E2 with abilities to degrade ochratoxin A and biocontrol against Aspergillus westerdijkiae fc-1
In this study, B. velezensis E2 was investigated for its ability to remove OTA and biocontrol against the ochratoxigenic Aspergillus westerdijkiae fc-1. The results revealed that B. velezensis E2 has considerable inhibitory effect on A. westerdijkiae fc-1 both on PDA medium and pear fruits, with inhibitory rate of 51.4% and 73.9%, respectively. In addition, its ability to remove OTA was evaluated in liquid medium and the results showed that more than 92% of OTA with an initial concentration of 2.5 μg/mL could be removed by B. velezensis E2 in 48 h. Further experiments revealed that enzymatic transformation and alkaline hy...

The necrosis-inducing protein (NIP) gene contributes to Penicillium expansum virulence during postharvest pear infection
Food Res Int. 2022 Aug;158:111562. doi: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.111562. Epub 2022 Jun 24.ABSTRACTPenicillium expansum is the causative fungus of blue mold decay in postharvest pears resulting in substantial economic losses. Investigating P. expansum-pear fruit interactions is necessary to help develop P. expansum control strategies for effective and safe pear production. Investigating the P. expansum gene expression alterations and essential gene functions during the infection process is indispensable. Based on our results, the necrosis-inducing protein (NIP) gene was closely associated with genes related to plant cell wall...
