Human intestinal enteroids and predictive models validate the operational limits of sanitizers used for viral disinfection of vegetable process wash water
This study aimed to explore the disinfection efficacy of chlorine (free chlorine, FC), chlorine dioxide (ClO2) and peracetic acid (PAA) in PWW against infectious human norovirus and Tulane virus (TV). First, we tested the extent of TV inactivation in baby leaf, bell pepper, and vegetables mix PWW and monitored the viral decay by cell culture. Then, inactivation kinetics were defined for infectious human norovirus exposed to FC, ClO2 and PAA in baby leaves PWW using the human intestinal enteroids (HIE) system. Finally, kinetic inactivation models were fitted to TV reduction and decay of sanitizers to aid the implementation ...

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 152: Characteristics and Comparative Analysis of the Special-Structure (Non-Single-Circle) Mitochondrial Genome of Capsicum pubescens Ruiz & amp; Pav
In this study, we assembled and annotated the complete mt genome of C. pubescens. We investigated several aspects of its genome, including characteristics, codon usage, RNA editing sites, repeat sequences, selective pressure, gene clusters, and phylogenetic relationships. Furthermore, we compared it with other plant mt genomes. The data we obtained will provide valuable information for studying evolutionary processes in the Capsicum genus and will assist in the functional analysis of Capsicum mitogenomes. (Source: Genes)

Pharmacological activity of capsaicin: Mechanisms and controversies (Review)
Mol Med Rep. 2024 Mar;29(3):38. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2024.13162. Epub 2024 Jan 19.ABSTRACTCapsaicin, which is abundant in chili peppers, exerts antioxidative, antitumor, antiulcer and analgesic effects and it has demonstrated potential as a treatment for cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, oncological and dermatological conditions. Unique among natural irritants, capsaicin initially excites neurons but then 'calms' them into long‑lasting non‑responsiveness. Capsaicin can also promote weight loss, making it potentially useful for treating obesity. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the therapeutic effects of cap...

Characterization and evaluation of Bacillus subtilis GYUN-2311 as a biocontrol agent against Colletotrichum spp. on apple and hot pepper in Korea
Crop plants are vulnerable to a variety of diseases, including anthracnose, caused by various species of Colletotrichum fungi that damages major crops, including apples and hot peppers. The use of chemical fungicides for pathogen control may lead to environmental pollution and disease resistance. Therefore, we conducted this research to develop a Bacillus subtilis-based biological control agent (BCA). B. subtilis GYUN-2311 (GYUN-2311), isolated from the rhizosphere soil of an apple orchard, exhibited antagonistic activity against a total of 12 fungal pathogens, including eight Colletotrichum species. The volatile organic c...

Therapeutic Potential of Capsaicin in various Neurodegenerative Diseases with Special Focus on Nrf2 Signaling
Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 2024 Jan 1. doi: 10.2174/0113892010277933231122111244. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeurodegenerative disease is mainly characterized by the accumulation of misfolded proteins, contributing to mitochondrial impairments, increased production of proinflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species, and neuroinflammation resulting in synaptic loss and neuronal loss. These pathophysiological factors are a serious concern in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Based on the symptoms of various neurodegenerative diseases, different treatments are available, but they have serious side effects and ...

Involvement of oxidative stress in localization of bacterial spot infection in pepper plants
J Biosci. 2024;49:2.ABSTRACTXanthomonas euvesicatoria is a major cause of bacterial spot disease in various crops. The present study was focused on the pathosystem pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) - X. euvesicatoria 269p (wild strain). The infectious process was studied using several different modes of in vivo inoculation under controlled conditions. The spread of the pathogen in different parts of the plants was monitored by a new qPCR procedure developed for the detection of X. euvesicatoria, as well as by re-isolation of viable bacterial cells. Photosynthesis, the number of viable pathogens, oxidative stress markers, activit...

Direct Application of Coffee Pulp Vermicompost Produced from Epigeic Earthworms and Its Residual Effect on Vegetative and Reproductive Growth of Hot Pepper ( < em > Capsicum annuum < /em > L.)
ScientificWorldJournal. 2023 Dec 19;2023:7366925. doi: 10.1155/2023/7366925. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTIn areas where coffee is growing, there is a huge potential to get coffee pulp, which produces a bad odor and air and water pollution. On the other hand, the farming practice in the study area is still traditional and highly dependent on artificial fertilizers. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the direct and residual effects of vermicompost on the vegetative and reproductive growth of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Factorial research was conducted in a randomized complete block design, where coffee pulp, animal wa...
