Carotenoid pattern intake and relation to metabolic status, risk and syndrome, and its components - divergent findings from the ORISCAV-LUX-2 survey
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 19:1-37. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000758. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCarotenoids are generally associated with health-beneficial effects; however, their intake patterns related to metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components remains controversial. This cross-sectional study investigated associations between dietary intakes of individual carotenoids, fruits and vegetables, and the MetS and its components. Dietary intakes of 1346 participants of the ORISCAV-LUX-2 study were investigated by a 174 item-food frequency questionnaire, and carotenoid intake was determined by linking findings using mainly the ...

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 499: Proteomic Analysis of Lysine Acetylation and Succinylation to Investigate the Pathogenicity of Virulent Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 and Avirulent Line Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 avrRpm1 on Arabidopsis thaliana
In conclusion, this study provides an insightful profile of the lysine acetylome and succinylome in A. thaliana infected with virulent and avirulent lines of Pst DC3000. Our findings revealed the potential impact of these post-translational modifications (PTMs) on the physiological functions of the host plant during pathogen infection. This study offers valuable insights into the complex interactions between plant pathogens and their hosts, laying the groundwork for future research on disease resistance and pathogenesis mechanisms.

Xiaohuan Guo
The maturity of fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes significantly impacts indicators of their quality, such as taste, nutritional value, and shelf life, making maturity determination vital in agricultural production and the food processing industry. Tomatoes mature from the inside out, leading to an uneven ripening process inside and outside, and these situations make it very challenging to judge their maturity with the help of a single modality. In this paper, we propose a deep learning-assisted multimodal data fusion technique combining color imaging, spectroscopy, and haptic sensing for the matu...

A stable and flexible Au@Ag NPs/PVA SERS platform for thiram residue detection on rough surface
Talanta. 2024 Mar 27;274:126008. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFlexible and transparent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates have gained great attention in analysis field as they offer a fast, non-destructive, and highly sensitive platform for in-situ detection. In this work, we present a facile one-pot strategy for synthesizing gold-cored silver shell nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) in the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) colloid. With no other reducing agents, PVA can serve as both reducing and stabilizing agents for forming Au@Ag NPs. Besides, PVA acts as a scaffold to maintain SERS "...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2426: Evaluation of Color and Pigment Changes in Tomato after 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) Treatment
Géza Hitka
The Polar Qualification System (PQS) was applied on hue spectra fingerprinting to describe color changes in tomato during storage. The cultivar ‘Pitenza’ was harvested at six different maturity stages, and half of the samples were subjected to gaseous 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment. Reference color parameters were recorded with a vision system colorimeter instrument, and the fruit pigment concentration was assessed with the DA-index®. Additionally, acoustic firmness (Stiffness) was measured. All acquired reference parameters were used to grade fruit in the su...

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 587: Begomovirus Transmission to Tomato Plants Is Not Hampered by Plant Defenses Induced by Dicyphus hesperus Knight
This study focused on tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), a plant virus of the family Geminiviridae and genus Begomovirus. It is transmitted in a persistent circulative manner by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), posing a global threat to tomato production. Mirids (Hemiptera: Miridae) are effective biological control agents of B. tabaci, but there is a possibility that their omnivorous nature could also interfere with the process of virus transmission. To test this hypothesis, this study first addressed to what extent the mirid bug Dicyphus hesperus Knight induces plant defenses in tomato. ...

Use of Interfacial Interactions and Complexation of Carbon Dots to Construct Ultra ‐Robust and Efficient Photothermal Film From Micro‐Carbonized Polysaccharides
Solar energy conversion technologies, especially solar-driven photothermal conversion, are both clean and controllable. Carbonization of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) produce just such a structure (termed CMC-g-CDs), which is used to produce an ultra-stable, robust, and efficient solar-thermal film by interfacial interactions within the CMC-g-CDs. Carbonization and complexation with Fe3+ increased the photothermal temperature and photothermal conversion efficiency by 47.95%. As a demonstration of a real-world application, the CMC-g-CDs-Fe film is used to construct a solar-driven TEG. AbstractSolar energy conversion ...
