RESUMO
Sinojackia Hu represents the first woody genus described by Chinese botanists, with all species classified as endangered ornamental plants endemic to China. Their characteristic spindle-shaped fruits confer high ornamental value to the plants, making them favored in gardens and parks. Nevertheless, the fruits likely pose a germination obstacle, contributing to the endangered status of this lineage. Here we report the chromosome-scale genome of S. xylocarpa, and explore the mechanisms underlying its endangered status, as well as its population dynamics throughout evolution. Population genomic analysis has indicated that S. xylocarpa experienced a bottleneck effect following the recent glacial period, leading to a continuous population reduction. Examination of the pericarp composition across six stages of fruit development revealed a consistent increase in the accumulation of lignin and fiber content, responsible for the sturdiness of mature fruits' pericarps. At molecular level, enhanced gene expression in the biosynthesis of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose was detected in pericarps. Therefore, we conclude that the highly lignified and fibrotic pericarps of S. xylocarpa, which inhibit its seed germination, should be its threatening mechanism, thus proposing corresponding strategies for improved conservation and restoration. This study serves as a seminal contribution to conservation biology, offering valuable insights for the study of other endangered ornamental plants.
RESUMO
The impacts of enzymatically produced acylglycerol and glycerin monostearate on the characteristics of gelatin-stabilized omega-3 emulsions and microcapsules were investigated. Tuna oil was enzymatically produced and the resulting acylglycerol was mixed with tuna oil at 12.5% (w/w) to prepare a novel oil phase. This oil phase was stabilized by gelatin to prepare oil-in-water emulsions and subsequent microcapsules via complex coacervation. The tuna oil with glycerin monostearate (GMS) at 1 and 2% (w/w) were used as controls. Results showed that both acylglycerol and GMS significantly reduced the emulsion droplet size and zeta potential, while increasing the viscoelasticity and stability. The diacylglycerol/monoacylglycerol were involved in the oil/water interfacial layer formation by lowering interfacial tension and increasing droplet surface hydrophobicity. Overall, the changed emulsion properties promoted the complex coacervation and contributed to the formation of microcapsules with improved oxidative stability. Therefore, enzymatically produced acylglycerol can develop high-quality stable omega-3 microencapsulated novel food ingredients.

The Phyllanthaceae family comprises a diverse range of plants with medicinal, edible, and ornamental value, extensively cultivated worldwide. Polyploid species commonly occur in Phyllanthaceae. Due to the rather complex genomes and evolutionary histories, their speciation process has been still lacking in research. In this study, we generated chromosome-scale haplotype-resolved genomes of two octoploid species (Phyllanthus emblica and Sauropus spatulifolius) in Phyllanthaceae family. Combined with our previously reported one tetraploid (Sauropus androgynus) and one diploid species (Phyllanthus cochinchinensis) from the same family, we explored their speciation history. The three polyploid species were all identified as allopolyploids with subgenome A/B. Each of their two distinct subgenome groups from various species was uncovered to independently share a common diploid ancestor (Ancestor-AA and Ancestor-BB). Via different evolutionary routes, comprising various scenarios of bifurcating divergence, allopolyploidization (hybrid polyploidization), and autopolyploidization, they finally evolved to the current tetraploid S. androgynus, and octoploid S. spatulifolius and P. emblica, respectively. We further discuss the variations in copy number of alleles and the potential impacts within the two octoploids. In addition, we also investigated the fluctuation of metabolites with medical values and identified the key factor in its biosynthesis process in octoploids species. Our study reconstructed the evolutionary history of these Phyllanthaceae species, highlighting the critical roles of polyploidization and hybridization in their speciation processes. The high-quality genomes of the two octoploid species provide valuable genomic resources for further research of evolution and functional genomics.

Hydrolyzable tannins (HTs), predominant polyphenols in oaks, are widely used in grape wine aging, feed additives, and human healthcare. However, the limited availability of a high-quality reference genome of oaks greatly hampered the recognition of the mechanism of HT biosynthesis. Here, high-quality reference genomes of three Asian oak species (Quercus variabilis, Quercus aliena, and Quercus dentata) that have different HT contents were generated. Multi-omics studies were carried out to identify key genes regulating HT biosynthesis. In vitro enzyme activity assay was also conducted. Dual-luciferase and yeast one-hybrid assays were used to reveal the transcriptional regulation. Our results revealed that ß-glucogallin was a biochemical marker for HT production in the cupules of the three Asian oaks. UGT84A13 was confirmed as the key enzyme for ß-glucogallin biosynthesis. The differential expression of UGT84A13, rather than enzyme activity, was the main reason for different ß-glucogallin and HT accumulation. Notably, sequence variations in UGT84A13 promoters led to different trans-activating activities of WRKY32/59, explaining the different expression patterns of UGT84A13 among the three species. Our findings provide three high-quality new reference genomes for oak trees and give new insights into different transcriptional regulation for understanding ß-glucogallin and HT biosynthesis in closely related oak species.

Parvalbumin (PV) is a major allergen in fish, and traditional treatments cannot reduce its sensitization. The effects of dense-phase carbon dioxide (DPCD) treatment on the sensitization and spatial structure of PV in Trachinotus ovatus were evaluated in this study. Western blotting and indirect ELISA were used to determine the allergenicity changes and spatial conformations of PV treated by DPCD. Tris-tricine-SDS-PAGE, circular dichroism, surface hydrophobicity, endogenous fluorescence, UV spectrophotometry, free amino group, total sulfhydryl group and SEM analyses were applied to characterize PV structure. The results showed that DPCD treatment (15 MPa, 30 min, 50 °C) could reduce PV-induced allergic reactions by 39-41 %, which destroyed the normal conformational epitopes and reduced the risk of PV-induced allergy. The secondary structure changed from ordered to disordered with a decreased content of α-helical groups, while the internal hydrophobic groups were exposed. The total sulfhydryl group content decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The surface hydrophobicity and ultraviolet absorption spectrum were enhanced, and the endogenous fluorescence peak shifted to a long wavelength. Meanwhile, the content of free amino groups increased significantly (P < 0.05). This study could provide a theoretical basis and a promising technical approach for reduction of PV allergenicities.

The impact of oxidized myoglobin (Mb) on myofibrillar protein (MP) oxidation and water retention was investigated. Results showed that the oxidation of Mb increased with increasing concentration of oxidized linoleic acid (OLA). In the presence of 100 mmol/L OLA, hemin iron decreased by 62.07 % compared to the control group. Further investigation showed that mild oxidation of Mb (≤10 mmol/L OLA) increased the water retention and the absolute value of the zeta potential of MP, whereas excessive oxidation (>10 mmol/L OLA) decreased these properties. With the increase of Mb oxidation, the carbonyl content in MP increased, and α-helices changed to random helix. And the tertiary structure changed. Pearson correlation analysis suggested that oxidized Mb affected the water retention of MP, which was closely related to hemin iron and non-hemin iron. In conclusion, OLA induced Mb oxidation, further promoted MP oxidation and affected its water retention.

In this study, golden pomfret myofibrillar protein (MP) was used as the research object, and the oxidation system of malondialdehyde (MDA) as an inducer and the static digestion model in vitro was established for the analysis of the changes in protein structure and molecular morphology during oxidation and digestion. Subsequently, the effects of MDA-mediated oxidation on the structure and digestive properties of golden pomfret myofibrillar fibrillar protein were determined. The results showed that the hydrolysis degree and digestion rate of MP were inhibited with the increase in MDA concentration (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 mmol/L), and the carbonyl group, surface hydrophobicity, irregular curling, and MDA content increased significantly (P < 0.05), whereas the total sulfhydryl groups, α-helices, free amino groups, hydrolysis degree, and MDA incorporation decreased significantly (P < 0.05), The molecular particle size was significantly reduced (P < 0.05), and the molecular morphology and molecular structure were analyzed (P >0.05). Finally, the molecular size and cross-linking degree gradually increased. In conclusion, MDA can alter the structure and morphology of proteins, resulting in a decrease in hydrolysis and digestion rate. This study can provide theoretical support and reference for the regulation of protein digestion.

The implications of different liquid nitrogen freezing (LNF) temperatures (-35 °C, -65 °C, -95 °C, and -125 °C) on the ice crystal and muscle quality of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) were investigated in this essay. The results showed that better muscle quality was maintained after LNF treatment compared to that after air blast freezing (AF) treatment. As the freezing temperature of liquid nitrogen decrease, the freezing speed accelerated, with the freezing speed of LNF at -125 °C being the fastest. However, an excessively fast freezing speed was not conducive to maintaining the quality of shrimp. Among all the freezing treatments, LNF at -95 °C led to the lowest thawing losses and cooking losses, and the highest L* values, indicating that LNF at -95 °C could keep the water holding capacity of frozen shrimp better than that with other freezing methods. At the same time, LNF at -95 °C resulted in higher water holding capacity, and hardness values for shrimps than those with other frozen treatments (p < 0.05). In addition, the results of the water distribution of shrimps showed that treatment with a -95 °C LNF reduced the migration rate of bound and free water. Meanwhile, the microstructural pores of shrimps in the -95 °C LNF group were smaller, indicating that the ice crystals generated during -95 °C LNF were relatively smaller than those generated via other frozen treatments. In conclusion, an appropriate LNF temperature (-95 °C) was beneficial for improving the quality of frozen shrimp, and avoiding freezing breakage.
RESUMO
The impact of treatment pressure, temperature and time of DPCD on the Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) surimi gel properties was studied and compared with the conventional heat treatment. The gel strength, crosslinking degree, and microstructure of shrimp surimi gels were investigated. Quantitative microstructural characteristics were investigated to elucidate the changes in microstructure during the formation of gel induced by DPCD. With increased DPCD treatment setting conditions, the gel strength and crosslinking degree of shrimp surimi gel significantly improved (P < 0.05) with similar variation trends. Quantitative microstructural analysis revealed that the fractal dimension (Df) and the pore equivalent diameter of gel microstructure increased with the increase of DPCD treatment conditions. The lacunarity decreased and then increased, whereas pore number increased and decreased. According to the microstructural characteristics results, the surimi gel with 51.48 % degree of crosslinking induced at 25 MPa, 50ËC, and 60 min showed the most complex and homogeneous microstructure with the highest (Df), smaller lacunarity, an average pore equivalent diameter, and a larger pore number. The correlation analysis demonstrated that the crosslinking degree was strongly positively correlated with the gel strength. The Df, pore equivalent diameter and number of pores significantly positively correlated with the crosslinking degree, whereas the lacunarity strongly negatively correlated with the crosslinking degree. The present study showed that the DPCD treatment with a crosslinking degree of 51.48 % is the most optimum condition for better gel formation. The study could provide a theoretical basis for processing shrimp surimi with improved gel properties.

Urban greening provides important ecosystem services and ideal places for urban recreation and is a serious consideration for municipal decision-makers. Among the tree species cultivated in urban green spaces, Robinia pseudoacacia stands out due to its attractive flowers, fragrances, high trunks, wide adaptability, and essential ecosystem services. However, the genomic basis and consequences of its wide-planting in urban green spaces remains unknown. Here, we report the chromosome-level genome assembly of R. pseudoacacia, revealing a genome size of 682.4 Mb and 33,187 protein-coding genes. More than 99.3% of the assembly is anchored to 11 chromosomes with an N50 of 59.9 Mb. Comparative genomic analyses among 17 species reveal that gene families related to traits favoured by urbanites, such as wood formation, biosynthesis, and drought tolerance, are notably expanded in R. pseudoacacia. Our population genomic analyses further recover 11 genes that are under recent selection. Ultimately, these genes play important roles in the biological processes related to flower development, water retention, and immunization. Altogether, our results reveal the evolutionary forces that shape R. pseudoacacia cultivated for urban greening. These findings also present a valuable foundation for the future development of agronomic traits and molecular breeding strategies for R. pseudoacacia.

Hybridization is widely recognized as promoting both species and phenotypic diversity. However, its role in mammalian evolution is rarely examined. We report historical hybridization among a group of snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus) that resulted in the origin of a hybrid species. The geographically isolated gray snub-nosed monkey Rhinopithecus brelichi shows a stable mixed genomic ancestry derived from the golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) and the ancestor of black-white (Rhinopithecus bieti) and black snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus strykeri). We further identified key genes derived from the parental lineages, respectively, that may have contributed to the mosaic coat coloration of R. brelichi, which likely promoted premating reproductive isolation of the hybrid from parental lineages. Our study highlights the underappreciated role of hybridization in generating species and phenotypic diversity in mammals.

Although species can arise through hybridization, compelling evidence for hybrid speciation has been reported only rarely in animals. Here, we present phylogenomic analyses on genomes from 12 macaque species and show that the fascicularis group originated from an ancient hybridization between the sinica and silenus groups ~3.45 to 3.56 million years ago. The X chromosomes and low-recombination regions exhibited equal contributions from each parental lineage, suggesting that they were less affected by subsequent backcrossing and hence could have played an important role in maintaining hybrid integrity. We identified many reproduction-associated genes that could have contributed to the development of the mixed sexual phenotypes characteristic of the fascicularis group. The phylogeny within the silenus group was also resolved, and functional experimentation confirmed that all extant Western silenus species are susceptible to HIV-1 infection. Our study provides novel insights into macaque evolution and reveals a hybrid speciation event that has occurred only very rarely in primates.

This research explored the effects of oxidative modification caused by different malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations on rabbit meat myofibrillar protein (MP) structural characteristics and the interactions between MDA and MP. The fluorescence intensity of MDA-MP adducts, and surface hydrophobicity increased, whereas the intrinsic fluorescence intensity and free-amine content of MPs decreased as MDA concentration and incubation time increased. The carbonyl content was 2.06 nmol/mg for native MPs, while the carbonyl contents increased to 5.17, 5.57, 7.01, 11.37, 13.78, and 23.24 nmol/mg for MP treated with 0.25 to 8 mM MDA, respectively. When the MP was treated with 0.25 mM MDA, the sulfhydryl content and the α-helix content decreased to 43.78 nmol/mg and 38.46%, while when MDA concentration increased to 8 mM, the contents for sulfhydryl and α-helix decreased to 25.70 nmol/mg and 15.32%. Furthermore, the denaturation temperature and ΔH decreased with the increase in MDA concentration, and the peaks disappeared when the MDA concentration reached 8 mM. Those results indicate MDA modification resulted in structural destruction, thermal stability reduction, and protein aggregation. Besides, the first-order kinetics and Stern-Volmer equation fitting results imply that the quenching mechanism of MP by MDA may be mainly driven by dynamic quenching.
RESUMO
Cold plasma (CP) is a non-thermal novel technology for the processing of heat-sensitive food products, but there is concern regarding its impact on food quality. Voltage is one of the most direct factors affecting the bacteriostatic effect of CP. Golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) was treated with CP at different voltages (10, 20, and 30 kV). The total viable count decreased as the CP voltage increased, reaching a maximum reduction of 1.54 lg CFU/g on golden pompano treated at 30 kV. No effects on water-holding capacity, pH, total volatile base nitrogen, and T2b relaxation time were observed, indicating that all CP treatments retained the freshness and bound water of the samples. However, as the CP voltage increased, peroxide value and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances of golden pompano gradually increased, the protein tertiary structure unfolded, and α-helices converted to ß-sheets, indicating inevitable lipid and protein oxidation caused by excessive CP voltage. Therefore, a suitable voltage of CP should be selected to inhibits the growth of microorganisms, which avoids deterioration of sea-foods quality.
RESUMO
The relationship between the gel quality of golden pompano surimi treated with dense phase carbon dioxide (DPCD) and changes in water characteristics was evaluated. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging were used to monitor changes in the water status of surimi gel under different treatment conditions. Whiteness, water-holding capacity and gel strength were used as the quality indicators of the surimi gel. The results showed that DPCD treatment could significantly increase the whiteness of surimi and the strength of the gel, while the water-holding capacity decreased significantly. LF-NMR analysis showed that, as the DPCD treatment intensity increased, the relaxation component T22 shifted to the right, T23 shifted to the left, the proportion of A22 decreased significantly (p < 0.05) and the proportion of A23 increased significantly (p < 0.05). A correlation analysis of water characteristics and gel strength showed that the water-holding capacity of surimi induced by DPCD was strongly positively correlated with gel strength, while A22 and T23 were strongly negatively correlated with gel strength. This study provides helpful insights into the quality control of DPCD in surimi processing and also provides an approach for the quality evaluation and detection of surimi products.
RESUMO
The present research aimed to assess the protective effects of purslane polyphenols on rabbit meat myofibrillar protein (MP) under malondialdehyde (MDA)-induced oxidation. The major polyphenols in purslane extract were analyzed by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS). To analyze the protective mechanism of purslane polyphenol monomers on MP in the oxidation system, we determined the retained MDA content in the suspension and analyzed the structure and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of MP. The UPLC-QTOF-MS identification analysis indicated that purslane polyphenols mainly contained chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, rutin, kaempferol, and quercetin. Polyphenols in purslane can prevent MDA from binding to MP effectively. Chlorogenic acid showed the best inhibitory effect, and the retention content of MDA decreased to 54.79%, which was significantly lower than those of other groups. Purslane polyphenols had protective effects on sulfhydryl groups, free amino groups, intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence, α-helix structure, and morphology of MP. Moreover, the carbonyl contents, increase in surface hydrophobicity, and random coil contents of MP were reduced. In addition, the NMR results indicated that polyphenols inhibited the oxidation of protein induced by MDA through competitive inhibition. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study showed the efficiency of purslane polyphenol monomers in protecting the structure and function of myofibrillar protein under malondialdehyde-induced oxidative stress and their potential to preserve the nutritional value of foods rich in proteins and lipids.

Establishing how lineages with similar traits are phylogenetically related remains critical for understanding the origin of biodiversity on Earth. Floral traits in plants are widely used to explore phylogenetic relationships and to delineate taxonomic groups. The subtribe Swertiinae (Gentianaceae) comprises more than 350 species with high floral diversity ranging from rotate to tubular corollas and possessing diverse nectaries. Here we performed phylogenetic analysis of 60 species from all 15 genera of the subtribe Swertiinae sensu Ho and Liu, representing the range of floral diversity, using data from the nuclear and plastid genomes. Extensive topological conflicts were present between the nuclear and plastome trees. Three of the 15 genera represented by multiple species are polyphyletic in both trees. Key floral traits including corolla type, absence or presence of lobe scales, nectary type, nectary position, and stigma type are randomly distributed in the nuclear and plastome trees without phylogenetic correlation. We also revealed the likely ancient hybrid origin of one large clade comprising 10 genera with diverse floral traits. These results highlight the complex evolutionary history of this subtribe. The phylogenies constructed here provide a basic framework for further exploring the ecological and genetic mechanisms underlying both species diversification and floral diversity.

Golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) and hybrid grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus × Epinephelus fuscoguttatus) has widely been distributed in China and Southeast Asian countries with great commercial importance. In this study, the nutritional profiles, chemical and physical parameters of back and abdomen muscles were determined. Significantly different (p < .05) proximate compositions were found in two fish muscles. The contents of water-soluble protein, salt-soluble protein, and non-nitrogenous protein were higher in the golden pompano while salt-insoluble proteins were higher in the hybrid grouper. The main minerals found were K (3700.56-4495.57 µg/g) followed by P > Na > Mg > and Ca, respectively. Fatty acids contents consisted of polyunsaturated fatty acids ranging from 29.40% to 43.09% and saturated fatty acids 28.33% to 39.61%. The muscles were rich in n-3 PUFAs with n-6/n-3 ratio of 1.36%-2.96% in the back and abdomen. On the other hand, total amino acid and non-essential amino acid contents were found higher in the hybrid grouper while essential amino acid and delicious amino acid contents were higher in the golden pompano. Glutamic acid was the most predominant amino acid. The amino acid scores (AAS) of six amino acids were close to 1.00, whereas lysine showed the highest AAS while tryptophan was the most limited essential amino acid in all muscles, respectively. These results indicated golden pompano and hybrid grouper exhibited a varied nutritional composition and offered a good nutritional profile.
RESUMO
Dimorphic flowers growing on a single individual plant play a critical role in extreme adaption and reproductive assurance in plants and have high ecological and evolutionary significance. However, the omics bases underlying such a differentiation and maintenance remain largely unknown. We aimed to investigate this through genomic, transcriptome and metabolomic analyses of dimorphic flowers in an alpine biennial, Sinoswertia tetraptera (Gentianaceae). A high-quality chromosome-level genome sequence (903 Mb) was first assembled for S. tetraptera with 31,359 protein-coding genes annotated. Two rounds of recent independent whole-genome duplication (WGD) were revealed. Numerous genes from the recent species-specific WGD were found to be differentially expressed in the two types of flowers, and this may have helped contribute to the origin of this innovative trait. The genes with contrasting expressions between flowers were related to biosynthesis of hormones, floral pigments (carotenoids and flavonoids) and iridoid compounds, which are involved in both flower development and colour. Metabolomic analyses similarly suggested differential concentrations of these chemicals in the two types of flowers. The expression interactions between multiple genes may together lead to contrasting morphology and chemical concentration and open versus closed pollination of the dimorphic flowers in this species for reproductive assurance.

Dense phase carbon dioxide (DPCD) is a new non-thermal method to induce surimi gel. However, the gel quality is affected by many factors, such as DPCD treatment time, temperature, and pressure, which makes it complicated to determine its operating parameters. Box-Behnken and backward linear regression were used to optimize the conditions (temperature, pressure, and treatment time) of DPCD-induced shrimp surimi gel formation, and a model between shrimp surimi gel strength and treatment conditions was developed and validated in the present study. Meanwhile, the heat-induced method was used as a control to analyze the effect of DPCD on the quality of shrimp surimi gel in the present study. The results showed that DPCD treatment affected the strength of shrimp surimi gel significantly, and the pressure of DPCD had the greatest influence on the gel strength of shrimp surimi, followed by time and temperature. When the processing pressure was 30 MPa, the temperature was 55 °C, and the treatment time was 60 min, the gel strength of the shrimp surimi was as high as 197.35 N·mm, which was not significantly different from the simulated value of 198.28 N mm (p > 0.05). The results of the gel quality properties showed that, compared with the heat-induced method, DPCD reduced the nutrient and quality loss of the shrimp surimi gel, and increased the gel strength and gel water-holding capacity. The results of low-field nuclear magnet resonance showed that DPCD increased the binding capacity of shrimp surimi to bound water and immobilized water, and reduced their losses. Gel microstructure further demonstrated that DPCD could improve shrimp surimi gelation properties, characterized by a finer and uniformly dense gel network structure. In summary, DPCD is a potential method for inducing shrimp surimi to form a suitable gel. The prediction model established in this study between DPCD treatment temperature, pressure, time, and gel strength can provide a reference for the production of shrimp surimi by DPCD.
