Summary: This study presents the crystal structure and biochemical characterization of a feruloyl esterase from Lentilactobacillus buchneri, a lactic acid bacteria strain. The feruloyl esterase exhibits narrow specificity, accommodating only single FA chains attached to arabinoxylan. This research is important for the potential applications of lactic acid bacteria-derived feruloyl esterases in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Summary: The viscosity of water extracts can predict the best field of application for winter rye grain. Gene analysis revealed specific genes and polysaccharides that influence the viscosity. High-viscosity cultivars up-regulated enzymes involved in polysaccharide synthesis, while low-viscosity cultivars up-regulated enzymes involved in polysaccharide degradation.

Summary: Rye, an important crop and valuable genetic resource, was found to be domesticated directly from weedy relatives through genomic selection by humans, according to a study analyzing whole-genome resequencing data from worldwide accessions of wild, weedy, and cultivated rye. The study also identified genes associated with important agronomic traits and detected a potential introgression from a wild perennial that could affect grain yield and plant growth in rye.

Summary: The two-step whole rye meal fractionation process involving sieving and alkaline extraction resulted in higher ethanol production efficiency by obtaining purified starch and protein fractions with increased purity. The process also yielded more ethanol from fungal cultivation of byproducts compared to using whole rye stillage. This study demonstrated the benefits of fractionation process in improving ethanol production in an integrated biorefinery scenario.

Summary: The study found that the genetic variation of perennial rye is mainly influenced by specific loci on the chromosomes rather than the presence of chromosomal multivalents. Through QTL mapping, key genetic loci affecting perenniality and fertility were identified.

Summary: A feruloyl esterase (FAE) gene was isolated from rumen microbial metagenome, expressed and purified successfully. FAE efficiently catalyzed the release of ferulic acid (FA) from corn fiber under optimal conditions. Addition of GH10 endoxylanase (XYN) enhanced the yield of FAE in releasing FA.

Summary: This study found that the synergistic effect of multiple bacteria can increase the production of ferulic acid, and optimal fermentation conditions were determined through orthogonal design, showing that a combination of Klebsiella oxytoca Z28, Klebsiella pneumoniae JZE, and Bacillus velezensis G1 can achieve the best results.

Summary: This study evaluated the biogas and methane yields from six cereal rye cover crops grown in the Midwest, and found that ensiling can increase methane yield but may disrupt or fail anaerobic digestion at high solid contents.

Summary: The study found that less ergot-susceptible rye cultivars tend to contain lower levels of ergot alkaloids. Genotypes displayed significant variations in pollen shedding, ergot severity, and EA contents, with high heritabilities observed. The correlation between ergot severity and EA contents was strong, suggesting a consistent relationship between the two factors.

Summary: The genomic landscape of recombination in rye individuals was investigated, revealing differences in recombination patterns based on domestication status and geographic origin. Substantial variation in the physical size of low-recombining regions was observed among different subpopulations, with a major QTL identified. Domesticated rye individuals showed differences in recombination landscape but not in crossover frequency. A genomic region associated with the ScESA1 gene in domesticated subpopulations exhibited moderate patterns of selection.

Summary: This study developed 166 new primary 1RS.1BL translocation lines by crossing rye varieties with several wheat cultivars. Cytogenetic and molecular analyses confirmed that all of these lines contained a pair of intact 1RS.1BL translocation chromosomes. The effects of the 1RS.1BL translocations from different rye cultivars on resistance to stripe rust varied, and the greatest genetic diversity was observed in translocations derived from diverse rye varieties but in the same wheat background. These diverse translocation lines provide ample opportunities for improving stripe rust resistance in wheat.

Summary: In this study, intake of high fiber bread containing higher levels of free ferulic acid was found to enhance human endothelium-dependent vascular function by increasing vascular dilation to improve cardiovascular health. Enzymatically processed high fiber bread releasing FA also increased the bioavailability of FA.

Summary: Xyloglucans and homogalacturonans demonstrate developmental stage specificity, while different xylans have tissue specificity in growing rye roots. Mannans, arabinans and galactans are also detected within the protoplast. The distribution of cell wall polysaccharides and their dynamics during elongation growth and histogenesis in rye roots were revised using nonfixed material and the spectrum of antibodies. The study found that rye cell walls at the earliest stages of cell development were enriched with the epitopes of xyloglucans and homogalacturonans, contrary to expectations.

Summary: In vitro tissue culture plant regeneration involves multiple levels of cell functioning and complex interactions, but the network connecting these aspects is not well understood. The review attempts to present a broad range of aspects involved in tissue culture-induced variation in the hope of stimulating further research for a better understanding of cell functioning.

Summary: The antioxidant properties of bread can be significantly enhanced through the addition of lactic acid in the direct method of breadmaking. Macromolecule-bound ferulic acid in the PBS extract of rye bread is shown to be a stronger antioxidant compared to low molar mass phenolics extracted with MeOH, suggesting that PBS extract may better reflect the antioxidant potency of cereal-based products.

Summary: By analyzing the FTIR spectra of triticale regenerants, researchers revealed the relationships between DNA and histone methylation, Cu(II) ions, and pectins, providing insights into the functioning of cells under in vitro conditions. The study demonstrated that Cu(II) ions act as cofactors of enzymatic reactions, regulating the Krebs and Yang cycles and the transsulfuration pathway and ultimately affecting green plant regeneration efficiency. This model contributes to understanding the mechanisms of cell functioning and plant regeneration.
