Summary: The study showed that induction of hairy roots from fenugreek cotyledon explants using different strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes followed by treatment with zinc oxide nanoparticles can lead to higher levels of trigonelline. The best results were obtained with the ATCC11325 strain and Zn (2x) treatment, resulting in increased fresh and dry weight of hairy roots and higher trigonelline content compared to the control group.

Summary: This study investigated the stable pRiA4-transformed callus culture of Rubia cordifolia L. and found that the transformed tissue can achieve long-term cultivation without the need for plant growth regulators (PGRs). Moreover, the transformed tissue exhibited higher productivity of anthraquinone (AQ) compared to untransformed tissue. These findings have important implications in selecting optimal PGR combinations for the cultivation of rare, medicinal, and woody plants, and highlight the potential application of genetic modification in plant biotechnology.

Summary: The compact shoot architecture of Osteospermum fruticosum Ri lines obtained through Rhizobium rhizogenes transformation reduces the need for chemical growth retardants. This genetic strategy introduces compactness in the perennial shrub Cape daisy and could potentially reduce the use of growth retardants in commercial production systems.

Summary: Natural products are an important source for drug discovery, but their identification is challenging due to their complexity. In this study, a deep clustering-based MS data visualization strategy, integrated with an automatic MS annotation platform and in vivo and in vitro methods, was developed to screen and validate potential lead compounds from natural products. This approach not only accelerates the discovery of lead compounds, but also sheds light on traditional processing theories.

Summary: Plants are important sources of secondary metabolites, but natural plant populations cannot meet the commercial demand due to low accumulation volume. Hairy root cultures induced by plant interaction with Rhizobium rhizogenes are a practical solution for producing valuable secondary metabolites at low cost and without seasonal variations. Metabolic engineering in hairy roots, including overexpression and silencing of genes and transcription factor overexpression, can enhance metabolite production. This review focuses on alkaloids and discusses future prospects for meeting production demands through metabolic engineering in hairy roots.

Summary: Galega officinalis L. is an herbaceous legume that contains galegine, a dominant alkaloid used to treat hyperglycemia or diabetes mellitus. In this study, hairy roots were induced in Galega officinalis using Rhizobium rhizogenes strain A4, and the effect of different elicitors on galegine content and other phytochemical characteristics was investigated. Results showed that ultrasound treatment significantly increased galegine content in the hairy roots, as well as the content of total phenol, flavonoid, H2O2, and MDA.

Summary: HMGA1 is a protein involved in DNA transcription, replication, recombination, and repair. Its overexpression is associated with malignancy, metastasis, and poor survival in several types of cancer. However, the prognostic significance of HMGA1 in lung cancer is not clear. This study found that HMGA1 is highly expressed in lung tumors and is associated with certain clinicopathological features. High expression of HMGA1 is linked to shorter survival time in lung adenocarcinoma patients but not in lung squamous cell carcinoma patients. HMGA1 interacts with proteins involved in cellular senescence, cell cycle control, transcription regulation, chromatin assembly and remodeling, and cholesterol and isoprene biosynthesis.

Summary: The in vitro cultures of Rindera graeca were developed to provide a sustainable source of phenolic acids. Both shoot and root cultures were established and yielded high levels of rosmarinic acid and lithospermic acid B. The highest antioxidant activity was observed in roots cultivated in DCR medium, while the highest reducing power was observed in shoots cultured on an SH medium with 0.5 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine. Genetic analysis showed significant variation among the investigated shoots and roots, indicating the ability of cultivated tissues to produce phenolic compounds.

Summary: P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays a role in lung cancer development, progression, and patient survival. Changes in ABCB1 expression level may be related to tumorigenesis and multidrug resistance (MDR). Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, also regulate the gene's activity. Our analysis found downregulated ABCB1 expression and associated methylation changes in lung cancer cells, with variations based on age, gender, ethnicity, and smoking cessation. Decreased transcript levels were linked to advanced cancer stage and lower survival probability. Notably, ABCB1 expression changes were often unique to specific tumor subtypes. Methylation promoter was identified as a cause of decreased gene expression in lung cancer cells. These findings establish ABCB1 as an important prognostic factor in lung cancer.

Summary: ABCG2 is a cell membrane pump encoded by the ABCG2 gene, which can protect cells against compounds initiating and/or intensifying neoplasia and is considered a marker of cancer stem cells. Its prognostic significance in colorectal cancer remains unclear. Using publicly available data, ABCG2 was shown to be underexpressed in colon and rectum adenocarcinomas, and this downregulation could result from the methylation level of some sites of the ABCG2 gene. However, no association was found between ABCG2 expression level and survival of colorectal cancer patients.

Summary: Expenditure isolation of lignin and the understanding of its structural variations during different isolation processes are crucial for the high-value utilization of lignin. This study proposed a green deep eutectic solvent (DES) consisting of choline chloride, ethylene glycol, and 4-chlorobenzene sulfonic acid for rapid lignin separation from poplar. The structural variations of DES lignin and its relationship with alkali pre-extraction of hemicellulose were investigated. The results showed that alkali pretreatment enhanced the DES separation of lignin and promoted the cleavage of specific linkages, resulting in reduced molecular weight and thermal stability of isolated DES lignin. Moreover, DES lignin obtained from integrated utilization displayed higher purity and S/G ratio compared to lignin obtained from direct DES treatment.
