Summary: The nuclear GARP transcription factor AtGLK1 was demonstrated to play a crucial role in regulating sucrose-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis. It functions by enhancing anthocyanin accumulation, participating in plastid-signaling mediated anthocyanin accumulations, and acting upstream of the key negative regulator MYBL2.

Summary: Anthocyanin accumulation is a prominent trait in plants under environmental stresses, with PIF4 playing a negative regulatory role in modulating anthocyanin biosynthesis by interacting with PAP1 in the MBW complex. This interaction interferes with the regulation of the MBW protein complex and leads to reduced anthocyanin content in Arabidopsis under various stress conditions.

Summary: This study determined the molecular mechanism of color formation in eggplants and identified novel genes related to the difference in peel color and anthocyanin biosynthesis. Functional analysis confirmed the important roles of five genes in anthocyanin accumulation in eggplant peels. A regulatory model for the mechanism of color formation in eggplant was proposed.

Summary: In this study, it was found that the natural mutant 'Da Sajin' in lotus may have originated from a red-flowered ancestor. Partial loss of anthocyanin pigments in white petals may result from metabolic disorder caused by light destruction. The translational and post-translational regulatory network plays an important role in anthocyanin metabolism in lotus.

Moro during cold quarantine storage were investigated. The combined MeSA and GB treatment showed the highest effectiveness in enhancing the fruit's chilling tolerance and preserving bioactive compounds.

Summary: Anthocyanin is a characteristic nutrient in purple cabbage, and the PAL enzyme is important for anthocyanin synthesis. This study found that the amplification and evolution of the PAL gene in cabbage is due to segmental duplication and purifying selection. qRT-PCR assays showed that PAL genes were upregulated by UVA and low temperature, and downregulated by FR, high temperature, salt, PEG, IAA, ABA and GA, with a positive correlation between gene expression and anthocyanin content.

Summary: PAP1 is a positive regulator of anthocyanin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seeds, significantly increasing the anthocyanin content. It directly promotes the expression of ten key genes and indirectly upregulates other key genes during seed maturation, enhancing seed anthocyanin accumulation.

Summary: The exogenous application of glycine betaine (GB) was found to be effective in maintaining bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, and quality in Moro blood orange fruit during long-term storage. GB treatments reduced weight and firmness losses, maintained higher concentrations of organic acids and sugars, and enhanced total anthocyanin concentration, total phenolic content, and total antioxidant activity. The most effective treatment was 30 mM GB.

Summary: This study focused on the formation of petal blotch in the rose cultivar 'Sunset Babylon Eyes' and found that only cyanidin 3,5-O-diglucoside (Cy3G5G) contributed to the blotch pigmentation. The amount of Cy3G5G varied at different developmental stages. Only flavonols but no flavone were found in blotch and non-blotch parts. Key enzyme genes and regulatory genes, such as RC7G0058400 (F3'H), RC6G0470600 (DFR), RC7G0212200 (ANS), RC7G0019000 (MYB), and RC1G0363600 (WRKY), were identified in the formation and color deepening of the blotch.

Summary: Reprogramming glial cells to neurons is a potential therapeutic strategy for repairing damaged neural circuits. Recent studies have shown that downregulation of PTBP1 can efficiently convert Miller glia cells into retinal ganglion cells. However, this study provides evidence that PTBP1 downregulation alone is insufficient to convert glial cells into neurons.

Summary: This study identifies a previously unknown adipokine called Adissp, which plays a key role in regulating white adipose tissue thermogenesis and glucose homeostasis. The results suggest that Adissp promotes white adipose tissue thermogenesis, improves glucose homeostasis, and protects against obesity. Adipose-specific knockout of Adissp leads to defective white adipose tissue browning and susceptibility to high fat diet-induced obesity and hyperglycemia.
