“…All of the quality control samples clustered together, indicating the satisfactory quality of the data. Recently, untargeted metabolomics has been employed to investigate the molecular mechanisms behind scab and salt resistance in pecans. , In addition, a widely targeted metabolomics analysis was employed to reveal the difference in astringent components in the seed coats of pecans and C. cathayensis . However, the overall changes in the metabolites during pecan kernel development have not been fully elucidated.…”

Pecans are a globally important tree nut crop. Pecan nuts are rich in fatty acids (FAs), proteins, and flavonoids in addition to thiamine and numerous micronutrients. Although several of these nutriments have been studied in this plant, the comprehensive metabolite variations and molecular mechanisms associated with them have not been fully elucidated. In this study, untargeted metabolomics and transcriptomics were integrated to reveal the metabolite accumulation patterns and their associated molecular mechanisms during pecan kernel development. In total, 4260 (under positive mode) and 2726 (under negative mode) high quality features were retained. Overall, 163 differentially accumulated metabolites were identified. Most components were classified into the categories “organic acids and derivatives” and “lipids and lipid-like molecules.” The accumulation patterns of amino acids, FAs, carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamins, flavonoids, and phenylpropanoids alongside embryo development were determined. Furthermore, transcriptomes from four pecan kernel developmental stages were used to assess transcript expression levels. Coexpression analyses were performed between FAs and their related genes. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the metabolic changes and regulations during pecan kernel development. We believe that the identification of nutriment accumulation trends and hub genes associated with the biosynthesis of the components will be valuable for genetically improving this plant.

“…The tannins, especially hydrolyzable tannins (HTs), constitute a major class of plant secondary metabolites, including simple gallic acid derivatives, gallotannins, and ellagitannins [ 37 ]. Tannins, especially hydrolyzable tannins, have attracted attention in recent decades because of their antioxidant potential and biological activity [ 38 ]. Many ellagitannins and hydrolyzable tannins, including ellagic acid, gallic acid, methyl gallate, ethyl gallate, chebulinic acid, corilagin, penta galloyl glucose, tetra galloyl beta-D-glucose, and casuarinin from the dichloromethane fraction of T .…”

Objectives Owing to extraordinary healing power, Terminalia species have been used in traditional medicine systems to treat various diseases. Many folklore uses of Terminalia neotaliala (Madagascar’s almond) included treating arterial hypertension, diabetes, diarrhea, dysentery, colic, oral and digestive candidiasis, intestinal parasitic infections, inflammatory skin conditions, postpartum care, and mycotic infections but nevertheless scientifically explored for its medicinal and pharmacological importance. Therefore, the current study intended to prepare methanolic extract and its fractionation with hexane, chloroform, and butanol followed by evaluation of their polyphenolic content, biological activities, and LCMS analysis. The biological study included antioxidant activity and enzyme inhibition assay i.e., α-glucosidase and urease. The insight study of biologically active secondary metabolites of butanol fraction (BUAE) was performed through LCMS. Methods The total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) of hydroalcoholic and its fractions were estimated using the Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride method. The total tannin content (TTC) was determined using the Folin-Denis spectrophotometric method. Similarly, the antioxidant potential of HAAE, HEAE, CFAE, and BUAE was determined using four methods as DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), 2,2-azinobis(3-ethylbenothiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid, cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The sample extracts were also evaluated against two clinically important enzymes i.e., α-glucosidase and urease. Results The BUAE (butanol aerial fraction) showed the highest TPC (234.79 ± 0.12 mg.GAE.g-1 DE), TFC (320.75 ± 12.50 mg.QE.g-1 DE), and TTC (143.36 ± 4.32 mg.TA.Eq.g-1 DE). The BUAE also showed the highest scavenging potential determined by DPPH (642.65 ± 1.11 mg.TEq.g-1 DE) and ABTS (543.17 ± 1.11 mg.TEq.g-1 DE), and the metal-reducing capacity determined by CUPRAC (1510.41 ± 4.45 mg.TEq.g-1 DE) and FRAP (739.81 ± 19.32 mg.TEq.g-1 DE). The LCMS of BUAE identified 18 different biologically active phytoconstituents validating a rich source of hydrolyzable tannins including ellagitannins and gallitannins. Conclusion The present study concluded that T. neotaliala is a rich source of polyphenols capable of neutralizing the damage caused by free radical accumulation in the cells and tissues. The significant antioxidant results and identification of high molecular weight hydrolyzable tannins enlightened the medicinal importance of T. neotaliala.

“…The statistical function prcomp function in R (version 3.6.3) was used to perform unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA). The data were unit variance scaled [24] (i.e., z-score normalization) before unsupervised PCA by setting the prcomp function parameter scale = True. The hierarchical cluster analysis was carried out by R package Com-plexHeatmap.…”

Shrimp allergy (SA) is pathological type 2 inflammatory immune responses against harmless shrimp protein allergen, which is caused by complex interactions between dendritic cells (DCs) and other immune cells. Lipid metabolism in different DCs states are significantly changed. However, the lipid metabolism of spleen DCs in SA remain ambiguous. In this study, we established a BALB/c mouse shrimp protein extract-induced allergy model to determine the lipid profile of spleen DCs in SA, and the molecular mechanism between lipid metabolism and immune inflammation was preliminarily studied. Spleen DCs were sorted by fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and then widely targeted lipidomics and transcriptomics analysis were performed. Principal component analysis presented the lipidome alterations in SA. The transcriptomic data showed that Prkcg was involved in lipid metabolism, immune system, and inflammatory signaling pathway. In the correlation analysis, the results suggested that Prkcg was positively correlated with triacylglycerol (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.917, p = 0.01). The lipidomics and transcriptomics integrated pathway analysis indicated the activated metabolic conversion from triacylglycerol to 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol and the transmission of lipid metabolism to immune inflammation (from triacylglycerol and ceramide to Prkcg) in SA spleen DCs, and cellular experiments in vitro showed that glyceryl trioleate and C16 ceramide treatment induced immune function alteration in DCs.
