“…Thus, the highest antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract could be ascribed to this group of secondary metabolites. The contribution of flavonoid compounds to antioxidant properties was proven before [11,20,44,47]. Furthermore, anthocyanins strongly correlated with the antioxidant ability estimated by the TRC assay, which is in compliance with previously reported results [11].…”

We investigated the total phenolic and flavonoid contents and the anthocyanin profiles in aqueous, ethanol and acetone extracts of Prunus spinosa (Rosaceae) fruit, and their antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antidiabetic and antitumor properties. The contribution of polyphenol contents to the bioactivity of the extracts was calculated and observed through Pearson's coefficient of correlation. The acetone extract was the richest in phenols and anthocyanins and the ethanol extract in flavonoids. Cyanidin was the most abundant anthocyanin compound in all examined extracts. The ethanol extract showed the most promising antioxidant activity in DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays. Tested bacteria were more affected by the ethanol than by the aqueous extract. Both the ethanol and aqueous extracts exhibited potential antidiabetic effects, observed as inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, enzymes linked with diabetes mellitus type II. The ethanol extract was a potent α-glucosidase-inhibitor with a significantly lower IC50 value than the positive control, glucobay, used to treat diabetes mellitus type II. Neither the ethanol nor the aqueous extracts had any effects on tested human malignant cell lines. Our results indicate that the ethanol extract showed the most pronounced in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial effects, and a potential antidiabetic activity, which can be ascribed to its high flavonoid content. Our results indicate that research of compounds, particularly of flavonoids present in the ethanol extract and their anti-diabetic properties should be examined further.

“…Comparison between the protein-coding gene transcripts and those of FLNC revealed strong concordance, which exhibited better recovery of large transcripts than previous Illumina RNA-Seq data for gene model prediction, particularly in the 2,500-4,000-bp size range [27]. The four rows of "SL and UL [1][2][3][4] " represent the leaf library, and the row "SF and UF" represent the fruit (Figure 1b). The top three GO terms for the classified genes were "protein binding" (4,812), "ATP binding" (3,907), and "protein kinase activity" (2,272) for MF; "protein phosphorylation" (2,273), "oxidation-reduction process" (1,833), and "signal transduction" (1,255) for BP; and "membrane" (1,656), "integral component of membrane" (1,571), and "nucleus" (748) for CC ( Supplementary Table S2).…”

Background Rain-shelter covering is widely applied during cherry fruit development in subtropical monsoon climates with the aim of decreasing the dropping and cracking of fruit caused by excessive rainfall. Under rain-shelter conditions, the characteristics of the leaves and fruit of the cherry plant may adapt to the changes in the microclimate. However, the molecular mechanism underlying such adaptation remains unclear, although clarifying it may be helpful for improving the yield and quality of cherry under rain-shelter conditions.Results To better understand the regulation and adaptive mechanism of cherry under rain-shelter covering, 38,621 and 3,584 differentially expressed genes were identified with the combination of Illumina HiSeq and single-molecule real-time sequencing in leaves and fruits, respectively, at three developmental stages. Among these, key genes, such as those encoding photosynthetic-antenna proteins ( Lhca and Lhcb ) and photosynthetic electron transporters (PsbP , PsbR , PsbY , and PetF ), were upregulated following the application of rain-shelter covering, leading to increased efficiency of light utilization. The mRNA levels of genes involved in carbon fixation, namely, rbcL and rbcS , were clearly increased in comparison to those under shelter-free conditions, giving rise to improved CO 2 utilization. Furthermore, the transcription levels of genes involved in chlorophyll ( hemA , hemN , and chlH ) and carotenoid synthesis ( crtB , PDS , crtISO , and lcyB ) in the sheltered leaves peaked earlier than those in the unsheltered leaves, thereby promoting organic matter accumulation in leaves. Remarkably, the expression levels of key genes involved in the metabolic pathways of phenylpropanoid ( PAL , C4H , and 4CL ) and flavonoid ( CHS , CHI , F3’H , DFR , and ANS ) in the sheltered fruits were also upregulated earlier than those in the shelter-free fruits, conducive to an increase in anthocyanin content in the fruits.Conclusions According to the physiological indicators and transcriptional expression levels of related genes, the adaptive regulation mechanism of cherry plants was systematically revealed. These findings can help understand the effect of rain-shelter covering on Chinese cherry cultivation in rainy regions.
