“…Despite the limited number of choices, this method of continuous selection may satisfy the participants' pursuit of variety (McAlister & Pessemier, 1982;Zhang, 2022). Therefore, these findings, once again, demonstrate the possible influence of hedonic foods on people's emotions (Macht & Dettmer, 2006;Yang et al, 2023). These findings may have some implications in the practice of training the emotional regulation abilities and promoting self-health management.…”

“…On the other hand, as for many individuals, food can function as a source of many emotions (Lamy et al, 2022). As for positive emotions, consumption of hedonic foods like chocolate (Macht & Dettmer, 2006), biscuits and cake has been reported to enhance positive emotions (Macht & Dettmer, 2006;Yang et al, 2023). However, in terms of negative emotions, monotonous food can lead to feelings of boredom, while stale or oddly textured food may cause nausea and discomfort.…”

SummaryWhile consumers are increasingly used to purchasing online, virtual reality (VR) is well acknowledged to enhance consumer experience via immersive and interaction systems. In our research, we recruited 160 participants (80 per experiment) to compare their consumer experiences of choosing Fast‐Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs) in a virtual store (via VR) and on an online webpage. Specifically, each participant was asked to choose four FMCGs (foods in Experiment 1 and non‐foods in Experiment 2) for the next 4 weeks, and they filled out the Positive and Negative Affect Scale before and after completing choice tasks. Results of the anova showed that there was a significant decrease in negative affect scores following both food and non‐food choices (Mbefore = 1.3 vs. Mafter = 1.2). Positive affect ratings were significantly higher for food choices in VR than online (MVR = 2.5 vs. Monline = 2.1), with no significant difference for non‐food choices. This highlights the impact of VR on food choice and its potential to transform human–food interactions. The study reveals that VR can narrow the gap between consumers' expectations and actual perceptions by creating an immersive and interactive shopping experience, thus significantly influencing consumer behaviour.

“…It is an evergreen shrub grown mainly in South America, New Zealand, and Spain for its aromatic and juicy fruit [ 4 ]. Its fruits have many benefits, and they have traditionally been used as a remedy for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and sprue [ 5 ]. S. muricatum also has the potential to act as a tumor repressor [ 6 ].…”

Plant-specific transcription factors such as the TCP family play crucial roles in light responses and lateral branching. The commercial development of S. muricatum has been influenced by the ease with which its lateral branches can be germinated, especially under greenhouse cultivation during the winter with supplemented LED light. The present study examined the TCP family genes in S. muricatum using bioinformatics analysis (whole-genome sequencing and RNA-seq) to explore the response of this family to different light treatments. Forty-one TCP genes were identified through a genome-wide search; phylogenetic analysis revealed that the CYC/TB1, CIN and Class I subclusters contained 16 SmTCP, 11 SmTCP and 14 SmTCP proteins, respectively. Structural and conserved sequence analysis of SmTCPs indicated that the motifs in the same subcluster were highly similar in structure and the gene structure of SmTCPs was simpler than that in Arabidopsis thaliana; 40 of the 41 SmTCPs were localized to 12 chromosomes. In S. muricatum, 17 tandem repeat sequences and 17 pairs of SmTCP genes were found. We identified eight TCPs that were significantly differentially expressed (DETCPs) under blue light (B) and red light (R), using RNA-seq. The regulatory network of eight DETCPs was preliminarily constructed. All three subclusters responded to red and blue light treatment. To explore the implications of regulatory TCPs in different light treatments for each species, the TCP regulatory gene networks and GO annotations for A. thaliana and S. muricatum were compared. The regulatory mechanisms suggest that the signaling pathways downstream of the TCPs may be partially conserved between the two species. In addition to the response to light, functional regulation was mostly enriched with auxin response, hypocotyl elongation, and lateral branch genesis. In summary, our findings provide a basis for further analysis of the TCP gene family in other crops and broaden the functional insights into TCP genes regarding light responses.

“…Using a combination of metabolome and transcriptome, we are able to link changes in metabolomic profiles and gene expression as we explore the relationship between genes and metabolites to decipher this complex coordination. 10 Consequently, many studies using metabolomics and transcriptomics in parallel have been performed to monitor development. Over the past few decades, the combination of metabolomic analysis and transcriptomic data has been widely used to identify plant metabolites and elucidate metabolic pathways that can be used to explain many physiological reactions.…”

“…Several studies have conducted investigations into the variations in nutritional composition and quality of pepino across different varieties, employing a combined transcriptomic and metabolomic methodology. 10 However, the mechanisms underlying the accumulation of metabolites in pepino remain unclear. The process of fruit development, maturation and senescence is intricate, and the progression of these developmental changes arises from the interplay between metabolites and genes.…”

Pepino ( Solanum muricatum ), a horticultural crop that has experienced significant growth in the highlands of China over the past two decades, is widely embraced by consumers due to its distinctive taste and nutritional advantages. This study focused on the cultivar ‘Qingcanxiang’ of pepino grown on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau was analyzed using UPLC-QTOF-MS and RNA-seq transcriptome sequencing. Fruit samples were collected at three distinct stages of development, and the results of the metabolomics and transcriptomics were compared and correlated. The study’s findings indicate that the ‘Qingcanxiang’ fruit contained a total of 187 metabolites, comprising 12 distinct categories of compounds, including amino acids and their derivatives, organic acids, sugars and alcohols, phenols and phenolic acids. Of these metabolites, 94 were identified as differential. Significant variations in nutrient composition were observed across the three growth stages of the fruit. Specifically, the stage spanning from the growth to the maturation was identified as the critical stages for nutrient accumulation and flavor development. Transcriptome sequencing analysis revealed a set of highly associated genes between aspartate and quinic acid, namely SIR2 , IRAK4 , RP-L29 , and CCNH . These genes are potentially involved in the regulation of both amino acid and phenolic acid synthesis. Through the application of metabolomics and transcriptomics, this investigation elucidates the alterations in metabolites and the underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms of pepino fruits during three growth stages. The findings furnish a theoretical foundation for the evaluation of nutritional quality and the enhancement of breeding strategies for pepino.
