In the present study, we explored the application of star polycation (SPc) nanocarrier to improve the effectiveness of the fungicide fluxapyroxad (Flu) in combating VW. The SPc self-assembled with Flu through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces to form the Flu/SPc complex spontaneously, which exhibited strong intermolecular interactions, as indicated by a high affinity constant and favorable thermodynamic parameters. Complexation with SPc decreased the particle size of Flu. The Flu/SPc complex had a greater effect on <i>V. dahliae</i> than Flu alone, reducing the colony diameter and spore numbers more effectively. Expression levels of multiple key genes involved in nitrogen, polysaccharide, and sugar metabolism were downregulated in <i>V. dahliae</i> upon Flu/SPc complex treatment compared to Flu treatment, which might contribute to the greater growth inhibition in Flu/SPc-treated samples. Uptake studies in potato plants demonstrated that SPc significantly enhanced the absorption of Flu compared with Flu alone. Slighter disease symptoms and lower fungal biomass in greenhouse and field trials confirmed the enhanced protective effects of the Flu/SPc complex on potato seedlings.

C3G_VC was isolated and purified by a venusil ASB-C18 column with a medium-pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) system. The chemical structure of C3G_VC was identified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which showed the maximum absorption wavelength of 505.57 nm. This study showed that Cd exposure of mice induced liver damage, oxidative stress, and inflammation of the gut microbiome. Our findings demonstrated that C3G_VC intervention in Cd-exposed mice significantly mitigated oxidative stress injury by declining the malondialdehyde (MDA) level and increasing the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in the liver, meanwhile alleviating liver injury by decreasing the bile acid (BA) level and accelerating the excretion of fecal BA. Moreover, the Cd_C3G_VC group showed elevated levels of mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL6, IL1β, and TNF-α) and inhibited BA synthesis (CYP7A1) in Cd-exposed mice. The fermentation results <i>in vitro</i> showed that C3G_VC had a higher residue than that of cyanidin-3-glucoside. The 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing disclosed that C3G_VC intervention in Cd-exposed mice significantly increased the abundance of <i>Faecalibaculum</i> and <i>unidentified_Lachnospiraceae</i>. It is noteworthy that the C3G_VC supplement increased the abundance of <i>Akkermansia</i>.

In the absence of bacterial myrosinase, glucosinolates are excreted from the body in their inactive forms. However, the mechanisms underlying the bacterial breakdown of glucosinolates are not well understood. Here, we investigated the mechanism and enzymes involved in glucosinolate breakdown by the probiotic microorganism <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> ZUST49, which degrades the glucosinolate glucoraphanin to sulforaphane and erucin. The glucoraphanin-degrading activity of this strain was induced by the presence of glucoraphanin and an absence of glucose. UPLC-MS analysis of the degradation products indicated that glucoraphanin was degraded via three distinct pathways, and further, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses led to the identification of a myrosinase gene, <i>LpMyr</i>, that encodes a 460-amino acid enzyme. The purified <i>Lp</i>Myr protein exhibited optimal activity at 50 °C and pH 7.0, with hydrolysis rates of 7.74 U/mg for glucoraphanin and 5.89 U/mg for sinigrin. These findings provide new insights into the glucosinolate conversion capability of <i>L. plantarum</i> and highlight its potential for high-yield ITC production in the fermentation industry, as well as its potential use as a probiotic in the human gut.","PeriodicalId":41,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143582468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
