Strategy for the enzymatic acylation of the apple flavonoid phloretin based on prior α-glucosylation
The acylation of flavonoids serves as a means to alter their physicochemical properties, enhance their stability, and improve their bioactivity. Compared with natural flavonoid glycosides, the acylation of nonglycosylated flavonoids presents greater challenges since they contain fewer reactive sites. In this work, we propose an efficient strategy t...
Biofabrication of Functional Pullulan by Aureobasidium pullulans under the Effect of Varying Mineral Salts and Sugar Str...
Pullulan is a linear exopolysaccharide, produced in the fermentation media of Aureobasidium pullulans, with a variety of applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Pullulan derivatives have growing potential for biomedical applications, but the high cost of pullulan biofabrication currently restricts its commercial use. Better control ...
Feline ovarian tissue vitrification : the effect of fragment size and base medium on follicular viability and morphology...
To achieve optimal vitrification, tissue structure and fragment size represent a challenge for obtaining sufficient cooling velocity. Theoretically, thin ovarian tissue fragments lead to higher surface contact, hence higher solute penetration. Another critical factor is the concentration of cryoprotectants (CPA): CPA toxicity may occur with high co...

Fructan oligosaccharide priming alters apoplastic sugar dynamics and improves resistance against Botrytis cinerea in chi...
Carbohydrates such as fructans can be involved in priming or defence stimulation, and hence potentially provide new strategies for crop protection against biotic stress. Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is a model plant for fructan research and is a crop with many known health benefits. Using the chicory-Botrytis cinerea pathosystem, we tested the effec...
A saliva alpha-glucosidase MpAgC2-2 enhance the feeding of green peach aphid Myzus persicae via extra-intestinal digesti...
Aphids feed on plant phloem sap that contains massive amounts of sucrose; this not only provides vital nutrition for the aphids but also produces high osmotic pressure. To utilize this carbon source and overcome the osmotic pressure, sucrose is hydrolyzed into the monosaccharides, glucose and fructose. In the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae), we ...
HEXOKINASE1 signalling promotes shoot branching and interacts with cytokinin and strigolactone pathways.
Published in The New phytologist
Plant architecture is controlled by several endogenous signals including hormones and sugars. However, only little information is known about the nature and roles of the sugar signalling pathways in this process. Here we test whether the sugar signalling pathway mediated by HEXOKINASE1 (HXK1) is involved in the control of shoot branching. To test t...
Targeted modification of polyamide nanofiltration membrane for efficient separation of monosaccharides and monovalent sa...
Separation of monosaccharides and monovalent salts is important in the biorefinery and food industry. Nanofiltration (NF) technology is promising for this purpose but its poor selectivity still needs to be addressed. In this work, the separation of monosaccharides and monovalent salts by NF is improved by regulating the surface charge and pore size...
