ConclusionsThe results demonstrate the power of complementary transcriptomic and proteomic analyses in the study of pathogen defense and resistance in plants and the chitinase could play an important role in the defense response of peanut to A. flavus. The current study also constitutes the first step toward building an integrated omics data platform for the development of Aspergillus-resistant peanut cultivars.

Cholinesterase inhibitory activity, antioxidative potential and microbial stability of innovative liver pâté fortified with rosemary extract (Rosmarinus officinalis)
ConclusionsApart from that, the rosemary extract affected the health-promoting value of the samples, which inhibited cholinesterase activity during the entire period of storage. The extract inhibited AChE more than BChE. (Source: Electronic Journal of Biotechnology)

Betaine supplementation improved L-threonine fermentation of Escherichia coli THRD by upregulating zwf (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) expression
ConclusionsWe reveal a novel mode of betaine facilitating the microbial production of useful compounds. Betaine supplementation upregulates the expression of zwf and increases the NADPH synthesis, which may be beneficial for the cell growth and thereby promote the production of L-threonine. This finding might be useful for producing NADPH-dependent amino acids and derivatives in E. coli THRD or other E. coli strains. (Source: Electronic Journal of Biotechnology)

Transcriptome profiling of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) drought-tolerant variety hassawi-2 under drought stress using RNA sequencing
ConclusionThe transcriptome data generated here using RNA sequencing is the first report of faba bean under drought stress indicating the genes involved in drought tolerance. This information can be used to improve drought tolerance in elite faba bean cultivars and to develop tolerant germplasm for other legumes crops. (Source: Electronic Journal of Biotechnology)

Polyphenolic extracts of walnut (Juglans regia) green husk containing juglone inhibit the growth of HL-60 cells and induce apoptosis
ConclusionsGreen husk extract generate an antiproliferative effect in HL-60 cells, related with an induction of the early stages of apoptosis and a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. The normal cells were not affected when juglone is present in concentrations of 1 μM, while at higher concentrations there is loss of viability of both cancerous and healthy cells.
