    Abstract Rosa roxburghii Tratt, the most popular fruit that blooms in the southwest of China, has high antioxidant properties and is rich in different flavonoids. However, the regulatory network and critical genes that regulate the flavonoid biosynthesis of R. roxburghii are still unknown. In this study, HPLC analysis revealed that total flavonoids, anthocyanins, and catechin were enriched in mature fruits, flowers, and leaves, respectively. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between five organs of R. roxburghii involved in flavonoid metabolism were obtained by transcriptome sequencing. A total of 1130 DEGs were identified, including 166 flavonoid pathway biosynthesis genes, 622 transcription factors (TFs), 301 transporters, and 221 cytochrome P450 proteins. A weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of the DEGs was conducted to construct co-expression networks. Regarding enzymes in the biosynthesis of flavonoids, cytochrome P450 CYP749A22 and CYP72A219 were highlighted in the regulation of total flavonoids of mature fruits. Anthocyanin 3-O-glucosyltransferase and F3′H were the top two critical enzymes for anthocyanin accumulation in flowers. By contrast, caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase, 4-coumarate-CoA ligase, and shikimate O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase were essential for catechin accumulation in leaves. Additionally, we analyzed the eigengene network of the “black” module, which had high correlations with total flavonoids (r = 0.9, p = 5 × 10⁻⁶). There were 26 eigengenes in the “black” module, consisting of 6 flavonoid biosynthesis, 14 TFs, and 6 transporters. Among them, the transcription factors RrWRKY45 (DN142829_c1_g5), RrTCP20 (DN146443_c1_g1), and RrERF118 (DN141507_c3_g2) were screened as the hub genes, which significantly correlated with total flavonoids in R. roxburghii. The present biochemical and transcriptomic data provide insights into functional genomics for breeding R. roxburghii with flavonoid accumulation.

    Abstract Background: The diploid woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is an excellent model plant for investigating economically significant traits and several genetic resources within the Rosaceae family. Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated hairy root transformation is an alternative for exploring gene functions, especially the genes specifically expressed in roots. However, the hairy root transformation has not been established in strawberry.
    Results: Here, we described an efficient and rapid hairy root transgenic system for strawberry using A. rhizogenes. Strain of A. rhizogenes MSU440 or C58C1 was the most suitable for hairy root transformation. The transformation efficiency was highest when tissues contained hypocotyls as explants. The optimal procedure involves A. rhizogenes at an optical density (OD
    Conclusion: We established a rapid and efficient hairy root transformation in strawberry by optimizing parameters, which was adequate for promoter analysis and functional characterization of candidate genes in strawberry and other rosaceous plants.

    Abstract Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) have attracted considerable attention due to their unique role in boosting infant health. Among the HMOs, lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) is a significant constituent associated with various health benefits, such as prebiotic effects, antiadhesive antimicrobials, antiviral protection, and immune modulators. LNT has received a "Generally Recognized as Safe" status by the American Food and Drug Administration and was approved as a food ingredient for infant formula. However, the limited availability of LNT poses a major challenge for its application in food and medicine. In this review, we first explored the physiological functions of LNT. Next, we describe several synthesis methods for production of LNT, including chemical, enzymatic, and cell factory approaches, and summarize the pivotal research results. Finally, challenges and opportunities for the large-scale synthesis of LNT were discussed.

    Abstract In the chemical process, reactor and distillation sequence are interconnected by the reactor effluent and recycle streams, and affect the heat exchanger network (HEN). A systematic method is proposed for synthesizing and optimizing the Reactor-Distillation sequence-Recycle-HEN (RDRH) system. In this method, an improved partition method is used to identify all feasible distillation sequences; each distillation sequence is integrated with the reactor, the recycle and HEN. This method can identify the RDRH system with the minimum energy consumption and the corresponding key parameters efficiently. A styrene unit is studied by the proposed method, the results are in good agreement with those identified based on the rigorous simulation of Aspen Plus, and the relative errors are less than 5.5%. The proposed method can be applied in the preliminary design for targeting the optimal flowsheet and parameters, comparing catalysts, and can be extended to optimize the flowsheet in the whole life cycle.

    Abstract Background: Aspergillus niger ATCC 20611 is an industrially important fructooligosaccharides (FOS) producer since it produces the β-fructofuranosidase with superior transglycosylation activity, which is responsible for the conversion of sucrose to FOS accompanied by the by-product (glucose) generation. This study aims to consume glucose to enhance the content of FOS by heterologously expressing glucose oxidase and peroxidase in engineered A. niger.
    Results: Glucose oxidase was successfully expressed and co-localized with β-fructofuranosidase in mycelia. These mycelia were applied to synthesis of FOS, which possessed an increased purity of 60.63% from 52.07%. Furthermore, peroxidase was expressed in A. niger and reached 7.70 U/g, which could remove the potential inhibitor of glucose oxidase to facilitate the FOS synthesis. Finally, the glucose oxidase-expressing strain and the peroxidase-expressing strain were jointly used to synthesize FOS, which content achieved 71.00%.
    Conclusions: This strategy allows for obtaining high-content FOS by the multiple enzymes expressed in the industrial fungus, avoiding additional purification processes used in the production of oligosaccharides. This study not only facilitated the high-purity FOS synthesis, but also demonstrated the potential of A. niger ATCC 20611 as an enzyme-producing cell factory.

    Abstract Abstract Background The diploid woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is an excellent model plant for investigating economically significant traits and several genetic resources within the Rosaceae family. Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated hairy root transformation is an alternative for exploring gene functions, especially the genes specifically expressed in roots. However, the hairy root transformation has not been established in strawberry. Results Here, we described an efficient and rapid hairy root transgenic system for strawberry using A. rhizogenes. Strain of A. rhizogenes MSU440 or C58C1 was the most suitable for hairy root transformation. The transformation efficiency was highest when tissues contained hypocotyls as explants. The optimal procedure involves A. rhizogenes at an optical density (OD600) of 0.7 for 10 min and co-cultivation duration for four days, achieving a transgenic efficiency of up to 71.43%. An auxin responsive promoter DR5 ver2 carrying an enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) marker was transformed by A. rhizogenes MSU440, thereby generating transgenic hairy roots capable of high eGFP expression in root tip and meristem of strawberry where auxin accumulated. Finally, this system was applied for functional analysis using jGCaMP7c, which could sense calcium signals. A significant upsurge in eGFP expression in the transgenic hairy roots was displayed after adding calcium chloride. The results suggested that this approach was feasible for studying specific promoters and could be a tool to analyze gene functions in the roots of strawberries. Conclusion We established a rapid and efficient hairy root transformation in strawberry by optimizing parameters, which was adequate for promoter analysis and functional characterization of candidate genes in strawberry and other rosaceous plants.
