A taste of science: how CsMYB67 influences tea’s healthful compounds
A new study has uncovered the crucial role of the CsMYB67 gene in controlling flavonoid biosynthesis in tea leaves, compounds that give tea its bitter and astringent taste. This gene’s role in regulating flavonoid production in response to environmental stress offers valuable insights into tea plant biology and opens up avenues for enhancing tea quality through genetic modification.
Flavonoid fortune: citrus genes llluminate path to nutrient richness
Scientists have unlocked the genetic secrets behind the biosynthesis of flavonoid glycosides in citrus, a breakthrough that could fortify the nutritional potency and disease resistance of these fruits. This discovery refines our grasp of the genetic orchestration of these beneficial compounds, setting the stage for an upgrade in citrus nutrition and health.
Flavonol-rich foods like apples and blackberries can lower chances of developing frailty
Eating plant-based foods that contain dietary compounds called flavonols can lower your chances of developing frailty.
Study: Adding Color to Your Plate May Lower Risk of Cognitive Decline
A new study shows that people who eat a diet that includes at least half a serving per day of foods high in flavonoids like strawberries, oranges, peppers and apples may have a 20% lower risk of cognitive decline. The research is published in the July 28, 2021, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study looked at several types of flavonoids, and found that flavones and anthocyanins may have the most protective effect.
Aspirin, flavonoid metabolites may be preventing colorectal cancer
Simpler phenolic compounds, known as hydroxybenzoic acids, that result when the gut bacteria break down aspirin and flavonoids from fruits and vegetables may contribute to colorectal cancer prevention.
