Constitutive expression of SlMX1 gene improves fruit yield and quality, health-promoting compounds, fungal resistance and delays ripening in transgenic tomato plants

Systematic Revision of Capparis Spinosa L. Var. (Canescens, Deserti, Inermis), the Endemic Varieties Among Egyptian Flora Based on Molecular and Chemo-Taxonomy

“…inermis. These results could be explained by the fact that the alteration in phenolic compounds content is associated with an increase or decrease in the synthesis of flavonoid compounds, which are phenolic derivatives (Ewas et al, 2022). The results of qRT-PCR are in line with the results of the phytochemical analyses.…”

“…Additionally, flavonoids have been found to have anti-inflammatory, antiosteoporosis, and anticancer properties (Pandey et al, 2015;García-Pérez et al 2018 and. The edible medicinal plant C. spinosa has been recognized as one of the best genetic sources of flavonoids (Abo El-Fadl et al, 2021 andEwas et al, 2022). Results of the current study exhibited a marked increase of both total and individual flavonoid contents in the leaves of C. spinosa var.…”

“…These findings support the accuracy of the findings on the total phenol content presented above. At molecular level, the elevation of phenylpropanoids resulted in significant increase of flavonoid compounds accumulation (Baldwin et al, 2011;Pandey et al, 2015;Shoeva et al, 2016 andEwas et al, 2022). Even though the data have led to a broad perspective of taxa inside the general orbit of C. spinosa.…”

Application of omics technology in the storage and transportation of agricultural products

“…Ewas et al compared the metabolome and transcriptome of SIMX1 transgenic tomato and wild tomato to evaluate how genetic engineering can improve the metabolome of tomato fruit. The results showed that the character improvement obtained by the SIMX1 genome has the potential for use in molecular breeding programs, resulting in changes to fruit size and yield, inducing secondary metabolites that promote health, improve fungal resistance, and ultimately extend the shelf life of fruit (Ewas et al, 2022). Apple fruit softening depends on the maturity at harvest and a series of orchard and environmental factors.…”
