Drying kinetics of camellia oleifera seeds under hot air drying with ultrasonic pretreatment Ind. Crops Prod. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-23 Jiantao Yu, Dan Huang, Xiangxiang Ling, Chuanjie Xun, Wenyang Huang, Jincheng Zheng, Liqiang Zhang
Camellia oleifera seeds with high moisture content are prone to decay, leading to oil rancidity and seriously affecting subsequent processing and tea oil quality. Thus, an efficient drying method is needed. Hot air drying with ultrasonic pretreatment is a potential drying method for camellia oleifera seeds. In this paper, the effects of key parameters such as ultrasound power, ultrasound pretreatment

Site-directed mutagenesis and molecular docking simulations identified the crucial substrate binding site asparagine 101 of xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) in woody plants Ind. Crops Prod. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-23 Yan Jiang, Yuqian Wang, Ruodong Qin, Xiangning Jiang, Rongzhou Man, Ying Gai
Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) is a key enzyme in plant cell wall remodeling. Previous investigations on the angiosperm Populus tomentosa identified 11 PtoXTH proteins with the XTH catalytic motif. Surprisingly, only two (PtoXTH27 and PtoXTH34) exhibited xyloglucan endotransglucosylase (XET) activity, suggesting the presence of additional key substrate binding or catalytic activity
