Open AccessInfluence of genetic and environmental factors on the contents of carotenoids and phenolic acids in red pepper fruits (Capsicum annuum L.)
Red pepper is enriched in antioxidant components, such as carotenoids, phenolic compounds, and vitamins. In this study, we investigated the natural variability in the content of carotenoids and phenolic acids ...

Comparative evaluation of nutritional compositions between transgenic rice harboring the CaMsrB2 gene and the conventional counterpart
As a part of a safety assessment of new transgenic crops, compositional equivalence studies between transgenic crops with non-transgenic comparators are almost universally required. This study was conducted to...

Physiological mechanism of drought tolerance in transgenic rice plants expressing Capsicum annuum methionine sulfoxide reductase B2 (CaMsrB2) gene
The methionine sulfoxide reductase B2 (MsrB2) gene catalyzes the reduction of free and protein-bound methionine sulfoxide to methionine and is known to provide tolerance to biotic and abiotic environmental stress...

Comparative nutritional analysis for genetically modified rice, Iksan483 and Milyang204, and nontransgenic counterparts
Recently, two glufosinate-tolerant rice varieties, Iksan483 and Milyang204, were developed in Korea generated by adding bar gene to genomes of the conventional rice varieties. Comparative assessment of nutritiona...

Analysis of metabolite profile data using batch-learning self-organizing maps
Novel tools are needed for efficient analysis and visualization of the massive data sets associated with metabolomics. Here, we describe a batch-learning self-organizing map (BL-SOM) for metabolome informatics...
