TL;DR: In this article, the pectins from sugar beet pulp were extracted in an aqueous acid medium under different conditions using a full two-state experimental design for three extraction parameters (pH, temperature and time).

TL;DR: In this paper, it was inferred that citrus peel pectins consist of Homogalacturonans (HGs) strectches of similar lengths, irrespective of the mode of extraction.

TL;DR: It was found that local species richness and abundance typically peaked at higher latitudes, displaying patterns opposite to those observed in aboveground organisms, which suggest that climate change may have serious implications for earthworm communities and for the functions they provide.
Abstract: Soil organisms, including earthworms, are a key component of terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about their diversity, their distribution, and the threats affecting them. We compiled a global dataset of sampled earthworm communities from 6928 sites in 57 countries as a basis for predicting patterns in earthworm diversity, abundance, and biomass. We found that local species richness and abundance typically peaked at higher latitudes, displaying patterns opposite to those observed in aboveground organisms. However, high species dissimilarity across tropical locations may cause diversity across the entirety of the tropics to be higher than elsewhere. Climate variables were found to be more important in shaping earthworm communities than soil properties or habitat cover. These findings suggest that climate change may have serious implications for earthworm communities and for the functions they provide.

TL;DR: Introduction of these three genes in Escherichia coli engineered to produce lycopene induced bixin synthesis is introduced, thus expanding the supply of this economically important plant product.
Abstract: Bixin, also known as annatto, is a seed-specific pigment widely used in foods and cosmetics since pre-Columbian times. We show that three genes from Bixa orellana, native to tropical America, govern bixin biosynthesis. These genes code for lycopene cleavage dioxygenase, bixin aldehyde dehydrogenase, and norbixin carboxyl methyltransferase, which catalyze the sequential conversion of lycopene into bixin. Introduction of these three genes in Escherichia coli engineered to produce lycopene induced bixin synthesis, thus expanding the supply of this economically important plant product.

TL;DR: These molecules and the current understanding of their biosynthesis and functions are described and it is shown that the loss of these cleavage enzymes induces the development of axillary branches, indicating that apocarotenoids convey signals that regulate plant architecture.
