Ultrasonic Degradation Improves the In Vitro Utilization of Oolong Tea Pectic Polysaccharides: Structure Characterization and Multi-Omics Insights

Pectic polysaccharides from tea residues represent a promising class of prebiotic dietary fibers. This study aimed to optimize the extraction of Oolong tea (Camellia sinensis ‘Foshou’) polysaccharides (FCTP), elucidate the structural alterations induced by ultrasonic degradation,...

Stress recovery effects of visual exposure to bamboo landscapes in urban parks: Evidence from physiological and psychological responses

Interactions with bamboo forests and bamboo parks are known to support human health, yet the stress-recovery effects of bamboo landscapes in urban parks remain insufficiently explored. This study examined psychophysiological responses to bamboo landscapes compared with an urban b...

Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis Following LmRab11A Knockdown Reveals Its Role in Metabolic Regulation and Molting in Locusta migratoria

Rab proteins are key members of the Ras superfamily that regulate vesicular trafficking in eukaryotic cells, ensuring accurate cargo transport and cellular homeostasis. To investigate the functional role of Rab proteins, RNA interference (RNAi) was employed to silence LmRab11A in...

Biochar Effects on Soil Chemical Properties, Microbial Communities, Tea Quality and Yield in a Strongly Acidic Tea Plantation: A Field Study

Soil acidification severely threatens soil health, tea quality and yield in tea plantations, making it essential to use appropriate soil amendments to address this issue. Biochar can enhance the agricultural soil environment, but its effects on microbial communities, soil fertili...
