Stench in the attic.
Unexplored for many years.
So, what is that stench?

Hurries undead to their lunch

#Pungency was the taste of food commonly referred to as spiciness, hotness or heat, found in foods such as chili peppers. Highly pungent tastes may be experienced as unpleasant.

Yoshiyuki Tanaka opens the 3rd day at #SOL2024 with a “hot” presentation about #capsaicin biosynthesis in #pepper. 2 proteins are responsible for its synthesis: VAMT and PUN1. Allele variation on these genes produces different content in capsaicin and capsacinoid, and different #pungency.
