To identify suitable potassium fertilizers for grape (Vitis vinifera L.) production and study their mechanism of action, the effects four potassium-containing (complex fertilizer, nitrate, sulfate, dihydrogen phosphate) on sugar organic acid metabolism in fruits were investigated. Potassium-containing increased activity metabolism-related enzymes at all stages fruit development. During later development, total soluble solid content different fractions decreased titratable fractions. At...

Ethylene response factor (ERF) gene family plays an important role in abiotic stress responses. In this study, we isolated a salt-inducible ERF gene, ERF38 (Potri.006G138900.1), from the 84K poplar (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa) and investigated its functions salt osmotic tolerance. We identified that protein was targeted to nucleus had no self-activation. Results yeast-one-hybrid indicated can specifically bind dehydration responsive element (DRE). then successfully transferred into...

In this study, we demonstrate that red light is the most critical component for promoting healthy maize growth during Fusarium verticillioides infection. Red receptors PHYTOCHROME B (PHYB) and C (PHYC) play essential roles in defense against pathogen. Overexpression of PHYC enhances resistance to F. verticillioides. Additionally, identified two defense-related gene networks some metabolites reliant on PHYCs, involving key contributors such as WRKY transcription factors like histamine...

RXLR effectors are pathogenic factors secreted from oomycetes to manipulate the immunity of host. Typical contain an RXLR-dEER motif at N-terminus, whereas atypical RXLRs show variations on this motif. The oomycete Phytophthora cactorum is known infect over 200 plant species, resulting in significant agricultural economic losses. Although genome-wide identification and functional analyses typical P. have been performed, little PcaRXLRs. Here, we identified RXLRs, both atypical, compared them...

The occurrence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the colonization necrotrophic pathogens attacking fruit is critical attack, but its importance in Penicillium expansum remains unclear. This study aimed to determine regulatory effects NADPH oxidase (Nox) genes on growth and pathogenicity P. apple fruits. Deletion mutants Δ PeNoxA , PeNoxR PeRacA were constructed contribution process. strain had a significant effect reduction pathogenicity, negatively regulated development did not show...

To investigate the mechanisms of phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated calcium (Ca2+) signaling in Alternaria alternata, regulatory roles PLC were elucidated using neomycin, a specific inhibitor activity. Three isotypes designated AaPLC1, AaPLC2, and AaPLC3 identified A. alternata through genome sequencing. qRT-PCR analysis showed that fruit wax extracts significantly upregulated expression all three genes vitro. Pharmacological experiments neomycin treatment led to dose-dependent reduction spore...

Extreme environments, especially drought and high salt conditions, seriously affect plant growth development. Ethylene-responsive factor (ERF) transcription factors play an important role in stress response. In this study, a significantly upregulated ERF gene was identified 84K (Populus alba × P. glandulosa), which named PagERF072. PagERF072 confirmed to be nuclear-localized protein. The results of yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay showed that protein exhibited no self-activating activity,...

Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (common ice plant) is a halophyte species that has adapted to extreme conditions. In this study, we cloned McHB7 transcription factor gene from the plant. The expression of was significantly induced by 500 mM NaCl and it reached peak under salt treatment for 7 days. protein targeted nucleus. McHB7-overexpressing in plant leaves through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation led 25 times more transcripts than non-transformed wild type (WT). After days, activities...

Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (common ice plant) is one of the facultative halophyte plants, and it serves as a model for investigating molecular mechanisms underlying its salt stress response tolerance. Here we cloned homeobox transcription factor (TF) genes, McHB7, from plant, which has 60% similarity with Arabidopsis AtHB7. Overexpression McHB7 in (OE) showed that plants had significantly elevated relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll content, superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase...
