Summary Dwarfing rootstocks enable high‐density planting and are therefore highly desirable in modern apple ( Malus domestica ) production. M26 is a semi‐dwarfing rootstock that used worldwide, but identifying intensive dwarfing major goal of breeding programs. Herein, we show Md WRKY 9 mediates by directly inhibiting the transcription brassinosteroid BR rate‐limiting synthetase DWF 4 reducing We found transcriptional factor expressed all tested rootstocks. Transgenic lines overexpressing...
Glomerella leaf spot (GLS), a fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum fructicola, severely affects apple quality and yield, yet few resistance genes have been identified in (Malus domestica Borkh.). Here we found transcription factor MdWRKY17 significantly induced C. fructicola infection the susceptible cultivar "Gala." overexpressing transgenic "Gala" plants exhibited increased susceptibility to whereas RNA-interference showed opposite phenotypes, indicating acts as plant during infection....
ABSTRACT Drought is a major threat to alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) production. The discovery of important genes regulating drought response will facilitate breeding for drought‐resistant cultivars. Here, we report genome‐wide association study resistance in alfalfa. We identified and functionally characterized an MYB‐like transcription factor gene MsMYBH ), which increases the Compared with wild‐types, biomass forage quality were enhanced overexpressed plants. Combined RNA‐seq, proteomics...
Abstract Melatonin regulates the seasonal reproduction in photoperiodic sensitive animals. Its function plants has not been extensively studied. In current study, effects of melatonin on apple tree flowering have systematically investigated. For consecutive 2‐year monitoring, it was found that always associated with drop level tree. application before postponed a dose‐dependent manner. The increased levels at suitable range also resulted more flowering. data indicated similar to animals,...
Synthetic melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, MT) is popular in the US and Asian markets as a health supplement. Here, we identified naturally occurring source apple juice. Melatonin was present all 18 cultivars tested. The highest level of edible part detected peel. content 'Fuji' juice comparable to its flesh. consumed during process juicing due interaction with oxidants. addition significantly reduced color change brown (browning). mechanism that scavenges free radicals, which...
Abstract Overuse of fungicides and fertilizers has resulted in copper (Cu) contamination soils toxic levels Cu apple fruits. To breed Cu-resistant ( Malus domestica ) cultivars, the underlying molecular mechanisms key genes involved resistance must be identified. Here, we show that MdWRKY11 increases tolerance by directly promoting transcription MdHMA5 . is a transporter may function storage excess root cell walls stems for apple. The factor highly induced Cu. overexpression transgenic...
SUMMARY Drought stress severely limits plant growth and production in apple ( Malus domestica Borkh.). To breed water‐deficit‐tolerant cultivars that maintain high yields under slight or moderate drought stress, it is important to uncover the mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulation of chlorophyll metabolism apple. explore this mechanism, we generated transgenic ‘Gala3’ plants with overexpression knockdown MdWRKY17 , which encodes a transcription factor whose expression significantly...
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is one of the most important forage legumes in world, including autotetraploid (M. ssp. sativa) and diploid alfalfa caerulea, progenitor alfalfa). Here, we reported a high-quality genome ZW0012 (diploid alfalfa, 769 Mb, contig N50 = 5.5 Mb), which was grouped into Northern group population structure analysis, suggesting that our assembly filled major gap among members M. complex. During polyploidization, large phenotypic differences occurred between diploids...
Abstract Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) biosynthesis in plants is induced by darkness and high-intensity light; however, the underlying transcriptional mechanisms upstream signalling pathways are unknown. We identified a dark-induced highly expressed melatonin synthetase Arabidopsis thaliana, AtSNAT6, encoding serotonin N-acetyltransferase. assessed content AtSNAT6 expression mutants lacking key regulators of light/dark signalling. AtCOP1 (CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1) AtHY5...
Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is used as forage and contains a high level of isoflavonoids. Although isoflavonoids in red were discovered long time ago, the transcriptional regulation isoflavonoid biosynthesis virtually unknown because lack accurate comprehensive characterization transcriptome. Here, we combination long-read (PacBio Iso-Seq) short-read (Illumina) RNAseq sequencing to develop more full-length transcriptome four tissues (root, stem, leaf, flower) identify transcription...
