Water deficit is one of the main limiting factors in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) cultivation. Root architecture plays an important role drought tolerance plants; however, research efforts to improve trees have focused on aboveground targets. Due difficulties associated with visualization and data analysis, there currently a poor understanding genetic players molecular mechanisms involved root under conditions. We previously observed that MdMYB88 its paralog MdMYB124 regulate tree...
Abstract Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) are widely distributed in the plant genome and can be methylated. However, whether DNA methylation of MITEs is associated with induced allelic expression drought tolerance unclear. Here, we identified drought-inducible MdRFNR1 (root-type ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase) gene apple (Malus domestica). plays a positive role by regulating redox system, including increasing NADP+ accumulation catalase peroxidase activities...
Drought stress can negatively impact apple fruit quality and yield. Apple microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in tree development, as well biotic tolerance; however, it is largely unknown whether these molecules are involved the drought response. To identify drought-responsive miRNAs Malus, we first examined tolerance of ten F1 progenies R3 (M. × domestica) M. sieversii. We performed Illumina sequencing on pooled total RNA from both drought-tolerant drought-sensitive plants. The results...
SUMMARY Drought significantly limits apple fruit production and quality. Decoding the key genes involved in drought stress tolerance is important for breeding varieties with improved resistance. Here, we identified GRETCHEN HAGEN3.6 (GH3.6), an indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) conjugating enzyme, to be a negative regulator of water‐deficit apple. Overexpressing MdGH3 . 6 reduced IAA content, adventitious root number, length tolerance, whereas knocking down MdGH3.6 its close paralogs increased...
Abstract The evolutionary history of the Malus genus has not been well studied. In current study, we presented genetic evidence on origin based genome sequencing 297 accessions, revealing relationship between wild species and cultivated apples. Our results demonstrated that North American East Asian are closer to outgroup (pear) than Central species, hybrid including natural (separated before Pleistocene, about 2.5 Mya) artificial hybrids (including ornamental trees rootstocks) species....
Drought poses a major threat to apple fruit production and quality. Because of the apple's long juvenile phase, developing varieties with improved drought tolerance using biotechnology approaches is needed. Here, we used RNAi approach knock down six GH3 genes in apple. Under prolonged stress, MdGH3 plants performed better than wild-type had stronger root systems, higher root-to-shoot ratio, greater hydraulic conductivity, increased photosynthetic capacity, water use efficiency. Moreover,...
Symplocos paniculata is a highly desirable oil species for biodiesel and premium edible feedstock. While germplasm preservation breeding are crucial, the severity of seed dormancy poses challenge to successful germination. We employed S. seeds as experimental materials conducted an investigation into types causes by analyzing morphology developmental characteristics its embryo, exploring water permeability property endocarp, examining presence endogenous inhibitors, aiming establish...
The mechanism underlying oil synthesis in plant fruits remains elusive, as sugar metabolism provides the essential carbon skeleton without a clear understanding of its intricate workings. transcriptome and metabolites' content Symplocos paniculate, an extraordinary with immense ecological significance, were subjected to comparative analysis throughout fruit development. findings unveiled that impact on varied distinct stages Remarkably, during initial phase development from 10 90 days after...
772 Background: The aim of this trial was to evaluate the survival benefit adjuvant intraarterial chemotherapy (IAC) in patients who received radical cystectomy (RC) and pathologically confirmed stage IIIA-IIIB bladder urothelial carcinoma. Methods: This a multicenter, randomized study. Patients with (pT3-4 or positive node) disease after RC were randomly assigned (1:1) IAC group observation group. Adjuvant cisplatin gemcitabine (GC) performed through percutaneous catheter system. GC regimen...
Introduction Orobanche coerulescens is a parasitic plant considered as malignant weed due to its harmful effects on crops. However, richness in high-value secondary metabolites makes it significant medicinal resource. The development of microspores and megaspores essential for sexual reproduction plants but research this aspect O. lacking. Methods This study aimed systematically observe the developmental processes using microscopic techniques. We measured levels soluble sugar, starch,...
Grafting, an ancient horticultural cultivation technique, is essential for commercial apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) production. M. prunifolia 'Fupingqiuzi' used as a common rootstock due to its known tolerances abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the genetic origin evolutionary history of are largely unknown, molecular bases underlying innate stress tolerance characteristics ability graft-transmit scion. Here, we present high-quality chromosome-scale genome sequence (2n = 2x 34)...
Water deficit is one of the main limiting factors for apple growth and production. Root architecture plays an important role in drought tolerance plants. However, little known about molecular basis root system trees under drought. In this study, we compared morphology two widely used rootstocks (R3 Malus sieversii) Our results suggested that M. sieversii more tolerant to than R3, since had a higher ratio shoot as well hydraulic conductivity long-term conditions. We then performed...
Symplocos paniculata, asiatic sweetleaf or sapphire berry, is a widespread shrub small tree from Symplocaceae with high oil content and excellent fatty acid composition in fruit. It has been used as feedstocks for biodiesel cooking production China. Little transcriptome information available on the regulatory molecular mechanism of accumulation at different fruit development stages. The four stages (10, 80,140, 170 days after flowering) S. paniculata were analyzed. Approximately 28 million...
Clarified the binding mechanism of drugs with plasma proteins could provide fresh insights into drug development. Caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs) are a kind phenolic acid compounds which has extensive biological effects. This study investigated three CQAs, including chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic and cryptochlorogenic bovine serum albumin (BSA) by using multi-spectroscopic techniques, fluorescence, UV-Vis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, LC-MSn,...
Because of limited supply high-quality water, alternative water sources have been used for irrigation in water-scarce regions. However, waters usually contain high salt levels, which can cause damage on salt-sensitive plants. A greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate the relative tolerance 10 common ornamental taxa saline irrigation. The studied were Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Orange Storm’ and ‘Pink ( Double Take ™ ); Diervilla rivularis ‘G2X885411’, ‘G2X88544’ (Diervilla Kodiak ® , Black,...
