Flesh lignification is a specific chilling response that causes deterioration in the quality of stored red-fleshed loquat fruit (Eribotrya japonica) and one aspect wider injury. APETALA2/ETHLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR (AP2/ERF) transcription factors are important regulators plant low-temperature responses lignin biosynthesis. In this study, expression action 27 AP2/ERF genes from cultivar 'Luoyangqing' were investigated order to identify regulating low-temperature-induced lignification. EjERF27,...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) in adolescents is often underdiagnosed, with the current diagnosis predominantly relying on subjective assessment. Sleep disturbance and reduced heart rate variability (HRV) have been typically observed MDD. This study aimed to develop an automatic classification model based nocturnal HRV features identify adolescent Sixty-three subjects, including depressed healthy controls, participated completed a three-night sleep electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring,...

Organisms usually cope with change in the environment by altering dynamic trajectory of gene expression to adjust complement active proteins. The identification particular sets genes whose is adaptive response environmental changes helps understand mechanistic base gene–environment interactions essential for organismic development. We describe a computational framework clustering dynamics distinct environments through Gaussian mixture fitting data measured at set discrete time points....

Two-component system (TCS), which comprises histidine kinases (HKs), phosphotransfer proteins (HPs), and response regulators (RRs), plays essential roles in regulating plant growth, development, to various environmental stimuli. TCS genes have been comprehensively identified plants, while studies on the genome-wide identification analysis of sweet potato were still not reported. Therefore, this study, a total 90 members consisting 20 HK(L)s, 11 HPs, 59 RRs genome Ipomoea batatas....

The Escherichia coli NarL protein is a global gene regulatory factor that activates transcription at many target promoters in response to nitrate and nitrite ions. Although most NarL-dependent are also co-dependent on second factor, FNR protein, two targets, the yeaR ogt promoters, activated by alone with no involvement of FNR. Biochemical genetic studies presented here show activation promoter dependent binding single centred position -43.5, whereas requires tandem DNA targets -45.5 -78.5....

Texture attributes such as firmness and lignification are important for fruit quality. Lignification has been widely studied in model plants energy crops, but rarely investigated, despite having an adverse effect on quality consumer preference. Chilling-induced loquat that occurs after harvest can be alleviated by heat treatment (HT) applied prior to low temperature storage. Enzyme activity assay showed HT could retard the temperature-induced increase cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD)...

Salt stress can cause cellular dehydration, which induces oxidative by increasing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants. They may play signaling roles and structural damages to cells. To overcome negative impacts, plant ROS scavenging system plays a vital role maintaining redox homeostasis. The special sugar beet apomictic monosomic additional M14 line (BvM14) showed strong salt tolerance. Comparative proteomics revealed that six antioxidant enzymes (glycolate oxidase...

The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors play crucial roles in plant resistance to environmental challenges, but the biological functions of soybean bZIP members are still unclear. In this study, a drought-related gene, GmTRAB1, was analyzed. transcript GmTRAB1 upregulated under drought, ABA, and oxidative stresses. Overexpression improved osmotic stress tolerance transgenic Arabidopsis hairy roots associated with increased proline content activity antioxidant enzymes reduced...

Induction of the Escherichia coli K-12 ynfEFGHI operon in response to anaerobiosis is repressed by nitrate ions. In this study, we show that global transcription factor FNR a class II activator at promoter and NarL represses activation binding single target overlaps -10 element. Electromobility shift assays does not prevent RNA polymerase suggest repression may involve quaternary NarL-FNR-RNA polymerase-promoter complex.

Abstract Objectives This work intended to identify candidate C2H2 genes participating in low-temperature conditioning (LTC)-alleviated postharvest chilling injury of peach fruit. Materials and Methods For LTC treatment, fruit were pre-stored at 10 °C for 5 d then transferred 0 storage. Fruit firmness was measured by a hardness tester. H2O2 content determined luminosity measurement model using multifunctional enzyme labeler. Identification family members performed HMMSCAN according genome....

Fruit pubescence (trichome) is an important characteristic and controlled by a single dominant gene (G/g), resulting in peaches nectarines. The length and/or density of fruit fuzz varies greatly among different peach cultivars. However, little known about trichome development peaches. In this study, significant differences were identified between ‘XT1’ its bud mutation ‘BM’, showing much higher values for ‘BM’. Comparative transcriptome analysis was performed, 987 differentially expressed...

MicroRNA482 (miR482) is a conserved microRNA family in plants, playing critical regulatory roles different biological activities. Though the members of miR482 gene have been identified systematic study has not reported yet. In present research, 140 mature sequences generated by 106 precursors were used for molecular characterization, phylogenetic analysis, and target prediction, competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network mediated was summarized. The length ranged from 17 nt to 25 nt, with 22...
