Tomato trichomes act as a mechanical and chemical barrier against pests. An R2R3 MYB transcription factor gene, SlMYB75, is highly expressed in type II, V, VI trichomes. SlMYB75 protein located the nucleus possesses transcriptional activation activity. Down-regulation of increased formation trichomes, accumulation δ-elemene, β-caryophyllene, α-humulene glandular tolerance to spider mites tomato. In contrast, overexpression inhibited trichome sesquiterpene accumulation, plant sensitivity...
Summary Postharvest deterioration is among the major challenges for fruit industry. Regulation of softening rate an effective strategy extending shelf‐life and reducing economic losses due postharvest deterioration. The tomato myoinositol monophosphatase 3 gene SlIMP3 , which showed highest expression level in fruit, was expressed purified. demonstrated high affinity with L‐Gal 1‐P D‐Ins 3‐P, acted as a bifunctional enzyme biosynthesis AsA myoinositol. Overexpression not only improved...
Ascorbic acid (AsA) is a multifunctional phytonutrient that essential for the human diet as well plant development. While much known about AsA biosynthesis in plants, how this process regulated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruits remains unclear. Here, we found auxin treatment inhibited accumulation leaves and pericarps of tomato. The response factor gene SlARF4 induced by to mediate auxin-induced inhibition accumulation. Specifically, transcriptionally inhibits transcription SlMYB11,...
Chaenomeles speciosa (Sweet) Nakai (C. speciosa) is not only a Chinese herbal medicine but also functional food widely planted in China. Its fruits are used to treat many diseases or can be processed into products. This study aims find key metabolic components, distinguish the differences between geographical regions and more medicinal edible values of C. fruits. We ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) targeted metabolomics analysis reveal...
The formation and development of pollen are among the most critical processes for reproduction genetic diversity in life cycle flowering plants. present study found that SlMYB72 was highly expressed tapetum tomato flowers. Downregulation led to a decrease amounts seeds due abnormal compared with wild-type delayed degradation inhibited autophagy anther. Overexpression degradation. Expression levels some autophagy-related genes (ATGs) were decreased downregulated plants increased...
Abstract Kiwifruit is a common and popular fruit around the world. However, white peach scale ( Pseudaulacaspis pentagona [Targioni‐Tozzetti]), insect with wide range of hosts, seriously affects yield quality kiwifruit. To investigate differences in resistance different kiwifruit cultivars to P. pentagona, cellular structure gene expression assays were used explain mechanism. Based on stability infestation rate, we selected four from 50 kiwifruits for in‐depth study, including ‘LC‐04285’,...
