Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit ripening is accompanied by the degradation of chlorophylls and accumulation carotenoids flavonoids. SlMYB72 belongs to R2R3 MYB subfamily, located in nucleus, possesses transcriptional activator activity. Down-regulation gene produced uneven-colored fruits; that is, dark green spots appeared on immature mature fruits, whereas yellow red fruits. increased chlorophyll accumulation, chloroplast biogenesis development, photosynthesis rate This down-regulation...
The DNA binding with one finger (Dof) proteins, a family of plant-specific transcription factors, are involved in variety plant biological processes. However, little information is available on their involvement fruit ripening. We have characterized 25 MaDof genes from banana (Musa acuminata), designated as MaDof1-MaDof25 Gene expression analysis subjected to different ripening conditions revealed that MaDofs were differentially expressed during stages MaDof10, 23, 24, and ethylene-inducible...
Pepper species (Capsicum spp.) are widely used as food, spice, decoration, and medicine. Despite the recent old-world culinary impact, more than 50 commercially recognized pod types have been recorded worldwide from three taxonomic complexes (A, B, P). The current study aimed to apply a pan-plastome approach resolve plastomic boundaries among those identify effective loci for taxonomical resolution molecular identification of studied species/varieties. High-resolution pan-plastomes five two...
Summary Unicellular and multicellular tomato trichomes function as mechanical chemical barriers against herbivores. Auxin treatment increased the formation of II, V VI type in leaves. The auxin response factor gene SlARF4 , which was highly expressed trichomes, positively regulated auxin‐induced overexpression plants with high densities these exhibited tolerance to spider mites. Two R2R3 MYB genes, SlTHM1 SlMYB52, were directly targeted inhibited by SlARF4. specifically II negatively...
Citrus fruits are cultivated around the world, and they face drought stress frequently during their growth development. Previous studies showed that citrus plants biosynthesized flavonoid compounds in response to abiotic stress. In this study, we have quantified 37 from leaves of three distinct species including sour orange (drought-tolerant), pummelo ‘Majia you pummelo’ (drought-sensitive), lemon (drought-sensitive). The flavonoids consisted 12 flavones, 10 flavonols, 6 flavanones, 5...
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a major tropical fruit, but short postharvest life hampers marketing. The objective of this work to assess the influence novel nanocomposite poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) film and Chitosan (CTS) affect on mango quality while stored at 20 °C. results showed that coating treatment reduced decay rate weight loss mangoes, maintaining good fruit. increased antioxidant capacity mangoes by inhibiting PPO activity increasing enzymes. ACS, ACO, ethylene release...
Abstract Sweet corn rapidly loses its sweetness, along with other nutrients, once it is harvested, which reduces economic value. The present study was conducted to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms by a rapid cooling slurry ice (SI) treatment followed storage at 0 ± 0.5°C extends postharvest quality of sweet relative slower direct 0.5°C. In this study, we found that SI can maintain appearance and inhibit grain shrinkage, respiration, ethylene release. delayed aging regulating expression...
Abstract Fruits are an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet and it is particularly important for fibre, vitamins, trace elements. Improvement in the quality fruit elongation shelf life crucial goals researchers. However, traditional techniques have some drawbacks, such as long period, low efficiency, difficulty modification target genes, which limit progress study. Recently, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 technique was developed has become most...
This study examines ultraviolet-C (UV-C) treatment supplementation as a means of inhibiting the senescence pepino fruit after harvest. Pepino fruits were subjected to 1.5 kJ/m2 UV-C treatments and then packed stored at 10 °C for 28 d. Results showed that had greatest ability maintain firmness, reduced level respiration ethylene production. Further analysis indicated maintained content total soluble solids (TSS), chlorophyll, vitamin C, flavonoids, phenolics. Lower levels malondialdehyde...
The postharvest physiological disorder known as 'black spot' in radish roots (Raphanus sativus) poses a significant challenge to quality maintenance during storage, particularly under summer conditions. cause of this disorder, however, is poorly understood.
Yellowish embryogenic callus, which had been induced from the petioles of alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L. cv. Jinnan) and maintained on kinetin (KN)–containing B5h medium, turned non‐embryogenic with differentiation tracheary elements when KN in medium was replaced by thidiazuron (TDZ). To investigate molecular mechanisms underlying TDZ‐induced morphological competence transition, we cloned differentially expressed sequence tags TDZ‐treated callus using suppression subtractive hybridization....
Folic acid (FA) is a critical metabolite in all living organisms and an important nutritional component of broccoli. Few studies have been conducted on the impact exogenous application FA postharvest physiology fruits vegetables during storage. In this regard, mechanism by which extends quality broccoli unclear.
The aim of this work was to seek a different approach conserving important domestic animals in imminent danger. A Qingyuan partridge chicken embryonic fibroblast line, containing 336 cryovials with 8x10(6) cells each, successfully established from 60 embryos using explant culture and cryopreservation techniques. were morphologically consistent fibroblasts. growth curve typical "S" shape having detention phase, logarithmic plateau phase. population doubling time approximately 72 h. Tests for...
Lodging is one of the major constraints in attaining high yield crop production. Major factors associated with stalk lodging involve morphological traits and anatomical features along chemical composition stem. However, little relevant research has been carried out sorghum, particularly on aspects. In this study, a high-throughput procedure newly developed by our group, nine parameters related to stem regions vascular bundles were generated 58 sorghum germplasm accessions grown two...
