Epigenetic modifications are implicated in plant adaptations to abiotic stresses. Exposure of plants one stress can induce resistance other stresses, a process termed cross-adaptation, which is not well understood. In this study, we aimed unravel the epigenetic basis elevated heat-tolerance cold-acclimated Brassica rapa by conducting genome-wide DNA methylation analysis leaves from control (CK) and (CA) plants. We found that both demethylation occurred during cold acclimation. Two...
Phyllostachys nigra has green young culms (S1) and purple black mature (S4). Anthocyanins are the principal pigment responsible for color presentation in ornamental plants. We employ a multi-omics approach to investigate regulatory mechanisms of anthocyanins Ph. nigra. Firstly, we found that pigments culm accumulated only one four layers cells below epidermis. The levels total flavonoids gradually increased during process bamboo formation. Metabolomics analysis indicated predominant...
Tea is considered to be a well-known and widely consumed beverage Hunan province rich in tea plant germplasm. In order better conserve utilize resources, 110 accessions from seven geographical origins were used assess genetic diversity of germplasm through genotyping by sequencing (GBS) technology. As result, total 311,044 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers obtained. Population structure, phylogenetic relationships principal component analysis (PCA) divided the entire...
Theobromine is an important quality component in tea plants (Camellia sinensis), which produced from 7-methylxanthine by theobromine synthase (CsTbS), the key rate-limiting enzyme biosynthetic pathway. Our transcriptomics and widely targeted metabolomics analyses suggested that CsMYB114 acted as a potential hub gene involved regulation of biosynthesis. The inhibition expression using antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) led to 70.21% reduction level leaves plant, verified involvement...
Abstract Extreme high temperature has deleterious impact on the yield and quality of tea production, which aroused attention growers breeders. However, mechanisms by plant varieties respond to extreme environmental heat is not clear. In this study, we analyzed physiological indices, metabolites transcriptome differences in three different heat-tolerant F1 hybrid progenies. Results showed that antioxidant enzyme activity, proline, malondialdehyde were significantly decreased heat-sensitive...
Fertilization is an essential aspect of tea plantation management that supports a sustainable production and drastically influences soil microbial communities. However, few research studies have focused on the differences communities variation in quality response to different fertilization treatments. In this work, fertility, quality, were investigated two domestic plantations following application chemical organic fertilizers. We determined content mineral elements soil, including nitrogen,...
'Zijuan' (Camellia sinensis var. assamica), a somatic mutant with purple foliage and stem selected from the Yunnan Daye cultivar, has been well developed owing to abnormal pattern of anthocyanin accumulation. However, genetic basis for specific accumulation phloem glycosides is not clear. Tea plants are self-incompatible, so parents large differences in color were used crosses investigate mechanism anthocyanins. In this study, green cultivar 'Fudingdabaicha' (C. sinensis) as female male...
Hunan located at the evolutionary transitional zone edge of Yunnan-Guizhou plateau, tea germplasms are abundant. At present, although morphological, enzymological and molecular markers have been used to study genetic relationship these germplasms. However, due complexity background germplasm resources, evolution history taxonomy is still unclear. In this study, four landraces from were collected, including 9 'Chengbu Dongcha' (CBDC), 8 'Jianghua Kucha' (JHKC), 11 'Rucheng Baimao' (RCBM)...
MADS-box genes form a large gene family in plants and are involved multiple biological processes, such as flowering. However, the regulation mechanism of flowering remains unresolved, especially under short-term cold conditions. In present study, we isolated BcMAF1, Pak-choi (Brassica rapa ssp. Chinensis) MADS AFFECTING FLOWERING (MAF), floral repressor functionally characterized BcMAF1 Arabidopsis Pak-choi. Subcellular localization sequence analysis indicated that was nuclear protein...
Copper is a mineral element, which necessary for the normal growth and development of plants, but high levels copper will seriously damage plants. Studies have shown that
Abstract Caffeine, a primary flavor component in tea, has been the subject of intense research. With goal shedding light on complex regulatory processes governing caffeine biosynthesis tea plants, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC–MS), transcriptomics, and small RNA analyses were employed diverse cultivars such as ‘Jianghua Kucha’ [including ‘Xianghong 3’ (XH3H) ‘Kucha (KC3H)], ‘Fuding Dabaicha’ (FDDB), ‘Yaoshan Xiulv’ (YSXL), ‘Bixiangzao’ (BXZ). The results showed...
Zinc finger-homeodomain (ZF-HD) proteins play essential roles in plant growth, development and stress responses. However, knowledge of the expression evolutionary history ZF-HD genes moso bamboo remains limited. In this study, a total 24 were found unevenly distributed on 12 chromosomes (Phyllostachys edulis). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that PeZF-HDs divided into two subfamilies: ZHD MIF. The subfamily further classified seven groups according to their orthologous relationships among...
There are limited studies on the cytology of bamboo leaf development from primordium to maturity. This study delves into morphological characteristics and growth patterns Sasaella kogasensis ‘Aureostriatus’ provides a three-dimensional anatomical analysis cell division, expansion, degradation. Leaves same branch develop bottom-up, while individual leaves other way around. Like shoots culms, follow “slow–fast–slow” pattern, with longitudinal being predominant during their development. The...
Vernalization is an important process that regulates the floral transition in plants. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding small RNA (sRNA) molecules function plant growth and development. Despite miRNAs related to flowering have previously been characterized, their roles response vernalization pak-choi (Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis) has never studied. Here, two sRNA libraries from B. leaves (vernalized non-vernalized plants) were constructed sequenced. Two hundred eight known 535...
In plants, heptahelical proteins (HHPs) have been shown to respond a variety of abiotic stresses, including cold stress. Up the present, regulation mechanism HHP5 under low temperature stress remains unclear. this study, BcHHP5 was isolated from Pak-choi (Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis cv. Suzhouqing). Sequence analysis and phylogenetic indicated that in is similar AtHHP5 Arabidopsis thaliana. Structure showed structure protein relatively stable highly conservative. Subcellular localization...
The cold shock domain proteins (CSPs) play important roles in plant developmental processes and stress responses. Multiple sequence alignments found that these CSPs all have a fragment. Phylogenetic tree analysis most BcCSPs were more closely related to BrCSPs than other crops. Furthermore, we observed the conserved intron/exon structural patterns of CSP genes Pak-choi, Chinese cabbage Arabidopsis, motif be among several boxes subgroups. Comparative expression Arabidopsis suggest various...
