Summary Spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS) using topical dsRNA applications has risen as a promising, target‐specific, and environmentally friendly disease management strategy against phytopathogenic fungi. However, stability, efficacy, scalability are still the main constraints facing SIGS broader application. Here we show that Escherichia coli ‐derived anucleated minicells can be utilized cost‐effective, scalable platform for production encapsulation. We demonstrated minicell‐encapsulated...
Proline metabolism influences the metabolic and/or signaling pathway in regulating plant stress responses. This study aimed to characterize physiological significance of glutamate (Glu)-mediated proline drought responses, focusing on hormonal regulatory pathway. The responses cytosolic Ca2+ signaling, metabolism, and redox components exogenous application Glu well-watered or drought-stressed plants were interpreted relation endogenous hormone status their genes. Drought-enhanced level...
This study aimed to directly elucidate cultivar variation in disease susceptibility and responses relation hormonal status the interaction of Brassica napus cultivars Xanthomonas campetris pv. campestris (Xcc), causal agent black rot disease. Fully expanded leaves six B. (cvs. Capitol, Youngsan, Saturnin, Colosse, Tamra, Mosa) were inoculated with Xcc. At 14 d post-inoculation (dpi) Xcc, or resistance was interpreted defense as estimated by redox status, defensive metabolites, expression...

Understanding the biochemical mechanisms underlying bud dormancy and bloom time regulation in deciduous woody perennials is critical for devising effective strategies to protect these species from spring frost damage. This study investigated accumulation profiles of carbohydrates, ROS antioxidants during 'Cripps Pink' 'Honeycrisp', two apple cultivars representing early late cultivars, respectively. Our data showed that starch levels generally declined dormancy, whereas soluble sugars...
Spring frosts exacerbated by global climate change have become a constant threat to temperate fruit production. Delaying the bloom date plant growth regulators (PGRs) has been proposed as practical frost avoidance strategy. Ethephon is an ethylene-releasing PGR found delay in several species, yet its use often coupled with harmful effects, limiting applicability commercial tree Little information available regarding mechanisms which ethephon influences blooming and bud dormancy. This study...
To characterize cultivar variation in resistance gene (R-gene)-mediated calcium signaling and hormonal regulation effector-triggered immunity (ETI) disease susceptibility, Xanthomonas campestris pv. (Xcc) was inoculated two Brassica napus cultivars (cvs. Capitol Mosa). At 14 days post inoculation (DPI) with Xcc, there a necrotic lesion cv. Mosa along the significant accumulation of H2O2 malondialdehyde (MDA), whereas no visual symptom observed Capitol. The variations R-gene expressions were...
Preharvest fruit drop is a significant physiological problem that affects numerous commercially apple varieties, including ‘Gala.’ AVG and 1-MCP are two plant growth regulators commonly used to reduce by reducing ethylene synthesis perception, respectively. To optimize yield market acceptance, complete investigation of impacts on quality ‘Gala’ apples required. In this study, four trials were conducted over the course three years determine effects at harvest after cold storage. Our results...
