ABSTRACT Low temperatures during rice ( Oryza sativa L.) pollen development cause sterility and decreased grain yield. We show that the time of highest sensitivity to cold coincides with peak tapetal activity: transition tetrad early uni‐nucleate stage (young microspore, YM stage). at this result in an accumulation sucrose anthers, accompanied by activity cell wall bound acid invertase depletion starch mature grains. Expression analysis two OSINV1, 4 ) one vacuolar OSINV2 genes showed OSINV4...

Citrus flavonoids are considered as the important secondary metabolites because of their biological and pharmacological activities. Chalcone synthase (CHS) is a key enzyme that catalyses first committed step in flavonoid biosynthetic pathway. CHS genes have been isolated characterized many plants. Previous studies indicated gene superfamily. In citrus, number members contribution to production remains mystery. our previous study, copies CitCHS2 were found different citrus species sequences...

Limonoids produced by citrus are a group of highly bioactive secondary metabolites which provide health benefits for humans. Currently there is lack information derived from research on the genetic mechanisms controlling biosynthesis limonoids, has limited improvement high production limonoids. In this study, transcriptome sequences leaves, phloems and seeds pummelo (Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck) at different development stages with variances in limonoids contents were used digital gene...

Abstract Background Limonoids are major bioactive compounds that produced by the triterpenoid metabolic pathway. The detailed biochemical process of limonoid biosynthesis and mechanism its molecular regulation remain elusive. identification transcription factors regulate biosynthetic pathways is very important for understanding underlying regulatory mechanisms. This information could also provide tools manipulating genes to modulate production. Results In this study, CiMYB42 factor was...

Vegetable oils high in oleic acid are considered to be advantageous because of their better nutritional value and potential industrial applications. The content the classic safflower oil is normally 10-15% while a natural mutant (ol) accumulates elevated up 70% seed oil. As part our investigation into molecular features (HO) trait we have profiled microRNA (miRNA) populations developing seeds expressing ol allele comparison wild type linoleic (HL) using deep sequencing technology. small RNA...

Abstract The most damaging citrus diseases are Huanglongbing (HLB) and canker, which caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CaLas) Xanthomonas citri pv. (Xcc), respectively. Endolysins from bacteriophages a possible option for disease resistance in plant breeding. Here, we report improvement of to HLB canker using the LasLYS1 LasLYS2 endolysins CaLas. demonstrated bactericidal efficacy against several Rhizobiaceae bacteria Xcc, according inhibition zone analyses. two genes, driven...

Background As a by product of higher value cotton fibre, seed has been increasingly recognised to have excellent potential as source additional food, feed, biofuel stock and even renewable platform for the production many diverse biological molecules agriculture industrial enterprises. The large size difference between cotyledon embryo axis that make up results in under-representation gene transcript levels whole samples. Therefore, determination cotyledons axes separately should lead better...

Selection of rootstock is very important for citrus production. Besides its major role on resistance, the also can affect fruit production and quality. Currently, main concerns selection are compatibility due to less information impacts performance scion varieties. This study aims provide performances navel orange varieties different rootstocks. Three late-ripening (Citrus sinensis var. Powell, Chislett Banfield) grafted seven rootstocks (Swingle citrumelo (C. paradisi×P. trifoliata),...

The protective effects of the topical application orange peel cold-pressed oil (CPO), a rich polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) source, on ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced skin injury were studied. Depilated KM mice irradiated by UVB at one minimal erythemal dose every day and treated groups smeared with CPO before radiation. After two weeks we found that helped to maintain dermal structure enhanced serum levels tissue expression superoxide dismutase, catalase glutathione peroxidase. In lowered...

Morphogenesis of root is a vital factor to determine the system architecture. Cytokinin response regulators (RRs) are key transcription factors in cytokinin signaling, which play important roles regulating morphogenesis. In this study, 29 RR proteins, including 21 RRs and 8 pseudo RRs, were identified from genome citrus, termed as CcRR1-21 CcPRR1-8, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that CcRRs could be classified into four types according their representative domains. Analysis...
