Abstract Synthesis of melatonin in mitochondria was reported animals. However, there is no report on whether plant also produce melatonin. Herein, we show that are a major site for synthesis. In an vitro study, isolated apple had the capacity to generate Subcellular localization analysis documented SNAT isoform, MzSNAT5, localized both Arabidopsis protoplasts and callus cells. The kinetic revealed recombinant MzSNAT5 protein exhibited high enzymatic activity catalyze serotonin N...
Abstract Melatonin is a potent naturally occurring reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) and nitrogen RNS scavenger in plants. protects plants from oxidative stress and, therefore, it improves their tolerance against variety of environmental abiotic stressors. N‐acetylserotonin‐O‐methyltransferase ASMT specific enzyme required for melatonin synthesis. In this report, an gene was cloned apple rootstock Malus zumi Mats) designated as Mz 1 KJ 123721). The expression induced by drought leaves....
Within the chloroplasts reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during photosynthesis and stressful conditions. Excessive ROS damages reduces if not properly detoxified. In this current study, we document that produce melatonin, a recently-discovered plant antioxidant molecule. When N-acetylserotonin, substrate for melatonin synthesis, was fed to purified chloroplasts, they produced in dose-response manner. To further confirm function of terminal enzyme...
Summary Dwarfing rootstocks enable high‐density planting and are therefore highly desirable in modern apple ( Malus domestica ) production. M26 is a semi‐dwarfing rootstock that used worldwide, but identifying intensive dwarfing major goal of breeding programs. Herein, we show Md WRKY 9 mediates by directly inhibiting the transcription brassinosteroid BR rate‐limiting synthetase DWF 4 reducing We found transcriptional factor expressed all tested rootstocks. Transgenic lines overexpressing...
Waterlogging, one of the notorious abiotic stressors, retards growth apple plants and reduces their production. Thus, it is an urgent agenda for scientists to identify suitable remedies this problem. In current study, we found that melatonin significantly improved tolerance seedlings against waterlogging stress. This was indicated by reduced chlorosis wilting after applications either leaf spray or root irrigation. The mechanisms involve in functions maintain aerobic respiration, preserves...
Brassinolide (BL) mediates various physiological processes and improves plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. However, the effects mechanism of exogenous BL on salt apple seedlings remain unclear. Herein, we investigated role in stress response Malus hupehensis Rehd., a widely grown rootstock. Salt-stressed showed significant decline chlorophyll content photosynthetic rate, application 0.2 mg/L alleviated maintained capacity. Exogenous can strengthen activities superoxide dismutase catalase...
Glomerella leaf spot (GLS), a fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum fructicola, severely affects apple quality and yield, yet few resistance genes have been identified in (Malus domestica Borkh.). Here we found transcription factor MdWRKY17 significantly induced C. fructicola infection the susceptible cultivar "Gala." overexpressing transgenic "Gala" plants exhibited increased susceptibility to whereas RNA-interference showed opposite phenotypes, indicating acts as plant during infection....
The LiCoO2 is re-synthesized from spent lithium ion batteries by a simple process combined with vacuum-assisted heat-treating and solid state reaction at 750°C. can be fully discharged in 1wt.% NaCl solution without the leakage of case. results show that product after two times heat-treatment mainly contains Co3O4. shows reversible capacity 106.8 mAh g-1 almost no degradation 20 charge/discharge cycles. relative low ascribed to large particle size raw material Co3O4, which optimized...
Abstract Melatonin regulates the seasonal reproduction in photoperiodic sensitive animals. Its function plants has not been extensively studied. In current study, effects of melatonin on apple tree flowering have systematically investigated. For consecutive 2‐year monitoring, it was found that always associated with drop level tree. application before postponed a dose‐dependent manner. The increased levels at suitable range also resulted more flowering. data indicated similar to animals,...
In recent years, the application of large amounts potash fertilizer in apple orchards leads to worsening KCl stress. Strigolactone (SL), as a novel phytohormone, reportedly participates plant tolerance NaCl and drought stresses. However, underlying mechanism effects exogenous SL on stress seedlings remain unclear. We sprayed different concentrations Malus hupehensis Rehd. under measured physiological indexes like, photosynthetic parameter, content ROS, osmolytes mineral element. addition,...
Deciphering the mechanism of malate accumulation in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) fruits can help to improve their flavor quality and enhance benefits for human health. Here, we analyzed content as a quantitative trait that is determined mainly by genetic effects. In previous study, identified an R2R3-MYB transcription factor named MdMYB44 was candidate gene qtl08.1 (quantitative locus mapped chromosome 8) fruit content. present established negatively regulates repressing promoter activity...
Salinity-alkalinity stress can remarkably affect the growth and yield of apple. Strigolactone (SL) is a class carotenoid-derived compounds that functions in tolerance. However, effects mechanism exogenous SL on salinity-alkalinity tolerance apple seedlings remain unclear. Here, we assessed effect response Malus hupehensis seedlings. Results showed treatment with 100 μM analog (GR24) could effectively alleviate higher chlorophyll content photosynthetic rate than without GR24 treatment. The...
Water deficit severely reduces apple growth and production, is detrimental to fruit quality size. This problem exacerbated as global warming implicated in producing more severe drought stress. Thus water-efficiency has becomes the major target for breeding. A desired tree can absorb transport water efficiently, which not only confers improved tolerance, but also guarantees size higher income returns. Aquaporins, channels, control transportation across membranes regulate flow by changing...
Synthetic melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, MT) is popular in the US and Asian markets as a health supplement. Here, we identified naturally occurring source apple juice. Melatonin was present all 18 cultivars tested. The highest level of edible part detected peel. content 'Fuji' juice comparable to its flesh. consumed during process juicing due interaction with oxidants. addition significantly reduced color change brown (browning). mechanism that scavenges free radicals, which...
Abstract Overuse of fungicides and fertilizers has resulted in copper (Cu) contamination soils toxic levels Cu apple fruits. To breed Cu-resistant ( Malus domestica ) cultivars, the underlying molecular mechanisms key genes involved resistance must be identified. Here, we show that MdWRKY11 increases tolerance by directly promoting transcription MdHMA5 . is a transporter may function storage excess root cell walls stems for apple. The factor highly induced Cu. overexpression transgenic...
Large amounts of potash fertilizer are often applied to apple (Malus domestica) orchards enhance fruit quality and yields, but this treatment aggravates KCl-based salinity stress. Melatonin (MT) is involved in a variety abiotic stress responses plants. However, its role KCl tolerance still unknown. In the present study, we determined that an appropriate concentration (100 μm) MT significantly alleviated Malus hupehensis by enhancing K+ efflux out cells compartmentalizing vacuoles....
Background Plants are unavoidably subjected to various abiotic stressors, including high salinity, drought and low temperature, which results in water deficit even death. Water uptake transportation play a critical role response these stresses. Many aquaporin proteins, localized at different tissues, function transmembrane movements. We targeted the key charge of both roots radial from vascular tissues through whole plant. Results The MzPIP2;1 gene encoding plasma membrane intrinsic protein...
