Abstract Background WRKY proteins are a large family of transcriptional regulators in higher plant. They involved many biological processes, such as plant development, metabolism, and responses to biotic abiotic stresses. Prior the present study, only one full-length cucumber protein had been reported. The recent publication draft genome sequence allowed us conduct genome-wide search for proteins, compare these positively identified with their homologs model plants, Arabidopsis . Results We...
As natural plant growth stimulators, amino acids are widely used to improve the yield and quality of crops. Several studies have illustrated effects different on lettuce parts. However, applying single root remain elusive. The objective this study was evaluate effect application L-methionine lettuce. In study, two successive experiments butterhead were conducted under hydroponic conditions. Three acids, (20 mg/L), L-glycine (210 L-tryptophan (220 applied separately. significantly increased...
Low light (LL) is one of the main limiting factors that negatively affect tomato growth and yield. Techniques chemical regulation are effective horticultural methods to improve stress resistance. Strigolactones (SLs), newly discovered phytohormones, considered as important regulators physiological responses. We investigated effects foliage spray GR24, a synthesized SLs, on seedlings grown under LL conditions. The results showed application GR24 effectively mitigated inhibition plant...
Nitrogen (N) is both an important macronutrient and a signal for plant growth development. However, the early regulatory mechanism of plants in response to N starvation not well understood, especially cucumber, economically crop that normally consumes excessive during production. In this study, time-course transcriptome cucumber leaves under deficiency was monitored using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). More than 23,000 transcripts were examined leaves, which 364 genes differentially expressed...
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are non-haem iron-containing dioxygenases that catalyse oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and lipids to initiate the formation a group biologically active compounds called oxylipins. Plant oxylipins play important diverse functions in cells. In current study, expression analysis during cucumber development using semi-quantitative RT-PCR revealed 13 23 CsLOX genes were detectable, tissue specific or preferential accumulation. total, 12 found be differentially...
The alternation of terrestrial and marine deposits is an indicator past environmental sea‐level changes. age deposition usually dated by means radiocarbon. However, radiocarbon dates molluscan shells from coastal areas may be complicated various sources carbon, problematic for 40–50 ka or older. Herein, we apply the Optically Stimulated Luminescence ( OSL ) dating method to date samples marine/coastal sediments extracted three cores in south B ohai S ea, C hina. Multiple‐ single‐aliquot...
Abstract The Bohai Basin was transformed to an inner shelf sea hundreds of thousands years ago. This youngest land-sea transition participated in the significant modification distribution fresh water, sediment fluxes and climate East Asia played important role origin Asian marginal seas. Here we present results a magnetostratigraphic investigation propose conceptual model for transition. Our findings indicate that probably started several million ago, from fluvial system during late Miocene...
Hot pepper ( Capsicum annuum cv. Battle) was grown in a 1:1 v/v sand-to-cotton stalk compost and subjected to four irrigation treatments: 100% of water-holding capacity (control) 85%, 70%, 55% capacity, which were considered deficit treatments. All treatments given the plants at first day transplanting continued during whole growing season. Our results demonstrated that had negative effect on plant growth yield. Increasing deficiency exhibited reduction vegetative growth, fruit parameters,...
Excessive application of fertilizers has become a major issue in croplands intensive agricultural systems China, resulting severe non-point source pollution; thus, reduction the use chemical received significant attention. Improving nutrient storage capacity soils or substrates is an effective approach for solving this problem. Humic acids (HA) are excellent soil conditioners. Thus, present study, their ability to improve physico-chemical properties three with different textures was...
Chlorine (Cl) is an essential nutrient for higher plants, playing a critical role in their growth and development. However, excessive Cl application can be detrimental, leading to its limited use controlled-environment agriculture. Recently, has been recognized as beneficial macronutrient, yet studies investigating impact on plant fruit quality remain scarce. In this study, we determined the optimal concentration solutions through series of cultivation experiments. A comparative analysis...
Abstract: Two robust precipitation reconstructions were conducted by combining tree‐ring chronologies, dryness/wetness indices from historical documents, and climate data the global grid. It was found that recurrent drought history of a region can help us understand variability precipitation. Several dry/wet periods during past four centuries potential cycles variation determined. Furthermore, are not only consistent well with each other in North‐central China, but also good agreement...
Cucumber, a widely cultivated vegetable, is mostly grown under greenhouse conditions. In recent years, the overuse of inorganic fertilizers for higher yield attainment adversely has affected human health and environment. Therefore, experiment was designed to evaluate effects different nutrient sources (poultry manure (PM) mineral fertilizer (MF)) on productivity-enhancing parameters cucumber via univariate multivariate analyses. Amounts PM MF (NPK15:15:15) were added coco-peat per cubic...
The groundwater environment in low-lying coastal regions is significantly impacted by global sea-level fluctuation. In Laizhou Bay, three large-scale transgressions have occurred since the late Pleistocene, resulting transformation of ancient seawater into brine. This brine has become a major contributor to salinity area. study establishes correlation between occurrence and paleoclimate changes Bay using borehole sediment data. source mechanism are analyzed based on pore water...
Tomato flower abscission is a critical agronomic problem directly affecting yield. It often occurs in greenhouses winter, with the weak light or hazy weather leading to insufficient photosynthates. The importance of carbohydrate availability retention has been illustrated, while relatively little understood concerning mechanism regulation on abscission. In present study, we analyzed responding pattern nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC, including total soluble sugars and starch) potential...
Soilless cultivation is an important alternative to traditional agriculture and facilitates harvest by allowing for the precise control of plant nutrients maximize vegetable production uniform fruits. Nutrient solution concentration a critical factor affecting nutrient supply in soilless cultivation. Although some concentrations throughout growth cycle tomatoes have been developed, there are limited studies on at different phenological stages. Hence, we studied effects stages physiology,...
Low light (LL) stress adversely affects plant growth and productivity. The role of exogenous sucrose in enhancing LL tolerance was investigated by spraying on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) leaves. This study employed physiological molecular approaches to identify the underlying mechanisms. Exogenous activated hydrolysis-related enzyme activity upregulated genes encoding hexose transporters mature leaves, decreasing endogenous levels promoting unloading during LL. Stem-related associated...
