Evidence exists to suggest that melatonin (MT) is important abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Here, we investigated whether exogenous MT reduces heat damage on biological parameters and gene expression kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) seedlings. Pretreatment with alleviates heat-induced oxidative harm through reducing H₂O₂ content increasing proline content. Moreover, application raised ascorbic acid (AsA) levels the activity of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD),...
Anthocyanins and flavonols have vital roles in flower coloration, plant development, defense. Because anthocyanins share the same subcellular localization common biosynthetic substrates, these pathways may compete for substrates. However, mechanism regulating this potential competition remains unclear. Here, we identified GhMYB1a, an R2R3-MYB transcription factor involved regulation of anthocyanin flavonol accumulation gerbera (Gerberahybrida). GhMYB1a shares high sequence similarity with...
Although melatonin was affirmed to alleviate drought stress in various plant species, the mechanism kiwifruit remains be elucidated. In this study, transcriptomes of leaves under control (CK), DR (drought stress), and MTDR plus melatonin) treatments were evaluated. After comparisons gene expression between MTDR, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) screened. Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses indicated three significant pathways, which mainly involved glutathione...
Host-pathogen interactions are highly complex, involving large dynamic changes in gene expression during infection. These fundamental to understanding anti-infection immunity of hosts, as well the pathogenesis pathogens. For bacterial pathogens interacting with animal time-resolved dual RNA-seq infected tissue is difficult perform due low pathogen load tissue. In this study, an acute infection model Larimichthys crocea by Pseudomonas plecoglossicida was established. The spleens fish...
is a frequently consumed leafy vegetable. However, research on its nutritional components limited. This study aimed to explore the variation in and antioxidant capacity of different cultivars organs
Phaseolus vulgaris is a warm-season crop sensitive to low temperatures, which can adversely affect its growth, yield, and market value. Exogenous growth regulators, such as diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6), have shown potential in alleviating stress caused by adverse environmental conditions. However, the effects that DA-6 has on P. plants subjected low-temperature are not well understood. This study aimed investigate impact photosynthesis, antioxidant system, gene expression...
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a thermophilic crop, and exposure to cold stress can significantly impact their yield quality. To elucidate the of on cold-tolerant 'Wei Yuan' (WY) cold-sensitive 'Bai Bu Lao' (BBL) common bean, mechanism tolerance was studied by physiological biochemical multi-omics analysis. In this study, lower relative conductivity higher malondialdehyde content after endowed 'WY' seedlings with tolerance. A total 11,837 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) 923...
Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination severely threatens human health. Therefore, screening and breeding low-Cd absorption cultivars of cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is essential to restrict Cd intake. In this study, a hydroponic experiment was conducted perform comparative transcriptome analysis the leaves two with different contents under stress (0, 10, 50 μM), for purpose exploring differences in transcriptional responses between cultivars. Our results revealed that content HLZ...
Low temperature is a significant factor affecting field-grown pepper. The molecular mechanisms behind peppers' response to cold stress remain unknown. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were used investigate the responses of two pepper cultivars, XS (cold-sensitive) GZ (cold-resistant), stress; these screened from 45 materials. In this study, compared with control group (0 h), we identified 10,931 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in GZ, 657 metabolites (DEMs) positive ion mode, 390...
In China, cadmium (Cd) stress has a significant role in limiting the development and productivity of purple flowering stalks (Brassica campestris var. purpuraria). Exogenous selenium supplementation been demonstrated earlier research to mitigate effects Cd range plant species; nevertheless, physiological molecular processes by which exogenous increases vegetable shoots’ resistance remain unclear. Purple purpuraria) were chosen as study subject examine treatment with sodium selenite (Na2SeO3)...
Melatonin, a pleiotropic small molecule, is employed in horticultural crops to delay senescence and preserve postharvest quality. In this study, 100 µM melatonin treatment delayed decline the color difference index h* a*, maintaining content of chlorophyll carotenoids, thereby delaying yellowing Chinese kale. Transcriptome analysis unequivocally validates melatonin’s efficacy leaf kale stored at 20 °C. Following three-day storage period, group exhibited 1637 differentially expressed genes...
Background Forest litter decomposition is a major component of the global carbon (C) budget, and greatly affected by atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition observed globally. However, effects N addition on forest decomposition, in ecosystems receiving increasingly higher levels ambient deposition, are poorly understood. Methodology/Principal Findings We conducted two-year field experiment five forests along western edge Sichuan Basin China, where was up to 82–114 kg ha–1 study sites. Four...
Abscisic acid (ABA) is an important hormone that can regulate the heavy-metal uptake of plants. In this study, exogenous ABA was applied to lettuce (Lactuca sativa) grown under cadmium (Cd)-stress conditions, and effects on growth Cd accumulation were evaluated. The results showed treatment significantly decreased biomass increased content compared with control. shoot after spraying 1, 5 10 μmol/L ABA, root 1–20 Cd. in shoots when exposed different concentrations. lowest produced by...
In this experiment, four cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator species (Crassocephalum crepidioides, Galinsoga parviflora, Sigesbeckia orientalis, and Solanum nigrum) were intercropped with grape (Vitis vinifera) cuttings together in Cd-containated soil to study the effects of intercropping Cd-hyperaccumulator plants on growth Cd accumulation seedlings. Compared monoculture, S. nigrum increased biomass seedlings, but other three decreased seedling biomass. Intercropping chlorophyll a total contents...
To determine whether grafting increases cadmium (Cd) accumulation in the post-grafting generation of hyperaccumulator plants, effects on Cd characteristics generations a potential Cd-hyperaccumulator Solanum photeinocarpum were evaluated pot and field experiments. The following four combinations examined: ungrafted (UG), self-rooted involving one S. seedling (SG), two developmental stages (DG), wild potato rootstock (PG). Grafting did not induce genetic changes photeinocarpum, increased...
Brassinazole resistant 1 (BZR1), a brassinosteroid (BR) signaling component, plays pivotal role in regulating numerous specific developmental processes. Our study demonstrated that exogenous treatment with 2,4-epibrassinolide (EBR) significantly enhanced the accumulation of carotenoids and chlorophylls Chinese kale (Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra). The underlying mechanism was deciphered through yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) dual-luciferase (LUC) assays, whereby BoaBZR1.1 directly interacts...
