Water deficit is one of the main limiting factors in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) cultivation. Root architecture plays an important role drought tolerance plants; however, research efforts to improve trees have focused on aboveground targets. Due difficulties associated with visualization and data analysis, there currently a poor understanding genetic players molecular mechanisms involved root under conditions. We previously observed that MdMYB88 its paralog MdMYB124 regulate tree...
MdMYB88 and MdMYB124 have been demonstrated to be responsible for lignin accumulation in apple under drought stress. In this study, using a metabolomic approach, we identified differentially accumulated phenylpropanoid flavonoid metabolites MdMYB88/124 transgenic RNAi plants control long-term stress conditions roots. We confirmed the regulation of phenylalanine by via UPLC-MS roots both conditions. Using Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) ChIP-quantitative PCR (qPCR) analyses, found...
The apple is a favorite fruit for human diet and one of the most important commercial crops around world. Investigating metabolic variations during development can provide better understanding on formation quality. present study applied widely targeted LC-MS-based metabolomics approach with large-scale detection, identification quantification to investigate widespread changes “Pinova” ripening. A total 462 primary secondary metabolites were simultaneously detected, their along four...
Drought stress can negatively impact apple fruit quality and yield. Apple microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in tree development, as well biotic tolerance; however, it is largely unknown whether these molecules are involved the drought response. To identify drought-responsive miRNAs Malus, we first examined tolerance of ten F1 progenies R3 (M. × domestica) M. sieversii. We performed Illumina sequencing on pooled total RNA from both drought-tolerant drought-sensitive plants. The results...
Abstract Drought stress tolerance is a complex trait regulated by multiple factors. Here, we demonstrate that the miRNA160–Auxin Response Factor 17 (ARF17)–HYPONASTIC LEAVES 1 module crucial for apple (Malus domestica) drought tolerance. Using stable transgenic plants, found was improved higher levels of Mdm-miR160 or MdHYL1 and decreased MdARF17, whereas reductions in increases MdARF17 led to greater sensitivity. Further study revealed modulation achieved through regulation...
Abstract The evolutionary history of the Malus genus has not been well studied. In current study, we presented genetic evidence on origin based genome sequencing 297 accessions, revealing relationship between wild species and cultivated apples. Our results demonstrated that North American East Asian are closer to outgroup (pear) than Central species, hybrid including natural (separated before Pleistocene, about 2.5 Mya) artificial hybrids (including ornamental trees rootstocks) species....
Abstract The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in various plant processes. In response to drought stress, plants quickly accumulate ABA, but the regulatory mechanism of ABA accumulation largely unknown, especially woody plants. this study, we report that MdMYB88 and MdMYB124 are myeloblastosis (MYB) transcription factors critical for apple trees (Malus x domestica) following drought, regulation negatively controlled by ABA. positively regulate leaf water transpiration,...
Grafting, an ancient horticultural cultivation technique, is essential for commercial apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) production. M. prunifolia 'Fupingqiuzi' used as a common rootstock due to its known tolerances abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the genetic origin evolutionary history of are largely unknown, molecular bases underlying innate stress tolerance characteristics ability graft-transmit scion. Here, we present high-quality chromosome-scale genome sequence (2n = 2x 34)...
Water deficit is one of the main limiting factors for apple growth and production. Root architecture plays an important role in drought tolerance plants. However, little known about molecular basis root system trees under drought. In this study, we compared morphology two widely used rootstocks (R3 Malus sieversii) Our results suggested that M. sieversii more tolerant to than R3, since had a higher ratio shoot as well hydraulic conductivity long-term conditions. We then performed...
The dried roots of Scutellaria baicalensis are important traditional Chinese medicine used to treat liver and lung inflammation. An anomalous structure, hollowed root, was discovered in perennial cultivated baicalensis. presence the hollow may change contents bioactive metabolites, such as baicalein, other 4'-hydroxyflavones roots, but relationship between root metabolite is poorly understood. In this study, we identified anatomical structure detected differentially accumulating flavonoid...
As a precursor of aromatic compounds, fatty acids play important roles in apple fruit quality; however, the genetic and molecular basis underlying acid synthesis metabolism is largely unknown. In this study, we conducted genome-wide association study (GWAS) seven using genomic data 149 Malus accessions identified 232 significant signals (-log10P>5) associated with 99 genes from GWAS four across 2 years. Among these, signal linoleic was transcriptional regulator SUPERMAN-like (SUP)...
Although baicalein and wogonin contents in Scutellaria baicalensis , a traditional Chinese herb, are known to be regulated by jasmonic acid, the exact mechanism which acid regulates accumulation of remains unclear. In this study, we discovered SbLOX3, gene encoding 13-lipoxygenase from roots S. plays an important role biosynthesis acid. The methyl jasmonate, baicalin, wogonin, three metabolic intermediates 13-HPOT, OPDA, OPC-8, were downregulated hair SbLOX3 RNAi lines. We confirmed that was...
Lonicera japonica is a ubiquitous medicinal species in China.Winter pruning has long been used to improve its quality and yield, but the mechanism rarely studied.Therefore, this study, growth phenotypes of L.japonica processed with different methods were observed yield-and quality-boosting was analyzed.Specifically, young shoots three-year old cut degrees(heavy pruning, mild no respectively) winter 2020 2021, respectively, phenotypes, hormone content, gene expression lateral buds at...
