To reveal the key genes involved in phenylpropanoid pathway, which ultimately governs fragrance of Rhododendron fortunei, we performed a comprehensive transcriptome and metabolomic analysis petals two different varieties alpine rhododendrons: scented R. fortunei unscented 'Nova Zembla'.Our transcriptomic qRT-PCR data showed that nine candidate were highly expressed but downregulated Zembla'. Among these genes, EGS expression was significantly positively correlated with various volatile...
Heavy metal toxicity in soils has been considered as major constraints for oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) production. In the present study, toxic effects of chromium (Cr) were studied 6-d-old seedlings four different cultivars B. (ZS 758, Zheda 619, ZY 50, and 622). The elevated content Cr inhibited seedling growth, decreased photosynthetic pigments, activities antioxidant enzymes, well increased malondialdehyde reactive oxygen species all cultivars. parts plants was higher 622 than other...
Flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (3GT) is a key enzyme in the glucosidation of anthocyanins. To investigate 3GT gene rhododendron, we cloned an open reading frame (ORF) (named Rh3GT) from Rhododendron hybridum Hort (Red cultivar) and then characterized this deduced protein terms biochemical characteristics, expression level, enzymatic function. The results showed that Rh3GT had full length 993 bp encoded 330 amino acid residues. was hydrophilic, stable, weak acid, belonging to...
The firmness of grape berries is a critical factor influencing their commercial feasibility and highly valued by both breeders consumers. However, berry complex quantitative trait governed multiple genes, our understanding its genetic regulatory network remains incomplete. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying firmness, this study employed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify potential candidate genes associated with fruit cellulose content explore gene that controls...
Abstract Shading is a practical measure to reduce the heat stress grape trees in summer. However, inappropriate shading will cause reduction leaf photosynthesis and consequently retardation of growth for plants or loss fruit yield quality mature trees. In this study we have used 1-year-old ‘YinHong’ growing under different levels shading, ranging from full sunlight 0% 80% reduction, investigate their growth, physiological biochemical responses. The results show that rate =45% did not...
Abstract Background Monoterpenes are among the most important volatile aromatic compounds contributing to flavor and aroma of grapes wine. However, molecular basis monoterpene biosynthesis has not yet been fully elucidated. Results In our study, transcriptomics gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used mine candidate genes transcription factors involved in between high-monoterpene zero-monoterpene table grape cultivars. We found that was positively correlated by expression five...
Summary Plants have intricate mechanisms that tailor their defence responses to pathogens. WRKY transcription factors play a pivotal role in plant immunity by regulating various signalling pathways. Many genes are transcriptionally activated upon pathogen attack, but how functions regulated after remains elusive. Here, we show OsWRKY7 as crucial positive regulator of rice basal against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. ( Xoo ). The activity was at both translational and post‐translational levels. Two...
Aroma is one of the most important indicators grape quality. Girdling and foliar fertilization with K (K2O) are common agronomic practices applied to improve berry quality in production. However, little known about its effect on accumulation biosynthesis entire aromatic profile. Our study was aimed explore influences girdling (alone or combination) general properties, phenolic composition, volatile free aroma compounds, spatial temporal expression terpene-related genes sensory properties...
Grape production in southern China suffers great loss due to various environmental stresses. To understand the mechanism of how grape plants respond these stresses is an active area research developing cultivation techniques. Plant stress resistance known rely on special proteins. Amongst them, DnaJ protein (HSP40) serves as co-chaperones HSP70, playing crucial roles response. However, proteins encoded by gene family Vitis vinifera L. have not been fully described yet. In this study, we...
The incidence of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and HCC-related deaths have remarkably increased over the recent decades. It has been reported that β-catenin activation can be frequently observed in HCC cases. This study identified integrin-linked kinase-associated phosphatase (ILKAP) as a novel β-catenin-interacting protein. ILKAP is localized both nucleus cytoplasm regulates WNT pathway different ways. First, it demonstrated activates cells by increasing protein level other proteins...
Rhododendron, a globally popular ornamental flower, is nevertheless limited in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying its fragrance formation. Notably, terpenoids are most prevalent volatile metabolite produced by plants. In this study, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), liquid (LC–MS) and transcriptomics sequencing were conducted to analyze synthesis terpenoid compounds petals fragrant R. fortunei Lindl. (YJ) non-fragrant “Nova Zembla” (NW). The results identified that...
Flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) is a key enzyme in the synthesis of phycocyanidins. In this experiment, petals red Rhododendron hybridum Hort. at different developmental stages were used as experimental materials. The R. flavanone (RhF3H) gene was cloned using reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and rapid-amplification cDNA ends (RACE) techniques, bioinformatics analyses performed. Petal RhF3H expression analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). A pET-28a-RhF3H...

With the frequent occurrence of extreme natural disasters, unfavorable growth environment is a common phenomenon in life cycle plants. In recent years, universal stress proteins (USPs) have attracted extensive attention field plant science for their expression patterns and functional analysis. However, characterization USP family remains unclear grape. this study, we identified 30 VvUSPs grape genome, which could be divided into three classes according to encoded protein sequences,...
Sugar–acid metabolism is a key factor in determining grape quality, and gluconeogenesis one of the important sugar–acid metabolic pathways. To explore effects reduced light intensity on berry quality under greenhouse cultivation, we used ‘Shine Muscat’ cultivar. With decreasing intensity, photosynthetic activity leaves decreased, resulting significant reductions net rate, transpiration stomatal conductance while reducing organic matter accumulation, thus significantly affecting subsequent...
