Two-line hybrid rice with high yield potential is increasingly popular and the photo- temperature-sensitive male sterile line one of basic components for two-line breeding. The development lines through conventional breeding a lengthy laborious process, whereas developing thermo-sensitive genic (TGMS) by editing temperature-sensitivity gene CRISPR/Cas9 efficient convenient. Here, sterility was induced employing technology to modify TMS5. Two TGMS mutants, tms5–1 tms5–2, both lacking any...

Flowering Chinese cabbage is prone to withering, yellowing and deterioration after harvest. Melatonin plays a remarkable role in delaying leaf senescence increasing flavonoid biosynthesis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of melatonin procrastinating postharvest by regulating biosynthesis remain largely unknown. In this study, could promote accumulation delay flowering cabbage. Surprisingly, we observed that BrFLS1 BrFLS3.2 were core contributors biosynthesis, BrERF2 BrERF109...

Cadmium (Cd), a highly ubiquitous heavy metal, induces neurotoxicity. Melatonin, major secretory product of the pineal gland, protects against Cd-induced However, mechanism that accounts for this protection remains to be elucidated. Herein, we exposed mouse neuroblastoma cells (Neuro-2a cells) different concentrations cadmium chloride (CdCl2 ) (12.5, 25, and 50 μ mol L(-1) 24 hours. We showed Cd inhibits autophagosome-lysosome fusion impairs lysosomal function, subsequently leading nerve...
