Abstract The laurel family within the Magnoliids has attracted attentions owing to its scents, variable inflorescences, and controversial phylogenetic position. Here, we present a chromosome-level assembly of Litsea cubeba genome, together with low-coverage genomic transcriptomic data for many other Lauraceae. Phylogenomic analyses show discordance at position Magnoliids, suggesting incomplete lineage sorting during divergence monocots, eudicots, Magnoliids. An ancient whole-genome...

The APETALA2/ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (AP2/ERF) transcription factors (TFs) are involved in the regulation of specialized terpenoid biosynthesis. However, AP2/ERF TFs Litsea cubeba have not been characterized and their role biosynthesis terpenoids is unknown. Here, 174 LcAP2/ERF were identified L. categorized into four subfamilies: 27 AP2, 7 RAV, 1 Soloist, 139 ERF. Transcriptomic qRT-PCR assays both showed that expression levels LcERF19 similar to terpene synthase LcTPS42 pericarp, which...

Quercus fabri Hance, serrata Thunb, acutissima Carruth, and variabilis BL are four Chinese oak species commonly used for forestation. To ensure the survival of seedlings, we first need to understand differences in drought resistance at seedling stage, comprehensively evaluate their capabilities. The seedlings were divided into drought-rewatering treatment group well watered samples (control group). For group, stress lasting 31 days was used, then re-watering 5 days. water parameters, osmotic...

Abstract Lineage-specific terpenoids have arisen throughout the evolution of land plants and are believed to play a role in interactions between environment. Species-specific gene clusters provided insight on secondary metabolism. Lauraceae is an ecologically important plant family whose members also considerable economic value given their monoterpene contents. However, cluster responsible for biosynthesis monoterpenes remains yet be elucidated. Here, Lauraceae-specific citral biosynthetic...

Litsea cubeba essential oil (LcEO) is a natural product extracted form L. cueba fruits. LcEO widely used for flavoring in Chinese cooking and provides diverse aromas from different chemotypes, but their characteristic flavor odorants determining the usage remain unknown. In this study, LcEOs were three chemotypes fruits by hydrodistillation 4 h, liquid to material ratio 20:1 (mL·g−1) comprehensively investigated at sensorial, spectral molecular levels. Twenty-seven crucial quantified using...

Small-scale vegetable and fruit crop producers in the USA use locally available commercial organic fertilizers soil amendments recycled from municipal agricultural wastes. Organic provide crops with their nutrient needs maintain health by modifying its physical, chemical, biological properties. However, might add unwanted elements such as toxic heavy metals or salts, which inhibit growth reduce yield. Therefore, objective of this study was to evaluate phytotoxicity three amendments, chicken...

Abstract There is often a trade‐off effect between different agronomic traits due to gene pleiotropy, leading negative correlation yield and resistance. Consequently, using gene‐editing techniques develop superior becomes challenging. Genetic resources that defy this constraint are scarce but hold great potential as targets for improvement through the utilisation of CRISPR. Transcription factors critical in modulating numerous expressions across diverse biological processes. Here, we found...

Light is an important environmental regulator of plant secondary metabolism. Terpenoids, the most abundant metabolites in plants, demonstrate a wide spectrum biologically significant properties, encompassing antimicrobial, antioxidative, and analgesic activities. Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Pers., core species within Lauraceae family, exhibits notable pharmacological potential, including antimicrobial antitumor effects. Here, we found that darkness treatment significantly suppressed terpenoid...

Abstract Background Quercus fabri Hance, serrata Thunb, acutissima Carruth, and variabilis BL are four Chinese oak species commonly used for forestation. With the global warming caused by greenhouse effect, seedlings in mountainous areas after afforestation often suffer seasonal drought stress, which seriously affects their survival growth. In order to ensure of seedlings, we need select with strong resistance. Therefore, first understand differences resistance tree at seedling stage,...
