In this work, we identified and functionally characterized the strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) R2R3 MYB transcription factor FaMYB123. As in most genes associated with organoleptic properties of ripe fruit, FaMYB123 expression is ripening-related, receptacle-specific, antagonistically regulated by ABA auxin. Knockdown RNAi fruit receptacles downregulated enzymes involved late steps anthocyanin/flavonoid biosynthesis. Transgenic fruits showed a parallel decrease contents total anthocyanin...
Reactive oxygen species are, at high levels, harmful to plant cells, whereas, a balanced and controlled level, they are involved in transduction of oxidative signaling. The apoplast, also known as the extracellular matrix plays vital role transferring signals internal organelles signal from cell cell. Moreover, having lower level antioxidants renders it favorable compartment for ROS production maintenance. Multiple routes H2O2 exist apoplast; however, prominent source is NADPH oxidases,...
NAC proteins are a family of transcription factors which have variety important regulatory roles in plants. They present very well conserved group subdomains the N-terminal region and highly variable domain at C-terminus. Currently, knowledge concerning strawberry plant remains limited. In this work, we analyzed Fragaria vesca, total 112 were identified after curated annotations from version 4.0.a1 genome. placed into ligation groups (pseudo-chromosomes) described its physicochemical genetic...
The study by Zhang et al. demonstrated that two kinases (SlCDPK27 and SlCDPK26) regulate the sugar content in tomato fruits with little impact on morphology. They act as breaks phosphorylating a sucrose synthase, promoting its degradation unveiling mechanism which can be increased without yield penalty.
Abstract Photoperiod, the length of daylight within a 24-hour cycle, serves as most consistent signal for seasonal changes. Plants have developed mechanisms to adapt these cycles, displaying well-established photoperiodic responses in traits like flowering time. The desynchronization time from photoperiod has been pivotal factor global expansion several major crops consumed today. This review provides an overview current insights into how plants perceive signals at molecular level, interact...
Volatile compounds produced during ripening of strawberry are key determinants fruit quality and consumer preference. Strawberry volatiles largely esters which synthesized by alcohol acyltransferases (AATs) degraded carboxylesterases (CXEs). Although CXE activity can have a marked influence on volatile contents in ripe fruits, function regulation them poorly known. Here, we report the biochemical functional characterization receptacle-specific ripening-related carboxylesterase FanCXE1. The...
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), one of the most important legume crops, uses atmospheric nitrogen through symbiosis with soil rhizobia, reducing need for fertilization. However, this is particularly sensitive to drought conditions, prevalent in arid regions where crop cultured. Therefore, studying response sustain productivity. We have used integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis understand molecular responses water deficit a marker-class common accession cultivated under N2...
Strawberry ripening involves a number of irreversible biochemical reactions that cause sensory changes through accumulation sugars, acids and other compounds responsible for fruit color flavor. The process, which is strongly dependent on methylation marks in fruits such as tomatoes oranges, highly controlled coordinated strawberry.Repeated injections the hypomethylating compound 5-azacytidine (AZA) into green unripe Fragaria × ananassa receptacles fully arrested fruit. however, was...
In soft fruits, the differential expression of many genes during development and ripening is responsible for changing their organoleptic properties. strawberry fruit, although some involved in metabolic regulation process have been functionally characterized, most studied correspond to transcription factors. High throughput transcriptomics analyses performed red receptacle (Fragaria x ananassa) allowed us identify a ripening-related gene that codes an atypical HLH (FaPRE1) with high sequence...
Abstract Soil salinization poses a significant threat to crop production impacting one fifth of all cultivated land. The Cape Verde Islands are located 600 km from the coast Africa and characterized by high salinity soils inland water sources. In this study we find that Arabidopsis thaliana plants native these islands accumulate metabolite protects them salt stress. We partially as glucuronyl-mannose. ability produce glucuronyl-mannose evolved independently in two different same archipelago...
Adenine metabolism is important for common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) productivity since this legume uses ureides derived from the oxidation of purine nucleotides, as their primary nitrogen storage molecules. Purine nucleotides are produced de novo synthesis or through salvage pathways. phosphoribosyl transferase (APRT) enzyme dedicated to adenine nucleobase nucleotide synthesis, but it also acts on inactivation cytokinin bases. In bean, APRT encoded by four genes. Gene expression analysis,...
Drought is one of the most important threats to plants and agriculture; therefore, understanding mechanisms drought tolerance crucial for breeding new tolerant varieties. Here, we assessed effects a long-term water deficit stress simulated on precision phenotyping system some morphological criteria metabolite traits, as well expression associated transcriptional factors two contrasting drought-responsive African wheat cultivars, Condor Wadielniel. The current study showed that under...
