Harpin proteins from gram-negative plant-pathogenic bacteria can stimulate hypersensitive cell death (HCD) and pathogen defense as well enhance growth in plants. Two of these diverse activities clearly are beneficial may depend on particular functional regions the proteins. Identification deleterious might facilitate use harpin-related crops without causing negative effects like death. Here, we report identification testing nine fragments HpaG Xooc , a 137-amino-acid harpin protein...
Harpins of phytopathogenic bacteria stimulate defense and plant growth in many types plants, conferring disease resistance enhanced yield. In a previous study, we characterized nine fragments the harpin protein HpaG(Xooc) from Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola for elicitation stimulation activity relative to intact protein. plants grown under controlled conditions, fragment HpaG10-42 was more active both regards than HpaG(Xooc). Here, demonstrate that rice field conditions significantly...
A high-density genetic map can provide a basis for quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and marker-assisted selection (MAS) based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) has been successfully applied to construct maps of many species but not Cucurbita maxima. In this study, 100 F2 individuals from two morphologically diverse parents, namely "2013-12" "9-6", were used C. maxima using the SLAF-seq method. total 8,406 SLAF markers...
Mesocarp color is an important agronomic trait of Cucurbita maxima and determined mainly by the contents compositions carotenoids. The two inbred lines with significant differences in fruit flesh were used study, orange '312-1' white '98-2'. Changes seven carotenoid produced '98-2' analyzed during development. expression eight key biosynthesis genes investigated five development stage lines. As intensified, was increased lutein, β-carotene zeaxanthin lack accumulation led to formation fruit....
Pumpkin, nutritious vegetable, is renowned for its extended shelf life. In this study, seven pumpkin cultivars from Cucurbita moschata and maxima were comparatively characterized 25 physiochemical quality factors, starch granule structures, antioxidant activity, correlations at 0–60 days of postharvest (dop). The findings revealed that sucrose carotenoid contents increased in C. moschata, while they initially then decreased maxima. Additionally, acidity, primarily driven by malic acid, but...
SUMMARY Leaves of Nagafu No. 6 were transformed by the Agrobacterium tumefaciens -mediated method, and 158 hyg-resistant buds obtained. Using fresh leaf tissue, seven positive lines obtained polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with total DNA, four reverse transcriptase–polymerase (RT–PCR) RNA. The results showed that MhTGA2 gene was successfully into plants expressed. At 4 months after transplanting, photosynthetic parameters young leaves determined using transgenic control prior to...
Early flowering promotes early maturity and production, the capacity to counteract biotic abiotic stresses, making it an important agronomic trait in zucchini. In present study, zucchini inbred line '19' showed significantly fewer days blooming of first female flower (DFF) than '113', which stable flowering. Genetic analysis revealed that DFF is inheritable quantitative controlled by multiple genes. Based on strategy locus (QTL) sequencing (QTL-seq) combined with linkage analysis, 3 QTLs for...
HrpNEa is a harpin protein produced by the bacterial plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora. When applied to aerial parts of plants, induces systemic acquired resistance in variety species. Here, we report that treating Chinese cabbage roots with Pectobacterium carotovora subsp. carotovora, invades and causes soft rot cruciferous plants. Treating significantly decreased severities symptoms on plant. The root treatment number P. cells attached surfaces inhibited ability produce quorum-sensing...
The mottled leaf is one of the agronomic traits zucchini and can be applied as a marker trait in aggregation breeding. However, genetic mechanism responsible for has yet to elucidated. In present study, we used two inbred lines (line '19': silver leaf; line '113': normal leaf) parents physiological analysis leaf. synthesis net photosynthetic rate chlorophyll were not significantly affected areas leaves. detected large space between palisade parenchyma mottle area '19', which may have caused...
Abstract Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima D.) is typically monoecious with individual male and female flowers, its yield associated the degree of femaleness, i.e. ratio to flowers produced by plant. Subgynoecy represents a sex form high but regulatory mechanisms in pumpkin remain poorly understood. In this study, using F2 population crossed from subgynoecious line 2013-12 9-6, we initially identified recessive locus control trait, named it sg1. After bulked segregant analysis whole-genome...
Bacterial soft rot of Chinese cabbage is the most destructive disease caused by Erwinia carotovora.Until now reliable sources resistance and effective control methods are unavailable, so development highly resistant breeding lines desirable.In present study, we established an aiiA gene transformation system resistant.The was introduced into through pollen-tube pathway using plasmid vector pBBBast-aiiA (7, 315 kb), which included gene, expression regulatory sequence (CaMV 35S promoter, OCS...
Trichomes provide an excellent model for studying cell differentiation and proliferation. The aboveground tissues of plants with long dense trichomes (LDTs) can cause skin itching in people working a zucchini field, which management, pollination, fruit harvesting are difficult. In this study, F 2 population was constructed the LDT inbred line “16” sparse micro trichome (SMT) “63” QTL analysis type I II density. Two QTLs were identified on chromosomes 3 15 using QTL-seq method. Additionally,...
