Abstract The organoleptic qualities of watermelon fruit are defined by the sugar and organic acid contents, which undergo considerable variations during development maturation. molecular mechanisms underlying these remain unclear. In this study, we used transcriptome profiles to investigate coexpression patterns gene networks associated with metabolism. We identified 3 networks/modules containing 2443 genes highly correlated sugars acids. Within modules, based on intramodular significance...

Potassium use efficiency, a complex trait, directly impacts the yield potential of crop plants. Low potassium efficiency leads to high fertilizers, which is not only farmer unfriendly but also deteriorates environment. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are widely used dissect traits. However, most single-locus one-dimensional GWAS models do provide true information about traits that controlled by multiple loci. Here, both (MLM) and multi-locus (pLARmEB, FASTmrMLM, mrMLM, FASTmrEMMA)...

As one of the pioneer crops widely planted in saline-alkaline areas, Gossypium provides daily necessities, including natural fiber, vegetable proteins, and edible oils. However, cotton fiber yield quality are highly influenced by salt stress. Therefore, elucidating molecular mechanisms response to salinity stress is importance breed new cultivars with high tolerance. In this study, we first developed a method for single-cell RNA-seq based on isolating protoplast from root tips; then, studied...

Abstract Seed priming with beneficial endophytic fungi is an emerging sustainable strategy for enhancing plant resistance against insect pests. This study examined the effects of Beauvaria bassiana Bb20091317 and Metarhizium rileyi MrCDTLJ1 fungal colonization on maize growth, defence signalling, benzoxazinoid levels gene expression. The did not adversely affect growth but reduced larval weights Spodoptera frugiperda . Maize leaves treated M. exhibited higher jasmonic acid,...

Drought and low-temperature stresses are the most prominent abiotic affecting cotton. Wild cotton being exposed to harsh environments has more potential cope with both biotic stresses. Exploiting wild material induce resistant germplasm would be of greater interest. The candidate gene was identified in BC2F2 population among Gossypium tomentosum hirsutum as male donor parent noted for its drought tolerance recurrent a high yielding but susceptible species by genotyping sequencing (GBS)...

Abstract Background Seed Myco-priming based on consortium of entomopathogenic fungi is very effective seed treatment against Ostrinia furnacalis herbivory. Maize regulates defense responses herbivory by the production defense-related enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, phytohormones, their corresponding genes. Jasmonic acid (JA) plays a key role in plant-entomopathogenic fungi-herbivore interaction. Results To understand how Beauveria bassiana Trichoderma asperellum induce changes...

The most devastating abiotic factors worldwide are drought and salinity, causing severe bottlenecks in the agricultural sector. To acclimatize to these harsh ecological conditions, plants have developed complex molecular mechanisms involving diverse gene families. Among them, S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase (SAMS) genes initiate physiological, morphological, changes enable adapt appropriately. We identified characterized 16 upland cotton SAMS (GhSAMSs). Phylogenetic analysis classified...
