Summary Plenty of rainfall but unevenly seasonal distribution happens regularly in southern China. Seasonal drought from summer to early autumn leads citrus fruit acidification, how regulates citrate accumulation remains unknown. Herein, we employed a set physiological, biochemical, and molecular approaches reveal that CsABF3 responds stress modulates fruits by directly regulating CsAN1 CsPH8 . Here, demonstrated irreversible acidification is caused lasting for > 30 d during the...
Growth-regulating factors (GRFs) play a crucial role in plant growth and development, particularly cell division expansion. Citrus fruit cracking, prevalent issue, adversely impacts both yield quality. Gibberellins (GAs) are known to ameliorate citrus cracking by inducing thicker peel formation, which is attributed However, the mechanistic link between gibberellins thickening, whether this process mediated GRF genes regulation, has not been definitively established. In study, 8 CsGRFs...
Citrate, the predominant organic acid in citrus, determines taste of these fruits. However, little is known about synergic molecular processes regulating citrate accumulation. Using 'Dahongtiancheng' (Citrus sinensis) and 'Bingtangcheng' (C. with significant difference citrate, objectives this study were to understand global mechanisms high-citrate accumulation sweet orange. exhibit significantly different patterns throughout fruit development, largest differences observed at 50-70 days...
Abstract Background Anthocyanins are the most important compounds for nutritional quality and economic values of blood orange. However, there few reports on pre-harvest treatment accelerating accumulation anthocyanins in postharvest orange fruit. Here, we performed a comparative transcriptome metabolomics analysis to elucidate underlying mechanism involved seasonal drought (SD) during fruit expansion stage anthocyanin ‘Tarocco’ Results Our results showed that SD slowed down enlargement...
Fertilization is an important part of citrus crop management. However, limited details are available about the fertilization approach on plant development. A pot experiment for approaches and fertigation levels were conducted in this study. Four approaches, namely, drip (DF), broadcast (CK+), hole (HF) pour (PF) tested. The level treatment included 100% (DF-337.5), 80% (DF-270), 60% (DF-202.5) 40% (DF-135) fertilizer supply with DF, served as control (CK). results showed that DF not only...
Pre-harvest water deficit (PHWD) plays an important role in sugar accumulation of citrus fruit. However, the mechanism is not known well. Here, it was confirmed that PHWD promoted sucrose fruit, but had limited effect on fructose, glucose and total acid. A transporter, CsSUT1, which localizes to plasma membrane, demonstrated function transport induced by PHWD. Compared wild-type, CsSUT1 overexpression calli stimulated sucrose, fructose accumulation, while its silencing juice sacs reduced...
Sitophilus zeamais is a highly destructive pest of stored grains worldwide. To develop novel RNA insecticides, the double-stranded S. cytochrome c oxidase (dsSzCOXs: dsSzCOXI, dsSzCOXII, and dsSzCOXIII) was successfully expressed in pET28a-BL21(DE3)-RNaseIII- system remarkably downregulated expression level SzCOXs through injection or feeding methods, leading to high mortalities both larvae adults. Under their optimal conditions (isopropyl β-d-thiogalactoside, 0.6 mM), yields dsSzCOXI (at 28...
Seedling hypocotyls were used as explants to establish a regeneration protocol for Eucalyptus urophylla and N-phenyl-N'-[6-(2-chlorobenzothiazol)-yl] urea (PBU), one kind of di-substituted urea, was found useful growth regulator. The incubated on modified Murashige Skoog medium (SPCa), supplemented with 6.6 μM PBU 0.57 indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) dedifferentiated form calli (100 % after 7 d). Compared other regulator combinations, stimulated more vigorous restrained their darkening. In...
Abstract BACKGROUND Thrips Anaphothrips obscurus are one of the cosmopolitan major pests feeding on cereals and other grasses. In order to develop alternatives chemical insecticides for thrips control, based fumigant activity screening evaluation 22 essential oil (EO) compounds against thrips, binary interactions methyl salicylate carvacrol (MS‐C) with high toxicity were studied systematically by bioassay field trials. RESULTS The results showed that six in EO had both second‐instar nymphs...
Abstract Background Organic acids and anthocyanins are the most important compounds for flavor nutritional quality of citrus fruit. However, there few reports on involvement co-regulation citrate anthocyanin metabolism. Here, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis to elucidate genes pathways involved in both accumulation postharvest fruit with ‘Tarocco’ blood orange (TBO; high accumulation) ‘Bingtangcheng’ sweet (BTSO; low accumulation). Results A robust core set 825 DEGs were...
Abstract BACKGROUD Endoplasmic reticulum/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) is crucial for maintaining intracellular calcium homeostasis due to the calcium‐signaling‐related proteins on its membrane. While ryanodine receptors (RyR) insect ER/SR membranes are well‐known as targets diamide insecticides, little known about other channels. Given resistance of establishment molecular screening models targeting RyR or sarco/endoplasmic ATPase (SERCA) conducive discovery new insecticidal molecules....
Roughing disorder (RD) is a significant quality barrier in citrus fruit, prevalent on easy-peeling mandarins. As RD not yet well understood, this study aimed to examine the changes and synergic molecular processes involved peel RD. Peel with was induced by severely defruiting Satsuma mandarin trees. Morphology observations, RNA-sequencing, untargeted targeted metabolic analyses were conducted. The results showed that primary metabolites of sugars, organic acids amino are dramatically changed...
Jasmonic acid (JA) plays a crucial role in various biological processes including development, signal transduction and stress response. Allene oxide synthase (AOS) catalyzing (13S)-hydroperoxyoctadecatrienoic (13-HPOT) to an unstable allene is involved the first step of JA biosynthesis. Here, we isolated PtAOS1 gene its promoter from trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata). contains putative chloroplast targeting sequence N-terminal shows relative pistachio (Pistacia vera) AOS. A number...
Drought stress (DS) is one of the main abiotic negative factors for plants. Phthalanilic acid (PPA), as a plant growth regulator, can promote and development crops. In order to evaluate ideal application concentration frequency PPA-induced drought resistance in pepper ( Capsicum annuum ) seedlings, PPA was 133.3 mg·L −1 ; 200.0 266.7 , some key indicators were investigated, including leaf wilting index (LWI), relative water content (RWC), malondialdehyde (MDA). We found that LWI RWC...
Although the action site of wilforine is located in muscle tissue insects, insecticidal mechanism not yet clear. This research explored effects on calcium signaling pathway using imaging technique to reveal mechanism. It was confirmed that had strong cytotoxicity Mythimna separata myocytes with IC50 values 25.14 and 19.65 mg/L CCK-8 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide methods, respectively. The morphological development M. also affected. showed intracellular ion...
Understanding of orchard nutrition status can facilitate the proper management orchards for higher fruit yield and quality. From 2011 to 2019, in Hunan Province, a major citrus-producing area china, were assessed. A total 361 soil samples, 378 leaf samples 285 sweet oranges including navel orange (citrus sinensis l. Osbeck 'newhall') common 'bingtangcheng'), mandarins satsuma mandarin unshiu marc. 'miyagawa') ponkan reticulata blanco 'xinnu') collected. These from112 140 orchards. Parameters...
