Scientists from the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University stated that the biological activity of extracts of four plants that growing in the Kaliningrad region is provided by phenolic compounds — aromatic alcohols. These substances provide antioxidant and antimicrobic properties to Aesculus hippocastanum, Melilotus officinalis, Eryngium maritimum, and Hedysarum neglectum.
A pivotal study sheds light on the evolutionary conservation of stem cell homeostasis in Solanaceae, revealing how receptor compensation mechanisms ensure the continuous and orderly formation of plant organs. This research uncovers the genetic interplay that maintains stem cell balance, offering new perspectives for crop improvement and resilience enhancement.
The development of new adenine base editors (ABE) and adenine-to-thymine/guanine base editors (AKBE) is transforming watermelon genetic engineering. These innovative tools enable precise A:T-to-G and A:T-to-T base substitutions, allowing for targeted genetic modifications.
A research team identified SlSWEET10a (Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporter 10a) as a plasma-localized sucrose transporter that interacts with SlSWEET14, playing a crucial role in regulating sugar metabolism in tomato fruits.
A research team at Washington State University has demonstrated considerable advancement in enhancing apple firmness and its retention during cold storage, which is vital for fruit quality.
A research team identified 12 vesicle-associated protein-membrane protein (VAP27) genes in the grapevine genome by bioinformatics, revealing their diverse subcellular localizations and roles in disease resistance.
A research team has successfully synthesized green copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO.NPs) from Mangifera indica (M. indica) leaf extract.
A research team has demonstrated that genomewide prediction is a promising approach for targeting russet formation in apple breeding programs.
Scientists have discovered evolutionarily conserved trans-lncRNA pairs that boost disease resistance in tea plants. These pairs, including the 12-oxophytodienoate reductase gene, interact with the jasmonic acid signaling pathway to enhance the plant's defenses against pathogens.
Researchers have successfully combined genotypic data from different platforms to enhance the accuracy of genomic prediction and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for apple fruit quality traits.
This study reveals how jasmonate enhances cold acclimation in jojoba by promoting flavonol synthesis. Through metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses, researchers found that cold acclimation leads to flavonol accumulation, crucial for increased cold tolerance. The jasmonate signaling pathway, which activates the flavonol biosynthesis pathway, plays a key role in this process.
A research team discovered that the rapid senescence of harvested strawberry 'Benihoppe' results from increased perishability, softening, water loss, increased soluble sugars within 2 d, and changes in hormone levels.
A research team investigated 71 citrus accessions and varieties using over 56,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 37 leaf reflectance parameters to study photosynthesis-related traits.
A research team identified a P. viticola-resistant locus, Rpv34, in table grapes through analysis of a high-density genetic map with 826 SNPs derived from F1 progenies of 'Moldova' (resistant) and 'Shine Muscat' (susceptible parent).
Transposable elements (TEs) significantly impact plant genome structure and function. This study examines the distribution, activity, and expression patterns of TEs across 14 Rosaceae species. The findings reveal distinct evolutionary patterns of long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) and their influence on genes linked to adversity resistance, morphogenesis, enzyme activity, and metabolic processes.
A research team has identified 1,558 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the 'Qujiao 5' chili pepper cultivar var, highlighting Pyrazine, 2-methoxy-3-(2-methylpropyl)- and 2-Nonenal, (E)- as key flavor compounds in chili fruit.
A research team investigated the impact of salt stress on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) floral transition, revealing that salt stress significantly reduced plant biomass and caused early flowering and smaller flowers.
A research team found that cold-tolerant melon seeds (THY) maintained higher neutral invertase activity at low temperatures, enabling sustained sucrose decomposition into glucose, which supports seed germination.
A research team has demonstrated that using plant factory technology (PFT) to precisely control environmental factors can significantly enhance vegetable quality.
A research team has reviewed the potential of glucosinolates, compounds found in Brassicaceae plants like cabbage and broccoli, to enhance stress tolerance and provide health benefits through their hydrolysis products.
