Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Annexin Gene Family in Vitis vinifera and Functional Analysis of VvANN8 Under Salt Stress.

Grapes are economically significant fruit trees cultivated globally, but they are often affected by various abiotic stresses. Plant annexins are a class of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins that play crucial roles in regulating plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, the functions of grape annexins (VvANNs) remain relatively poorly understood.

Transcription Factor Positively Regulates Anthocyanin Accumulation in Grape ().

Grape () is a popular fruit with a rich color, favorable taste, and high nutritional quality. The formation of the color of its berries is primarily determined by anthocyanin composition and concentration. Basic helix-loop-helix proteins (bHLHs) serve as critical modulators of anthocyanin synthesis, yet many bHLHs in grape have not been systematically studied and remain uncharacterized.

Genome-Wide Identification of the Gene Family in Kiwifruit () and Functional Validation of in Response to Drought Stress.

DNA-binding one zinc finger (DOF) transcription factors are crucial plant-specific regulators involved in growth, development, signal transduction, and abiotic stress response generation. However, the genome-wide identification and characterization of genes and their regulatory elements in kiwifruit () has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we screened the kiwifruit genome database and identified 42 genes ( to ).

Insights into complex infection by two Pectobacterium species causing potato blackleg and soft rot.

Pectobacterium spp. are causative agents of blackleg and soft rot of potato. However, little is known about the relationship between the pathogenicity of mixed infections of different Pectobacterium spp.
