Effect of histone modifications on fruit ripening.

Histone modifications are canonical epigenetic modifications mediating plant growth and development. Specially, histone modifications play important regulatory roles in plant fruit ripening, directly affecting fruit color changes, soluble sugar accumulation, and fruit softening. In this review, we focus on the effects of histone acetylation and methylation during fruit ripening.

CsLCD and CsDCD are involved in nitric oxide-enhanced salt tolerance in cucumber seedlings.

Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulphide (HS) play important roles in plant growth, development and environmental adaptation. Currently, there is few information on the mechanism by which HS may be involved in NO-induced salt tolerance. In this study, cucumber was used to investigate the role of NO and HS and their relationship under salt stress.

The response of DNA methyltransferase and demethylase genes to abiotic stresses in tomato seedling.

DNA methylation plays an important role in regulating plant growth, development and gene expression. However, less is known about the response of DNA methyltransferase and demethylase genes to various stresses. In this study, the effects of abiotic stresses on DNA methylation gene expression patterns in tomato seedlings were investigated.

The Characteristics and Expression Analysis of the Tomato SlRBOH Gene Family under Exogenous Phytohormone Treatments and Abiotic Stresses.

Respiratory burst oxidase homologs (RBOHs), also known as NADPH oxidases, contribute significantly to the production of ROS in plants, alongside other major sources such as photosynthesis and electron transport in chloroplasts. It has been shown that plant RBOHs play an active role in plant adversity response and electron transport. However, the phylogenetic analysis and characterization of the SlRBOH gene family in tomatoes have not been systematically studied.

A Near-Infrared Fluorescent Probe with Large Stokes Shift for Sensitive Detection of Hydrogen Sulfide in Environmental Water, Food Spoilage, and Biological Systems.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is an important endogenous gas transmitter that plays a critical role in various physiological and pathological processes and can also cause a negative impact on foodstuffs. In this study, we designed and synthesized a simple, easily available, high-yield, and low-cost near-infrared (λ = 710 nm) fluorescent probe, , with a substantial Stokes shift (205 nm) for the detection of HS. features high selectivity and sensitivity (LOD = 80 nM) toward HS, accompanied by a noticeable color change.

The Crucial Role of SlGSNOR in Regulating Postharvest Tomato Fruit Ripening.

-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is a well-known regulator in controlling protein -nitrosylation modification and nitric oxide (NO) homeostasis. Here, a GSNOR inhibitor N6022 and silencing were applied to investigate the roles of SlGSNOR in tomato fruit postharvest ripening. We found that the application of N6022 and -nitrosoglutathione (GSNO, a NO donor), and silencing delayed the transition of fruit skin color by improving total chlorophyll level by 88.

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Tomato Fatty Acid β-Oxidase Family Genes and .

Fatty acids and their derivatives play a variety of roles in living organisms. Fatty acids not only store energy but also comprise membrane lipids and act as signaling molecules. There are three main proteins involved in the fatty acid β-oxidation pathway in plant peroxisomes, including acyl-CoA oxidase (), multifunctional protein (), and 3-ketolipoyl-CoA thiolase ().
