Organic acid accumulation pattern and its key genes in Chinese cherry fruits.

Background: Chinese cherry [Cerasus pseudocerasus (Lindl.) G.Don], an economically important fruit species native to southwestern China, plays a key role in regional agriculture.

Overexpression of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor FveIF3h represses CER4/FAR3 translation and attenuates the synthesis of cuticular wax in strawberry leaves.

The cuticle layer serves as the first protective barrier against environmental biotic and abiotic stresses for plants. Although transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of cuticle biosynthesis genes has been extensively studied, the translational control remains poorly understood. The eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF3h) is a known regulator in protein translation.

Physiological and transcriptomic evidence revealed the role of exogenous GABA in enhancing salt tolerance in strawberry seedlings.

As one of the most salt-sensitive crops, strawberry production is severely limited by salt stress. γ--aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been reported to play an important role in the immune response of plants. In this study, the physiological and transcriptomic changes in strawberry seedlings treated with GABA under salt stress were investigated to explore the effect of GABA on salt tolerance.

transcription factor plays a role in regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in pear () skin.

The phenylacetone pathway, which encompasses flavonoids, lignin, and other compounds, is of paramount importance in determining the quality of pear fruit. Nevertheless, the precise regulatory functions of R2R3-MYB transcription factors in the metabolic pathways that regulate pear color changes remain unclear. In this study, we isolated an transcription factor from 'Red Zaosu' pears and demonstrated that it influenced the expression of several genes, including , and .

The starch excess and key genes underlying citrus leaf chlorosis by rootstock-scion incompatibility.

Leaf chlorosis caused by rootstock-scion incompatibility in citrus orchard badly affects fruit yield and quality. Starch excess and its key genes underlying citrus leaf chlorosis in incompatible graft remained unknown. Here, using created model incompatible/ compatible rootstock-scion combinations, we investigated starch content and distribution in 116 various chlorotic leaves of incompatible graft, and characterized the relationship between leaf chlorosis and starch accumulation.

The Effects of a New Citrus Rootstock cv. Shuzhen No. 1 on Performances of Ten Hybrid Citrus Cultivars.

The importance of rootstock in citrus production lies in its crucial role in determining tree growth, environmental stress tolerance, and fruit quality. Siebold ex Tanaka cv. Shuzhen No.

A Novel R2R3-MYB Transcription Factor FaMYB10-like Promotes Light-Induced Anthocyanin Accumulation in Cultivated Strawberry.

Anthocyanins widely accumulate in the vegetative and reproductive tissues of strawberries and play an important role in stress resistance and fruit quality. Compared with other fruits, little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating anthocyanin accumulation in strawberry vegetative tissues. In this study, we revealed an R2R3-MYB transcription factor, FaMYB10-like (FaMYB10L), which positively regulated anthocyanin accumulation and was induced by light in the petiole and runner of cultivated strawberry.

Soluble sugar and organic acid composition and flavor evaluation of Chinese cherry fruits.

Chinese cherry is an economically important fruit crop native to China. Flavor quality is greatly influenced by compositions of soluble sugars and organic acids. To better understand the flavor quality of Chinese cherry, we determined sugar and acid components in thirty-eight landrace and cultivar collections, and two wild resources using the HPLC method.

Autotetraploid Origin of Chinese Cherry Revealed by Chromosomal Karyotype and In Situ Hybridization of Seedling Progenies.

Polyploidy is considered a driving force in plant evolution and diversification. Chinese cherry [ (Lindl.) G.

Characterization of Volatile Organic Compounds in Five Celery ( L.) Cultivars with Different Petiole Colors by HS-SPME-GC-MS.

Celery ( L.) is an important vegetable crop cultivated worldwide for its medicinal properties and distinctive flavor. Volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis is a valuable tool for the identification and classification of species.

Comprehensive Analysis of the Pectate Lyase Gene Family and the Role of in Strawberry Softening.

Fruit softening is a crucial factor that controls shelf life and commercial value. Pectate lyase (PL) has a major role in strawberry fruit softening. However, the gene family in strawberry has not been comprehensively analyzed.

FaMYB5 Interacts with FaBBX24 to Regulate Anthocyanin and Proanthocyanidin Biosynthesis in Strawberry ( × ).

MYB and BBX transcription factors play important roles in flavonoid biosynthesis. Here, we obtained transgenic woodland strawberry with stable overexpression of , demonstrating that FaMYB5 can increase anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin content in roots, stems and leaves of woodland strawberry. In addition, bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays and yeast two-hybridization demonstrated that the N-terminal (1-99aa) of FaBBX24 interacts with FaMYB5.

Comparative physiological and transcriptomic analyses provide insights into fruit softening in Chinese cherry [ (Lindl.) G.Don].

Fruit softening is a complex, genetically programmed and environmentally regulated process, which undergoes biochemical and physiological changes during fruit development. The molecular mechanisms that determine these changes in Chinese cherry [ (Lindl.) G.

The blue light signal transduction module FaCRY1-FaCOP1-FaHY5 regulates anthocyanin accumulation in cultivated strawberry.

Anthocyanins have important physiological functions and are beneficial to the improvement of fruit quality in strawberry. Light is important for anthocyanin biosynthesis, and specific light quality was identified to promote anthocyanin accumulation in many fruits. However, research on the molecular mechanisms of anthocyanin accumulation regulated by light quality in strawberry remains limited.
