Article Abstract

Introduction: AS2/LOB genes, a class of transcription factors ubiquitously existing in plants, are vital for plant growth, development, and stress tolerance. Despite the availability of the physic nut genome, information regarding the expression profiles and evolutionary histories of its AS2/LOB genes remains scarce.

Methods: An elaborate exploration of the AS2/LOB gene family was conducted, including phylogeny, exon-intron structure, chromosomal location, conserved domain characteristics, conserved motifs, promoter cis-acting elements, protein interaction, and expression profiles under normal growth and abiotic stress conditions.

Results: In this study, 28 AS2/LOB genes (JcASLs) were identified in the physic nut genome. Phylogenetic analysis, based on homologs from Arabidopsis, classified the 28 genes into two groups (calss I and II). Chromosome localization indicated that the 28 genes were unevenly distributed across nine chromosomes. RNA-seq and qRT-PCR results revealed that the majority of the 28 genes exhibited differential expression in tissues such as roots, cortex stems, leaves, and seeds. Notably, and were exclusively expressed in seeds, and 16 genes responded to drought and salt stress at least at one time point under at least one treatment condition.

Discussion: These results establish a basis for future investigations into the molecular mechanism by which the genes regulate physic nut's response to drought and salt stress and their role in modulating the growth and development of physic nut.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Mechanism of Early Branching of Balsa (Ochroma lagopus Swartz).

Physiol Plant

September 2025

CAS Key Laboratory of Tropical Plant Resources and Sustainable Use, Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Menglun, China.

Balsa (Ochroma lagopus Swartz), the world's lightest wood and a crucial material in wind turbine blades, holds significant potential to contribute to carbon neutrality efforts when cultivated in tropical areas such as Xishuangbanna, China. However, balsa trees planted in Xishuangbanna exhibit early branching, resulting in reduced wood yield. Our study investigated the pivotal factors in regulating shoot apical dominance and branching by comparing an early-branching cultivar from Indonesia with a late-branching cultivar from Ecuador.

Exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) at varied power densities can profoundly affect fertilization in plants by posing physiological stress and impairing pollen's ability to fertilize. In the present study, four sites (under exposure to EMR at varied power densities) like S-1 (1 μW/cm), S-2 (2.8 μW/cm), S-3 (5.

In the search for new antimicrobial agents, this study investigated the phytochemical composition of the aerial parts of Jatropha integerrima, leading to the isolation of two new myrsinane-type diterpenoids, jatrophodiones F and G (1, 2), along with seven known compounds: jatrointelone A (3), α-tocospiro A (4), 8(14),15-sandaracopimaradien-3β-ol (5), curdione (6), 5α,8α-epidioxyergosta-6,9(11),22-trien-3β-ol (7), 7-oxo-β-sitosterol (8), and 3β-hydroxystigmast-5(6),22-diene-7-one (9). The structures of these compounds were elucidated via high-resolution electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and infrared, ultraviolet, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, comparing the analyses with reported spectroscopic data. Compounds 1-3 and 5-9 exhibited moderate to strong activity against eight microorganisms, including Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus brasiliensis, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 32 to 256 µg/mL.
