Advances in isolated phages that affect Ralstonia solanacearum and their application in the biocontrol of bacterial wilt in plants.

Bacterial wilt is a widespread and devastating disease that impacts the production of numerous crucial crops worldwide. The main causative agent of the disease is Ralstonia solanacearum. Due to the pathogen's broad host range and prolonged survival in the soil, it is challenging to control the disease with conventional strategies.

Phylogenomics and divergence pattern of Polygonatum (Asparagaceae: Polygonateae) in the north temperate region.

Polygonatum is the largest genus of tribe Polygonateae (Asparagaceae) and is widely distributed in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, especially well diversified in southwestern China to northeastern Asia. Phylogenetic relationships of many species are still controversial. Hence it is necessary to clarify their phylogenetic relationships and infer possible reticulate relationships for the genus.

Functional analysis of key LRR-RLKs during interaction of root exudates with reveals the roles of immune proteins in formation of replant disease.

Previous studies have indicated that some Leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinases (LRR-RLKs) are involved in the formation of replant disease. However, it remains unclear how the interaction of LRR-RLKs with a key factor, the interaction between root exudates and , results in formation of replant disease. In this study, the influences of root exudates, and the interaction of these two factors on expression of nine () were analyzed.

Identification of AP2/ERF transcription factors in revealed the specific roles of ERF46 under cold stress.

() is a traditional medicinal plant that is widely used in China. Cultivated usually encounters cold stress, limiting its growth and quality at key developmental stages. APETALA2 (AP2)/ethylene-responsive factor (ERF) transcription factors (TFs) comprise one of the largest gene superfamilies in plants and are widely involved in biotic and abiotic stresses.

Nitric Oxide Crosstalk With Phytohormone Is Involved in Enhancing Photosynthesis of for Photovoltaic Adaptation.

Photovoltaic agriculture is a newly emerging ecological planting pattern. In view of the adverse effect on production, a better understanding of photovoltaic adaptation responses is essential for the development of the innovative agriculture mode in sustainable crop production. Here, we investigated the impact of photovoltaic condition on endogenous hormone composition and transcriptome profile of .

Multi-omics analyses revealed key factors involved in fluorescent carbon-dots-regulated secondary metabolism in Tetrastigma hemsleyanum.

Background: Luminescent nanomaterials (LNMs), especially newly-exploited fluorescent carbon-dots (CDs), have demonstrated promising candidates for sunlight harvesting and enhanced photosynthesis efficiency of crops. However, most of the studies focus on the design and synthesis of LNMs and primary metabolism in biomass acceleration, secondary metabolism that closely associated with the quality ingredients of plants is rarely mentioned.

Results: UV-absorptive and water-soluble NIR-CDs were harvested via a facile microwave-assisted carbonization method.

Key molecular events involved in root exudates-mediated replanted disease of Rehmannia glutinosa.

The perennial herbaceous plant, Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch, is one of traditional Chinese medicines with a long history of cultivation. However, replanted disease severely affects its yield and quality in production. In this study, a specific culture device was designed to accurately isolate the root exudates of R.

Comparative Genomics of and Insight Into Flavonoid Biosynthesis.

Dunn (), has been widely used in traditional medicines plant source of the Leguminosae family. Its vine stem of which plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of various diseases because it contains various flavonoids. Comparative genome analysis suggested well-conserved genomic components and genetic collinearity between the genome of and other genera of Leguminosae such as .

Not Responding Consecutively to Proliferation Caused Replant Disease Formation of .

Consecutive monoculture practice facilitates enrichment of rhizosphere pathogenic microorganisms and eventually leads to the emergence of replant disease. However, little is known about the interaction relationship among pathogens enriched in rhizosphere soils, Nucleotide binding-leucine-rich repeats (NB-LRR) receptors that specifically recognize pathogens in effector-triggered immunity (ETI) and physiological indicators under replant disease stress in . In this study, a controlled experiment was performed using different kinds of soils from sites never planted (NP), replanted (TP) and mixed by different ration of TP soils (1/3TP and 2/3TP), respectively.

Differential proteomic analysis of replanted Rehmannia glutinosa roots by iTRAQ reveals molecular mechanisms for formation of replant disease.

Background: The normal growth of Rehmannia glutinosa, a widely used medicinal plant in China, is severely disturbed by replant disease. The formation of replant disease commonly involves interactions among plants, allelochemicals and microbes; however, these relationships remain largely unclear. As a result, no effective measures are currently available to treat replant disease.
