Identification of the Optimal Quantitative RT-PCR Reference Gene for Paper Mulberry ().

Paper Mulberry () possesses medicinal, economic, and ecological significance and is extensively used for feed production, papermaking, and ecological restoration due to its ease of propagation, rapid growth rate, and strong stress resistance. The recent completion of the sequencing of the Paper Mulberry genome has prompted further research into the genetic breeding and molecular biology of this important species. A highly stable reference gene is essential to enhance the quantitative analysis of functional genes in Paper Mulberry; however, none has been identified.

Selection and Validation of Reliable Reference Genes for Leaves with Different Leaf Colors.

Hance is renowned for its rich leaf color and possesses notable advantages, such as robust adaptability, strong resistance to diseases and pests, and rapid growth, making it a preferred choice for urban greening and carbon sequestration forest initiatives. The completion of whole-genome sequencing of has spurred an increased interest in exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying seasonal changes in leaf color, marking a significant focus in breeding research. However, there is currently a lack of stable reference genes suitable for analyzing the expression patterns of functional genes in exhibiting varying leaf colors.

Dynamic transcriptome and network-based analysis of yellow leaf mutant Ginkgo biloba.

Background: Golden leaf in autumn is a prominent feature of deciduous tree species like Ginkgo biloba L., a landscape tree widely cultivated worldwide. However, little was known about the molecular mechanisms of leaf yellowing, especially its dynamic regulatory network.

The effect of exogenous methyl jasmonate on the flowering time, floral organ morphology, and transcript levels of a group of genes implicated in the development of oilseed rape flowers (Brassica napus L.).

The oilseed rape plant's transition from the vegetative to the reproductive stage is important to its yield. This transition is controlled by a large group of flowering time genes that respond to environmental and endogenous cues. The role of jasmonates in flowering is almost unknown in Brassicaceae, even in the genus Arabidopsis.

Sequence, expression divergence, and complementation of homologous ALCATRAZ loci in Brassica napus.

The genomic era provides new perspectives in understanding polyploidy evolution, mostly on the genome-wide scale. In this paper, we show the sequence and expression divergence between the homologous ALCATRAZ (ALC) loci in Brassica napus, responsible for silique dehiscence. We cloned two homologous ALC loci, namely BnaC.
