are a class of plant-specific transcription factors that play key roles in plant growth and stress responses. However, the mechanism by which influence adventitious root development in remains unclear. In this study, gene family in rose was identified and phylogenetically analyzed using bioinformatics analysis.

Light is crucial for flower bud development in plants, serving as both signal and energy source. However, the mechanisms by which daylength and light intensity regulate flowering in modern roses remain unclear. In Rosa hybrida 'Carola', insufficient light delays flowering and reduces the sugar content in terminal buds.

Article Synopsis
  • - The root of a plant contains oleanolic acid glycosides as the main type of saponins, and a specific gene family is crucial for converting β-amyrin into oleanolic acid, although research on these genes is limited.
  • - In this study, 22 genes were found, divided into seven subfamilies, with four specific genes showing significant involvement in saponin synthesis as indicated by RNA-seq analysis and subcellular localization studies.
  • - Overexpressing these four genes in transgenic hair roots led to increased saponin compounds and supported the idea that these genes enhance oleanolic acid production by activating related upstream genes involved in triterpenoid biosynthesis.

Fragrance is an important feature of ornamental lilies. Components of volatile substances and important genes for monoterpene synthesis in the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway were examined in this study. Twenty volatile compounds (2 in the budding stage, 3 in the initial flowering stage, 7 in the semi-flowering stage, 17 in the full-flowering stage, and 5 in withering stage) were detected in the Oriental lily 'Sorbonne' using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study identified 23 candidate genes related to this gene family in a particular plant's genome, analyzing their distribution across chromosomes, phylogenetic relationships, and expressions in different plant tissues.
  • * Key genes (7, 9, and 12) were found to be highly expressed in swollen tubers, confirmed to be present on the cell membrane, suggesting their involvement in tuber formation and offering insights for future research and molecular breeding.

Trehalose, trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS),and trehalose-6-phosphatase (TPP) have been reported to play important roles in plant abiotic stress and growth development. However, their functions in the flowering process of have not been characterized. In this study we found that, under a short photoperiod or weak light intensity, the content of trehalose in the shoot apical meristem of cv 'Carola' significantly decreased, leading to delayed flowering time.

2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-phosphate cytidylyltransferase (MCT) is a key enzyme in the MEP pathway of monoterpene synthesis, catalyzing the generation of 4- (5'-pyrophosphate cytidine)-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol from 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate. We used homologous cloning strategy to clone gene, LiMCT, in the MEP pathway that may be involved in the regulation of floral fragrance synthesis in the Lilium oriental hybrid 'Sorbonne.' The full-length ORF sequence was 837 bp, encoding 278 amino acids.

A sudden cooling in the early spring or late autumn negatively impacts the plant growth and development. Although a number of studies have characterized the role of the transcription factors (TFs) of plant R2R3-myeloblastosis (R2R3-MYB) in response to biotic and abiotic stress, plant growth, and primary and specific metabolisms, much less is known about their role in under chilling stress. In the present study, , which encodes a nuclear-localized R2R3-MYB TF with a self-activation activity, was identified based on the earlier published RNA-seq data of plants exposed to short-term low-temperature stress and also on the results of prediction of the gene function referring .

On the short arm of tomato chromosome 6, a cluster of disease resistance (R) genes have evolved harboring the Mi-1 and Cf genes. The Mi-1 gene confers resistance to root-knot nematodes, aphids, and whiteflies. Previously, we mapped two genes, Ol-4 and Ol-6, for resistance to tomato powdery mildew in this cluster.

In this paper, Spiraea fritschiana and Spiraea bunmalba 'Goldmound' were treated with mild, moderate, and severe drought to study the dynamic changes of their photosynthesis capability, and two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were adopted to analyze and identify the differences in the protein expression of the two species before and after the treatments, and the physiological mechanisms inducing the changes of the photosynthesis capability. Drought treatments had significant effects on the photosynthesis capability of the two species. Under drought stress, the maximum photosynthetic rate, light compensation point, and light saturation point decreased gradually, suggesting that the responses of the two species to drought stress were progressive.

The monogenic genes Ol-1, ol-2, and Ol-4 confer resistance to tomato powdery mildew Oidium neolycopersici via different mechanisms. The biochemical mechanisms involved in these monogenic resistances were studied by monitoring through time the association of H2O2 and callose accumulation with hypersensitive response (HR) and papilla formation. Our results showed that H2O2 and callose accumulation are coupled with both Ol-1- and Ol-4-mediated HR-associated resistance as well as with the ol-2-mediated papillae-associated resistance.
