The Mechanism of the Development and Maintenance of Sexual Dimorphism in the Dioecious Mulberry Plant ().

Intersexual differentiation is crucial for the speciation and maintenance of dioecious plants, but the underlying mechanisms, including the genes involved, are still poorly understood. Here, we focused on a typical dioicous plant , to explore the molecular footprints relevant to sex evolution by revealing the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between two sexes and the testing signals of selection for these DEGs. From the results, we found a total of 1543 DEGs.

Metabolomics and physio-chemical analyses of mulberry plants leaves response to manganese deficiency and toxicity reveal key metabolites and their pathways in manganese tolerance.

Introduction: Manganese (Mn) plays a pivotal role in plant growth and development. Aside aiding in plant growth and development, Mn as heavy metal (HM) can be toxic in soil when applied in excess. is an economically significant plant, capable of adapting to a range of environmental conditions and possessing the potential for phytoremediation of contaminated soil by HMs.

Comparative Physio-Biochemical and Transcriptome Analyses Reveal Contrasting Responses to Magnesium Imbalances in Leaves of Mulberry ( L.) Plants.

Magnesium (Mg) deficiency is a major factor limiting the growth and development of plants. Mulberry ( L.) is an important fruit tree crop that requires Mg for optimal growth and yield, especially in acid soils.

Transcriptional and physiological analyses uncover the mineralization and uptake mechanisms of phytic acid in symbiotically grown Vicia faba plants.

Legume-rhizobia symbiosis requires high phosphorus (P) in the form of ATP to convert atmospheric nitrogen (N) into ammonia. The fixed ammonia is converted to NH by H-ATPase via protonation. To the best of our knowledge, most of these research works resort to using only inorganic P (Pi) to the neglect of the organic P (Po) counterpart.

Genome-Wide Analysis of the Xyloglucan Endotransglucosylase/Hydrolase () Gene Family: Expression Pattern during Magnesium Stress Treatment in the Mulberry Plant ( L.) Leaves.

Mulberry ( L.), a significant fruit tree crop, requires magnesium (Mg) for its optimal growth and productivity. Nonetheless, our understanding of the molecular basis underlying magnesium stress tolerance in mulberry plants remains unexplored.

The Competing Endogenous RNAs Regulatory Genes Network Mediates Leaf Shape Variation and Main Effector Gene Function in Mulberry Plant ().

Mulberry plants () have leaf shapes, ranging from unlobed to lobed, which are crucial for yield, growth, and adaptability, indicating their ability to adapt to their environment. Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) constitute a web of RNAs within the organism's transcriptional regulatory system, including protein-coding genes (mRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and others. In this study, samples for ceRNA sequencing were categorized into two groups: whole leaves and lobed leaves, each group with three replicates.

Mineral and Carbon Metabolic Adjustments in Nodules of Symbiotically Grown Faba Bean ( L.) Varieties in Response to Organic Phosphorus Supplementation.

Phosphorus (P) is a major limiting factor for legume and symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF). Although overall adaptations of legumes to P supplementation have been extensively studied in connection with inorganic P, little information is currently available regarding nodulation or SNF responses to organic P (Po) in hydroponics. We investigated the mineral and carbon metabolism of Po-induced nodules of two contrasting faba bean varieties grown hydroponically under inorganic P (Pi), viz.

Magnesium Nutrient Application Induces Metabolomics and Physiological Responses in Mulberry () Plants.

Mulberry () is a significant plant with numerous economic benefits; however, its growth and development are affected by nutrient levels. A high level of magnesium (Mg) or magnesium nutrient starvation are two of the significant Mg factors affecting plant growth and development. Nevertheless, metabolic response to different Mg concentrations is unclear.

The impact of boron nutrient supply in mulberry (Morus alba) response to metabolomics, enzyme activities, and physiological parameters.

Boron (B) is essential for normal and healthy plant growth. Therefore, Boron stress is a common abiotic stress that limits plant growth and productivity. However, how mulberry copes with boron stress remains unclear.

Long noncoding RNA transcriptome analysis reveals novel lncRNAs in Morus alba 'Yu-711' response to drought stress.

Drought stress has been a key environmental factor affecting plant growth and development. The plant genome is capable of producing long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). To better understand white mulberry (Morus alba L.
