Article Synopsis
  • * The research identified key sterilization methods (ethanol, fungicide, and sterile water) and found that the best growth medium for plant propagation includes a combination of 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) and indoleacetic acid (IAA).
  • * Results showed that using α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) improved rooting success, with rates increasing from 78% to 100% as NAA concentration rose, while a 1:1 mix of red soil and sand led to 100% survival of seedlings.

Proanthocyanidins (PAs), also known as "condensed tannins", are colorless metabolites produced through the flavonoid pathway that are involved in stress resistance in plants. Because PAs are involved in the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway, they play a role in the modification of pigmentation conferred by anthocyanins in ornamental organs. In this study, we isolated the gene and functionally characterized an R2R3-MYB transcription factor (TF), AaMYB3, and a basic helix-loop-helix TF, AabHLH1, from (Hort.

Dendrobium hybrids orchid are popular throughout the world. They have various floral color and pigmentation patterns that are mainly caused by anthocyanins. It is well established that anthocyanin biosynthesis is regulated by the interplay between MYB and bHLH transcription factors (TF) in most plants.

A R2R3-MYB gene AaMYB2 was isolated from Anthurium andraeanum (Hort.) and was functionally characterized to be a positive transcriptional regulator for anthocyanin biosynthesis in the spathes and leaves. Spathe coloration is an important Anthurium andraeanum (Hort.

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are obligate biotrophic parasites that invade plant roots and engage in prolonged and intimate relationships with their hosts. Nematode secretions, some of which have immunosuppressing activity, play essential roles in successful parasitism; however, their mechanisms of action remain largely unknown. Here, we show that the RKN-specific gene MiMsp40, cloned from Meloidogyne incognita, is expressed exclusively in subventral oesophageal gland cells and is strongly upregulated during early parasitic stages.
