Genome-Wide Identification and Comparative Transcriptome Methods Reveal Regulating Ascorbic Acid Regeneration and Quality Formation of Strawberry Fruits.

Ascorbic acid (AsA) is a crucial water-soluble antioxidant in strawberry fruit, but limited research is currently available on the identification and functional validation of key genes involved in AsA metabolism in strawberries. This study analyzed the FaMDHAR gene family identification, which includes 168 genes. Most of the products of these genes are predicted to exist in the chloroplast and cytoplasm.

Genome-wide identification and expression profiling reveal the regulatory role of U-box E3 ubiquitin ligase genes in strawberry fruit ripening and abiotic stresses resistance.

The plant U-box (PUB) proteins are a type of E3 ubiquitin ligases well known for their functions in response to various stresses. They are also related to fruit development and ripening. However, PUB members possess such roles that remain unclear in strawberry.

Joint Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis Reveals Differential Flavonoid Biosynthesis in a High-Flavonoid Strawberry Mutant.

The enriched phenolic content attributes to the promising health benefit of strawberry fruits. On behalf of screening and seeking the breeding material with high phytochemical composition, a mutant (MT) of strawberry 'Benihoppe' (WT) with high total flavonoid content (TFC), especially anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins (PAs), was identified in this study. To investigate the possible reason for these disparities during strawberry fruit development, an integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis was conducted using these two specific materials.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression of MAPK Gene Family in Cultivated Strawberry and Their Involvement in Fruit Developing and Ripening.

Studies on many plants have shown that mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are key proteins involved in regulating plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, their involvement in cultivated strawberry development and ripening remains unclear. In this study, 43 FaMAPK gene family members were identified in the genome of cultivated strawberry ( × ), phylogenetic analysis indicated that FaMAPKs could be classified into four groups.

Prediction and measurement of the electromagnetic environment of high-power medium-wave and short-wave broadcast antennas in far field.

With the increasing city size, high-power electromagnetic radiation devices such as high-power medium-wave (MW) and short-wave (SW) antennas have been inevitably getting closer and closer to buildings, which resulted in the pollution of indoor electromagnetic radiation becoming worsened. To avoid such radiation exceeding the exposure limits by national standards, it is necessary to predict and survey the electromagnetic radiation by MW and SW antennas before constructing the buildings. In this paper, a modified prediction method for the far-field electromagnetic radiation is proposed and successfully applied to predict the electromagnetic environment of an area close to a group of typical high-power MW and SW wave antennas.

Broadband reflection of polymer-stabilized chiral nematic liquid crystals induced by a chiral azobenzene compound.

A chiral nematic liquid crystal-photopolymerizable monomer-chiral azobenzene compound composite was prepared and then polymerized under UV irradiation. The reflection wavelength of the composite can be extended to cover the 1000-2400 nm range and also be adjusted to the visible light region by controlling the concentration of chiral compounds.
