Comparative analysis of the PAL gene family in nine citruses provides new insights into the stress resistance mechanism of Citrus species.

Background: The phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene, a well-studied plant defense gene, is crucial for growth, development, and stress resistance. The PAL gene family has been studied in many plants. Citrus is among the most vital cash crops worldwide.

Complete Chloroplast Genomes and the Phylogenetic Analysis of Three Native Species of Paeoniaceae from the Sino-Himalayan Flora Subkingdom.

var. , var. , and are Chinese endemics that belong to the Paeoniaceae family and have vital medicinal and ornamental value.

Genome-wide identification and expression pattern analysis of the kiwifruit GRAS transcription factor family in response to salt stress.

Background: GRAS is a family of plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) that play a vital role in plant growth and development and response to adversity stress. However, systematic studies of the GRAS TF family in kiwifruit have not been reported.

Results: In this study, we used a bioinformatics approach to identify eighty-six AcGRAS TFs located on twenty-six chromosomes and phylogenetic analysis classified them into ten subfamilies.

[Microbial Community Succession in Industrial Composting with Livestock Manure and Peach Branches and Relations with Environmental Factors].

This study sets out to understand the evolution of the microbial community structure in industrial composting with livestock manure and peach branches. Pig manure, peach branches, and decomposed organic fertilizer were used as materials for composting. Changes in physical and chemical indicators and the evolution in the structure of the compost microbial community, determined by high-throughput sequencing, were analyzed.
