Effect of Dual-Modified Tapioca Starch/Chitosan/SiO Coating Loaded with Clove Essential Oil Nanoemulsion on Postharvest Quality of Green Grapes.

As consumer awareness regarding health and nutrition continues to increase, there is a growing demand for fresh, nutritious fruits such as green grapes. However, the short storage life and susceptibility of these fruits to spoilage lead to significant commercial losses. Currently, the plastic wrap method is commonly used to keep green grapes fresh, but this packaging effect is limited and not environmentally friendly.

Unveiling the Molecular Mechanisms of Browning in Callus through Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis.

is one of the camellia plants distributed in tropical regions, and its regeneration system and genetic transformation are affected by callus browning. However, the underlying mechanism of callus browning formation remains largely unknown. To investigate the metabolic basis and molecular mechanism of the callus browning of , histological staining, high-throughput metabolomics, and transcriptomic assays were performed on calli with different browning degrees (T1, T2, and T3).

Revealing the aromatic sonata through terpenoid profiling and gene expression analysis of aromatic and non-aromatic coconut varieties.

Aromatic coconut represents an exceptional variety of coconut known for its distinct and delightful flavor and aroma, both of which are highly cherished by consumers. Despite its popularity, there has been a lack of systematic research on aroma components and the associated synthetic genes. In this report, we developed the metabolite profiles of terpenoids by targeted metabolomics and obtained the expression profile of genes related to terpenoid biosynthesis by RNA-seq during different coconut fruit developmental stages.

The regulation mechanism of ethephon-mediated delaying of postharvest physiological deterioration in cassava storage roots based on quantitative acetylproteomes analysis.

Ethylene plays diverse roles in post-harvest processes of horticultural crops. However, its impact and regulation mechanism on the postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD) of cassava storage roots is unknown. In this study, a notable delay in PPD of cassava storage roots was observed when ethephon was utilized as an ethylene source.

Oil Palm AP2 Subfamily Gene Improves Salt Stress Tolerance in Transgenic Tobacco Plants.

AP2/ERF transcription factor genes play an important role in regulating the responses of plants to various abiotic stresses, such as cold, drought, high salinity, and high temperature. However, less is known about the function of oil palm AP2/ERF genes. We previously obtained 172 AP2/ERF genes of oil palm and found that the expression of was significantly up-regulated under salinity, cold, or drought stress conditions.

Integrated transcriptomics and metabolomics analyses of the effects of bagging treatment on carotenoid biosynthesis and regulation of L.

Introduction: Fresh Aareca nut fruit for fresh fruit chewing commonly found in green or dark green hues. Despite its economic significance, there is currently insufficient research on the study of color and luster of areca. And the areca nut fruits after bagging showed obvious color change from green to tender yellow.

Catalase (CAT) Gene Family in Oil Palm ( Jacq.): Genome-Wide Identification, Analysis, and Expression Profile in Response to Abiotic Stress.

Catalases (CATs) play crucial roles in scavenging HO from reactive oxygen species, controlling the growth and development of plants. So far, genome-wide identification and characterization of CAT genes in oil palm have not been reported. In the present study, five genes were obtained through a genome-wide identification approach.

Metabolic GWAS-based dissection of genetic basis underlying nutrient quality variation and domestication of cassava storage root.

Background: Metabolites play critical roles in regulating nutritional qualities of plants, thereby influencing their consumption and human health. However, the genetic basis underlying the metabolite-based nutrient quality and domestication of root and tuber crops remain largely unknown.

Results: We report a comprehensive study combining metabolic and phenotypic genome-wide association studies to dissect the genetic basis of metabolites in the storage root (SR) of cassava.

Preparation of bio-based modified starch film and analysis of preservation mechanism for sweet cherry.

This study aimed to synthesize packaging films using bioactive ingredients. The composite film was prepared by blending octenyl succinate cassava starch ester (OSCS) with chitosan (CS) nano-ZnO and then adding ε-polylysine (ε-PL). The study also explored the effect of different concentrations of ε-PL on OSCS/CS/ZnO films.

Resequencing of 388 cassava accessions identifies valuable loci and selection for variation in heterozygosity.

Background: Heterozygous genomes are widespread in outcrossing and clonally propagated crops. However, the variation in heterozygosity underlying key agronomic traits and crop domestication remains largely unknown. Cassava is a staple crop in Africa and other tropical regions and has a highly heterozygous genome.

Genome-Wide Association Studies of 11 Agronomic Traits in Cassava ( Crantz).

Cassava ( Crantz) is a major tuberous crop produced worldwide. In this study, we sequenced 158 diverse cassava varieties and identified 349,827 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and indels. In each chromosome, the number of SNPs and the physical length of the respective chromosome were in agreement.

The MAPKKK gene family in cassava: Genome-wide identification and expression analysis against drought stress.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinases (MAPKKKs), an important unit of MAPK cascade, play crucial roles in plant development and response to various stresses. However, little is known concerning the MAPKKK family in the important subtropical and tropical crop cassava. In this study, 62 MAPKKK genes were identified in the cassava genome, and were classified into 3 subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis.

Cassava genome from a wild ancestor to cultivated varieties.

Cassava is a major tropical food crop in the Euphorbiaceae family that has high carbohydrate production potential and adaptability to diverse environments. Here we present the draft genome sequences of a wild ancestor and a domesticated variety of cassava and comparative analyses with a partial inbred line. We identify 1,584 and 1,678 gene models specific to the wild and domesticated varieties, respectively, and discover high heterozygosity and millions of single-nucleotide variations.

Proteome characterization of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) somatic embryos, plantlets and tuberous roots.

Background: Proteomics is increasingly becoming an important tool for the study of many different aspects of plant functions, such as investigating the molecular processes underlying in plant physiology, development, differentiation and their interaction with the environments. To investigate the cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) proteome, we extracted proteins from somatic embryos, plantlets and tuberous roots of cultivar SC8 and separated them by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).

Results: Analysis by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) yielded a total of 383 proteins including isoforms, classified into 14 functional groups.
