Systematic identification of sugarcane vacuolar H-translocating pyrophosphatase (VPP) gene family and the role of ScVPP1 in salt resistance.

A total of 24 genes of vacuolar H-translocating pyrophosphatases H-PPases (VPP) genes were identified in Saccharum spontaneum AP85-441 and the ScVPP1-overexpressed Arabidopsis plants conferred salt tolerance. The vital role of vacuolar H-translocating pyrophosphatases H-PPases (VPP) genes involved in plants in response to abiotic stresses. However, the understanding of VPP functions in sugarcane remained unclear.

The Regulatory Network of Sweet Corn ( L.) Seedlings under Heat Stress Revealed by Transcriptome and Metabolome Analysis.

Heat stress is an increasingly significant abiotic stress factor affecting crop yield and quality. This study aims to uncover the regulatory mechanism of sweet corn response to heat stress by integrating transcriptome and metabolome analyses of seedlings exposed to normal (25 °C) or high temperature (42 °C). The transcriptome results revealed numerous pathways affected by heat stress, especially those related to phenylpropanoid processes and photosynthesis, with 102 and 107 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified, respectively, and mostly down-regulated in expression.

First Report of Puccinia engleriana Causing Leaf Rust of Tabernaemontana bufalina in Hainan, China.

Tabernaemontana bufalina Lour. is extensively cultivated as an ornamental plant in Hainan, Guangdong, and other regions of southern China. In January 2020, we observed a rust disease on T.

Immobilization of Rhodopseudomonas palustris P1 on glass pumice to improve the removal of NH -N and NO -N from aquaculture pond water.

We conducted this research in order to investigate the potential of a new material called glass pumice for use as a microorganism immobilization carrier to improve aquaculture pond water quality. The pH adjustment capacity and the Rhodopseudomonas palustris P1 cell adsorption capacity of glass pumice were measured. The immobilized Rps.
