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.

Full-length transcriptome revealed the accumulation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in developing seeds of .

Background: is cultivated as a valuable oilseed crop, and its mature seeds are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (FAs), which are widely used in food and pharmaceutical industries. Recently, next-generation sequencing (NGS) transcriptome studies in indicated that some candidate genes were involved in oil biosynthesis. The NGS were inaccuracies in assembly of some candidate genes, leading to unknown errors in date analyses.

Integrated metabolome and transcriptome revealed the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway in developing leaves.

Background: as a tropical horticultural crop has been widely used for medicinal herb, feed, and vegetable. Recently, increasing studies revealed that this species possesses multiple pharmacological properties. Notably, leaves possess an abundance of flavonoids, but the specific profiles of flavonoids and the mechanisms of fl avonoid bi osynthesis in developing leaves are largely unknown.

Effects of exogenous abscisic acid on oil content, fatty acid composition, biodiesel properties and lipid components in developing Siberian apricot (Prunus sibirica) seeds.

Previous studies in Siberian apricot (Prunus sibirica) seed kernel (SASK) have suggested the involvement of abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway in oil accumulation. However, there are few reports on the effects of ABA on the metabolism of fatty acids (FA) in seed development. Here, we first evaluated the response of developing SASK to ABA treatment, with a focus on oil content, FA composition, biodiesel properties, lipid compounds and gene expressions.

Genome-wide characterization of the NUCLEAR FACTOR-Y (NF-Y) family in Citrus grandis identified CgNF-YB9 involved in the fructose and glucose accumulation.

Background: Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is increasingly known to be involved in many aspects of plant growth and development. To date, the systematic characterization of NF-Y family has never been reported in Citrus grandis.

Objective: Genome-wide characterization of C.
