The haplotype-resolved T2T genome of teinturier cultivar Yan73 reveals the genetic basis of anthocyanin biosynthesis in grapes.

Teinturier grapes are characterized by the typical accumulation of anthocyanins in grape skin, flesh, and vegetative tissues, endowing them with high utility value in red wine blending and nutrient-enriched foods developing. However, due to the lack of genome information, the mechanism involved in regulating teinturier grape coloring has not yet been elucidated and their genetic utilization research is still insufficient. Here, the cultivar 'Yan73' was used for assembling the telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome of teinturier grapes by combining the High Fidelity (HiFi)， Hi-C and ultralong Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) reads.

Effect of Supplementary Light with Different Wavelengths on Anthocyanin Composition, Sugar Accumulation and Volatile Compound Profiles of Grapes.

Protected cultivation is currently one of the main cultivation modes for grape production, but the long-term use of plastic film will have a certain negative impact on the light environment in vineyards, which in turn causes poor colouring, low sugar content and a lack of aroma in some red grape varieties. Supplementing light can be an effective way to mitigate these problems. In this study, vines of three red table grape varieties ('Summer Black', 'Xinyu' and 'Queen Nina') cultivated in a plastic greenhouse were supplemented with red, blue, white and red-blue light from veraison to harvest.

Preharvest application of MeJA enhancing the quality of postharvest grape berries via regulating terpenes biosynthesis and phenylpropanoid metabolisms.

Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is an important phytohormone that regulates the development of grape, but the effect and underpin mechanism of its preharvest application on secondary metabolites accumulation in postharvest grape berries are still unclear. In this study, the transcriptome profiles combined with metabolic components analysis were used to determine the effect of preharvest MeJA application on the quality formation of postharvest rose-flavor table grape Shine Muscat. The results indicated that preharvest MeJA treatment had no significant effect on TSS content, but had a down-regulation effect on the accumulation of reducing sugar and titratable acid in the berries.

Application of alkali-heated corncobs enhanced nitrogen removal and microbial diversity in constructed wetlands for treating low C/N ratio wastewater.

Lack of carbon source is the main limiting factor in the denitrification of low C/N ratio wastewater in the constructed wetlands (CWs).
