Genome-Wide Identification of the Gene Family in Kiwifruit () and Functional Validation of in Response to Drought Stress.

DNA-binding one zinc finger (DOF) transcription factors are crucial plant-specific regulators involved in growth, development, signal transduction, and abiotic stress response generation. However, the genome-wide identification and characterization of genes and their regulatory elements in kiwifruit () has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we screened the kiwifruit genome database and identified 42 genes ( to ).

Insights into complex infection by two Pectobacterium species causing potato blackleg and soft rot.

Pectobacterium spp. are causative agents of blackleg and soft rot of potato. However, little is known about the relationship between the pathogenicity of mixed infections of different Pectobacterium spp.
