Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Brassica oleracea var. italica and phylogenetic relationships in Brassicaceae.

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is an important B. oleracea cultivar, with high economic and agronomic value.

Bitter Melon ( L.) Rootstock Improves the Heat Tolerance of Cucumber by Regulating Photosynthetic and Antioxidant Defense Pathways.

High temperature is considered a critical abiotic stressor that is increasing continuously, which is severely affecting plant growth and development. The use of heat-resistant rootstock grafting is a viable technique that is practiced globally to improve plant resistance towards abiotic stresses. In this experiment, we explored the efficacy of bitter melon rootstock and how it regulates photosynthesis and the antioxidant defense system to alleviate heat stress (42 °C/32 °C) in cucumber.

Characterization of the CsPNG1 gene from cucumber and its function in response to salinity stress.

Peptide: N-glycanase (PNGase; EC 3.5.1.

Melatonin alleviates heat-induced damage of tomato seedlings by balancing redox homeostasis and modulating polyamine and nitric oxide biosynthesis.

Background: Melatonin is a pleiotropic signaling molecule that plays multifarious roles in plants stress tolerance. The polyamine (PAs) metabolic pathway has been suggested to eliminate the effects of environmental stresses. However, the underlying mechanism of how melatonin and PAs function together under heat stress largely remains unknown.
