Strawberry ripening is non-climacteric, and post-harvest fruit enter senescence and deteriorate rapidly. Chilled storage induces transcriptome wide changes in gene expression, including the down-regulation of aroma related genes. Histone marks are associated with transcriptional activation or repression; the H3K27me3 mark is mainly associated with repression of gene expression.

The underlying adsorption mechanisms of spent mushroom substrate (SMSB) and the Herbaspirillum huttiense strain (HHS1), and their efficacy in removing Cu, Zn, OTC, and ENR was also examined. Results showed that the SMSB-HHS1 composite stabilized 29.

The contributions of the keystone taxa and their similarities from different animal farms under VA and HM stresses before and after soil remediation should be further investigated as well. An innovative treatment of Herbaspirillum huttiense (HHS1) inoculated waste fungus chaff-based (WFCB) biochar was designed for immobilization of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), and the removal of oxytetracycline (OTC), enrofloxacin (ENR), and a subsequent reduction in their resistance genes in soils from pig, cow, and chicken farms.

Despite the availability of its genome sequences, few studies explore the molecular mechanisms involved in pathogen defense, and the underlying biological pathways are poorly defined in places.

Low temperature storage is routinely used to extend shelf-life for transport and storage in the supply chain, however cold storage can also affect fruit aroma.

To understand the mechanisms underlying AsA overproduction in fruit of , content levels, accumulation rate, and the expression of genes putatively in the biosynthesis of AsA during fruit development have been characterized.

However, due to the legislation regulating cannabis cultivation, it is not a well characterized crop, especially regarding molecular and genetic pathways.

However, chitosan (Cs) and certain plant essential oils show promise in reducing postharvest quality loss during storage. Here, the effect of Cs and the combinations of Cs + tea tree oil (TTO), Cs +x peppermint oil (PMO), and Cs + ascorbic acid (AsA) on the quality of fresh-cut green bean pods (FC-GB) is studied over a 15-d storage period at 5 °C.

Dof (DNA binding with one finger) proteins play important roles in plant development and defense regulatory networks. In the present study, we report a genome-wide analysis of rose genes (), including phylogenetic inferences, gene structures, chromosomal locations, gene duplications, and expression diversity. A total of 24 full-length genes were identified in , which were assigned to nine distinct subgroups.
