Transcriptome Analysis Provides Insights into the Safe Overwintering of Local Peach Flower Buds.

During the dormant period of peach trees in winter, flower buds exhibit weak cold resistance and are susceptible to freezing at low temperatures. Understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the response of local peach buds to low-temperature adversity is crucial for ensuring normal flowering, fruiting, and yield. In this study, the experimental materials included the conventional cultivar 'Xia cui' (XC) and the cold-resistant local resources 'Ding jiaba' (DJB) peach buds.

Physiochemical Responses and Ecological Adaptations of Peach to Low-Temperature Stress: Assessing the Cold Resistance of Local Peach Varieties from Gansu, China.

In recent years, extreme weather events have become increasingly frequent, and low winter temperatures have had a significant impact on peach cultivation. The selection of cold-resistant peach varieties is an effective solution to mitigate freezing damage. To comprehensively and accurately evaluate the cold resistance of peaches and screen for high cold resistance among Gansu local resources, nine different types of peach were selected as test resources to assess physiological, biochemical, and anatomical indices.

, a Transcription Factor Gene Associated with Cold-Tolerance in Chinese Wild .

Early responsive to dehydration () genes can be rapidly induced to counteract abiotic stresses, such as drought, low temperatures or high salinities. Here, we report on an gene () related to cold tolerance from Chinese wild accession 'Heilongjiang seedling'. The full-length cDNA is 685 bp, including a 66 bp 5'-untranslated region (UTR), a 196 bp 3'-UTR region and a 423 bp open reading frame encoding 140 amino acids.

Co-pyrolysis behaviour and kinetic of two typical solid wastes in China and characterisation of activated carbon prepared from pyrolytic char.

This is the first study on the co-pyrolysis of spent substrate of Pleurotus ostreatus and coal tar pitch, and the activated carbon prepared from the pyrolytic char. Thermogravimetry (TG) analysis was carried out taking spent substrate, coal tar pitch and spent substrate-coal tar pitch mixture. The activation energies of pyrolysis reactions were obtained via the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose methods.
