Article Synopsis
  • Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors (TFs) play a crucial role in regulating plant development and the synthesis of secondary metabolites like anthocyanins, which contribute to the red bark of the cultivar 'Gantong 1'.
  • A total of 89 genes encoding CcbZIP TFs were identified, categorized into 14 subfamilies, and CcbZIP38 and CcbZIP57 were found to be highly expressed in the bark and leaves during various growth stages.
  • Analysis suggests that these bZIP TFs may indirectly regulate anthocyanin synthesis, enhancing our understanding of the genetic factors that impact the ornamental traits of plants.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on a medicinal plant known for its health benefits and explores how polyploid induction can enhance its biomass and bioactive compounds.
  • The optimal conditions for inducing tetraploids were determined, achieving an 18.2% success rate using specific preculture and colchicine treatment methods.
  • Tetraploid plants showed advantageous traits like bigger leaves and higher nutrient content, including important carotenoids, which could be valuable for future breeding and genetic resource development.

Drought, which directly affects the yield of crops and trees, is a natural stress with a profound impact on the economy. Improving water use efficiency (WUE) and drought tolerance are relatively effective strategies to alleviate drought stress. OPEN STOMATA1 (OST1), at the core of abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, can improve WUE by regulating stomatal closure and photosynthesis.

Polyploidy, which is widely distributed in angiosperms, presents extremely valuable commercial applications in plant growth and reproduction. The flower development process of higher plants is essential for genetic improvement. Nevertheless, the reproduction difference between polyploidy and the polyploid florescence regulatory network from the perspective of microRNA (miRNA) remains to be elucidated.

Compared to flower color and red leaf mutants, the mechanism of yellow leaf formation in woody plants is more complicated and less understood. Poplars are common and widely distributed perennial trees. Here, we obtained a golden leaf mutant poplar variety (JHY) and compared it with its original green leaf poplar (.

Plants are continuously affected by unfavorable external stimuli, which influences their productivity and growth. Differences in gene composition and expression patterns lead homologous polyploid plants to exhibit different physiological phenomena, among which enhanced environmental adaptability is a powerful phenotype conferred by polyploidization. The mechanisms underlying the differences in stress tolerance between diploids and autotetraploids at the molecular level remain unclear.

of Solanaceae was widely used as healthy vegetables and natural medicine foods for containing numerous functional components in leaves, roots and fruits. In the present study, tetraploid plants of were obtained efficiently by treating their leaves with colchicine . The highest induction frequency of the tetraploids was 31.
