EuRBG10 involved in indole alkaloids biosynthesis in Eucommia ulmoides induced by drought and salt stresses.

Alkaloids are natural products with many important medicinal activities. To explore the mechanism of abiotic stress promoting alkaloid biosynthesis in Eucommia ulmoides, transcriptomic analysis and metabonomic analysis were used, virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) lines of target gene were constructed. The results showed that drought and salt stress caused wilting and blackening of leaves, decreased chlorophyll level, and significantly induced MDA and relative conductivity.

Hub genes and sub-networks of stoma-related genes in Hylocereus undatus through trypsin treatment during storage revealed by transcriptomic analysis.

To further investigate the preservation mechanisms of trypsin, the synergistic mechanisms of trypsin and stoma-related genes were evaluated in Hylocereus undatus. Trypsin significantly induced the stoma closure and improved the storage quality of H. undatus.
