MaMYB4 is a negative regulator and a substrate of RING-type E3 ligases MaBRG2/3 in controlling banana fruit ripening.

Fruit ripening is a complex developmental process, which is modulated by both transcriptional and post-translational events. Control of fruit ripening is important in maintaining moderate quality traits and minimizing postharvest deterioration. In this study, we discovered that the transcription factor MaMYB4 acts as a negative regulator of fruit ripening in banana.

Relationship between the honeydew of mealy bugs and the growth of Phlebopus portentosus.

Background: Phlebopus portentosus and mealy bugs form a fungus-insect gall on the roots of host plants. The fungus and mealy bugs benefit mutually through the gall, which is the key link in the nutritional mechanism of P. portentosus.

[Infrared Spectroscopy Combined with Chemometrics for Rapid Discrimination on Species of Bolete Mushrooms and an Analysis of Total Mercury].

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was used to establish a method for rapid identification of different species of bolete mushrooms and determination of total mercury (Hg). In this study, 15 species of bolete mushrooms were used and the information of infrared spectra of 48 samples was collected. Meanwhile, the total Hg was determined with cold-vapour atomic absorption spectroscopy and direct mercury analyzer.

[Study on the Discrimination of Boletus Edulis from Different Years and Origins with FTIR].

In order to establish a rapid method for discriminating Boletus edulis mushroom, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy combined with multivariate statistical analysis were used to study B. edulis which were collected from different origins and different years. The original infrared spectra of all the 152 B.

[Discrimination of Boletus Tomentipes from Different Regions Based on Infrared Spectrum Combined with Principal Component Analysis and Cluster Analysis].

With the aim of establishing a rapid method to discriminate Boletus tomentipes samples from different regions, FTIR spectroscopy with the aid of principal component analysis and clustering analysis were used in the present study. The information of infrared spectra of B. tomentipes samples originated from 15 regions has been collected.
