Rapeseed naturally endures low temperature in late autumn and early winter to develop cold adaptation, named as cold acclimation (CA). The underlying mechanism by which CA induces plant resistance to subzero temperature tolerance is unclear. This study examined the transcriptome and metabolome of strong (Longyou 7) and weak (Longyou 99) cold-tolerant rapeseed varieties treated with treatments CA and sub-zero temperatures at fourth leaf stage.

Improving the soil structure and fertility of saline-alkali land is a major issue in establishing a sustainable agro-ecosystem. To explore the potential of different straw returning in improving saline-alkaline land, we utilized native saline-alkaline soil (SCK), wheat straw-returned saline-alkaline soil (SXM) and rapeseed straw-returned saline-alkaline soil (SYC) as our research objects. Soil physicochemical properties, fungal community structure and diversity of saline-alkaline soils were investigated in different treatments at 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm and 20-30 cm soil depths.

Background: The RNA recognition motif (RRM) is primarily engaged in the processing of mRNA and rRNA following gene transcription as well as the regulation of RNA transport; it is critical in preserving RNA stability.

Results: In this study, we identified 102 members of the RRM1 gene family in Brassica rapa, which were dispersed across 10 chromosomes with the ninth chromosome being the most extensively distributed. The RRM1 gene family members of Brassica rapa and Arabidopsis thaliana were grouped into 14 subclades (I-XIV) using phylogenetic analysis.
