Article Synopsis
- PbMYB1L is a novel R2R3-MYB transcription factor identified from 'Red Zaosu' pear, which enhances cold tolerance and promotes anthocyanin accumulation in transgenic Arabidopsis.
- The transgenic Arabidopsis lines show improved cold stress resilience, longer primary roots, and lower levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to wild-type plants.
- PbMYB1L upregulates key cold-responsive genes and anthocyanin structural genes, indicating its dual role in both cold tolerance and anthocyanin synthesis regulation.
Article Synopsis
- The all-red kiwi, rich in anthocyanins and hardy, has been less studied compared to its green-fleshed counterparts.
- A successful regeneration and transformation protocol was established using leaves as explants, with specific growth media identified for callus induction, shoot regeneration, and rooting.
- The study optimized genetic transformation parameters, achieving a 21% success rate for transforming the red-flesh kiwi variety 'Purpurna Saduwa', providing valuable methods for future genetic research and breeding in kiwifruit.
Introduction: Hardy kiwifruit () has an extensive range of nutritional and bioactive compounds and has been valued as a great resource for kiwifruit breeding. A better understanding of the dynamic changes of the composition and accumulation of nutritional compounds during fruit development and ripening is required before genetic or cultural improvements can be targeted.
Methods: In the present study, the phytochemical analysis of two cultivars 'Yilv' and 'Lvmi-1' showed that they comprised different morphology, with a higher fruit diameter while a lower vertical fruit diameter of 'Lvmi-1' compared with 'Yilv'.
As one of the key enzymes in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) provides NADPH and plays an important role in plant development and stress responses. However, little information was available about the G6PDH genes in strawberry ( × ). The recent release of the whole-genome sequence of strawberry allowed us to perform a genome-wide investigation into the organization and expression profiling of strawberry G6PDH genes.
