Article Synopsis
  • In the study, researchers looked at how maize plants help the growth of another plant through their roots and other factors.
  • They found that growing maize together with the other plant made the other plant grow better and produce more oils.
  • The soil around the roots changed to be more acidic, which attracted helpful microbes that further supported the growth of the other plant!

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the expression patterns of microRNA (miRNA) during embryo dormancy and provide insights into seed dormancy and germination mechanisms.
  • Using high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics, researchers identified a total of 31 known miRNAs from 13 families and predicted 93 new miRNAs, with a focus on those related to seed dormancy release.
  • The identified miRNAs were linked to important biological processes like carbohydrate metabolism and plant hormone signaling, and their sequencing results were validated through real-time PCR analysis.

In this study, the roots, stems and leaves of diploid and autotetraploid Dendrobium huoshanense were used as materials to compare their contents of polysaccharides and alkaloids, and the transcriptome sequencing analysis was carried out. The results showed that the contents of polysaccharides and alkaloids in the roots, stems and leaves of tetraploid were 7.6%, 34.

The study aims at exploring the expression of differential genes and related metabolic pathways in the process of seed dormancy release. The dormant embryo and the dormant released embryo of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis were used as the test materials, a new generation high-throughput sequencing methods to sequence the transcriptome of the samples was used to carry out systematic bioinformatics analysis.

Stevia rebaudiana is an important medical plant for producing steviol glycosides (SGs) or stevioside. Autotetraploids (4x = 44) show an increasing level of morphology, physiology and tolerances comparing to diploids (2x = 22). However, little information regarded on the comparative transcriptome analysis between diploid and autotetraploid S.

In this paper, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy fingerprint analysis of Marsdenia tenacissima samples was used to develop a reliable method of tracing the geographical origins. Forty-eight samples from four provinces of China were analyzed by FTIR. We analyzed and characterized the fingerprints in both the full spectrum peaks and characteristic peaks, then the principal component analysis and the cluster analysis were carried out.
