Article Synopsis
- * In this study, researchers identified 25 SWEET genes in the 'Old Blush' rose, categorizing them into four subgroups and analyzing their structures and potential regulatory roles.
- * Findings reveal significant differences in cold-response gene expression between 'Old Blush' and a more cold-resistant rose species, suggesting specific genes may play a key role in cold tolerance, laying groundwork for developing hardier rose varieties.

Article Synopsis
- The 'Aurea' mutant, a yellow-green leaf variant of an ornamental woody species, was created through Co-γ irradiation, but its molecular mechanisms are still unclear.
- By conducting RNA sequencing, researchers identified 3,372 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the mutant and its normal green counterpart, with significant changes in several biological processes linked to pigment biosynthesis and chloroplast function.
- The study suggests that the altered pigment production in the mutant is a result of imbalanced chlorophyll and carotenoid levels, prompting the activation of alternative metabolic pathways to mitigate photodamage from disrupted chloroplasts.
