Protein S-acyl transferases (PATs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze protein S-acylation, a post-translational lipid modification involved in protein membrane targeting, trafficking, stability, and protein-protein interaction. S-acylation plays important roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Here, we report the genome-wide analysis of the family genes in the woodland strawberry (), a model plant for studying the economically important Rosaceae family.

There are many factors that affect the yield of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima), with single nut weight (SNW) being one of the most important. Leaf length is also related to Chinese chestnut yield. However, the genetic architecture and gene function associated with Chinese chestnut nut yield have not been fully explored.

Background: Chestnut blight, one of the most serious branch diseases in Castanea caused by Cryphonectria parasitica, which has ravaged across American chestnut and most of European chestnut since the early twentieth century. Interestingly, the Chinese chestnut is strongly resistant to chestnut blight, shedding light on restoring the ecological status of Castanea plants severely affected by chestnut blight. To better explore the early defense of Chinese chestnut elicited in response to C.

The plant cuticle is the outermost layer of the aerial organs and an important barrier against biotic and abiotic stresses. The climate varies greatly between the north and south of China, with large differences in temperature and humidity, but Chinese chestnut is found in both regions. This study investigated the relationship between the wax layer of chestnut leaves and environmental adaptation.

Chinese chestnut (), a species with recalcitrant seeds, is an important source of nuts and forest ecosystem services. The germination rate of recalcitrant seeds is low in natural habitats and decreases under conditions of desiccation and low temperature. The germination rate of cultivated Chinese chestnut seeds is significantly higher than that of wild seeds.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xinghua Nie"

  • - Xinghua Nie's research focuses on the genetic and evolutionary aspects of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima), addressing its adaptation to various climates in East Asia while investigating the genetic relationships within the genus and resistance to diseases like chestnut blight.
  • - Recent studies led by Nie have identified key genes regulating important yield factors such as single nut weight and leaf length, enhancing understanding of the genetic architecture behind Chinese chestnut production.
  • - Nie's work also explores the influence of environmental factors on the cuticle characteristics of chestnut leaves and highlights genetic mechanisms that contribute to the plant's resilience, providing insights that may aid in ecological restoration efforts for affected chestnut species.
