Melatonin Delays Postharvest Senescence through Suppressing the Inhibition of BrERF2/BrERF109 on Flavonoid Biosynthesis in Flowering Chinese Cabbage.

Flowering Chinese cabbage is prone to withering, yellowing and deterioration after harvest. Melatonin plays a remarkable role in delaying leaf senescence and increasing flavonoid biosynthesis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of melatonin procrastinating postharvest senescence by regulating flavonoid biosynthesis remain largely unknown.

Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal the mechanism of uniconazole inducing hypocotyl dwarfing by suppressing BrbZIP39- module mediating lignin biosynthesis in flowering Chinese cabbage.

Uniconazole, a triazole plant growth regulator, is widely used to regulate plant height and prevent the overgrowth of seedlings. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of uniconazole in inhibiting the hypocotyl elongation of seedlings is still largely unclear, and there has been little research on the integration of transcriptomic and metabolomic data to investigate the mechanisms of hypocotyl elonga-tion. Herein we observed that the hypocotyl elongation of flowering Chinese cabbage seedings was significantly inhibited by uniconazole.

High relative humidity improves leaf burn resistance in flowering Chinese cabbage seedlings cultured in a closed plant factory.

Plant factories that ensure the annual production of vegetable crops have sparked much attention. In the present study, thirty types of common vegetable crops from 25 species and eight families, were grown in a multi-layer hydroponic system in a closed-type plant factory to evaluate the adaptive performance. A total of 20 vegetable crops, belonging to 14 species and 4 families, unexpectedly exhibited different degrees of leaf margin necrosis in lower leaves firstly, then the upper leaves gradually.

Benzoic Acid, Chlorine Dioxide, and 1-Methylcyclopropene Induce Flavonoid Metabolic Shifts in Postharvest Flowering Chinese Cabbage Revealed by High-Dimensional Analytical Data.

Effects of exogenous sucrose and selenium on plant growth, quality, and sugar metabolism of pea sprouts.

Background: Pea sprouts are considered a healthy food. Sucrose is a key nutritional factor affecting taste and flavor. Meanwhile, selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient that plays multiple roles in wide variety of physiological processes and improves crop quality and nutritional value.

The DnaJ Gene Family in Pepper ( L.): Comprehensive Identification, Characterization and Expression Profiles.

The DnaJ proteins which function as molecular chaperone played critical roles in plant growth and development and response to heat stress (HS) and also called heat shock protein 40 based on molecular weight. However, little was reported on this gene family in pepper. Recently, the release of the whole pepper genome provided an opportunity for identifying putative DnaJ homologous.
