RsCDF3, a member of Cycling Dof Factors, positively regulates cold tolerance via auto-regulation and repressing two RsRbohs transcription in radish (Raphanus sativus L.).

Radish is one of the most economical root vegetable crops worldwide. Cold stress dramatically impedes radish taproot formation and development as well as reduces its yield and quality. Although the Cycling Dof Factors (CDFs) play crucial roles in plant growth, development and abiotic stress responses, how CDF TFs mediate the regulatory network of cold stress response remains largely unexplored in radish.

RsGLK2.1-RsNF-YA9a module positively regulates the chlorophyll biosynthesis by activating RsHEMA2 in green taproot of radish.

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is an economically important and widely cultivated root vegetable crop. The coloration of the green skin and green flesh is an important trait influencing the nutrition and flavor quality in fruit radish.

contributes to cold stress tolerance and cell expansion of taproot in radish ( L.).

The growth and development of taproots are inhibited by cold stress in radish ( L.). Ethylene-responsive element binding factors (ERF) are key participators in the cold stress response and growth regulation of plants.

A chromosome-level genome assembly of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) reveals insights into genome adaptation and differential bolting regulation.

High-quality radish (Raphanus sativus) genome represents a valuable resource for agronomical trait improvements and understanding genome evolution among Brassicaceae species. However, existing radish genome assembly remains fragmentary, which greatly hampered functional genomics research and genome-assisted breeding. Here, using a NAU-LB radish inbred line, we generated a reference genome of 476.

Fine mapping and candidate gene analysis of CRA3.7 conferring clubroot resistance in Brassica rapa.

In this study, we fine-mapped a clubroot resistance gene CRA3.7 in Chinese cabbage and developed its closely linked marker syau-InDel3008 for marker-assisted selection in CR cultivars breeding. Chinese cabbage is an important leafy vegetable rich in many nutrients widely grown in China.

Starch content changes and metabolism-related gene regulation of Chinese cabbage synergistically induced by Plasmodiophora brassicae infection.

Clubroot is one of the major diseases adversely affecting Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) yield and quality. To precisely characterize the Plasmodiophora brassicae infection on Chinese cabbage, we developed a dual fluorescent staining method for simultaneously examining the pathogen, cell structures, and starch grains. The number of starch (amylopectin) grains increased in B.

QTL mapping for Fusarium wilt resistance based on the whole-genome resequencing and their association with functional genes in Raphanus sativus.

Two major QTL associated with resistance to Fusarium wilt (FW) were identified using whole-genome resequencing. Sequence variations and gene expression level differences suggest that TIR-NBS and LRR-RLK are candidate genes associated with FW-resistance. Fusarium wilt (FW) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.

Transcriptome Sequencing and Chemical Analysis Reveal the Formation Mechanism of White Florets in L.

L. (safflower), an economic crop and herb, has been extensively studied for its diverse chemical constituents and pharmacological effects, but the mechanism of safflower pigments (SP) leading to different colors of florets has not been clarified. In the present study, we compared the contents of SP in two varieties of safflower with white and red florets, named Xinhonghua No.

Fine-mapping of a major QTL (Fwr1) for fusarium wilt resistance in radish.

A major radish QTL (Fwr1) for fusarium wilt resistance was fine-mapped. Sequence and expression analyses suggest that a gene encoding a serine/arginine-rich protein kinase is a candidate gene for Fwr1. Fusarium wilt resistance locus 1 (Fwr1) is a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) mediating the resistance of radish inbred line 'B2' to Fusarium oxysporum, which is responsible for fusarium wilt.

Isolation and characterization of fusarium wilt resistance gene analogs in radish.

The resistance gene analog (RGA)-based marker strategy is an effective supplement for current marker reservoir of radish disease-resistance breeding. In this study, we identified RGAs based on the conserved nucleotide-binding site (NBS) and S-receptor-like kinase (SRLK) domains. A total of 68 NBS-RGAs and 46 SRLK-RGAs were isolated from two FW-resistant radish inbred lines, B2 and YR31, and one susceptible line, YR15.

[Study on plant regeneration from somatic embryos of vulnerable medicinal plant Glehnia littoralis].

Objective: To study the cause of the seeds dormancy of Glehnia littoralis in vitro and to establish plant regeneration methods via somatic embryos.

Method: The effects of endosperm and exogenous hormone on the seed dormancy breaking of G. littoralis and the effect of hormone concentration on embryonic callus induction and plant regeneration via somatic embryos were observed,

Results: The germination rate of the seeds with 1/3 endosperm was the highest which achieved 31%.
