MaMPK19, a key gene enhancing cold resistance by activating the CBF pathway in banana.
Plant Physiol Biochem
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the role of MaMPK19 in enhancing cold resistance in bananas, using the inhibitor SB203580 to assess its impact on stress responses.
- Results indicated that inhibiting MaMPK19 reduced the expression of cold resistance genes and weakened cold tolerance in banana plants.
- The researchers also optimized genetic transformation methods for bananas, achieving notable regeneration and positive transformation rates, which may aid in future breeding efforts.
Tyrosine hydroxylase is crucial for pupal pigmentation in Zeugodacus tau (Walker) (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the initial enzyme responsible for cuticle sclerotization and pigmentation in many insect species, but to date, no direct functional studies have focused on TH in Zeugodacus tau. Here, the 3336-bp full-length cDNA of TH was isolated from Z. tau, a notorious horticultural pest infesting fruits and vegetables.
