Functional Divergence of the Closely Related Genes PhARF5 and PhARF19a in Flower Formation and Hormone Signaling.

The ARF gene family plays a vital role in regulating multiple aspects of plant growth and development. However, detailed research on the role of the ARF family in regulating flower development in petunia and other plants remains limited. This study investigates the distinct roles of and in flower development.

DNA methylome analysis reveals novel insights into active hypomethylated regulatory mechanisms of temperature-dependent flower opening in .

Short-term ambient low temperature (ALT) stimulation is necessary for to facilitate continued flower opening after floral bud development reaches maturity. DNA methylation, a vital epigenetic modification, regulates various biological processes in response to temperature fluctuations. However, its role in temperature-driven flower opening remains elusive.

The Role of Herbal Medicine in Modulating Bone Homeostasis.

Osteoporosis and other bone diseases are a major public health concern worldwide. Current pharmaceutical treatments for bone disorders have limitations, driving interest in complementary herbal medicines that can help maintain bone health. This review summarizes the scientific evidence for medicinal herbs that modulate bone cell activity and improve bone mass, quality and strength.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Gene Family during Flower-Opening Stages in .

is an aromatic plant which is widely used in landscaping and garden greening in China. However, the process of flower opening is significantly affected by ambient temperature changes. Cell expansion in petals is the primary factor responsible for flower opening.
