Whole-Genome Identification of Regulatory Function of CDPK Gene Families in Cold Stress Response for and var. Tortuosa.

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPK) are known to mediate plant growth and development and respond to various environmental changes. Here, we performed whole-genome identification of CDPK families in cultivated and wild mei (). We identified 14 and 17 CDPK genes in and var.

Genome-Wide Identification of the and Gene Families in Response to Cold Stress in .

Protein kinases of the MAPK cascade family (MAPKKK-MAPKK-MAPK) play an essential role in plant stress response and hormone signal transduction. However, their role in the cold hardiness of (Mei), a class of ornamental woody plant, remains unclear. In this study, we use bioinformatic approaches to assess and analyze two related protein kinase families, namely, MAP kinases (MPKs) and MAPK kinases (MKKs), in wild and its variety var.

Asymptotic tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in hexaploids.

Hexaploids, a group of organisms containing three complete sets of chromosomes in a single nucleus, are of utmost importance to evolutionary studies and breeding programs. Many studies have focused on hexaploid linkage analysis and QTL mapping in controlled crosses, but little methodology has been developed to reveal how hexaploids diversify and evolve in natural populations. We formulate a general framework for studying the pattern of genetic variation in autohexaploid populations through testing deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) at individual molecular markers.

Gene Family Analysis of Eight Rosaceae Genomes Reveals the Genomic Marker of Cold Stress in .

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play important roles in plant growth, development, and stress response. However, the pattern of how they are expressed in response to cold stress in the ornamental woody plant is poorly understood. Here, we identify 121 from eight Rosaceae plants of which 13 genes are from .

Genome-wide identification of the gene family mediating the cold stress response in .

The Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporter (SWEET) gene family encodes a family of sugar transporters that play essential roles in plant growth, reproduction, and biotic and abiotic stresses. is a considerable ornamental wood plant with high edible and medicinal values; however, its lack of tolerance to low temperature has severely limited its geographical distribution. To investigate whether this gene family mediates the response of to cold stress, we identified that the gene family consists of 17 members and divided the family members into four groups.

Mapping Floral Genetic Architecture in , an Ornamental Woody Plant.

Floral traits are both evolutionarily and economically relevant for ornamental plants. However, their underlying genetic architecture, especially in woody ornamental plants, is still poorly understood. We perform mapping experiments aimed at identifying specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that control the size, shape, architecture, color, and timing of flowers in mei ().

The Melastoma dodecandrum genome and the evolution of Myrtales.

Melastomataceae has abundant morphological diversity with high economic and ornamental merit in Myrtales. The phylogenetic position of Myrtales is still contested. Here, we report the chromosome-level genome assembly of Melastoma dodecandrum in Melastomataceae.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of monotypic (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus in China.

, a shrub narrowly endemic to Yunnan, southwest China, is a monotypic genus of Sonerileae in Melastomataceae. The species, , is dwindling and is listed as 'Near Threatened (NT)' by IUCN Red List of China. Herein, we report the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence assembled from Illumina pair-end sequencing data.

The re-sequencing and re-assembly of complete chloroplast genome of (Melastomataceae) from Fujian, China.

The plant genus of the family Melastomataceae is comprised of nine species and one variety in China. is the only creeping species of this genus. Previous study has reported the complete chloroplast genome of from Guangzhou, China, but there may be some differences between plant populations from different regions.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Melastomataceae).

Lour. belongs to tribe Sonerileae (Melastomataceae), comprising about 18 species worldwide. Herein, we presented, assembled, and annotated the first complete chloroplast genome of ().
