Characterization of the GGP gene family in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and its expression analysis under hormonal and abiotic stresses.

GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase (GGP) is a key rate-limiting enzyme in plant ascorbic acid synthesis, which plays an important role in plant growth and development as well as stress response. However, the presence of GGP and its function in potato and pepper are not known. In this study, we first identified two GGP genes in each potato and pepper genomes using a genome-wide search approach.

CsSHMT3 gene enhances the growth and development in cucumber seedlings under salt stress.

Salt stress is one of the major factors limiting plant growth and productivity. Many studies have shown that serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) gene play an important role in growth, development and stress response in plants. However, to date, there have been few studies on whether SHMT3 can enhance salt tolerance in plants.

The Crucial Role of SlGSNOR in Regulating Postharvest Tomato Fruit Ripening.

-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is a well-known regulator in controlling protein -nitrosylation modification and nitric oxide (NO) homeostasis. Here, a GSNOR inhibitor N6022 and silencing were applied to investigate the roles of SlGSNOR in tomato fruit postharvest ripening. We found that the application of N6022 and -nitrosoglutathione (GSNO, a NO donor), and silencing delayed the transition of fruit skin color by improving total chlorophyll level by 88.

SlSERK3B Promotes Tomato Seedling Growth and Development by Regulating Photosynthetic Capacity.

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of polyhydroxylated steroids for plant growth and development, regulating numerous physiological and biochemical processes and participating in multi-pathway signaling in plants. 24-Epibrassinolide (EBR) is the most commonly used BR for the investigation of the effects of exogenous steroidal phytohormones on plant physiology. Although is considered a gene involved in the brassinosteroid (BR) signaling pathway, its specific role in plant growth and development has not been reported in detail.

Characterization of the Gene Family in Tomato ( L.) and the Expression Analysis of s in Response to Hormone and Abiotic Stresses.

Fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins (FLAs), a subclass of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs), participate in mediating plant growth, development, and response to abiotic stress. However, the characterization and function of in tomato are currently unknown. In this study, members of the tomato family are characterized and analyzed in relation to their response to phytohormonal and abiotic stresses.
