Article Synopsis
- * Nine pepper AINV genes were identified, classified into cell wall invertases and vacuolar invertases, showing similarities to AINVs in other plants.
- * Expression analyses revealed distinct patterns for two specific invertases, suggesting they are crucial for sucrose hydrolysis during the reproductive stages of pepper fruit development.
Article Synopsis
- - Alkaline/neutral invertase (NINV) proteins are crucial for breaking down sucrose into fructose and glucose and are important for plant growth, particularly during the development of pepper fruits.
- - Researchers identified seven NINV genes in peppers, classifying them into α and β groups, with one gene (CaNINV7) having missing sequences compared to others.
- - Expression analysis showed that CaNINV5 is the main enzyme involved in sucrose hydrolysis during fruit development, with its activity peaking at specific developmental stages and an optimal pH of around 7.5.
Rapid evolution of powdery mildew resistance gene MlIW170 orthologous genomic regions in wheat subgenomes. Wheat is one of the most important staple grain crops in the world and also an excellent model for plant ploidy evolution research with different ploidy levels from diploid to hexaploid.
