Bacterial populations associated with the surfaces of cranberry flowers and early fruits in wetlands bogs in Eastern Massachusetts were examined using pyrosequencing. The composition of bacterial populations was highly dependent on sample site, but the dominant phyla on both flower and berry surfaces were , , and

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Prolonged utilization of chemical fertilizers can harm the soil and disturb the equilibrium of nutrients, resulting in a decline in cherry tomato yield. To enhance the growth of cherry tomato plants, it is necessary to add organic chemicals. The research aimed to determine the best elicitor biosaka concentration to apply to evoke the plant growth of cherry tomatoes (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i> L.

During the dormant period of peach trees in winter, flower buds exhibit weak cold resistance and are susceptible to freezing at low temperatures. Understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the response of local peach buds to low-temperature adversity is crucial for ensuring normal flowering, fruiting, and yield. In this study, the experimental materials included the conventional cultivar 'Xia cui' (XC) and the cold-resistant local resources 'Ding jiaba' (DJB) peach buds.

Introduction: The species is a typical shrub with assimilative branches (ABs) in arid regions in Central Asia. The nutrient distribution patterns at different reproductive stages are of great significance for further understanding the ecological adaptation and survival strategies of plants.
Methods: In the present study, a common garden experiment was employed to avoid interference by environmental heterogeneity.

This review covers the latest developments on the regulation of early seed development by phytohormones. The development of seeds in flowering plants starts with the fertilization of the maternal gametes by two paternal sperm cells. This leads to the formation of two products, embryo and endosperm, which are surrounded by a tissue of maternal sporophytic origin, called the seed coat.

Physalis alkekengi L. is recognized as a significant source of various secondary metabolites, particularly c28 steroidal lactones known as withanolides and physalins, renowned for their therapeutic properties with a rich history in traditional medicine. In this study, we characterized the sequences of key downstream genes (PaFPPS, PaSQS, PaSQE, PaCAS, PaHYD1, and PaDWF5-1) involved in the biosynthesis of withanolides, marking the first characterization of these genes in P.
