Flavonoids, particularly anthocyanin is the main pigment that determined the red color of peach flowers, and help the plant to attract pollinators, protect the reproductive organs of flower from photo-oxidative effects of light and various non-communicable diseases. Through weightage gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) we identified a network of 15 hub genes that co-expressed throughout peach flower development including 5 genes coded for the key enzymes (CHI, F3'H, DFR, LAR and UFGT) of flavonoid biosynthetic pathway and 1 gene Prupe.1G111700 identified as R2R3 family transcription factor MYB108. Over expression of PpMYB108 significantly increased anthocyanin biosynthesis in Tobacco flowers. Moreover, the expression correlation between PpMYB108 and PpDFR, suggests that PpMYB108 play the role of transcriptional activator for PpDFR. This was further supported by a 6 bp insertion of MYB biding site in the core promoter region of PpDFR in red flower. The positive interaction of PpMYB108 with PpDFR promoter from red flower was confirmed in yeast one hybrid assay. These findings may be helpful in peach breeding programs as well as in identifying anthocyanin related genes in other species.

Purpose: This study explored how exogenous silicon (Si) affects growth and salt resistance in maize.
Methods: The maize was cultivated in sand-filled pots, incorporating varied silicon and salt stress (NaCl) treatments. Silicon was applied at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 mM, and salt stress was induced using 0, 60 and120 mM concentrations.

Fruit ripening is a highly-orchestrated process that requires the fine-tuning and precise control of gene expression, which is mainly governed by phytohormones, epigenetic modifiers, and transcription factors. How these intrinsic regulators coordinately modulate the ripening remains elusive. Here we report the identification and characterization of FvALKBH10B as an N-methyladenosine (mA) RNA demethylase necessary for the normal ripening of strawberry (Fragaria vesca) fruit.

Studies of in situ plant response and adaptation to complex environmental stresses, are crucial for understanding the mechanisms of formation and functioning of ecosystems of anthropogenically transformed habitats. We study short- and long-term responses of photosynthetic apparatus (PSA) and anti-oxidant capacity to complex abiotic stresses of common plants Calamagrostis epigejos and Solidago gigantea in semi-natural (C) and heavy metal contaminated habitats (LZ). We found significant differences in leaf pigment content between both plant species growing on LZ plots and their respective C populations.
