The predominant flavones in the ray florets of chrysanthemum flowers are apigenin and its derivatives. CmHY5 participates in apigenin biosynthesis by directly regulating the expression of FNSII-1 in chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) flowers have been used for centuries as functional food and in herbal tea and traditional medicine. The chrysanthemum flower contains significant amounts of the biologically active compound flavones, which has medicinal properties. However, the mechanism regulating flavones biosynthesis in chrysanthemum flowers organs is still unclear. Here, we compared the transcriptomes and metabolomes of different floral organs between two cultivars with contrasting flavone levels in their flowers. We identified 186 flavonoids by metabolome analysis. The predominant flavones in the ray florets of chrysanthemum flowers are apigenin and its derivatives, of which the contents are highly correlated with the expression of flavones synthase II gene CmFNSII-1. We also determined that CmHY5 is a direct upstream regulator of CmFNSII-1 transcription. We showed that CmHY5 RNAi interference lines in chrysanthemum have lower contents of apigenin compared to wild-type chrysanthemum. Our results demonstrated that CmHY5 participates in flavone biosynthesis by directly regulating the expression of FNSII-1 in chrysanthemum.

The flowering time of Chrysanthemum morifolium predominantly depends on day length but is also sensitive to ambient temperature. However, the mechanisms underlying the response of chrysanthemum to ambient temperature are mainly unknown. This study identified a MADS-box transcription factor called CmFLC-like, a representative low ambient temperature-responsive factor induced in chrysanthemum leaves and shoot apical meristems at 15°C.

Light is one of the most important environmental factors that affect plant growth and development. It also stimulates anthocyanin biosynthesis in plants. However, the precise molecular mechanisms through which light regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis, particularly in non-model plant species, remain poorly understood.

Temporal decline in microRNA miR156 expression is crucial for the transition to, and maintenance of, the adult phase and flowering competence in flowering plants. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the temporal regulation of miR156 reduction remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the epigenetic mechanism regulating the temporal silencing of cin-MIR156 in wild chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum indicum), focusing on the role of the lysine-specific demethylase CiLDL1 and the nuclear factor Y complex.

Tulip poplar () is a member of the Magnolia family, is a large, fast-growing, long-lived, deciduous tree native to eastern North America. One-year-old tulip poplar seedlings grown under field conditions in a commercial nursery in Warren County, Tennessee, exhibited severe root rot in May 2024. Dark brown to black lesions were observed on the affected roots.

Eczematous paradoxical reactions are commonly associated with anti-interleukin-17A (anti-IL-17A) antibodies. However, IL-23 p19 inhibitors can also cause similar cutaneous manifestations. We present a case of a 77-year-old Japanese woman with palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), who developed eczematous lesions on her face, neck, and dorsum of the hands 10 weeks after initiating guselkumab treatment.
