Tipburn is a physiological disease in Chinese cabbage. In recent years, this disease has become increasingly serious, affecting the quality and economic benefits of Chinese cabbage. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism by which calcium deficiency induces tipburn. Therefore, we performed transcriptome analysis on Y578-2 (tipburn-resistant accession) and Y920-2 (tipburn-susceptible accession) to identify the genes involved in the tipburn defense mechanism in Chinese cabbage. In this study, phenotypic observation showed that Y920-2 began to display symptoms on the 10th day of calcium deficiency treatment. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), three gene modules that were highly related to tipburn resistance were identified. Analysis of gene expression regulation in the three modules revealed 13 hub genes related to tipburn resistance, which were involved in the cell wall, photosynthesis, transcription factors, hormones, and the stress response, indicating that these factors play an important role in the tipburn response of Chinese cabbage. These transcriptome data and analysis results provide a basis for the study of the molecular mechanism of calcium deficiency-induced tipburn in Chinese cabbage.

Leaf mass per area (LMA) and photosynthetic rate (A) explain fast-slow growth strategies in worldwide leaf economic spectrum. Nitrogen (N) promotes A and rapid growth; while LMA response to N supply in a genotype specific manner. Structural traits affect the relationship between LMA and A, and we hypothesized that N supply would affect structural traits and thus the coupling between LMA and A.

In order to explore the suitable diversified planting modes in the Yellow River irrigation area of Ningxia, a total of 4 treatments were designed, including wheat-maize silage intercropping and multiple planting of sorghum-sudangrass hybrid after wheat harvest (T1); wheat-cabbage intercropping, multiple planting of oil sunflower after wheat harvest, followed by maize silage planting after cabbage harvest (T2); sole wheat, after the harvest of wheat, half of the land is used for multiple plantings of maize silage, and the other half is used for multiple plantings of oil sunflower (T3); and sole maize silage (T4). The results showed that all diversified planting modes can increase biomass and land equivalent ratio compared to the control monoculture.

The development of a sensitive, selective, and wide-range biosensor for paraoxon detection is critically demanded due to its high toxicity and environmental prevalence. While complementary multimode biosensing platforms offer enhanced performance like high sensitivity and a wide detection range by synergizing multiple detection strategies, their implementation remains challenging because of compromised reaction compatibility. To address this, an integrated complementary colorimetric/fluorescence dual-mode biosensing platform based on a rationally designed cerium-assembled carbon dot phosphatase-like nanozyme hydrogel (Ce-CD) in tandem with 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin (5,7-DMC) is presented for sensitive, selective, and wide-range detection of paraoxon.

Chalcone isomerase (BraCHI, BraA03g059660.3C) is the candidate gene controlling purple leaf coloration in non-heading Chinese cabbage. A 10-bp deletion in its promoter enhances gene expression in purple plants, likely by disrupting MYB transcription factor binding, leading to anthocyanin accumulation.
