Alternative polyadenylation regulates acetyl-CoA carboxylase function in peanut.

Background: Polyadenylation is a crucial process that terminates mRNA molecules at their 3'-ends. It has been observed that alternative polyadenylation (APA) can generate multiple transcripts from a single gene locus, each with different polyadenylation sites (PASs). This leads to the formation of several 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) that vary in length and composition.

Double gains: Boosting crop productivity and reducing carbon footprints through maize-legume intercropping in the Yellow River Delta, China.

The increasing demand for environmentally friendly agricultural practices has driven the need for diversified crop cultivation to optimize crop productivity while minimizing carbon footprints (CFs). However, the impacts of crop diversification on crop production and environmental benefits are still poorly understood. In this study, conducted at two sites in the Yellow River Delta, China, we investigated the effects of legume intercropping, specifically maize/soybean (M/S) and maize/peanut (M/P) systems, on crop productivity, economic return, ecosystem economic budget (NEEB), CF, and carbon sustainability index (CSI) in comparison to conventional monocrops.

Haplotype analysis and marker development of five salt-tolerant-related genes in rice ( L.).

Salinity stress is a great threat to the growth and productivity of crops, and development of salt-tolerant crops is of great necessity to ensure food security. Although a few genes with natural variations that confer salt tolerance at germination and seedling stage in rice have been cloned, effective intragenic markers for these genes are awaited to be developed, which hinder the use of these genes in genetic improvement of salt tolerance in rice. In this study, we first performed haplotype analysis of five rice salt-tolerant-related genes using 38 rice accessions with reference genome and 4,726 rice germplasm accessions with imputed genotypes and classified main haplotype groups and haplotypes.

Novel supramolecular deep eutectic solvent-enabled in-situ lignin protection for full valorization of all components of wheat straw.

Lignin is usually deemed as an inhibitor to enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose due to its physical barrier, non-productive adsorption, and steric hindrance. Herein, a novel supramolecular deep eutectic solvent (SUPRADES), comprising ethylene glycol and citric acid in 5:1 M ratio, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in a concentration of 3.5% (w/w), was developed to be efficient for pretreating wheat straw.

Integrated lipidomic and transcriptomic analyses reveal the mechanism of lipid biosynthesis and accumulation during seed development in sesame.

Sesame is one of the most important oilseed crops and attracts significant attention because of its huge nutritional capacity.

Endofungal Bacterial Microbiota Promotes the Absorption of Chelated Inorganic Phosphorus by Host Pine through the Ectomycorrhizal System.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi play an irreplaceable role in phosphorus cycling. However, ectomycorrhizal fungi have a limited ability to dissolve chelated inorganic phosphorus, which is the main component of soil phosphorus. Endofungal bacteria in ectomycorrhizal fruiting bodies are always closely related to the ecological function of ectomycorrhizal fungi.

Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analyses Reveal the Roles of Flavonoids and Auxin on Peanut Nodulation.

Rhizobia form symbiotic relationships with legumes, fixing atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-accessible form within their root nodules. Nitrogen fixation is vital for sustainable soil improvements in agriculture. Peanut () is a leguminous crop whose nodulation mechanism requires further elucidation.

Two decades of association mapping: Insights on disease resistance in major crops.

Climate change across the globe has an impact on the occurrence, prevalence, and severity of plant diseases. About 30% of yield losses in major crops are due to plant diseases; emerging diseases are likely to worsen the sustainable production in the coming years. Plant diseases have led to increased hunger and mass migration of human populations in the past, thus a serious threat to global food security.

Characteristics analysis of plastisphere biofilm and effect of aging products on nitrogen metabolizing flora in microcosm wetlands experiment.

The marsh, a significant terrestrial ecosystem, has steadily developed the capacity to act as a microplastics collection place (MPs).
