For the study of species evolution, chloroplast gene expression, and transformation, the chloroplast genome is an invaluable resource. Codon usage bias (CUB) analysis is a tool that is utilized to improve gene expression and investigate evolutionary connections in genetic transformation. In this study, we analysed chloroplast genome differences, codon usage patterns and the sources of variation on CUB in 14 Annonaceae species using bioinformatics tools.

Introduction: Extreme environments such as prolonged high temperatures and droughts can cause vulnerability of vegetation ecosystems. The dry-hot valleys of Southwestern China, known for their extremely high annual temperature, lack of water, and unique non-zonal "hot island" habitat in the global temperate zone, provide exceptional sites for studying how plant adapts to the prolonged dry and hot environment. However, the specific local biotic-environment relationships in these regions remain incompletely elucidated.

September 2023

Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, Kyoto Prefectural University, Kitaina-Yazuma Oji 74, Seika-Cho, Soraku-Gun, Kyoto, 619-0244, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated stone cells in the pedicels (stems) of pears and apples, revealing differences in lignification and secondary cell wall formation which are important for support and transport.
  • Pears showed a higher density and continued formation of stone cells compared to apples, leading to distinct differences in flesh texture.
  • Key genes related to stone cell formation were identified, with higher expression in pears than in apples, suggesting a genetic basis for the observed differences in pedicel structure and function.

Article Synopsis
  • The Hengduan Mountains' valleys showcase diverse climates and vegetation, influencing soil composition and enzyme activity.
  • An analysis of soil samples from various land types revealed significant variations in enzyme activities (BG, NAG, AP, SU) linked to different environments and land use.
  • Agricultural practices notably altered the stoichiometry of C:N:P enzymes, increasing BG:NAG and decreasing NAG:AP ratios, highlighting the impact of land use on soil health.
