Article Synopsis
- Eleocharis dulcis, known as Chinese water chestnut, is a popular aquatic vegetable recognized for its nutritional benefits and unique flavor, now cultivated globally.
- Researchers successfully assembled a comprehensive genome of E. dulcis, spanning 493.24 Mb and organized into 111 chromosomes, revealing a significant presence of repeat elements and many predicted protein-coding genes.
- Analysis of the plant's genomic evolution indicated past events of chromosome breakage and duplication, while a study on gene expression during corm development showed notable differences between cultivated and wild varieties, especially during the middle swelling stage where genes related to starch metabolism were highly expressed.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a type of night-blooming waterlily, a key model for understanding early flowering plant evolution, particularly regarding floral traits.
- It found that the flower's scent is mainly composed of methylated benzenoids, which are emitted in a specific pattern based on time and tissue type.
- The research identifies several oxygen methyltransferases responsible for producing these scents and shows that certain scent compounds play a crucial role in deterring aphids, shedding light on the evolutionary and ecological importance of floral scents in ancient flowering plants.

Phyllosphere microorganisms are closely linked to plant health. This study investigated the effect of ozonated water, mancozeb, and thiophanate-methyl on phyllosphere microorganisms in strawberry plants of the "Hongyan" variety. Sequencing analysis of the phyllosphere bacterial and fungal communities was performed using 16S rRNA gene fragment and ITS1 region high-throughput sequencing after spraying ozonated water, mancozeb, thiophanate-methyl, and clear water.

The aim of this study is to acquire information for future breeding efforts aimed at improving fruit quality effects on aroma by comparing the diversity of Chinese local peach cultivars across 10 samples of three varieties (honey peach, yellow peach, and flat peach). The volatile components of peach fruits were analyzed and identified by gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the main flavor components of peach fruit were determined by relative odor activity value (ROAV) and principal component analysis (PCA). A total number of 57 volatile components were detected by GC-IMS, including eight aldehydes, nine alcohols, eight ketones, 22 esters, two acids, two phenols, two pyrazines, one thiophene, one benzene, and two furans.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers investigated the domestication of water caltrop (Trapa spp.), an underused non-cereal crop, revealing its historical significance in early Chinese agriculture.
- They generated a high-quality genome assembly and found that water caltrop was likely first domesticated around 6300 years ago in the Yangtze River Valley and improved roughly 800 years ago.
- By analyzing genetic data, they identified key genes involved in traits like larger fruit size and stronger root systems, contributing to insights on plant domestication and potential breeding strategies for this aquatic species.
