Metabolomic and transcriptomic integration reveals the mechanism of aroma formation as strawberries naturally turn colors while ripening.

Aroma is an important indicator of fruit flavor, but mechanisms of aroma formation in strawberries (Fragaria spp.) during natural ripening are still not clear. In this study, aroma compounds in strawberry cultivars were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Low-molecular-weight organic acids inhibit the methane-dependent arsenate reduction process in paddy soils.

Anaerobic methane oxidation (AOM) can drive soil arsenate reduction, a process known as methane-dependent arsenate reduction (M-AsR), which is a critical driver of arsenic (As) release in soil. Low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs), an important component of rice root exudates, have an unclear influence and mechanism on the M-AsR process. To narrow this knowledge gap, three typical LMWOAs-citric acid, oxalic acid, and acetic acid-were selected and added to As-contaminated paddy soils, followed by the injection of CH and incubation under anaerobic conditions.

Identification and fine mapping of Brmmd1 gene controlling recessive genic male sterility in Brassica rapa L.

Recessive genic male sterility (RGMS) provides an effective approach for the commercial exploitation of heterosis, especially in Brassica crops. Although some artificial RGMS mutants have been reported in B. rapa, no causal genes derived from these natural mutants have been identified so far.

SpCTP3 from the hyperaccumulator Sedum plumbizincicola positively regulates cadmium tolerance by interacting with SpMDH1.

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal pollutant mainly originating from the discharge of industrial sewage, irrigation with contaminated water, and the use of fertilizers. The phytoremediation of Cd polluted soil depends on the identification of the associated genes in hyperaccumulators. Here, a novel Cd tolerance gene (SpCTP3) was identified in hyperaccumulator Sedum plumbizincicola.

Establishment of a Homologous Silencing System with Intact-Plant Infiltration and Minimized Operation for Studying Gene Function in Herbaceous Peonies.

Gene function verification is a crucial step in studying the molecular mechanisms regulating various plant life activities. However, a stable and efficient homologous genetic transgenic system for herbaceous peonies has not been established. In this study, using virus-induced gene silencing technology (VIGS), a highly efficient homologous transient verification system with distinctive advantages was proposed, which not only achieves true "intact-plant" infiltration but also minimizes the operation.

Auxin and carbohydrate control flower bud development in Anthurium andraeanum during early stage of sexual reproduction.

Background: Flower buds of Anthurium andraeanum frequently cease to grow and abort during the early flowering stage, resulting in prolonged planting times and increased commercialization costs. Nevertheless, limited knowledge exists of the mechanism of flower development after initiation in A. andraeanum.

Co-foliar application of zinc and nano-silicon to rice helps in reducing cadmium exposure risk: Investigations through in-vitro digestion with human cell line bioavailability assay.

Foliar application of zinc (Zn) or silicon nanoparticles (Si-NPs) may exert regulatory effects on cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice grains, however, their impact on Cd bioavailability during human rice consumption remains elusive. This study comprehensively investigated the application of Zn with or without Si-NPs in reducing Cd accumulation in rice grains as well to exactly evaluate the potential risk of Cd exposure resulting from the rice consumption by employing field experiment as well laboratory bioaccessibility and bioavailability assay. Sole Zn (ZnSO) or in combination with Si (ZnSO +Si and ZnO+Si) efficiently lowered the Cd concentration in rice grains.

Molecular mechanism of salinity and waterlogging tolerance in mangrove .

Mangrove forests are colloquially referred to as "Earth's kidneys" and serve many important ecological and commercial functions. Salinity and waterlogging stress are the most important abiotic stressors restricting the growth and development of mangroves. is the greatest latitudinally-distributed salt mangrove species in China.

Overexpression of a Ramie ( L. Gaud) Group I Gene, , Increases Drought Resistance in A.

Plants face multiple stresses in their natural habitats. transcription factors (TFs) play an important regulatory role in plant stress signaling, regulating the expression of multiple stress-related genes to improve plant stress resistance. In this study, we analyzed the expression profiles of 25 genes in three stages of ramie growth (the seedling stage, the rapid-growth stage, and the fiber maturity stage) and response to abiotic stress through qRT-PCR.

Effects of citric acid on arsenic transformation and microbial communities in different paddy soils.

Root exudate is a major source of soil organic matter and can significantly affect arsenic (As) migration and transformation in paddy soils. Citric acid is the main component of rice root exudate, however, the impacts and rules of citric acid on As bioavailability and rhizobacteria in different soils remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of citric acid on As transformation and microbial community in ten different paddy soils by flooded soil culture experiments.
