Characterization of Japanese Plum (Prunus salicina) PsMYB10 Alleles Reveals Structural Variation and Polymorphisms Correlating With Fruit Skin Color
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-08)
The red to blue hue of plant organs is caused due to anthocyanins, which are water-soluble flavonoid pigments. The accumulation of these pigments is regulated by a complex of R2R3-MYB transcription ...
Cytochrome c Deficiency Differentially Affects the In Vivo Mitochondrial Electron Partitioning and Primary Metabolism Depending on the Photoperiod
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)
Plant respiration provides metabolic flexibility under changing environmental conditions by modulating the activity of the nonphosphorylating alternative pathways from the mitochondrial electron transport ...
Woodland strawberry axillary bud fate is dictated by a crosstalk of environmental and endogenous factors
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2021-09-01)
Plant architecture is defined by fates and positions of meristematic tissues and has direct consequences on yield potential and environmental adaptation of the plant. In strawberries (Fragaria vesca L. ...
Decreased levels of Thioredoxin o1 influences stomatal development and aperture but not Photosynthesis under non-stress and saline conditions
(MDPI, 2021-01-21)
Salinity has a negative impact on plant growth, with photosynthesis being downregulated partially due to osmotic effect and enhanced cellular oxidation. Redox signaling contributes to the plant response ...
A cryptic variation in a member of the Ovate Family Proteins is underlying the melon fruit shape QTL fsqs8.1
(Springer, 2021-11-25)
Melon cultivars have a wide range of fruit morphologies. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been identifed underlying such diversity. This research focuses on the fruit shape QTL fsqs8.1, previously ...
Comparative QTL analysis in peach ‘Earlygold’ F2 and backcross progenies
(Elsevier, 2021-11-17)
Based on detailed maps, DNA sequences and phenotypic data, there is a great deal of information on the genetics and genomics of ‘Earlygold’, a historical peach cultivar from the US. The F2 between ‘Texas’ ...
Light signals generated by vegetation shade facilitate acclimation to low light in shade-avoider plants
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2021-05-07)
When growing in search for light, plants can experience continuous or occasional shading by other plants. Plant proximity causes a decrease in the ratio of R to far-red light (low R:FR) due to the ...
Peach allergen Pru p 1 content is generally low in fruit but with large variation in different varieties
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-05-14)
Background: Pru p 1 is a major allergen in peach and nectarine, and the different content in varieties may affect the degree of allergic reactions. This study aimed to quantify Pru p 1 levels in ...
Different Metabolic Roles for Alternative Oxidase in Leaves of Palustrine and Terrestrial Species
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-04)
The alternative oxidase pathway (AOP) is associated with excess energy dissipation
in leaves of terrestrial plants. To address whether this association is less important
in palustrine plants, we ...
Shape, firmness and fruit quality QTLs shared in two non-related strawberry populations
(Elsevier, 2021-07-29)
The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is an octoploid species (2n = 8x = 56), appreciated widely for its fruit. There have been very few studies on fruit quality traits, which are known to be ...
