Researchers found that UGT88A1 enzyme influences Grifola frondosa's growth, polysaccharide production, and antioxidant activity. Understanding this enzyme's role can lead to better understanding of polysaccharide synthesis and metabolic regulation.
Researchers sequenced the wild Brassica oleracea genome and identified genes important for domestication, diversity, and curd formation in cauliflower and broccoli. This study enhances understanding of crop evolution and genetic improvement.
Researchers sequenced the genome of Baccaurea ramiflora, a valuable tree species in South and Southeast Asia, revealing genetic relationships and potential for breeding and research in the Phyllanthaceae family. Useful for improving tree genetics.
CRISPR/CAS9 was used to knock out NtSARD1 genes in tobacco, reducing SA biosynthesis and immune response to Pst DC3000 infection. Results show NtSARD1's crucial role in plant immunity. The study also highlights the utility of CRISPR/CAS9 in studying gene functions in polyploid plants.
T. caucasicum and S. rosmarinus essential oils inhibit A. flavus growth and AFB production by 20.61-89.16%. Down-regulate aflR gene. Potential for controlling fungal contamination in food crops.
Researchers studied how flavonoids in help the plant tolerate alkaline salt stress by analyzing metabolites and gene expression. Flavonoids act as antioxidants, aiding in stress tolerance. Findings offer new insights for improving plant tolerance to environmental stress.
Researchers studied the impact of Xap on peach trees, finding it threatens yield and quality globally. Understanding this disease is crucial for effective management in peach cultivation.
