Scientists studied the regulatory network and mechanisms of secondary xylem formation using hybrid poplar. They identified genes and miRNAs involved, providing insights for industries like papermaking and biofuels.
17 SKP1-like genes involved in ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation were identified in apples, with some genes associated with flowers or fruits. Their expression was influenced by various factors, aiding in the understanding and improvement of apple stress resistance.
Study analyzes bud development in high- and low-tillering orchardgrass genotypes, finding key roles for photosynthesis, carbohydrates, nitrogen, and phytohormones in tiller induction and development. Can inform breeding for higher forage yields in orchardgrass and other grasses.
The researchers studied the AP2/ERF genes in a potential fruit crop. They found 218 genes with notable variations, and identified their roles in hormone responses and stress. This study provides insights for breeding and improving fruit quality in harsh environments.
Researchers found that S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase is the most stable reference gene in a medicinal herb, with potential to enhance alkaloid production through synthetic biology.
Scientists conducted a comprehensive analysis of the gene family in rose. They found that these genes play a role in defending against infection in roses. Understanding the function of these genes can help improve disease resistance in roses.
