Study compared drought responses in P. pygmaea, P. elliottii, and P. massoniana. P. pygmaea showed higher antioxidant capacity and gene expression changes related to drought tolerance. Important for understanding plant resilience to climate change.
Scientists studied the RNA helicase gene family in sweetpotato to understand its role in stress responses and evolution. This can help improve sweetpotato resilience and productivity. Overexpressing one gene showed promise in cold stress response.
Researchers analyzed genetic data from 416 wheat accessions to trace the origins of spelt, a primitive wheat subspecies crucial for modern breeding. Understanding spelt's evolution and genetic contribution aids in developing improved wheat varieties.
Tossers studied potential benefits of Hedyotis diffusa Willd on rheumatoid arthritis using gene analysis and experimental verification to target MMP9, finding its regulatory impact on RA progression. Implications for future traditional Chinese medicine research on RA.
Researchers studied small RNAs during coffee plant development, identifying specific types like miRNAs and tRFs. They found a co-expression pattern in resistance genes across all stages, with miRNAs showing stage-specific accumulation related to hormonal responses and transcription factors. This research provides insights into plant growth regulation.
Researchers analyzed prickle development in Xanthoceras sorbifolia and identified key genes and pathways involved in lignification. Understanding this process can help improve management and harvesting of this economically important tree species.
Dragon's blood, a valuable traditional medicine, is limited by the endangered Dracaena species. Identifying stable reference genes for gene expression analysis can boost artificial production and research on flavonoid biosynthesis pathways.
Researchers identified gene McPRR2 as key in regulating bitter gourd pericarp color. Its overexpression in tomato increases chlorophyll content, enhancing green color. This study offers valuable insights for genetic improvement in breeding programs.
