Pepper is an important agricultural crop because of the nutritional value of the fruit and its economic importance. Various techniques have been practiced to enhance both the productivity and nutritional value of pepper. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the impact of different training methods and biostimulants applications on the growth, yield, and chemical composition of sweet pepper ( L.) plants under greenhouse conditions. For the training method, unpruned plants were compared with one stem and two stem plants, and for biostimulant applications, control plants were compared with the Disper Root (DR) and Disper Vital (DV). Unpruned plants had the fruit number (33.98), fruit weight (2.18 kg . plant-1), total marketable yield (109 ton . ha-1), and TSS (7.21 %) when considering plants that have either one or two stems for comparison. However, two stem plants had the highest fruit setting (62.41 %), carotenoid (1.37 mg . 100g-1 FW), fruit chlorophyll (35.68 mg . 100g-1 FW), and vitamin C (136.56 mg . 100g FW), the contents were compared to other treatments. DR application resulted to increase in total sugar, carotenoid, vitamin C, and TSS contents significantly compared to both the control and DV application. While, DV application increased fruit setting, plant fruit number, plant fruit weight, and total marketable yield. In addition, integrating one stem plant with the DR application improved fiber, vitamin C, and TSS contents significantly, and two stem plants and the DV application improved fruit setting and carotenoid content. Thus, training methods integrated with biostimulant applications could be considered for developing agricultural practices to obtain commercial yield and improve the chemical composition of sweet pepper, as unpruned plants without biostimulant applications gave a negative impact.
辣椒是一种重要的农作物,因为其果实具有营养价值和重要的经济价值。为了提高辣椒的产量和营养价值,人们采用了各种技术。因此,本研究旨在确定不同的培植方法和生物刺激剂的应用对温室条件下甜椒植株的生长、产量和化学成分的影响。在栽培方法方面,未修剪植株与单茎植株和双茎植株进行了比较;在施用生物刺激剂方面,对照植株与Disper Root(DR)和Disper Vital(DV)进行了比较。在对单茎或双茎植物进行比较时,未修剪植物的果实数量(33.98 个)、果实重量(2.18 千克.株-1)、可销售总产量(109 吨.公顷-1)和总悬浮固体含量(7.21 %)最高。然而,与其他处理相比,双茎植株的坐果率(62.41 %)、类胡萝卜素(1.37 毫克.100 克-1 水分)、果实叶绿素(35.68 毫克.100 克-1 水分)和维生素 C(136.56 毫克.100 克-1 水分)含量最高。与对照和施用 DV 相比,施用 DR 会显著增加总糖、类胡萝卜素、维生素 C 和 TSS 的含量。而施用 DV 则提高了坐果率、植株果实数、植株果实重量和可销售总产量。此外,在施用 DR 的同时种植一株茎叶,纤维、维生素 C 和 TSS 含量都有明显提高;在施用 DV 的同时种植两株茎叶,坐果率和类胡萝卜素含量都有提高。因此,在发展农业实践时,可以考虑采用与施用生物刺激剂相结合的培训方法,以获得甜椒的商业产量并改善其化学成分,因为不施用生物刺激剂的未修剪植株会产生负面影响。

Banana fruit ripening is a highly regulatory process involving various layers consisting of transcriptional regulation, epigenetic factor, and post-translational modification. Previously, we reported that MaERF11 cooperated with MaHDA1 to precisely regulate the transcription of ripening-associated genes via histone deacetylation. However, whether MaERF11 is subjected to post-translational modification during banana ripening is largely unknown. In this study, we found that MaERF11 targeted a subset of starch degradation-related genes using the DNA affinity purification sequence (DAP-Seq) approach. Electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA) and dual-luciferase reporter assay (DLR) demonstrated that MaERF11 could specifically bind and repress the expression of the starch degradation-related genes , and . Further analyses of yeast two-hybrid (Y2H), bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) and Luciferase complementation imaging (LCI) assays indicated that MaERF11 interacted with the ubiquitin E3 ligase MaRFA1, and this interaction weakened the MaERF11-mediated transcriptional repression capacity. Collectively, our results suggest an additional regulatory layer in which MaERF11 regulates banana fruit ripening and expands the regulatory network in fruit ripening at the post-translational modification level.

Cabbage ( var. ) is an economically important vegetable crop grown for its leafy head. Cabbage plants’ vegetative development goes from seedling to rosette, folding and heading stages. Leaves that form the rosette are large and mostly flat, acting as the major photosynthetic organs. In the following developmental stages, the plants produce leaves that curve inward, overlapping the shoot apex to produce the leafy head. These leaves are shielded from the light and act as sink organs. We investigated the role of miRNA-regulated genes in the transition from the rosette to the heading stage. We first phenotyped leaf formation and -expansion for two contrasting (round and pointed) heading cabbage morphotypes to define the rosette and heading developmental stages. This allowed us to collect tissue from young expanding leaves that would develop into, respectively, rosette and heading leaves for miRNA and gene expression analyses. Young leaf tissue of two time points of a non-heading collard green ( var. ) morphotype was used as a control to distinguish the transcripts (miRNAs/genes) that regulate plant age from those defining the transition from rosette to heading leaves in cabbages. For both round and pointed cabbages, we compared the miRNA and mRNA abundances between rosette and heading leaves to identify differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and –genes (DEGs). After correcting for miRNAs and genes related to plant age, we identified 33 DEMs and 1,998 DEGs with roles in the transition from rosette to heading stage. We predicted the target genes of these 33 DEMs and focused on the subset that were DEGs between rosette and heading stage leaves to construct miRNA-target gene interaction networks. Our main finding is a role for miR396b-5p targeting two orthologues of () and - () in pointed cabbage head formation.

Senescence, a crucial developmental process in the life cycle of plants, involves programmed destruction of cellular components of leaves. The onset of senescence is synchronized with other developmental processes for successful reproduction since senescence eventually leads to cell death. Arabinosyltransferase FASCIATED AND BRANCHED 2 (FAB2) is known to control meristem proliferation. Here, we show that FAB2 can inhibit premature leaf senescence in tomato plants. Both chemically mutagenized and CRISPR-generated mutants exhibited excessively accelerated senescence, which resulted in sterility. Transcriptome analysis revealed that extended leaf longevity by suppressing transcription of genes highly expressed in mature leaves. Transcription of was increased in younger leaves, potentially inhibiting premature leaf senescence. The precocious senescence of mutants was in contrast to () mutants, which carried mutations in a hydroxyproline O-arabinosyltransferase gene, leading to meristem overproliferation. Our observations indicate that complex genetic hierarchy in the cascade of tomato arabinosyltransferases could control different aspects of developmental processes such as stem cell proliferation and senescence.
衰老是植物生命周期中的一个关键发育过程,涉及叶片细胞成分的程序性破坏。由于衰老最终会导致细胞死亡,因此衰老的开始要与其他发育过程同步,这样才能成功繁殖。已知阿拉伯糖基转移酶 FASCIATED AND BRANCHED 2(FAB2)能控制分生组织的增殖。在这里,我们发现 FAB2 可以抑制番茄植株叶片的过早衰老。化学诱变和 CRISPR 产生的突变体都表现出过度加速衰老,从而导致不育。转录组分析揭示,通过抑制成熟叶片中高表达基因的转录,延长了叶片的寿命。年轻叶片中的基因转录增加,可能抑制了叶片的过早衰老。突变体的过早衰老与()突变体形成鲜明对比,后者携带羟脯氨酸 O-阿拉伯糖基转移酶基因突变,导致分生组织过度增殖。我们的观察结果表明,番茄阿拉伯糖基转移酶级联中复杂的遗传层次可控制干细胞增殖和衰老等发育过程的不同方面。

Advancements in molecular approaches have been utilized to breed crops with a wide range of economically valuable traits to develop superior cultivars. This review provides a concise overview of modern breakthroughs in molecular plant production. Genotyping and high-throughput phenotyping methods for predictive plant breeding are briefly discussed. In this study, we explore contemporary molecular breeding techniques for producing desirable crop varieties. These techniques include cisgenesis, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR/Cas9) gene editing, haploid induction, and de novo domestication. We examine the speed breeding approach—a strategy for cultivating plants under controlled conditions. We further highlight the significance of modern breeding technologies in efficiently utilizing agricultural resources for crop production in urban areas. The deciphering of crop genomes has led to the development of extensive DNA markers, quantitative trait loci (QTLs), and pangenomes associated with various desirable crop traits. This shift to the genotypic selection of crops considerably expedites the plant breeding process. Based on the plant population used, the connection between genotypic and phenotypic data provides several genetic elements, including genes, markers, and alleles that can be used in genomic breeding and gene editing. The integration of speed breeding with genomic-assisted breeding and cutting-edge genome editing tools has made it feasible to rapidly manipulate and generate multiple crop cycles and accelerate the plant breeding process. Breakthroughs in molecular techniques have led to substantial improvements in modern breeding methods.

In grapevine, previous studies have suggested that, gibberellin (GA) inhibits bud break before dormancy release while enhanced after dormancy release; the capacity of GA accumulation shows a trend of first inhibition and then upregulation. However, the regulatory mechanism of GA metabolism genes expression is as yet unclear during the process of dormancy release. In this study, we further validated the effect of GA and hydrogen cyanamide (HC) on bud break of ‘Red globe’ grape, confirmed inhibition and promotion effect, respectively. Restricted GA biosynthetic genes’ expression and enhanced GA catabolic gene’s expression were observed in the early stage after HC treatment, while opposite expression trend showed in the late stage. , a MADS-box transcription factor gene, was downregulated in the late stage, which might play an important role in regulating GA metabolism genes’ expression. It was shown that, VvSVP1 could bind to the promoter regions of GA biosynthetic gene and catabolic gene , negatively and positively regulated the corresponding genes’ expression, respectively; the contents of GAs related to GA20ox were significantly reduced in the grape callus overexpressed , while the ratio of GAs related to GA2ox were significantly increased. Taken together, VvSVP1 can regulate the endogenous GAs level by manipulating the expression of GA metabolism genes before dormant bud break induced by HC. Our findings may provide some new theoretical insights for the study of bud dormancy regulation in the perennial woody fruit trees.
以往的研究表明,赤霉素(GA)在葡萄休眠解除前对花芽分化有抑制作用,而在休眠解除后对花芽分化有促进作用;GA的积累能力呈现先抑后扬的趋势。然而,休眠解除过程中 GA 代谢基因表达的调控机制尚不清楚。本研究进一步验证了GA和氢氰酸酰胺(HC)对'红地球'葡萄花芽分化的影响,分别证实了抑制和促进作用。HC处理后,早期GA生物合成基因表达受限,GA分解代谢基因表达增强,而后期则表现出相反的表达趋势。在后期,MADS-box 转录因子基因Ⅴ表达下调,这可能在调控 GA 代谢基因的表达中起着重要作用。研究表明,VvSVP1能与GA生物合成基因和分解代谢基因的启动子区域结合,分别对相应基因的表达产生负调控和正调控作用;在过表达VvSVP1的葡萄胼胝体中,与GA20ox相关的GA含量显著降低,而与GA2ox相关的GA比例显著增加。综上所述,VvSVP1可在HC诱导的休眠芽断裂前通过调控GA代谢基因的表达来调节内源GA水平。我们的研究结果可为多年生木本果树花芽休眠调控的研究提供一些新的理论依据。

N-methyladenosine (mA) RNA modification is a conserved mechanism that regulates the fate of RNA across eukaryotic organisms. Despite its significance, a comprehensive analysis of mA-related genes in non-model plants, such as kiwifruit, is lacking. Here, we identified 36 mA-related genes in the kiwifruit genome according to homology and phylogenetic inference. We performed bioinformatics and evolutionary analyses of the writer, eraser, and reader families of mA modification. Reanalysis of public RNA-seq data collected from samples under various biotic and abiotic stresses indicated that most mA-related genes were remarkably expressed under different conditions. Through construction of gene co-expression networks, we found significant correlations between several mA-related genes and transcription factors (TFs) as well as receptor-like genes during the development and ripening of kiwifruit. Furthermore, we performed ATAC-seq assays on diverse kiwifruit tissues to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of mA-related genes. We identified 10 common open chromatin regions that were present in at least two tissues, and these regions might serve as potential binding sites for MADS protein, C2H2 protein, and other predicted TFs. Our study offers comprehensive insights into the gene family of mA-related components in kiwifruit, which will lay foundation for exploring mechanisms of post-transcriptional regulation involved in development and adaptation of kiwifruit.
N-甲基腺苷(mA)RNA修饰是一种调节真核生物中RNA命运的保守机制。尽管其意义重大,但目前还缺乏对猕猴桃等非模式植物中 mA 相关基因的全面分析。在此,我们根据同源性和系统发育推断在猕猴桃基因组中鉴定了 36 个 mA 相关基因。我们对mA修饰的书写器、橡皮擦和阅读器家族进行了生物信息学和进化分析。对从各种生物和非生物胁迫下的样本中收集的公开 RNA-seq 数据进行的再分析表明,大多数 mA 相关基因在不同条件下都有显著表达。通过构建基因共表达网络,我们发现在猕猴桃的发育和成熟过程中,多个 mA 相关基因与转录因子(TFs)以及受体类基因之间存在显著的相关性。此外,我们还对不同的猕猴桃组织进行了 ATAC-seq 分析,以研究 mA 相关基因的调控机制。我们发现了 10 个共同的开放染色质区域,它们至少存在于两个组织中,这些区域可能是 MADS 蛋白、C2H2 蛋白和其他预测的 TFs 的潜在结合位点。我们的研究全面揭示了猕猴桃中 mA 相关成分的基因家族,这将为探索猕猴桃发育和适应过程中的转录后调控机制奠定基础。
