In this study, postharvest behavioural dynamics among 52 diverse chilli genotypes was observed during storage (15°C) to discriminate and cluster them in accordance to their inherent responses. Fruit weight, size, weight loss, colour change, firmness, capsaicin, chlorophyll, carotenoids (red and yellow fractions), moisture content and purchase preference were recorded. Significant differences were observed among genotypes. A2 x IIVRC 18057 and IIVRC 18093 registered minimum (24.4 %) and maximum (71.7 %) weight loss, respectively at the end of storage. In all genotypes, moisture content declined with storage. Genotype dependent inverse relationship between capsaicin content at green and red stage was observed (r= -0.51). Firmness ranged between highest (4.65 N) in IIVRC 22100 on day zero, to lowest (0.14 N) in A3 x F5–112 on day 10. IIVRC 18131, Kashi Surkh, and IIVRC 18160 showed higher firmness. The loss of smooth glossy appearance, colour change and carotenoids accumulation showed variable responses during storage. Minimum colour changes were observed in IC119455, IC114957, IC119326, IC119327, EC 578666, IIVRC 18093, IIVRC 23002 and IIVRC 20005. Chlorophyll ranged between 68.63 µg/g fw (Pusa Jwala) to 270.61 µg/g fw (Kashi Gaurav) initially. Chemometric analysis using clustering and principal component analysis was performed. IIVRC 18093 and IIVRC 18253 were found most distant and can be utilized in breeding. IIVRC 18057 clearly indicated consumer liking in preference ranking test over other genotypes on final day. Overall, inherent diversity pointed the potential for careful selection of specific genotypes for definite breeding, consumer acceptability, marketing and storability strategies.
本研究观察了 52 种不同辣椒基因型在贮藏(15°C)期间的采后行为动态,以根据其固有反应对其进行区分和分类。记录了果实重量、大小、重量损失、颜色变化、硬度、辣椒素、叶绿素、类胡萝卜素(红色和黄色部分)、水分含量和购买偏好。不同基因型之间存在显著差异。A2 x IIVRC 18057 和 IIVRC 18093 在贮藏结束时的重量损失分别最小(24.4%)和最大(71.7%)。所有基因型的水分含量都随着贮藏时间的延长而下降。在绿色和红色阶段,辣椒素含量与基因型呈反比关系(r= -0.51)。坚硬度介于第 0 天最高(4.65 N)的 IIVRC 22100 和第 10 天最低(0.14 N)的 A3 x F5-112 之间。IIVRC 18131、Kashi Surkh 和 IIVRC 18160 的坚实度较高。在贮藏过程中,平滑光泽的丧失、颜色的变化和类胡萝卜素的积累表现出不同的反应。在 IC119455、IC114957、IC119326、IC119327、EC 578666、IIVRC 18093、IIVRC 23002 和 IIVRC 20005 中观察到的颜色变化最小。叶绿素最初介于 68.63 µg/g fw(Pusa Jwala)到 270.61 µg/g fw(Kashi Gaurav)之间。采用聚类和主成分分析法进行了化学计量分析。发现 IIVRC 18093 和 IIVRC 18253 的距离最远,可用于育种。在最后一天的偏好排序测试中,IIVRC 18057 比其他基因型更受消费者青睐。总之,固有的多样性表明,有可能为明确的育种、消费者接受度、营销和贮藏策略而仔细选择特定的基因型。

Female sterility is one of the keys determining seedlessness formation in citrus. However, the molecular basis for female sterility in citrus is still far from fully understood. In the present study, differentially expressed genes were identified in sexual organs of ‘Meiguicheng’ orange (Citrus sinensis) and its seedless mutant, candidate genes were then verified by RT-PCR, live-cell imaging technique and physiological biochemistry. Using high-throughput sequencing, 96 and 710 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were captured in the ovaries and anthers, respectively, during megasporogenesis and microsporogenesis (Ph1). The number of DEGs in ovaries and anthers increased to 325 and 1760, respectively, post gametophyte abortion (Ph2). GO analysis and non-structural carbohydrates determination displayed that disturbances to starch and sucrose metabolism in anthers were responsible for male sterility. In Ph1 ovaries, five DEGs were enriched in reproduction process, one of which (Cs7g06410) was also involved in signaling. Whereas in Ph2 ovaries, eight DEGs were enriched in reproductive process, accompanied with four other DEGs involved in plant hormone signal transduction. PlantTFDB prediction indicated that, in the ovary, four transcription factors (TFs) at Ph1 were differentially expressed. Our findings displayed that Cs2g16620 (PIN1), Cs7g06410 (NPH3), and Cs3g23070 (MYB) might play pivotal roles in citrus female sterility through manipulating auxin transport and accumulation within the ovules, providing potential genes for further investigations on female gametophyte development and transgenic breeding in citrus.
雌性不育是决定柑橘无籽形成的关键之一。然而,柑橘雌性不育的分子基础还远未完全清楚。本研究鉴定了 "美桔 "及其无籽突变体有性器官中的差异表达基因,并通过 RT-PCR、活细胞成像技术和生理生化方法验证了候选基因。利用高通量测序技术,在巨孢子发生和小孢子发生(Ph1)过程中,分别在子房和花药中捕获了96个和710个差异表达基因(DEGs)。配子体流产后(Ph2),子房和花药中的 DEGs 数量分别增至 325 个和 1760 个。GO 分析和非结构碳水化合物测定显示,花药中淀粉和蔗糖代谢紊乱是导致雄性不育的原因。在 Ph1 子房中,有五个 DEGs 富集于生殖过程,其中一个(Cs7g06410)还参与了信号转导。而在 Ph2 子房中,有 8 个 DEGs 在生殖过程中富集,同时还有 4 个 DEGs 参与植物激素信号转导。PlantTFDB 预测表明,在子房中,Ph1 的四个转录因子(TFs)有差异表达。我们的研究结果表明,Cs2g16620(PIN1)、Cs7g06410(NPH3)和Cs3g23070(MYB)可能通过操纵胚珠内的辅助素运输和积累在柑橘雌性不育中发挥关键作用,为进一步研究柑橘雌配子体发育和转基因育种提供了潜在基因。

Low temperatures can affect plant growth and geographical distribution. This study identified an MYB transcription factor, which is a positive regulator of chilling tolerance in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), designated SlMYB1R1. The germination vigor and radicle lengths of overexpression SlMYB1R1 (SlMYB1R1OE) lines were significantly higher than those of the wild-type (Micro-Tom; MT) lines during germination. The leaf angle and leaf length of SlMYB1R1OE plants were significantly greater than those of MT plants. Furthermore, the expression of SlMYB1R1 was induced by cold stress. The degree of wilting was lower in SlMYB1R1OE plants than in MT plants under chilling stress. Overexpression of SlMYB1R1 in tomatoes resulted in low relative electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde content, and reactive oxygen levels. The activities of peroxidase and catalase in SlMYB1R1OE plants were higher than those in MT plants after chilling stress. During cold stress, the transcriptional levels of the four cold-related genes were higher in SlMYB1R1OE lines than in MT plants. These results show that SlMYB1R1 plays key roles in tolerance to chilling stress in tomato.
低温会影响植物的生长和地理分布。本研究发现了一种 MYB 转录因子,它是番茄(Solanum lycopersicum)耐寒性的正调控因子,命名为 SlMYB1R1。过表达 SlMYB1R1(SlMYB1R1OE)株系在发芽期间的发芽活力和胚根长度显著高于野生型(Micro-Tom;MT)株系。SlMYB1R1OE 株系的叶角和叶长明显高于 MT 株系。此外,冷胁迫诱导了 SlMYB1R1 的表达。在寒冷胁迫下,SlMYB1R1OE植株的枯萎程度低于MT植株。在番茄中过表达 SlMYB1R1 会导致相对较低的电解质渗漏、丙二醛含量和活性氧水平。冷胁迫后,SlMYB1R1OE植株的过氧化物酶和过氧化氢酶的活性高于MT植株。在冷胁迫期间,SlMYB1R1OE 株系中四个冷相关基因的转录水平高于 MT 株系。这些结果表明,SlMYB1R1在番茄耐寒胁迫中起着关键作用。

In conventional agricultural practices, pesticides are applied to protect crops from harmful insect pests; however, pervasive usage in high-yield crop systems poses a significant risk to the viability and sustainability of agroecosystems. Agricultural output may be adversely affected by pesticide deposition in the soil as it affects biochemical interactions between plants and soil. Pesticides cause oxidative stress by blocking physiological and biochemical pathways and disrupting the photosynthetic machinery of plants. When exposed to abiotic challenges, plant growth regulators (PGRs) such as auxin, gibberellins, cytokinin and abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), brassinosteroids (BR), and 24-epibrassinolides (EBL) reduce pesticide toxicity by strengthening antioxidant defence mechanisms and enhancing tolerance to stressful conditions. By modulating a variety of physio-biochemical mechanisms, PGRs reduce pesticide toxicity in intact plants. Furthermore, PGRs eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by inducing antioxidant enzyme production. Pesticide residues in plant compartments are reduced as a result of PGR-mediated increase in pesticide degradation. This review provides a detailed account of the potential role of PGRs in pesticide detoxification and growth promotion in plants. This work examines several elements of plant pesticidal reactions and assesses how PGRs support plants in tolerating pesticides. The underlying mechanisms during pesticide stress are also discussed. The need for additional study on PGR applications is also emphasized.
在传统农业实践中,施用杀虫剂是为了保护作物免受有害害虫的侵害;然而,在高产作物系统中普遍使用杀虫剂对农业生态系统的生存能力和可持续性构成了重大风险。农药在土壤中的沉积可能会对农业产出产生不利影响,因为它会影响植物与土壤之间的生化相互作用。农药会阻断植物的生理和生化途径,破坏植物的光合作用机制,从而导致氧化应激。当植物面临非生物挑战时,植物生长调节剂(PGRs),如辅助素、赤霉素、细胞分裂素和脱落酸(ABA)、水杨酸(SA)、茉莉酸(JA)、黄铜类固醇(BR)和 24-表黄酮醇内酯(EBL),可通过加强抗氧化防御机制和提高对胁迫条件的耐受性来降低农药毒性。通过调节各种生理生化机制,植物生长调节剂可降低农药对完整植物的毒性。此外,PGRs 还能通过诱导抗氧化酶的产生来消除活性氧(ROS)的生成。由于 PGR 介导的农药降解增加,植物体内的农药残留也随之减少。本综述详细介绍了 PGRs 在植物农药解毒和促进生长方面的潜在作用。这项工作研究了植物杀虫剂反应的几个要素,并评估了 PGRs 如何支持植物耐受杀虫剂。此外,还讨论了农药胁迫过程中的潜在机制。此外,还强调了对 PGR 应用进行更多研究的必要性。

Despite their economic significance, some tropical fruit species are largely neglected, mainly in terms of genetics and breeding. This is particularly true for the sweet passion fruit (Passiflora alata), a crop gaining new popularity and market value due to its characteristic aroma and flavor. Importantly, P. alata is self-incompatible, and the fruit set is reduced (or does not occur) when genetically related individuals are crossed. Given this, we determined the compatibility relationships among eight full sibs, previously selected. Nearly 2,000 crosses were performed in a full diallel design, including reciprocal and self-pollination. We propose that the genotypes’ reaction is a consequence of a sporophytic mechanism involved in P. alata self-incompatibility. Significantly, the compatibility results were confirmed in another field experiment conducted in the same environment. This allowed us to choose the genotypes to be intercrossed, resulting in 24 families. Next, nine traits related to fruit quality and yield were assessed in a randomized block design with four replicates, and plots consisting of three plants. Using genotypic values predicted by BLUP and two selection indices, eight superior families (30%) were selected. At the same time, the flowering period of each family was assessed. The families show a coincident flowering peak in May, except for the one family and its reciprocal, both with a flowering peak in November. Our findings indicate that compatibility tests and flowering phenology should be considered in P. alata breeding programs to make fruits available to producers for as long as possible.
尽管具有重要的经济意义,但一些热带水果品种却在很大程度上被忽视了,主要是在遗传学和育种方面。甜百香果(Passiflora alata)的情况尤其如此,这种作物因其特有的香气和风味而越来越受欢迎,市场价值也越来越高。重要的是,西番莲是自交不亲和的,当基因相关的个体杂交时,坐果率会降低(或不坐果)。有鉴于此,我们确定了之前选出的八个全同胞兄弟姐妹之间的相容性关系。我们采用全双工设计进行了近 2000 次杂交,包括互花授粉和自花授粉。我们认为,这些基因型的反应是一种孢子体机制的结果,这种机制参与了 P. alata 的自相容性。值得注意的是,相容性结果在同一环境下进行的另一项田间试验中得到了证实。这使我们能够选择基因型进行杂交,从而产生了 24 个家系。接下来,我们采用随机区组设计对与果实质量和产量相关的九个性状进行了评估。利用 BLUP 预测的基因型值和两个选择指数,选出了 8 个优良家系(30%)。同时,对每个家系的花期进行了评估。除了一个家系及其对等家系的花期高峰都在 11 月外,其他家系的花期高峰都在 5 月。我们的研究结果表明,在金鱼藻育种计划中应考虑兼容性测试和开花物候学,以使生产者能在尽可能长的时间内获得果实。

Chlorophylls are pivotal in capturing and converting light energy in leaves during photosynthesis, and changes in their biosynthetic pathway represent an adaptive response of plants to challenging environmental conditions. Serendipita indica, a culturable endophytic fungus, has demonstrated potential in enhancing the host plant's drought tolerance, whereas the underlying mechanisms (e.g., chlorophyll biosynthesis pathways) remain unclear. This study explored the impact of S. indica on the growth, chlorophyll synthesis intermediates and chlorophyll components, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, photosynthesis, and the expression of chlorophyll synthesis-associated genes in trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) plants subjected to seven weeks of water deficit (WD). Following WD, the colonization of S. indica in roots significantly increased. Despite the growth-inhibiting effects of WD on trifoliate orange, inoculation with S. indica led to a substantial increase in aboveground growth performance and biomass production, with the magnitude of increase being more pronounced under WD than under no water dificit (NW). The WD treatment led to a reduction in the levels of leaf chlorophyll synthesis intermediates, while the colonization of S. indica significantly elevated the levels of 5-aminolevulimic acid, Mg-protoporphyrin IX, protoporphyrin IX, porphobilinogen, and protochlorophyllide in leaves, thus increasing chlorophyll a, b, and a + b concentrations in S. indica-treated plants, particularly under WD. S. indica inoculationi also up-regulated the expression level of PtHEMG1, PtCHLH, PtHEMA1, and PtHEME2 genes under WD. Interestingly, chlorophyll intermediates and the expression of chlorophyll-associated genes were significantly correlated with chlorophyll a in uninoculated plants and with chlorophyll b in inoculated plants. Under WD, S. indica-inoculated plants represented higher steady-state light quantum efficiency and lower steady-state nonphotochemical fluorescence quenching than uninoculated plants, which protected the photosynthetic apparatus from damage and increased the quantum efficiency of PSII. In addition, leaf gas exchange parameters were distinctly boosted by S. indica, with the increase being more pronounced under WD than under NW. In conclusion, S. indica-inoculated plants have better plant growth, chlorophyll biosynthesis, photosynthetic efficiency and gas exchange to adapt to WD.
叶绿素是叶片在光合作用过程中捕捉和转换光能的关键,叶绿素生物合成途径的变化代表了植物对挑战性环境条件的适应性反应。Serendipita indica 是一种可培养的内生真菌,在增强寄主植物的耐旱性方面具有潜力,但其潜在机制(如叶绿素生物合成途径)仍不清楚。本研究探讨了 S. indica 对缺水(WD)七周的三叶橙(Poncirus trifoliata)植株的生长、叶绿素合成中间体和叶绿素成分、叶绿素荧光参数、光合作用以及叶绿素合成相关基因表达的影响。缺水七周后,根部的蝙蝠蛾定植率明显增加。尽管缺水对三叶橙的生长有抑制作用,但接种 S. indica 后,三叶橙的地上部生长表现和生物量产量都有大幅提高,缺水时的提高幅度比不缺水(NW)时更明显。WD 处理导致叶片叶绿素合成中间体水平降低,而 S. indica 的定植则显著提高了叶片中 5-氨基乙酰丙酸、Mg-原卟啉 IX、原卟啉 IX、卟啉原和原叶绿素苷的水平,从而提高了 S. indica 处理植物的叶绿素 a、b 和 a + b 浓度,尤其是在 WD 条件下。在 WD 条件下,接种 S. indica 也会上调 PtHEMG1、PtCHLH、PtHEMA1 和 PtHEME2 基因的表达水平。有趣的是,叶绿素中间体和叶绿素相关基因的表达与未接种植株的叶绿素 a 和接种植株的叶绿素 b 显著相关。在 WD 条件下,接种 S. indica 的植株比未接种植株表现出更高的稳态光量子效率和更低的稳态非光化学荧光淬灭,这保护了光合装置免受损伤,提高了 PSII 的量子效率。此外,S. indica 对叶片气体交换参数也有明显的促进作用,在 WD 条件下的促进作用比在 NW 条件下更明显。总之,接种 S. indica 的植株在植物生长、叶绿素生物合成、光合效率和气体交换方面都能更好地适应 WD。

The study explores the effect of varying levels of nitrogen (N) application on N allocation in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) genotypes from vegetative to the generative phases. The use of a heat map and PCA biplot analysis identifies two distinct sets of ideotypes. The first set is represented by genotype IC212031 having “Stay-green” phenotype with effective N regulating enzymes, high N uptake (NUpt) and better root development. The second set of ideotype is represented by HB9902 having delayed flowering phenology phases. The study highlights the relevance of Nitrate reductase (NR) in the final oil buildup in seeds (r = 0.5, p = 0.09). The considerable rise in NR activity from pre-anthesis to post-anthesis stages translates to higher seed storage compounds such as oil (r=−0.65, p = 0.03). And the developed prediction models confirmed the significance of these stages (pre-anthesis and post-anthesis) in the accumulation of seed storage components with emphasis on oil content. Similarly, this prediction model helps us to study the cause and effect relationship between various factors and oil content. The notable rise in Nitrite reductase (NiR) activity during the post-anthesis phase suggests its role in assimilating N for the storage of seed components, most likely proteins. Further, the inverse relationship between seed N (−0.53,p = 0.09) and oil content (−0.65, p = 0.03) confirmed that at the post anthesis stage the allocation of N towards precursor carbon compounds happens, which in turn forms either proteins or lipids. This becomes a critical factor in determining the final composition of the seed. Irrespective of N treatment and genotype, the N allocation follows the pattern: seed > siliquae husk > stover > root. However, higher N application rates primarily result in increased NUpt, but not necessarily improve utilisation. Overall, the study highlights the roles of root characteristics, N metabolising enzymes, and flowering phenology in enhancing N allocation and seed production in Indian mustard offering valuable insights for breeding strategies to enhance seed yield, oil content and nutrient efficiency in oilseed crops.
本研究探讨了不同施氮水平对印度芥菜(Brassica juncea)基因型从无性到生成阶段氮分配的影响。利用热图和 PCA 双图分析确定了两组不同的表意型。第一组以基因型 IC212031 为代表,其表型为 "留绿",具有有效的氮调节酶、高氮吸收率(NUpt)和更好的根系发育。第二组表意型以 HB9902 为代表,具有延迟开花表型阶段。该研究强调了硝酸还原酶(NR)与种子最终油分积累的相关性(r = 0.5,p = 0.09)。从开花前到开花后阶段,NR 活性的显著上升转化为更高的种子贮藏化合物,如油(r=-0.65,p = 0.03)。所开发的预测模型证实了这些阶段(开花前和开花后)在种子贮藏成分积累方面的重要性,重点是含油量。同样,该预测模型也有助于我们研究各种因素与含油量之间的因果关系。在花后阶段,亚硝酸还原酶(NiR)活性显著上升,这表明它在同化氮以储存种子成分(很可能是蛋白质)方面发挥作用。此外,种子氮(-0.53,p= 0.09)与含油量(-0.65,p= 0.03)之间的反比关系证实,在花后阶段,氮被分配给前体碳化合物,进而形成蛋白质或脂质。这成为决定种子最终成分的关键因素。无论氮处理方式和基因型如何,氮的分配都遵循以下模式:种子>;颖壳>;秸秆>;根。然而,较高的氮施用率主要会增加氮的利用率,但并不一定会提高利用率。总之,该研究强调了根系特征、氮代谢酶和开花物候在提高印度芥菜氮分配和种子产量方面的作用,为提高油料作物种子产量、含油量和养分效率的育种策略提供了有价值的见解。

Male sterility (MS) is a desirable tool for hybrid seed production. Eggplant is one of the most widely grown fruit vegetables all over the world. Although a lot of male-sterile lines were created in eggplant, the genes underlying the MS regulation in eggplant remain largely unknown. EMS (ethyl methane sulfonate)- mutagenized mutant is an ideal material for the identification of genes regulating MS in eggplant. In the present study, we identified a mutant, named smms1 (Solanum melongena male sterility 1) with smaller flowers and abnormal anthers. Further analyses indicated the pollens in smms1 showed highly vacuolated and significant decreased number, size and viability compared to wild type (WT). Bulked segregant analysis sequencing (BSA-seq) and Mutmap analyses identified a G-to-A mutation in an alternative splicing region in the 2nd intron of Smechr0501647. Smechr0501647 encodes a subunit of Mediator (MED) that functions as a bridge between transcription factors and RNA polymerase II. The SNP results in three splicing events with 11 bp and 15 bp deletion in the 2nd exon and the retention of the 1st intron. Notably, the events with 11 bp deletion and intron retention led to premature stop codons. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment of Differentially expressed gene (DEG) suggested that while up-regulated DEGs in smms1 are enriched in phytohormone related processes, the enriched GO terms of down-regulated DEGs were mainly related to cellular processes. The measurement of the phytohormone contents in WT and smms1 indicated the involvement of the abscisic acid (ABA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and cytokinins (CKs) in the MS regulation mediated by SmMS1 in eggplant. The discovery of the candidate gene controlling MS not only provides a potential target for the molecular breeding of MS germplasms, but also provides an effective basis of for studying regulatory mechanisms of MS in eggplant.
雄性不育(MS)是杂交种子生产的理想工具。茄子是全世界种植最广泛的果菜之一。虽然在茄子中培育出了许多雄性不育系,但茄子中调控雄性不育的基因在很大程度上仍然未知。EMS(甲烷磺酸乙酯)诱变突变体是鉴定茄子 MS 调控基因的理想材料。在本研究中,我们发现了一个花朵较小且花药异常的突变体,命名为 smms1(Solanum melongena male sterility 1)。进一步的分析表明,与野生型(WT)相比,smms1 的花粉高度空泡化,数量、大小和活力显著下降。大量分离分析测序(BSA-seq)和突变图(Mutmap)分析确定了 Smechr0501647 第 2 个内含子中一个替代剪接区的 G 到 A 突变。Smechr0501647 编码 Mediator (MED) 的一个亚基,该亚基在转录因子和 RNA 聚合酶 II 之间起桥梁作用。该 SNP 导致三个剪接事件,其中第 2 个外显子缺失 11 bp 和 15 bp,第 1 个内含子保留。值得注意的是,11 bp 的缺失和内含子的保留会导致过早的终止密码子。差异表达基因(DEG)的基因本体(GO)富集表明,smms1 中上调的 DEGs 富集于与植物激素相关的过程,而下调的 DEGs 富集的 GO 术语主要与细胞过程有关。对 WT 和 smms1 植物激素含量的测定表明,脱落酸(ABA)、吲哚-3-乙酸(IAA)、水杨酸(SA)、茉莉酸(JA)和细胞分裂素(CKs)参与了 SmMS1 对茄子 MS 的调控。控制MS的候选基因的发现不仅为MS种质的分子育种提供了潜在的目标,也为研究茄子MS的调控机制提供了有效的依据。

Agrobacterium-mediated transient gene expression is a powerful tool for characterizing gene function in plants, particularly in fruit trees with long juvenile periods. However, few studies have systematically explored transient expression in nut trees, such as T. grandis. In this study, we developed a rapid and easily manipulated transient transformation system using Agrobacterium-mediated injection infiltration in T. grandis cones. Cones at the enlargement stage (30 days after aril protrusion) were used, and the bacterial solution was gently injected into the kernel at a depth of 1 cm, filling nearly the entire cone, as indicated by a red dye. Using the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene as a reporter for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, we confirmed GFP expression in T. grandis cone successfully through confocal microscopy, western blot, and PCR. Transformation conditions, including bacterial density and days after agroinfiltration, were optimized for higher transformation efficiency, with the optimal conditions being an OD600 of 0.6 and an agroinfiltration period of 6 - 9 days. Transient overexpression of TgWRKY47, a cell size regulator, altered cell size in T. grandis cones, indicating that this Agrobacterium infiltration method can be used for gene functional analysis. Furthermore, confocal microscopy revealed that TgWRKY47-GFP was localized in the nucleus along with a nuclear marker, demonstrating its applicability for protein subcellular localization. In summary, this method presents a versatile tool for efficient and targeted transient gene functional analysis and subcellular localization in T. grandis cones, offering new insights into nut tree biology research.

农杆菌介导的瞬时基因表达是鉴定植物基因功能的有力工具,尤其是在幼树期较长的果树中。然而,很少有研究系统地探讨了柚子等坚果类果树的瞬时表达。在这项研究中,我们利用农杆菌介导的注射浸润技术,在鹅掌楸球果中开发了一种快速且易于操作的瞬时转化系统。使用处于膨大期(假种皮突出后 30 天)的圆锥体,将菌液轻轻注入核仁 1 厘米深处,几乎充满整个圆锥体,用红色染料表示。利用绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)基因作为农杆菌介导转化的报告基因,我们通过共聚焦显微镜、Western 印迹和 PCR 成功地证实了 GFP 在 T. grandis 果核中的表达。为了提高转化效率,我们对转化条件(包括细菌密度和农渗后天数)进行了优化,最佳条件为 OD600 为 0.6,农渗期为 6 - 9 天。细胞大小调节因子 TgWRKY47 的瞬时过表达改变了特大圆锥花序的细胞大小,表明这种农杆菌浸润法可用于基因功能分析。此外,共聚焦显微镜显示,TgWRKY47-GFP 与核标记物一起定位于细胞核中,这表明该方法适用于蛋白质亚细胞定位。总之,该方法是一种多功能工具,可用于高效、有针对性地瞬时分析 T. grandis 锥果中的基因功能和亚细胞定位,为坚果树生物学研究提供了新的视角。

However, few studies have systematically explored transient expression in nut trees, such as <em>T. grandis</em>. In this study, we developed a rapid and easily manipulated transient transformation system using <em>Agrobacterium</em>-mediated injection infiltration in <em>T. grandis</em> cones. Cones at the enlargement stage (30 days after aril protrusion) were used, and the bacterial solution was gently injected into the kernel at a depth of 1 cm, filling nearly the entire cone, as indicated by a red dye. Using the <em>green fluorescent protein</em> (<em>GFP</em>) gene as a reporter for <em>Agrobacterium</em>-mediated transformation, we confirmed GFP expression in <em>T. grandis</em> cone successfully through confocal microscopy, western blot, and PCR. Transformation conditions, including bacterial density and days after agroinfiltration, were optimized for higher transformation efficiency, with the optimal conditions being an OD<sub>600</sub> of 0.6 and an agroinfiltration period of 6 - 9 days. Transient overexpression of <em>TgWRKY47</em>, a cell size regulator, altered cell size in <em>T. grandis</em> cones, indicating that this <em>Agrobacterium</em> infiltration method can be used for gene functional analysis. Furthermore, confocal microscopy revealed that TgWRKY47-GFP was localized in the nucleus along with a nuclear marker, demonstrating its applicability for protein subcellular localization. In summary, this method presents a versatile tool for efficient and targeted transient gene functional analysis and subcellular localization in <em>T. grandis</em> cones, offering new insights into nut tree biology research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21679,"journal":{"name":"Scientia Horticulturae","volume":"338 ","pages":"Article 113664"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142271603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
