Molecular Evolution of GDP-D-Mannose Epimerase (GME), a Key Gene in Plant Ascorbic Acid Biosynthesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The widespread ascorbic acid (AsA) plays a vital role in plant development and abiotic stress tolerance, but AsA concentration varies greatly among different plants. GDP-D-mannose epimerase (GME), which catalyzes GDP-D-mannose to GDP-L-galactose or GDP-L-

Evaluation of Germplasm Resources for the Resistance to Kiwifruit Vine Decline Syndrome (KVDS)

open access: yes, 2021
Kiwifruit Vine Decline Syndrome (KVDS) has been afflicting Italian kiwifruit cultivation for 10 years. Up to date, it caused dramatic yield losses, as well as plant death and replant problems. Symptoms are primary present on roots, with a widespread root

Non-destructive follow-up of ‘Jintao’ kiwifruit ripening through VIS-NIR spectroscopy – individual vs. average calibration model’s predictions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Visible/near infrared spectroscopy (Vis-NIRS) was used to monitor the yellow-fleshed kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch 'Jintao') ripening on two selected orchards along 13 weeks, from pre-harvest to the late harvest.

The antifungal activity and mechanism of silver nanoparticles against four pathogens causing kiwifruit post-harvest rot

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Post-harvest rot causes enormous economic loss to the global kiwifruit industry. Currently, there are no effective fungicides to combat the disease. It is unclear whether silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are effective in controlling post-harvest rot and, if ...

From Defense Executor to Engineering Target: Harnessing Lignin for Crop Resistance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Lignin serves as both a physical and chemical executor of broad‐spectrum plant immunity. This review systematically summarizes classical and recent advances in lignin‐mediated immunity, outlines the multifaceted regulatory modules controlling lignification under biotic stress, discusses key physiological and biochemical mechanisms behind lignin‐based ...

Exogenous γ-aminobutyric acid enhances heat tolerance of kiwifruit plants by protecting photosynthetic system and promoting heat shock proteins expression

open access: yesAnnals of Agricultural Sciences, 2023
Kiwifruit plants are highly susceptible to increased atmospheric temperature, and the extreme high temperature often causes the loss of production and quality of the fruit.

Natural Variation of COLD and CATECHINS REGULATOR 1 Coordinately Fine‐Tunes Cold Tolerance and Tea Quality in Tea Plants

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Multi‐trait genome‐wide association mapping identifies a central hub regulator, COLD AND CATECHINS REGULATOR 1 (CCR1), and its excellent natural allele variation, coordinately enhancing cold tolerance and promoting catechins biosyntheis. CsCCR1 interacts with CsCBF1/3 and is transcriptionally activated by CsLUX and CsKUA1 to promote catechins ...

Arginase from kiwifruit: properties and seasonal variation

open access: yes, 1997
The in vitro activity of arginase (EC 3.5.3.1) was investigated in youngest-mature leaves and roots (1-3 mm diameter) of kiwifruit vines (Actinidia deliciosa var. deliciosa) during an annual growth cycle, and enzyme from root material partially purified.
