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

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

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
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.
