Biological activity of Citrus spp. metabolites on Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). [PDF]

, 2012
The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is one of the most injurious pest at global level. During the last years, several electrophysiological and behavioural studies have been carried out in order to ...

The Transcription Factors NFYA1 and GBF3 Jointly Regulate CHS2 to Promote Tangeretin Accumulation and Cold Tolerance in Citrus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tangeretin has been known as a polymethoxylated flavone conferring both phytoprotection and nutraceutical value, but cryoprotective roles and molecular regulation of tangeretin under abiotic stresses remain largely unexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that cold treatment led to greater accumulation of tangeretin and upregulation of ...

Hydrogen sulfide alleviates pericarp browning in lichi fruit by modulating energy and sugar metabolisms

Frontiers in Plant Science
Postharvest litchi is susceptible to browning that limits the development of litchi industry. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important bioactive molecule that can regulate many physiological processes.

Mechanical damage caused by fruit-to-fruit impact of litchis

IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2018
Abstract Mechanical damage of litchi fruits caused by impact is a major problem for mechanical harvesting. During a shaking harvesting process, the impact between fruits is almost inevitable. Thus, it is necessary to study the characteristics of fruit-to-fruit impact of litchis.

The Diversity of the DNA‐Binding Landscape in the DREB/ERF Family: Focusing on Reproductive Processes in Fruit Trees With Highly Heterozygous Genome

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT DREB/ERF transcription factors play pivotal roles in plant development; however, their structural characteristics, DNA‐binding preferences, and functional roles in highly heterozygous woody plants remain insufficiently understood. Using lychee (Litchi chinensis) as a model, we identified 95 DREB/ERF genes subdivided into ten phylogenetic ...

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.

Effector‐Mediated Spatial Reprogramming of Glycolate Oxidase Subverts Peroxisomal and Membrane‐Associated ROS Defences

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oomycete pathogens secrete hundreds of RXLR effectors into plant cells to modulate host immunity by targeting diverse plant proteins. Here, we report that the Peronophythora litchii RXLR effector PlAvh133 acts as a virulence factor and targets the litchi glycolate oxidase (GLO) LcGLO1, a key enzyme in photorespiration, thereby suppressing ...

LcVHA2 and LcVHA3 positively modulate energy metabolism and reduce pericarp browning in litchi fruit after application of Bacillus siamensis

Biological Control
Pericarp browning, postharvest disease, and a short storage life are the leading causes of economic losses in the litchi industry globally. Energy metabolism plays an integral role in regulating browning, disease resistance, and the shelf-life of litchi ...
