Transcriptome profiling of anthocyanin biosynthesis in the peel of ‘Granny Smith’ apples (Malus domestica) after bag removal

BMC Genomics, 2019
Bagging is commonly used to enhance red pigmentation and thereby improve fruit quality of apples (Malus domestica). The green-skinned apple cultivar ‘Granny Smith’ develops red pigmentation after bagging removal, but the signal transduction pathways ...

New Integrative Vectors Increase Agrobacterium rhizogenes Transformation and Help Characterise Roles for Soybean GmTML Gene Family Members

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hairy‐root transformation is widely used to generate transgenic plant roots for genetic functional characterisation studies. However, transformation efficiency can be limited, largely due to the use of binary vectors. Here, we report on the development of novel integrative vectors that significantly increase the transformation efficiency of ...

Effect of exogenous spermidine on floral induction, endogenous polyamine and hormone production, and expression of related genes in ‘Fuji’ apple (Malus domestica Borkh.)

Scientific Reports, 2019
Flower bud formation in ‘Fuji’ apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is difficult, which severely constrains commercial production. Spermidine (Spd) plays an important role in floral induction, but the mechanism of its action is incompletely understood.

Estimating Leaf CO2 Assimilation in C3 Plants Using a Handheld Porometer With Chlorophyll Fluorometer in Field Conditions

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gas exchange measurement is the gold standard method for determining leaf CO2 assimilation rate (An). However, conventional systems for measuring An often require time and/or effort to collect numerous samples in the field owing to their high weight and large size.

Factors determining chromosomal localization of transposable elements in plants

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
We review transposon chromosomal niches, and the functional consequences of their specific chromosomal localization in plants. Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) constitute a significant part of plant genomes and shape their genomic landscape. While some TEs are ubiquitously dispersed, other elements specifically occupy discrete genomic loci.

Anthropogenic seed dispersal: rethinking the origins of plant domestication

, 2020
It is well documented that ancient sickle harvesting led to tough rachises, but the other seed dispersal properties in crop progenitors are rarely discussed. The first steps toward domestication are evolutionary responses for the recruitment of humans as

Gene-Wide Analysis of Aquaporin Gene Family in Malus domestica and Heterologous Expression of the Gene MpPIP2;1 Confers Drought and Salinity Tolerance in Arabidposis thaliana

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
The aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of integral membrane proteins involved in the transcellular membrane transport of water and other small molecules. A scan of the apple (Malus domestica) genome revealed the presence of 42 genes encoding putative AQPs ...
