Heat Stress Leads to Poor Fruiting Mainly Due to Inferior Pollen Viability and Reduces Shoot Photosystem II Efficiency in “Da Hong” Pitaya

Agronomy, 2022
High summer temperatures (day/night: 40 °C/30 °C) are known to cause poor fruiting, reduced fruit/seed weight, and delayed fruit development in the “Da Hong” red-fleshed pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus); however, the mechanisms of these effects are unknown.

In-vitro antioxidant and in-vivo anti-aging with stress resistance on Caenorhabditis elegans of herbaceous peony stamen tea

International Journal of Food Properties, 2021
Herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb with roots; however, the flowers, specifically the stamens have not been exploited. In this study, the main active components of P.

Stamens of Kalmia [PDF]

Nature, 1876
IF the beautiful spring trap formed by the stamens of the Kalmia, by which insect fertilisation is secured, has not yet been noticed, I may perhaps be allowed to call attention to it.

Transcriptomic analysis identifies the key genes involved in stamen petaloid in lotus (Nelumbo nucifera)

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Flower morphology, a phenomenon regulated by a complex network, is one of the vital ornamental features in Nelumbo nucifera. Stamen petaloid is very prevalent in lotus flowers. However, the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is still obscure.

Relationship between Flower Phenotypic Traits and Fruit Yields in Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) Varieties

Horticulturae, 2023
In order to provide early selection indicators for the breeding of plants used for producing tea seed oil or harvesting tea, we investigated the relationships between flower morphology and fruit yields in tea plants.

RhAGL24 Regulating Auxin-Related Gene RhARF18 Affects Stamen Petaloidy in Rose

Horticulturae, 2022
AGAMOUS-LIKE 24 (AGL24) is a key gene regulating floral transition, but its involvement in flower organ identity remains largely unknown. In this study, we found that RhAGL24 is strongly related to petal and stamen development in rose.

Comprehensive transcriptome analyses of different Crocus flower tissues uncover genes involved in crocin biosynthesis

Biologia Plantarum, 2020
The stigma of Crocus sativus is used in traditional Chinese medicine and has drawn attention as a rich source of crocin, a compound with a reported activity that counters various cancers, depression, and cardiovascular diseases. However, our knowledge of

Characterization of PISTILLATA-like Genes and Their Promoters from the Distyly Fagopyrum esculentum

Plants, 2022
Arabidopsis PISTILLATA (PI) encodes B-class MADS-box transcription factor (TF), and works together with APETALA3 (AP3) to specify petal and stamen identity. However, a small-scale gene duplication event of PI ortholog was observed in common buckwheat and

ZSL Orchestrates Synaptonemal Complex Assembly as a Central Region Scaffold to Ensure Synapsis Fidelity and Crossover Control in Polyploid Meiosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A central molecular adaptor, ZSL, is identified that links transverse filaments ZYP1 to central element SCEP1/2 to drive synaptonemal complex assembly in Brassica napus. Loss of ZSL abolishes synaptonemal complex formation, disrupts meiotic chromosome segregation, and markedly increases crossovers, providing mechanistic insight into meiotic fidelity ...
