Temperature and photoperiod changes affect cucumber sex expression by different epigenetic regulations

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) are known for their plasticity in sex expression. DNA methylation status determines gene activity but is susceptible to environmental condition changes. Thus, DNA methylation-based epigenetic regulation may at least

Transcriptome analysis reveals anthocyanin regulation in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L.) at low temperatures

Scientific Reports, 2022
Chinese cabbage that prefers cold conditions is also affected by low-temperature stress, such as the accumulation of leaf anthocyanins. Research on anthocyanin biosynthesis and regulation mechanisms has made great progress.
