Genome-wide characterization and expression analysis of the MLO gene family sheds light on powdery mildew resistance in Lagenaria siceraria

Heliyon, 2023
MLO (mildew locus O) genes play a vital role in plant disease defense system, especially powdery mildew (PM). Lagenaria siceraria is a distinct Cucurbitaceae crop, and PM is one of the most serious diseases threatening crop production and quality ...

Quantum Structure of Negation and Conjunction in Human Thought [PDF]

, 2015
We analyse in this paper the data collected in a set of experiments performed on human subjects on the combination of natural concepts. We investigate the mutual influence of conceptual conjunction and negation by measuring the membership weights of a ...

Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Degradation Mechanisms in Solanaceous Vegetables: A Review

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018
Anthocyanins are a group of polyphenolic pigments that are ubiquitously found in the plant kingdom. In plants, anthocyanins play a role not only in reproduction, by attracting pollinators and seed dispersers, but also in protection against various ...

Chromosome doubling of microspore-derived plants from cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) and broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Chromosome doubling of microspore-derived plants is an important factor in the practical application of microspore culture technology because breeding programs require a large number of genetically stable, homozygous doubled haploid plants with a high ...

Mining for Candidate Genes in an Introgression Line by Using RNA Sequencing: The Anthocyanin Overaccumulation Phenotype in Brassica

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Introgression breeding is a widely used method for the genetic improvement of crop plants; however, the mechanism underlying candidate gene flow patterns during hybridization is poorly understood. In this study, we used a powerful pipeline to investigate
