MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in responding to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. Jujube witches'-broom a phytoplasma disease of Ziziphus jujuba is prevalent in China and is a serious problem to the industry. However, the molecular mechanism of the disease is poorly understood. In this study, genome-wide identification and analysis of microRNAs in response to witches'-broom was ...

In order to explore the feasibility of mineral element analysis on origin red jujube, and screen effective indicators distinguish 34 samples jujube were collected from Xinjiang, Hebei, Shanxi Gansu provinces China. The contents Na, Mg, K, Ca, P, B, Al, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Sr, Mo, Ba, Tl, Ge, Zr, Li, Rb, Cs, La, Ce Nd in determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer ...

Jujube planting in Xinjiang, China began 1985, and then entered the rapid development stage of planting. By 2012, Xinjiang became main jujube producing area China. Due to its geographical advantage, is high quality has become another agricultural product with Chinese characteristics. However, production declined since 2013.Although China’s still expanding, price been affected by a significant d...

Abstract Jujube witches' broom (JWB) phytoplasmas parasitize the sieve tubes of diseased phloem and cause an excessive proliferation axillary shoots from dormant lateral buds to favour their transmission. In previous research, two JWB effectors, SJP1 SJP2, were identified induce bud outgrowth by disrupting ZjBRC1-mediated auxin flux. However, pathogenesis disease remains largely unknown. Here, ...

Abstract Jujube leaf tea is a functional beverage that soothes the nerves. In this study, we evaluated effects of carbendazim and harpin on disease index, biomass accumulation, H 2 O , antioxidant contents, phenyl alanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity in young jujube leaves. Compared to harpin, decreased index induced higher content. Additionally, pesticide reduced accumulation. contrast, increa...

BACKGROUND The current typical drying methods for red ginseng are sun drying and hot-air drying. The purpose of this study was to investigate drying characteristics of red ginseng by using far-infrared drying. METHODS The far-infrared drying tests on red ginseng were conducted at two drying stages: (1) high temperature for 24 h drying and (2) low temperature drying until the final moisture co...

chinese jujube (ziziphus jujuba mill.) has long been widely used for human consumption and medicinal purposes in china. it has been reported to possess several vital biological activities. however, the systematic study on the chemical constituents absorbed into plasma and their metabolites is still insufficient. a high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector-electrospray ion...
