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...

Phloem unloading plays a pivotal part in photoassimilate transport and partitioning into sink organs. However, it remains unclear whether the unloading pathway alters to adapt to developmental transitions in sinks, especially in fleshy fruits accumulating a high level of soluble sugars. Using a combination of electron microscopy, transport of the phloem-mobile symplasmic tracer carboxyfluoresce...

Fitting mathematical models to describe the influence of topographic factors and coexisting plants on wild jujube distribution was performed provide a scientific basis for forestation. Investigation quadrats, with straight-line distances between adjacent quadrats longer than 100 m, were set up in areas wilderness or low human disturbance, which rich plant species. Data concerning altitude, slop...
