Arabidopsis histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) demethylases play crucial roles in several developmental processes, but their involvement seedling establishment remain unexplored. Here, we show that JUMONJI DOMAIN-CONTAINING PROTEIN17 (JMJ17), an H3K4me3 demethylase, is involved cotyledon greening during establishment. Dark-grown seedlings of jmj17 accumulated a high concentration protochlorophyllide, i...

This study assessed and compared different methods for vegetative propagation of a miniature ornamental pineapple hybrid (ORN-MUT), seeking to determine the best method production plantlets, as well removal PMWaV viral complex from plants cultured in vitro, healthy parent plants. Pineapple wilt is disease that can cause large economic caused by called mealybug wilt-associated virus (PMWaV). For...

Hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. However, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. Grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. Unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. Here, we report the hypo...

Paeonia ostii is an economically important oil crop, which has been widely cultivated in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River China recent years. Although P. highly adaptable to environment, prolonged high summer temperature this region severely inhibits its growth, adversely affects seed yield quality. In study, plants were subjected 20°C/15°C (day/night) 40°C/35°C temperatures for 15...

Interseeding alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) into a silage corn (Zea mays companion crop can increase the yield and profitability of forage production reduce risk nutrient soil loss from cropland, but unreliable establishment hampers adoption this practice on dairy farms. This study evaluated plant survival, foliar health, dry matter yields two varieties when established in sown at populations ran...
