As an economically important legume, Vicia sativa is commonly used as fodder for livestock and in health-promoting foods human consumption; however, cold stress one of the most limitations to its utilization at high altitudes. The shoot tissues three cold-resistant (Lan1, Lan2, Lan3) cold-sensitive (368, 521, 538) accessions were collected after (4°C) treatment 0, 6, 48 h assess their molecular...

Light quality is a key environmental factor affecting plant growth and development. In this study, RNA-seq technology was used to explore the molecular mechanisms of ginkgo metabolism under different monochromatic lights. Leaves were for transcriptome sequencing analysis after being irradiated by red, blue, white LED After treatment, 2040 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified. Gene O...

Plant secondary metabolism comprises an enormous diversity in compounds and enzymes, and wide spectra of mechanisms of gene regulation and of transport of metabolites and enzymes. Genetic approaches using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana have contributed importantly to recent progress in understanding glucosinolate biosynthesis and its intricate linkage with auxin homeostasis. Arabidopsis g...

So far only little data have been available concerning the eliciting capacity of well defined glycan molecules isolated from plant pathogens. This study brings new information about changes in plant cells caused by fungal pathogens. Sugar fractions derived from glycoproteins isolated from the fungus Fusarium sp. M7-1 have been tested here as signaling molecules. The ability of three O-glycan fr...

The floricultural industry has focused its attention primarily on the development of novel coloured and longer living cut flowers. The basis for this was laid down some years ago through the isolation of 'blue' genes and ethylene biosynthesis genes. Recently, a novel 'blue' gene has been discovered and yellow pigments were produced in petunias by addition of a new branch to the phenylpropanoid ...

Differences in seed storage tolerance between soybean cultivars have been frequently observed. Thus, identifying compounds found them that may be related to these differences is necessary support the selection of with seeds better potential. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate changes viability and vigor during two environments, relating antioxidant activity, production reactive oxygen species...

Much remains unknown about how transcription factors and sugars regulate phenylpropanoid metabolism in tuber crops like potato (Solanum tuberosum). Based on phylogeny and protein similarity to known regulators of phenylpropanoid metabolism, 15 transcription factors were selected and their expression was compared in white, yellow, red, and purple genotypes with contrasting phenolic and anthocyan...

This study investigated the effect of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on metabolic profiles and rosmarinic acid (RA) biosynthesis in cell cultures of Agastache rugosa Kuntze. Transcript levels of phenylpropanoid biosynthetic genes, i.e., ArPAL, Ar4CL, and ArC4H, maximally increased 4.5-fold, 3.4-fold, and 3.5-fold, respectively, compared with the untreated controls, and the culture contained relatively...
