Alternative oxidase pathway inhibits PuWRKY7–PuHDAC15 complex to promote ester aroma synthesis in Nanguo pear
UncategorizedAbstractVolatile esters are key contributors to the characteristic aroma in fruit, and their accumulation directly dictates fruit quality and consumer acceptance. Alternative oxidase pathway is known to its role in regulating fruit quality, but its molecular mechanism in ester aroma accumulation remains…
Phosphoinositide-specific Phospholipase C 2 (SlPLC2) Facilitates Vesicle Formation and Modulates Immune Signaling in Tomato Phytophthora infestans Interactions
UncategorizedAbstractPhosphoinositide-specific phospholipases C (PI-PLC) are signaling enzymes that hydrolyze membrane phosphoinositides to generate lipid- and lipid-derived second messengers. In plants, PI-PLCs have been implicated in various physiological processes, including immunity. Tomato SlPLC2 was previously…

CsNAC8 positively regulates C6 aroma biosynthesis by activating key genes of lipoxygenase pathway in cucumber fruits under supplemental lighting
UncategorizedAbstractThe freshness of cucumber fruits mainly results from the six-carbon compounds (C6 aroma), which exhibit a unique flavor. Actually, the aroma content is greatly affected by environmental factors. However, how the light affects C6 content in cucumber and its regulatory mechanism remains unknown.…
Phospholipid homeostasis and gametophyte development require the glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterases GDPD5 and GDPD6
UncategorizedAbstractGlycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterases (GDPDs) hydrolyze glycerophosphodiesters, phospholipid metabolites generated by acyl hydrolases. We analyzed the function of the two related proteins GDPD5 and GDPD6 from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), which are expressed during phosphate starvation…
