Methylation histology reveals the molecular mechanism by which red light-mediated DNA methylation delays leaf senescence in Pak Choi (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis)
UncategorizedAbstractLeaf senescence is a key factor affecting the post-harvest quality and shelf life of vegetables. The specific mechanisms by which light environment and DNA methylation mediate leaf senescence remain unclear. This study explored the molecular mechanism by which red LED light (RL) delays leaf senescence…
Antecedent growth temperatures and soil water effects on heat tolerance during a heatwave and post-recovery in Pinus massoniana from two provenances
UncategorizedAbstractRising frequency and intensity of heatwaves pose a major threat to forest carbon sequestration worldwide. However, intraspecific differences in heat tolerance and the plasticity of these responses under combined warming, drought, and heatwaves remain poorly understood. We grew one-year-old seedlings…
Joint dependence of leaf minimum conductance on vapour pressure deficit and temperature
UncategorizedAbstractLeaf minimum conductance to water vapour (gmin) is a key trait that determines plant water loss and desiccation under conditions of low water availability. While gmin exhibits sensitivity to temperature in many species, the response of gmin to changes in vapour pressure deficit (VPD) – the…
Higher adaxial-to-abaxial stomatal density ratio in C3 cereals than dicots facilitates stomatal kinetics and water use efficiency
UncategorizedAbstractStomatal anatomical traits are known to influence stomatal movements and water use efficiency (WUE). However, it is unclear how strongly stomatal distribution regulates stomatal kinetics and WUE. In this study, we examined gas exchange parameters and stomatal traits in five cereal and five dicotyledonous…
Soybean Fine-Tunes Defense-Growth Trade-offs via Transcriptional Reprogramming During Beneficial P. chlororaphis Colonization
UncategorizedAbstractRhizosphere-associated plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) critically enhance plant defense and growth. Our previous study identified Pseudomonas chlororaphis IRHB3 from the soybean rhizosphere and demonstrated its efficacy in suppressing soil-borne disease and promoting plant growth.…

The GLASSY HAIR3 pectate lyase family protein drives papillae formation on trichome cell walls
UncategorizedAbstractNumerous papillae structures form on the cell wall surface of Arabidopsis trichomes. Papillae do not develop in the Arabidopsis glassy hair3 (glh3) mutant. Cloning of the GLH3 gene revealed that a member of the pectate lyase gene family is required for papillae formation. GLH3 pectate lyase expression…
Pollen-expressed methionine synthases in Nicotiana tabacum regulate pollen development and germination
UncategorizedAbstractMethionine synthases (MetEs) are essential for plant metabolism and are highly expressed during reproductive processes. Despite their importance, the subcellular localization of MetEs and their specific roles and regulatory mechanisms in plant reproduction remain unclear. To address these knowledge…
