- Abstract:
- ... Grafting is a widely used practice in fruit-bearing vegetables. However, why grafting affects plant growth, fruit yield, and quality, especially from the aspect of mineral nutrition, remains unclear. In this study, watermelon cultivar ‘Zaojia 8424’ was grafted onto bottle gourd ‘Jingxinzhen 1’ (Lagenaria siceraria) and pumpkin ‘Qingyanzhen 1’ (Cucurbita maxima × C. moschata). Non-grafted plants we ...

- Abstract:
- ... Anti-nutritional factors such as lectins, saponin, trypsin inhibitor and phytic acid are endogenous substances in the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). In this study, the contents or activities of these anti-nutritional factors in fresh pods were detected in 56 selected cultivars. The results revealed significant difference within each factor in the tested cultivar population. The mean value of ...

- Abstract:
- ... Poor resolution for the identification of endopeptidase (EP) activity in activity gel assays is a critical issue in the analysis of the postharvest physiology of rose petals. In this paper, major factors influencing EP activity gel assays were evaluated. The results showed that a phosphate (NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4) buffer favors the detection of clear EP bands, as compared to Tris–HCl buffer. Removal of s ...

- Abstract:
- ... The aim of our study was to assess differences in the expression of genes involved in fruit softening and ethylene biosynthetic pathways under different temperature storage conditions. Different peach cultivars of ‘Xiacui’ and ‘Yumyeong’, which are stonyhard, ‘Yinhualu’, which is soft-melting, ‘Hujing Milu’, which is hard-melting, and ‘Baby Gold 6’, which is non-melting at 80% ripening, were colle ...

- Abstract:
- ... A bHLH transcription factor that is induced by low temperature was found in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.). To understand the sequence characteristics of the gene, bioinformatics analysis was performed. Furthermore, gene expression patterns of the laminated apple seeds and lateral flower buds were analyzed during the period of dormancy release with semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Based on secondary st ...

- Abstract:
- ... A hexokinase gene named MdHXK1 (MDP0000309677) was cloned from ‘Gala’ apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.). Sequence analysis showed that the MdHXK1 gene was 1 497 bp long and encoded 499 amino acids. The predicted molecular mass of this protein was 54.05 kD, and the pI was 5.76. A phylogenetic tree indicated apple MdHXK1 exhibited the highest sequence similarity to Pyrus bretschneideri PbHXK1. Analys ...

- Abstract:
- ... Pepper flowers are hermaphroditic; the plant's male sterility trait is characterized by its inability to produce pollen grains. In the ABC model of flower development, B-function genes play roles in petal and stamen development in the angiosperm. In this study, a B-class gene designated as PAP3 (GenBank accession no. HM104635) was isolated in pepper. The gene encoded 226 amino acids and shared hig ...

- Abstract:
- ... Light quality significantly affects photosynthetic efficiency in plants. The mechanisms for how light quality affects photosynthesis in grape is poorly understood. Therefore, to investigate the effects of different light qualities on chloroplast ultrastructure and photosynthesis efficiency, two grape cultivars ‘Italia’ (slower speed of leaf senescence) and ‘Centennial Seedless’ (faster speed of le ...
