... The tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa Andr.) is a deciduous woody perennial endemic to Central Plains, Northwest, and Southern Yangtse, China, and is loved by the general public, horticulturists and gardeners all over the world. Tree peonies cultivars are usually propagated vegetatively by grafting and division; however, these methods are inefficient for mass-propagation. Two stem wounding methods ...

... The aim of the study was to determine the effect of osmoconcentration in a sucrose and sodium chloride solution on the efficiency of lactic fermentation and the content of polyphenols and oligosaccharides in yellow and red onion varieties: Alonso, Hysky, Hystore, and Red Lady. In most cases, no negative effect of onion dehydration was noted on the growth or number of the bacteria tested. Osmotic d ...
... Forecasting systems are widely used to predict the application of fungicides for managing late blight. However, airborne inoculum has rarely been included in these forecasting systems. Monitoring the sporangia in crop environments may offer an opportunity to improve late blight forecast systems by integrating pathogen pressure. Hence, this experiment aiming to analyze relationships between weather ...

Abstract:
... Banana fruits have attracted considerable attention for health-promoting effects attributed to ubiquitous functional metabolites. However, genotype-dependent accumulation patterns of carotenoids in banana remain largely unclear. Here, we performed a systematic metabolomic investigation of 18 banana cultivars of the AAA, AAB, or ABB genome groups. Our results indicate that the levels of soluble sug ...

Abstract:
... Drought stress limits fruit ripening and quality of grape cultivar, particularly with the use of root restriction. However, the mechanism involved in the molecular response to water deficit concomitant to agriculture adjustment remains poorly understood. In the present study, the regulation of two grape β-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCS) genes obtained with transcriptome analysis whose expression is si ...

Abstract:
... The OsLCD gene, which has been implicated in cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice, might be a useful target for CRISPR/Cas9 editing. However, the effects of OsLCD gene editing on Cd accumulation, plant growth, and yield traits remain unknown. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to generate oslcd single mutants from indica and japonica rice cultivars. We also generated osnramp5 single mutants and oslcd osnramp5 ...
