Abstract:
... Aquaporins (AQPs) are one of the most ancient superfamily proteins, which are essential for maintaining the fluid homeostasis of most organisms against various environments. Here, the latest findings for function of AQPs in cell signal transduction in plants are summarized. We also put forward several issues that still need to be addressed in the future. ...

Abstract:
... Pear fruit senescence under high- and low-temperature conditions has been reported to be mediated by microRNAs. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which can function as competing endogenous RNAs that interact with microRNAs, may also be involved in temperature-affected fruit senescence. Based on the transcriptome and microRNA sequencings, in this study, 3330 lncRNAs were isolated from Pyrus pyrifolia ...

Abstract:
... Traditional workflow analysis requires intensive manual processes to extract meaningful information from raw sensory data. A novel framework for workflow analysis is developed based on a real-time indoor location tracking system utilizing Ultra-Wide Band technology. The proposed framework is applied to identify worker and task associations in a labor-intensive horticultural plant production proces ...

Abstract:
... Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) is an evergreen fruit tree species of the Rosaceae, and its unique flowering time greatly hinders its production. To explore the artificial regulation of loquat flowering time, we removed the main inflorescence (by cutting it) to induce reflowering. For different loquat tree cultivars with different stages, the inflorescence was removed by cutting the main flora ...

Abstract:
... Cucurbitaceae is one of the most important plant families distributed worldwide. Transcription factors (TFs) regulate plant growth at the transcription level. Here, we performed a systematic analysis of 42 641 TFs from 63 families in 14 Cucurbitaceae and 10 non-cucurbit species. Whole-genome duplication (WGD) was the dominant event type in almost all Cucurbitaceae plants. The TF families were divi ...

Abstract:
... Glucosinolates (GLS) contribute to the unique flavour, nutrition, and plant defence of the Cruciferous vegetables. Understanding the GLS changes through postharvest processing is essential for defined preservation. In this study, four different fresh-cut types, whole flower (W), floret (F), quarterly cut floret (QF) and shredded floret (FS) of broccoli, were stored for 0, 1, 2 and 3 day (s) to exp ...

Abstract:
... Cabbage has significant heterosis and most commercial cultivars are hybrids. To exploring genetic basis of cabbage heterosis and promote cabbage heterosis utilization, we constructed two populations by crossing 100 DH lines derived from a cabbage hybrid 01–20 × 96–100 with two female parents. Hybrids exhibited different extents of heterosis, the mean value of economic yield was 2.6 times bigger th ...

Abstract:
... Agriculture practices developed since the middle of the last century have led to the degradation of different resources and made it necessary to promote agricultural models that are less aggressive towards nature. Sustainable agricultural growth requires a more efficient use of land. An experimental model was designed with four treatments in the Campo de Cartagena area (SE Spain): biosolarization ...

Abstract:
... Vegetable grafting has become an important method for developing resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and increasing potential yield in agronomic practice. To determine the effects of grafting on tomato taste, we examined the cultivated tomato ‘Moneymaker’ and the wild tomato Solanum pimpinellifolium, which have different fruit weights and qualities, to investigate the effect of grafting on s ...

Abstract:
... Corolla opening is essential for the propagation of unisexual flowering plants, meanwhile commodity fruits with opening corolla have higher commodity value in cucumber fresh food market. Until now, there is little research on the mechanism of corolla opening in cucumber. In a previous paper, we identified a unique cucumber (Cucumis sativus) line (‘6457’) that possesses super ovaries and shows dela ...

Abstract:
... Wax gourd (Benincasa hispida [Thunb] Cogn.) is an important horticultural crop in the Cucurbitaceae family that has high nutritive and medicinal value. We analysed quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to the fruit-related traits of wax gourd by constructing a high-density genetic map through whole-genome resequencing. We obtained an F₂ population of 195 individuals by crossing two inbred wax gou ...

Abstract:
... The shape of fruit apex is critical to appearance quality in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), of which the genetic basis was poorly understood, and the use of marker-assisted breeding for fruit apex improvement is not available yet. In this study, the variation of fruit apex in different cucumber ecotypes was evaluated by fruit apex angle (variation coefficient from 7.1% to 15.7%) and fruit apex ind ...

Abstract:
... DNA barcoding is a supplementary tool in plant systematics, extensively used to resolve the species level controversies. This paper details the identification of DNA barcodes for seven species of Momordica, using the chloroplast gene matK. Since the species M. cymbalaria has been confused as a member of the genus Luffa, 26 accessions of Momordica belonging to seven Indian species and two accession ...

Abstract:
... Pruning is time-consuming and laborious in watermelon cultivation, which can not meet the needs for simplified cultivation in the future. The development of branchless lines will provide important germplasms for breeding watermelon varieties and is an important method for genetic improvement. In this study, the watermelon accession, Wu Cha Zao (WCZ) is a branchless inbred line that carries the bra ...

Abstract:
... P450 (cytochrome P450) is a supergene family, which is involved in various metabolic pathways in plants. Based on previous study, we found some of cucumber P450 mRNAs were systemic mobile in cucumber/pumpkin grafts. However, the reason that why P450 mRNAs were endorsed as signaling, and what specific motif (s) did they harbored is not clear yet. Here, we first identified 221 CsaP450 genes in cucum ...

Abstract:
... Strawberry is a highly efficient and economical horticultural crop plant, and strawberry fruits are easy to soften after ripening and decay after harvest, which severely impacts the economic benefits. Expansins are plant cell-wall loosening proteins involved in the process of fruit softening, loosening cell walls and reducing fruit firmness. In this study, 35 FvEXPs genes were identified in the F. ...
