planttissues, etc ; Alopecurus myosuroides; RNA; quantitative analysis; Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Simplex and multiplex RT-qPCR assays were developed for Alopecurus myosuroides partitivirus 1 (AMPV1), Alopecurus myosuroides partitivirus 2 (AMPV2) and Alopecurus myosuroides varicosavirus 1 (AMVV1), and compared to the existing conventional PCR assays. All assays had a high specificity and their sensitivity was increased compared to the conventional RT-PCR assays. As viral quantification is an i ...
planttissues, etc ; biogenesis; cytoskeleton; plasma membrane; transcription (genetics); Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... The membranes of plant cells serve diverse physiological roles, which are defined largely by the localized and dynamic recruitment of proteins. Signaling lipids, such as phosphoinositides, can aid protein recruitment to the plasma membrane via specific recognition of their head groups and influence vesicular trafficking, cytoskeletal dynamics and other processes, with ramifications for plant tissu ...
planttissues, etc ; apples; diffusivity; models; osmotic treatment; solutes; sucrose; water content; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... The accumulation of solutes on the food surface has resulted in notable contradictions between data resulting from modeling and information observed experimentally. Hence, the mechanisms involved in the transport of solutes in the plant tissue during osmotic dehydration (OD) have not been well documented. The purpose of this study was to analyze solute concentration at different depths of osmotica ...

Abstract:
... PURPOSE: The co-contamination of soil with heavy metals (HMs) and tetracyclines (TCs) is an environmental issue of great concern globally. The interactive effects of HMs (Cd and Cu) and TCs (tetracycline, oxytetracycline, and chlortetracycline, labeled with TC, OTC, and CTC, respectively) on contaminant removal from soil planted with Mirabilis jalapa L. were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pot e ...
planttissues, etc ; Triticum aestivum; leaves; oxygen; phenotype; phenotypic variation; provenance; stable isotopes; winter wheat; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Stable isotope analyses are the leading method for geographic origin determination, especially of plant-based agricultural products. Origin analysis is typically done by comparing a suspicious sample to reference materials with known geographic origin. Reference materials are usually collected at the species level, assuming different varieties of a species to have comparable isotope compositions w ...

Abstract:
... Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in lettuce causes a large amount of yield loss during industry. Although many studies report that exogenous melatonin helps to alleviate the Cd stress of lettuce, the molecular mechanism for how plant tissue responds to Cd treatment is unclear. Herein, we applied both PacBio and Illumina techniques for Italian lettuce under different designed treatments of Cd and melatoni ...

Abstract:
... Gracillariidae is the most taxonomically diverse cosmopolitan leaf‐mining moth family, consisting of nearly 2000 named species in 105 described genera, classified into eight extant subfamilies. The majority of gracillariid species are internal plant feeders as larvae, creating mines and galls in plant tissue. Despite their diversity and ecological adaptations, their phylogenetic relationships, esp ...

Abstract:
... Scape bending is the primary cause shortening the vase life of cut gerbera flowers (Gerbera jamesonii ‘Harmony’). A previous study showed that this bending is closely related to the scape hardness, which is attributed to cell wall rigidity maintained by calcium ion bonds. In this experiment, the developing gerbera scape was sprayed with 0.5 and 1% calcium chloride to determine whether exogenous ca ...

Abstract:
... Frost can cause irreversible damage to plant tissue and can significantly reduce yields and quality. A thorough understanding of the freezing dynamics is crucial to developing strategies for frost protection and the prevention of freezing damage. This study investigated artificial intelligence machine learning (ML) models to capture the thermodynamic patterns of freezing based on infrared thermogr ...
planttissues, etc ; analytical methods; attitudes and opinions; phenotypic variation; plant organs; planting; regulatory sequences; sequence analysis; transcription (genetics); Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Plant tissues and organs are composed of functionally discrete cell types that are all defined by the same genome sequence. Cell-type variation in part arises from differential accessibility of cis-regulatory elements that encode the blueprints for transcriptional programs underlying cell identity and function. Owing to technical limitations, the role of cis-regulatory elements in cell identity ma ...
... Ditylenchus destructor is a plant-parasitic nematode that seriously infests sweet potato crop in China. Thus, fast and accurate detection of D. destructor in soil and plant tissue samples is of great significance. In this study, a real-time recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay was developed for the rapid and accurate detection of D. destructor in various samples. The RPA assay could be ...
... Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar periwinkle), a medicinal plant possessing high pharmacological attributes, is widely recognized for the biosynthesis of anticancer monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) — vinblastine and vincristine. The plant is known to biosynthesize more than 130 different bioactive MIAs, highly acclaimed in traditional and modern medicinal therapies. The MIA biosynthesis is stri ...
... The accumulation of arsenic (As), in medicinal herbs, is detrimental due to its adverse effects on plant metabolism and consumer health. The present study aims to examine the ameliorative effect of two arsenate [As(V)] reducing endophytic bacterial strains (CIMAP-A4 and BAC-7) on As induced photo-toxicity in Bacopa monnieri. The inoculation of BAC-7 and CIMAP-A4 in As contaminated soil showed an i ...

... The English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae, is a cosmopolitan pest that feeds on cereals, provoking substantial yield losses by injuring plant tissue and by vectoring plant viruses. Here we report a highly complete, de novo draft genome of the grain aphid using long-read sequencing. We generated an assembly of 2740 contigs with a N50 of 450 kb. We compared this draft genome with that of other aphid ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is routinely applied by farmers to increase crop yields. At present, farmers often over-apply N fertilizer in some locations or at certain times because they do not have high-resolution crop N status data. N-use efficiency can be low, with the remaining N lost to the environment, resulting in higher production costs and environmental pollution. Accurate and timely estimatio ...

Abstract:
... Acrylamide (AA) is formed by Maillard Reaction (MR), during high-temperature and low moisture processes in several food categories, including bakery products. AA is classified as a toxic and carcinogenic compound and therefore, mitigation strategies are necessary to control its concentration in foods. Selecting ingredients with a reduced amount of asparagine, the main AA precursor, is the most eff ...
... Expression of double-stranded RNAs in plastids offers great potential for the efficient control of chewing insects. However, many insect pests do not consume plant tissue but rather feed on the host plant by sucking sap from the vascular system. Whether or not plastid-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) can be employed to control sap-sucking insects is unknown. Here, we show that five species of sap- ...

Abstract:
... PURPOSE: In cold climates, glyphosate residues may linger in soils, with effects on plant–microbe interactions and, consequently, plant performance. Here, we explore the influence of glyphosate residues on the endophytic microbiota (bacteria and fungi) and performance of the perennial nitrogen-fixing weed Lupinus polyphyllus. METHODS: In a common garden, we grew plants from six populations of L. p ...

Abstract:
... Ultramafic rain forests in New Caledonia evolved on some of the most nutrient impoverished soils globally and are some of the slowest-growing tropical forests known. This study aimed to determine nutrient stocks and elucidate the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients in a remnant lowland rain forest in southern New Caledonia. Based on an inventory of a 1-ha permanent plot, exhaustive plant tissue sa ...

Abstract:
... Vacuum impregnation is considered a cold formulation technology since it allows the incorporation of a desired functional compound into porous plant tissue without applying any heat. It is widely used in combination with the drying process to obtain added-value snacks. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of two trehalose concentrations (5 and 10% w/w) on: (i) the water state and textur ...
