Overexpression of PsoRPM3, an NBS-LRR gene isolated from myrobalan plum, confers resistance to Meloidogyne incognita in tobacco
We reported an NBS-LRR gene, PsoRPM3, is highly expressed following RKN infection, initiating an HR response that promotes plant resistance.

CCS52 and DEL1 function in root-knot nematode giant cell development in **njiang wild myrobalan plum (Prunus sogdiana Vassilcz)
Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are highly invasive plant parasites that establish permanent feeding sites within the roots of the host plant. Successful establishment of the feeding site is essential for the survi...

Spatiotemporal evolution of C3/C4 vegetation and its controlling factors in southern China since the last glacial maximum
To date, few research have been reported on the evolution of C3/C4 vegetation in southern China, and the main mechanism influencing the evolution of C3/C4 vegetation is unclear. That makes it difficult for resear...

Enhanced vacuolar invertase activity and capability for carbohydrate import in GA-treated inflorescence correlate with increased fruit set in grapevine
Application of exogenous gibberellin (GA) has been widely used to improve fruit set in grapevine, although the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown. In this work, GA application at 10 days before ant...

Paleohydrological processes revealed by n-alkane δD in lacustrine sediments of Lake Pumoyum Co, southern Tibetan Plateau, and their response to climate changes during the past 18.5 cal ka
In this study, compound-specific hydrogen isotope values of n-alkanes (n-alkane δD) in a sediment core that dates to 18.5 cal ka BP were used to reconstruct the paleohydrological processes that couple glacial me...

Auxin- and cytokinin-induced berries set in grapevine partly rely on enhanced gibberellin biosynthesis
Gibberellins (GAs) have been widely used for many years to induce seedless grapevine and increase fruit set in production. However, the role of GAs and how they crosstalk with auxin and cytokinin during fruit ...

Roles of a sustained activation of NCED3 and the synergistic regulation of ABA biosynthesis and catabolism in ABA signal production in Arabidopsis
ABA, acting as a stress signal, plays crucial roles in plant resistance to water stress. Because ABA signal production is based on ABA biosynthesis, the regulation of NCED, a key enzyme in the ABA biosynthesis...
