Open AccessComparative physiology and transcriptome response patterns in cold-tolerant and cold-sensitive varieties of Solanum melongena
Climate change has led to severe cold events, adversely impacting global crop production. Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), a significant economic crop, is highly susceptible to cold damage, affecting both yield a...

Open AccessGenetic variation, correlation, and association map** of seed yield and its component traits in sesame
Sesame is an important and specific oilseed crop with high quality. Here, we systematically investigated the relationships between plant seed yield (PSY) and nine related traits in 369 sesame core accessions u...

Open AccessA single nucleotide substitution at the 3′-end of SBPase gene involved in Calvin cycle severely affects plant growth and grain yield in rice
Calvin cycle plays a crucial role in carbon fixation which provides the precursors of organic macromolecules for plant growth and development. Currently, no gene involved in Calvin cycle has been identified in...

Open AccessA high-density genetic map constructed using specific length amplified fragment (SLAF) sequencing and QTL map** of seed-related traits in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n = 2x = 26) is an important oilseed crop with high oil content but small seed size. To reveal the genetic loci of the quantitative seed-related traits, we constructed a high-density ...

Open AccessIdentification of a SiCL1 gene controlling leaf curling and capsule indehiscence in sesame via cross-population association map** and genomic variants screening
Leaf shape can affect plantlet development and seed yield in sesame. The morphological, histological and genetic analyses of a sesame mutant cl1 (cl) with curly leaf and indehiscent capsule traits were performed ...

Open AccessCharacterization of the hot pepper (Capsicum frutescens) fruit ripening regulated by ethylene and ABA
Ripening of fleshy fruits has been classically defined as climacteric or non-climacteric. Both types of ripening are controlled by plant hormones, notably by ethylene in climacteric ripening and by abscisic ac...

Open AccessNew Evidence for the Role of Ethylene in Strawberry Fruit Ripening
It has been suggested that the phytohormone ethylene plays a role in strawberry fruit ripening, and new genetic evidence for the role of this hormone in strawberry ripening is provided in this study. The combi...

Open AccessBrassinosteroid is involved in strawberry fruit ripening
Although brassinosteroid (BR) has been suggested to play a role in strawberry fruit ripening, the defined function of this hormone remains unclear in the fruit. Here, BR content and BR receptor gene FaBRI1 expres...

Open AccessCloning and Characterization of the H Subunit of a Magnesium Chelatase Gene (PpCHLH) in Peach
It has been suggested that the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in the ripening of climatic fruit, although relevant genetic/molecular evidence is lacking. In the present study, a peach...
