This study aims to: (i) identify the Rosa S-locus controlling self-incompatibility (SI); (ii) test the genetic linkage of the S-locus with other loci controlling important ornamental traits, such as the continuous-flowering (CF) characteristic; (iii) identify the S-alleles (SC ) of old Chinese CF cultivars (e.g, Old Blush, Slater's Crimson China) a...

The ripening of climacteric fruits is mainly controlled by the plant hormone ethylene. The regulatory effect of sucrose on ethylene biosynthesis in fruits remains unclear. Here we examined ethylene production in two Ussurian pear ( Pyrus ussuriensis ) varieties, ‘Nanguo’ (NG) pear and its bud sport variety (BNG), which has a higher sucrose content....

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades play pivotal roles in regulating plant immunity. MAPKs usually transduce signals and regulate plant immunity by phosphorylating the downstream defence-related components. Our previous study indicates that StMPK7 positively regulates plant defence to Phytophthora pathogens via SA signalling pathway. H...

Gypsophila paniculata , belonging to the Caryophyllaceae of the Caryophyllales, is one of the most famous worldwide cut flowers. It is commonly used as dried flowers, whereas the underlying mechanism of flower senescence has not yet been addressed. Here, we present a chromosome-scale genome assembly for G. paniculata with a total size of 749.58 Mb....

As the largest known tree-borne fruit in the world, jackfruit ( Artocarpus heterophyllus ) is an important cultivated crop in tropical regions of South and Southeast Asia. The species has been cultivated in China for more than 1000 years, but the history of its introduction to the country remains unclear. We assembled a high-quality chromosome-leve...

Citric acid and anthocyanin contents were co-selected during Citrus domestication. Pummelo is a founding species in the Citrus genus, but the domestication of pummelo has not been well studied. Here, we compared the citric acid and anthocyanin contents of a low citric acid pummelo ( Citrus maxima LCA) and its high citric acid variety (HCA) from the...

Environmental stresses can result in a wide range of physiological and molecular responses in plants. These responses can also impact epigenetic information in genomes, especially at the level of DNA methylation (5-methylcytosine). DNA methylation is the hallmark heritable epigenetic modification and plays a key role in silencing transposable eleme...

Cold stress limits plant growth, geographical distribution, and crop yield. The MYC-type bHLH transcription factor ICE1 is recognized as the core positive regulator of the cold-stress response. However, how ICE1 protein levels are regulated remains to be further studied. In this study, we observed that a U-box-type E3 ubiquitin ligase, MdPUB23, pos...

White rust caused by Puccinia horiana is one of the most serious diseases of chrysanthemum ( Chrysanthemum × morifolium ). In this study, we report the DNA markers associated with resistance against P. horiana via a simple approach using the genome of a wild diploid relative, Chrysanthemum seticuspe . First, we identified the important region of th...

High pollen fertility can ensure the yield and efficiency of breeding work, but factors that affect the fertility of pepper pollen have not been studied extensively. In this work, we screened the reduced pollen fertility 1 ( rpf1 ) mutant of Capsicum annuum with reduced pollen fertility and yellow anthers from an EMS (ethyl methanesulfonate)-mutage...
