The CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON2 (CUC2) gene plays an important role in the formation of apical meristem and organ edges in plants. The apical meristematic tissue of Brassica rapa (B. rapa) is associated with cold resistance, however, the role of the CUC2 gene in cold resistance of B.rapa is unclear. In this study, we used bioinformatics software to analy...

Two infectious clones of turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), pKBC-1 and pKBC-8, with differential infectivity in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis), were obtained. Both infected Nicotiana benthamiana systemically, inducing similar symptoms, whereas only virus KBC-8 infected Chinese cabbage systemically. To identify the determinants affecting...

Plant heat shock factor binding proteins (HSBPs) are well known for their implication in the negative regulation of heat stress response (HSR) pathways. Herein, we report on the hitherto unknown functions of HSBP1 in Brassica rapa (BrHSBP1). BrHBSP1 was found to be predominant in flower buds and young leaves, while its segmental duplicate, BrHSBP1-...

Background Long-term space missions will necessarily require producing viable seeds to be used for plant cultivation over time under altered gravity conditions. Pollen is known to play a key role in determining seed and fruit production over seed-to-seed cycles, but very few studies have evaluated pollen functionality under altered gravity. Methods...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are metal nanoparticles used in many applications in the healthcare and industrial fields. The use of AgNPs worldwide can reach 500 tons annually, potentially increasing. The release of silver metals into the environment causes pollution in the aquatic environment and bioaccumulation in organisms. Our previous research ...

The amount of chemical fertilizer for vegetables is on the high level in China. The use of organic fertilizers to meet the nutrient requirement of crops will be an inevitable practice in sustainable agriculture. In this study, we compared the effects of pig manure fertilizer, rabbit manure fertilizer and chemical fertilizer on yield, quality of Bra...

Brassica napus, a globally important oilseed crop, is an allotetraploid hybrid species with two subgenomes originating from Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea. The presence of two highly similar subgenomes has made the assembly of a complete draft genome challenging and has also resulted in natural homoeologous exchanges between the genomes, resul...

Orphan genes are essential to the emergence of species-specific traits and the process of evolution, lacking sequence similarity to any other identified genes. As they lack recognizable domains or functional motifs, however, efforts to characterize these orphan genes are often difficult. Flowering is a key trait in Brassica rapa, as premature bolti...

Glucosinolates (GSLs) are secondary metabolites providing defense against pathogens and herbivores in plants, and anti-carcinogenic activity against human cancer cells. Profiles of GSLs vary greatly among members of genus Brassica. In this study, we found that a reference line of Chinese cabbage (B. rapa ssp. pekinensis), ‘Chiifu’ contains signific...

The small regulatory C-TERMINALLY ENCODED PEPTIDE (CEP) peptide family plays crucial roles in plant growth and stress response. However, little is known about this peptide family in Brassica species. Here, we performed a systematic analysis to identify the putative Brassica rapa L. CEP (BrCEP) gene family. In total, 27 BrCEP genes were identified a...
