BackgroundPlant homeodomain (PHD) finger proteins are widely present in all eukaryotes and play important roles in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation. The PHD finger can specifically bind a number of histone modifications as an “epigenome reader”, and mediate the activation or repression of underlying genes. Many PHD finger genes h...

Flowering time is a relevant agronomic trait because is crucial for the optimal formation of seeds and fruits. The genetic pathways controlling this developmental phase transition have been studied extensively in Arabidopsis thaliana. These pathways converge in a small number of genes including FT, the so-called florigen, which integrates environme...

Clubroot caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae poses a serious threat to canola production around the world, but sources of clubroot resistance in canola are limited. In this study, turnip cultivar “Purple Top White Globe,” which is highly resistant to pathotype 3 (Williams’ system), was used as the source of resistance. Genetic studies showed that th...

BackgroundPolyploidy is considered as a basic event in plant speciation and evolution in nature, and the cytological and proteomic profilings of floral buds at meiosis (FAM) would definitely contribute to a better understanding of the polyploid-associated effects during plant reproduction cycle.ResultsHerein, the cytological investigations demonstr...

BackgroundClubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, is a very important disease of Brassica species. Management of clubroot relies heavily on genetic resistance. In a cross of Brassica nigra lines PI 219576 (highly resistant, R) × CR2748 (highly susceptible, S) to clubroot, all F1 plants were resistant to clubroot. There was a 1:1 ratio...

BackgroundCaixin and Zicaitai (Brassica rapa) belong to Southern and Central China respectively. Zicaitai contains high amount of anthocyanin in leaf and stalk resulting to the purple color. Stalk is the major edible part and stalk color is an economically important trait for the two vegetables. The aim of this study is to construct a high density ...

AbstractThe orange color of the inner leaves of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) is attributed to the high content of carotenoids, which is controlled by a single recessive gene, BrCRTISO (Br-or). Due to the important roles of carotenoids in human, the orange color of inner leaves is a desirable agronomic trait for Chinese cabbage...

Several plastid macromolecular protein complexes are encoded by both nuclear and plastid genes. Therefore, cytonuclear interactions are held in place to prevent genomic conflicts that may lead to incompatibilities. Allopolyploidy resulting from hybridization and genome doubling of two divergent species, can disrupt these fine-tuned interactions, as...

Global deterioration of water, air, and soil quality by the release of toxic chemicals from anthropogenic pollutants is becoming a serious global problem. The extensive use of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) can be environmentally hazardous when these NPs enter the atmosphere. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of CuO NPs on plant gr...
