Organic acid content in fruit is an important determinant of peach organoleptic quality, and undergoes considerable variations during development and maturation. However, its molecular mechanism remains largely unclear. In this study, an integrative approach of genome-wide association studies and comparative transcriptome analysis was applied to id...

Flowering date is an important trait in Prunus fruit species, especially for their adaptation in a global warming context. Numerous quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been identified and a major one was previously located on LG4. The objectives of this study were to fine-map this QTL in sweet cherry, to identify robust candidate genes by using the...

L-Theanine is a crucial secondary metabolite in tea and positively determines the potential quality and health benefits of tea products. Previous work found that the content of L-theanine decreased during the withering process, although the specific mechanism is still unknown. Here, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed...

Cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) often experiences chilling stress that limits its growth and productivity. Grafting is widely used to improve abiotic stress resistance by exploiting a vigorous root system, suggesting there exists systemic signals communication between distant organs. mRNAs are reported to be evolving fortification strategies involvi...

Nitrate is the major nitrogen source for higher plants. In addition to serving as a nutrient, it is also a signaling molecule that regulates plant growth and development. Although membrane-bound nitrate transporter/peptide transporters (NRT/PTRs) have been extensively studied and shown to regulate nitrate uptake and movement, little is known about ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS) is widespread mutualistic association between plants and fungi, which plays an essential role in nutrient exchange, enhancement in plant stress resistance, development of host, and ecosystem sustainability. Previous studies have shown that plant small secreted proteins (SSPs) are involved in beneficial symbiot...

Naturally occurring methylated catechins, especially methylated EGCG in tea leaves, are known to have many health benefits. Although the genes involved in methylated EGCG biosynthesis have been studied extensively, the transcription factors that control methylated EGCG biosynthesis are still poorly understood. In the present study, a WRKY domain-co...

The tea plant is an economically important crop in China, but long-term monoculture and substantial chemical nitrogen fertilizer input cause soil acidification, which in turn affects the nutrient supply and tea quality. Intercropping has drawn more attention in tea gardens because this pattern is expected to improve soil fertility and tea quality a...
