Natural parasitism in fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) and interaction with wild hosts surrounding apple orchards adjacent to Atlantic Forest fragments in Paran á State, Brazil
Braz J Biol. 2021 Oct 11;83:e250505. doi: 10.1590/1519-6984.250505. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTThe South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is an important pest in the subtropical region of Brazil. This insect has tritrophic relation between wild fruits and parasitoids and is associated with apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) orchards adjacent to the Atlantic Forest in Paraná. We thus investigated the degree of infestation of the fruit fly and natural parasitism in wild and cultivated fruits surrounding apple orchards. For this purpose, we collected fruits of Acca sellowiana (Be...

Gibberellin Induced Transcriptome Profiles Reveal Gene Regulation of Loquat Flowering
In this study, we sprayed loquat plants with exogenous GA3, which resulted in vigorous vegetative growth rather than floral bud formation. We then performed a comprehensive RNA-seq analysis on GA3-treated and control-treated leaves and buds over three time periods to observe the effects of exogenous GA3 application on floral initiation and development. The results showed that 111 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 563 DEGs were down-regulated, and 151 DEGs and 506 DEGs were up-regulated in buds and leaves, respectively, upon treatment with GA3. Among those that are homologs of the DELLA-mediated GA signal pathway ge...

Genotyping of polyploid plants using quantitative PCR: application in the breeding of white-fleshed triploid loquats (Eriobotrya japonica)
Ploidy manipulation is effective in seedless loquat breeding, in which flesh color is a key agronomic and economic trait. Few techniques are currently available for detecting the genotypes of polyploids in pla... (Source: Plant Methods)

Physiological and transcriptomics analysis of the effect of recombinant serine protease on the preservation of loquat
This study aimed to explore the effects of recombinant serine protease treatment on the development of post-harvest loquat diseases, fruit quality, and disease resistance enzyme activities. It also sought to analyze differential genes expression using RNA-seq technology. Transcriptomics analysis revealed 708 and 398 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in loquat fruits treated with serine protease for 24 and 48 h. Furthermore, 2198 DEGs were obtained between 24 and 48 h after treatment. The genes encoding JAZ, MYC2 and ERF in the plant signal transduction pathway were significantly up-regulated. The resistance-related gen...
