Discovery of three < em > Bemisia tabaci < /em > effectors and their effect on gene expression < em > in planta < /em >
In this study, we used three different strategies to identify three MEAM1 proteins that can act as effectors. Effector B1 was identified using a bioinformatics-driven effector-mining strategy, whereas effectors S1 and P1 were identified in the saliva of whiteflies collected from artificial diet and in phloem exudate of tomato on which nymphs where feeding, respectively. These three effectors were B. tabaci specific and able to increase whitefly fecundity when transiently expressed in tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum). Moreover, they reduced growth of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci in N. benthamiana. All three effectors c...

Eco-friendly management of Meloidogyne incognita in cadmium-contaminated soil by using nematophagous fungus Purpureocillium lavendulum YMF1.683: Efficacy and mechanism
In this study, we showed that the nematophagous fungus Purpureocillium lavendulum YMF1.683 exhibited a high nematocidal activity against the RKN Meloidogyne incognita and a high tolerance to CdCl2. Comparing to the P. lavendulum YMF1.838 which showed low tolerance to Cd2+, strain YMF1.683 effectively suppressed M. incognita infection and significantly reduced the Cd2+ uptake in tomato root and fruit in soils contaminated by 100 mg/kg Cd2+. Transcriptome analyses and validation of gene expression by RT-PCR revealed that the mechanisms contributed to high Cd-resistance in YMF1.683 mainly included activating autophagy pathway...

Synergistic roles of carbon dioxide nanobubbles and biochar for promoting direct CO < sub > 2 < /sub > assimilation by plants and optimizing nutrient uptake efficiency
This study investigates the synergistic role of carbon dioxide nanobubbles (CNBs) and biochar (BC) on seed germination, plant growth, and soil quality, employing Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) and Phaseolus vulgaris (beans) as test plant species. CNBs, generated and dispersed in both distilled water (DW) and tap water (TW), exhibited distinct characteristics, with TW-CNBs being larger and more stable (peak values of around 18.17 nm and 299.5 nm, zeta potential (ZP) of -5.91 mV), while DW-CNBs have peak values of around 1.63 nm and 216.1 nm, ZP of -3.23 mV. The results show that CNBs increased seed germination by 8-20%. CNBs...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 2208: Modification of Gene Expression of Tomato Plants through Foliar Flavonoid Application in Relation to Enhanced Growth
In this study, we investigated the impact of foliar application of flavonoids, specifically CropBioLife (CBL), on tomato plants grown under controlled conditions. Our study focused on determining growth parameters, such as cell size, and assessing the concentration of hormones. Principal component analysis (PCA) from all physiological variables was determined. Additionally, we utilized high-throughput mRNA-sequencing technology and bioinformatic methodologies to robustly analyze the transcriptomes of tomato leaves regulated by flavonoids. The findings revealed that CBL primarily influenced cell enlargement by 60%, leading ...

Enrichment of grape berries and tomato fruit with health-promoting tartaric acid by expression of the Vitis vinifera transketolase VvTK2 gene
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Dec 10:128734. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128734. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTartaric acid (TA) is a major non-fermentable plant soluble acid that abundantly occur in grapes and wines, imparting low pH and tart flavour to berries thereby regulating numerous quality attributes of wine, such as flavour, microbial stability, and aging potential. Evaluation of acidity in mature fruits of 21 wine grape (Vitis vinifera) varieties revealed significant variation between 'Beichun' and 'Gewürztraminer', which was correlated with TA content. RNA-seq analysis of fruits from the two cultivars at differen...

GSE221721 Transcriptomic analysis of resistant and wild-type Botrytis ci-nerea isolates revealed fludioxonil-resistant mechanisms
Contributors : Xuncheng Wang ; Mei Liu ; Liusheng DuanSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Botrytis cinereaBotrytis cinerea (gray mold) is one of the most destructive pathogens of cherry tomatoes, causing fruit decay and economic loss. Fludioxonil is an effective fungicide widely used for crop protec-tion and is essential for controlling tomato gray mold. The emergence of fungicide-resistant strains has made the control of Botrytis cinerea more difficult. While the genome of Botrytis cinerea is available, there are few reports regarding the large-scale functional annotation of the g...

Identification of quantitative trait loci associated with bacterial spot race T4 resistance in intra-specific populations of tomato ( < i > Solanum lycopersicum < /i > L. < i > ) < /i >
The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring resistance to race T4 in two independent recombinant inbred lines (RILs) populations NC 10204 (intra-specific) and NC 13666 (interspecific) developed by crossing NC 30P x NC22L-1(2008) and NC 1CELBR x PI 270443, respectively. Seven QTLs on chromosomes 2, 6, 7, 11, and 12 were identified in NC 10204. The QTL on chromosome 6 explained the highest percentage of phenotypic variance (up to 21.3%), followed by the QTL on chromosome 12 (up to 8.2%). On the other hand, the QTLs on chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11 were detected in NC 13666. ...
