5a, 6a). Furthermore, we transformed 35 S:PTH into the pointed tip fruit accession (TS-3) that is homozygous for the PTR allele and non-pointed tip fruit accession (TS-9, PTH + / + ), respectively. We observed that the PTH-overexpressing lines (PTH-OE-2, PTH-OE-3, ...
sudden complete failure (fatal ‘brittle’ failure) for the distal pericarp, and slower gradual failure (‘composite’ failure) for the proximal pericarp. This breaking behaviour clearly identifies this distal region mechanically as the PBZ crack initiation zone (iPBZ) for pericarp rupture, which upo...
Conclusions: This study provides insight into the responsive network for water-induced cracking in tomato fruit. Specifically, lncRNAs regulate the hormone-redox-cell wall network, including plant hormone (auxin, ethylene) and ROS (H2O2) signal transduction and many cell wall-related mRNAs (EXP, PG...
such asArabidopsis[27], rice (O. sativasubsp.Japonicacv.) [28], poplar (Populus spp.) [29], flax [30], and Asiatic cotton (Gossypium arboretum) [31]. All PME genes from those species contain a catalytically active zone PME domain, and some of them also comprise a pectin methylesterase...
At the front of the tractor (1), two disc wheels with rotational axis essentially vertical to elastic bars (6) are activated (6a), in such a way so as to move (8a) the scattered fruit (8), towards their central zone. At the rear of the tractor, a support frame (10, 11), for...
A plant is considered “hardy” in a zone if it can withstand the average minimum temperature in that area. If your area is too cold for a plant to live through winter, you can still grow it as an annual. Hardiness zones are not as applicable to annual vegetables, such as tomatoes or...
the rate of the nucleotide number=330 bp accounted for 64.71%,which distribution of A was 19.39%-20.61%;T,18.79%-20.91%;G,29.70%-30.61% and C,30.00%-30.91%.The prediction result of its secondary structure with RNAstructure software indicated that the zone of its base pairing was gradually...
twist and pullseries of movements are believed as the best picking method for tomatoes and passion fruit, as they grow a pedicel abscission zone (natural breakpoint) to shed ripe fruits naturally (Ito & Nakano,2015). While for fruits like apple, citrus, mango, and avocado which have woody ...
Materials and Methods Plant Material and Treatments The field study was conducted at the Ashtabula Agricul- tural Research Station (AARS), in Kingsville in northeast Ohio (USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6b (-17.8 to -20.6 °C) (ARS-USDA 2012). 'Pinot gris' grapevines (Clone 146, rootstock 101-...
and intermediate phenotypes with subtle and/or partial abscission layer formation (Supplementary Fig.1B) and marked scar formation in the abscission zone (Supplementary Fig.1C). Only 31% of the climacteric lines presenting abscission layer fell from the plant, and even the controls Ved and Hyb ...
