Summary: Ultrasonic treatment within a suitable range has positive effects on seed germination and plant growth. In this study, sugarcane varieties were treated with ultrasound waves, and the transcriptome changes of one variety were studied. The results showed that suitable ultrasonic treatment improved the growth of sugarcane buds and regulated the antioxidant system and hormone synthesis pathways, promoting germination.

Summary: Excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer is a significant cause of greenhouse gas emission in sugarcane cultivation. Exploiting genetic variation in high-BNF Saccharum spontaneum can help develop nitrogen-efficient varieties. Remarkable genetic variation for BNF and growth was found in S. spontaneum accessions, and some accessions exhibited high resilience to inorganic N application.

Summary: In this study, meta-QTL analysis was used to integrate 282 QTLs related to GDR and GWC. A total of 11 MQTLs associated with GDR and 34 MQTLs associated with GWC were identified. The average CI of GDR and GWC MQTLs was significantly reduced compared to the average QTL interval. Furthermore, a large number of candidate genes related to GDR and GWC, including genes related to hormone metabolism, were identified in the MQTL intervals.

Summary: The study found that the regulation of epicuticular wax metabolism in citrus fruit by ABA is influenced by water stress, with ABA treatment affecting the abundance of separated wax fractions and individual components in response to postharvest water stress. Storage duration is an important factor for the exogenous ABA influence on epicuticular wax composition, cuticle properties, and fruit physiology, showcasing dynamic ABA-mediated reconfiguration of wax metabolism under water stress conditions.

Summary: Camel milk has various medical uses and can treat diseases such as diarrhea and diabetes. This study investigated the evolutionary relationship, physiochemical characteristics, and genomic analysis of the casein gene family in camels. The casein proteins in camels were found to be unstable, thermostable, and hydrophilic. Additionally, the ratio of YY1 sites in different species may affect milk production.

Summary: A microwounding pre-treatment method was developed to facilitate agroinfiltration and transient gene expression in hard-to-agroinfiltrate citrus varieties. Optimization of parameters, selection of appropriate Agrobacterium strain, and incubation period length resulted in high transient expression levels, confirming the reliability of the method for protein subcellular localization studies in citrus. This simple and efficient method can accelerate functional genomic studies in citrus and potentially be applied to other recalcitrant species with extensive epidermal cuticular wax.

Summary: The gene construct encoding Talaromyces minioluteus dextranase (r-TmDEX) was expressed in Pichia pastoris with an increase in transgene dosage resulting in higher extracellular yield of the enzyme. The optimal activity of the N-glycosylated r-TmDEX was observed at pH 4.5-5.5 and temperature 50-60 degrees C, while the addition of sucrose as a stabilizer maintained enzyme activity under harsh conditions. The use of the P. pastoris pGAP-based expression system proved to be suitable for large-scale production of dextranase and its application in dextran removal.
