Summary: A study found 27 genes highly related to variegated testa color synthesis in peanuts, with 13 up-regulated and 14 down-regulated genes mainly involved in the flavonoid metabolism pathway. Validation through different methods showed that color differences in different areas are primarily caused by metabolites such as cyanidin and delphinidin.

Summary: In this study, 381 de novo genes were identified in Arachis peanut through comparative analysis. The expression patterns and gene structures of conserved and de novo genes showed distinct differences. These de novo genes originated from ancestral sequence regions associated with metabolic and biosynthetic processes, and were integrated into existing regulatory networks. De novo genes potentially play important roles in responses to biotic stresses as well as in growth and development.

Summary: The study revealed dynamic changes in oil accumulation rate and gene expression levels in developing peanut seeds. Analysis showed up-regulated genes related to fatty acid synthesis, carbon metabolism, and acetyl-CoA synthesis in high-oil varieties between 25-35 days after flowering. Candidate genes discovered, such as those encoding fatty acid synthase enzymes and transcription factors, may provide insight into molecular basis of peanut oil accumulation.

Summary: The study revealed that nutrient deficiency, specifically nitrogen and potassium, significantly reduced plant growth and root development in peanuts through miRNA-mediated pathways. Nitrogen deficiency decreased primary root length and lateral root number, while potassium deficiency promoted primary and lateral root growth. Roots responded differently to nitrogen and potassium deficiency stresses, potentially due to the regulation of miRNAs.

Summary: Plant protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) plays important roles in response to salt stress by influencing metabolic processes, hormone levels, and growth factors. In this study, 178 PP2C genes were identified in peanut, with segmental duplication in 78 gene pairs. Phylogenetic analysis divided AhPP2Cs into 10 clades (A-J). miRNA analysis identified 22 miRNAs targeting 57 AhPP2C genes. Gene structure and motif analysis revealed similarities in subclades AI and AII. Promoter analysis found MYB binding factors and ABA response elements in six genes. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis confirmed the importance of AhPP2C-A genes in protein binding, signal transduction, and response to abiotic stimulus. Tissue-specific expression of clade A AhPP2Cs was observed, with AhPP2C45 and AhPP2C134 up-regulated in response to salt stress. These findings suggest AhPP2C45 and AhPP2C134 as candidate PP2Cs conferring salt tolerance in peanut breeding.

Summary: We identified and analyzed AhPLCP genes in cultivated peanut and confirmed the involvement of AhRD21B in chilling tolerance through experiments. We found 52 AhPLCP genes and grouped them into eight subfamilies. The promoters of AhPLCP genes contained stress responsive elements. AhPLCP genes were generally constitutively expressed, and many genes showed cold responsiveness. Heterologous expression of AhRD21B significantly enhanced cold tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis by regulating cold-related genes. These findings provide important insights into the functions of AhPLCP genes in plant stress tolerance.

Summary: The study identified 126 LEA genes in the peanut genome through genome-wide analysis, divided into eight groups. Segmental duplication played a critical role in the amplification of AhLEAs, with most genes expressed in the late stages of peanut embryonic development. AhLEAs were involved in response to various abiotic stresses, regulated by hormones, and demonstrated enhanced tolerance to cold, aluminum, and drought stresses in yeast.

Summary: In this study, an ex situ collection of 60 fig accessions from Greece and other Mediterranean countries was established and analyzed using SSR loci. The results showed low allelic variation and high heterozygosity in Greek fig genotypes, indicating extensive outbreeding. Furthermore, there was little correlation between genetic makeup and geographical origin of the fig accessions. An identification key scheme for fig cultivars was developed for cultivar discrimination and intellectual property protection.

Summary: Peanut is an important food and feed crop that is affected by various stresses, and APYs play a crucial role in regulating cellular ATP levels under stress. In this study, we identified and characterized 17 APY homologs in peanut and studied their expression patterns and functional roles in different tissues and stress conditions. We found that the AhAPY2-1 gene showed abundant expression in the pericarp, and the functional characterization of AhAPY2-1 promoter in transgenic Arabidopsis plants suggested its potential use in enhancing the defensive abilities of the pericarp. These findings highlight the importance of APYs as a future research subject for peanut and other crops.

Summary: Heterosis refers to the better performance of cross progeny compared with inbred parents, and its utilization contributes greatly to agricultural production. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain heterosis mainly including dominance, over-dominance (or pseudo-overdominance) and epistasis. However, systematic dissection and verification of these hypotheses are rarely documented.

Summary: The Arabidopsis RPW8.1 gene enhances disease resistance but compromises plant growth. It has been found that RPW8.1 constitutively enhances the expression of WRKY51 transcription factor and activates salicylic acid and ethylene signaling pathways. WRKY51, in turn, suppresses RPW8.1 expression, forming a feedback regulation loop.

Summary: This study identified a secreted protein, Uv1809, as a key virulence factor in Ustilaginoidea virens-rice interactions. Uv1809 inhibits rice immunity and promotes infection by targeting and enhancing rice histone deacetylase OsSRT2-mediated histone deacetylation. CRISPR-Cas9 edited ossrt2 mutants showed broad-spectrum resistance to rice pathogens, indicating its potential as a genetic resource for breeding disease resistance.

Summary: In this study, a transcription factor called SlERF.G3-Like in tomato was found to play a role in regulating ethylene synthesis, cell wall degradation, and the flavonoid pathway. The researchers also discovered the interaction between SlERF.G3-Like and the master ripening regulator SlRIN, and increased the production of resveratrol derivatives through genetic manipulation. These findings provide insights into the coordination of fruit maturation and metabolic changes in tomatoes, and have implications for metabolic engineering.
