| 1 | Overexpression of the Watermelon Ethylene Response Factor ClERF069 in Transgenic Tomato Resulted in Delayed Fruit Ripening显示文摘Watermelon fruit undergoes distinct development stages with dramatic changes during fruit ripening.To date,the molecular mechanics of watermelon ripening remain unclear.Genetic and transcriptome evidences suggested that the ethylene response factor(ERF)gene ClERF069 may be an important candidate factor affecting watermelon fruit ripening.To dissect the roles of ClERF069 in fruit ripening,structure and phylogenetic analysis were performed using the amplified full-length sequence.Normal-ripening watermelon 97103,non-ripening watermelon PI296341-FR and the RIL population were used to analyze ClERF069 expression dynamics and the correlation with fruit ripening indexs.The results indicated that ClERF069 belongs to ERF family group VI and show high homology(83%identity)to melon ERF069-like protein.ClERF069 expression in watermelon flesh was negatively correlated with fruit lycopene content and sugar content during fruit ripening progress.Further transgenic evidences indicated that overexpression of 35S:ClERF069 in tomato noticeably delayed the ripening process up to 5.2 days.Lycopene,β-carotenoid accumulation patterns were altered and ethylene production patterns in transgenic fruits was significantly delayed during fruit ripening.Taken together,watermelon ethylene response factor ClERF069 was concluded to be a negative regulator of fruit ripening. | Ming Zhou Shaogui Guo Shouwei Tian Jie Zhang Yi Ren Guoyi Gong Changbao Li Haiying Zhang Yong Xu | 2020 | Horticultural Plant Journal2020,6,4: | 9 |
| 2 | Modulation of Sex Expression in Four Forms of Watermelon by Gibberellin, Ethephone and Silver Nitrate显示文摘There has been no systematic research on the effect of plant growth regulators and silver nitrate treatments on the control of sex expression in watermelon. In this study, we tested sex expression responses of four watermelon forms(monoecism, gynoecism, andromonoecism,and hermaphrodite) to gibberellin, ethephon and silver nitrate treatments. Results have shown that, in monoecious plants, gibberellins(GA_3)and ethephon treatments reduced the percentage of female flowers and delayed the occurrence of the first female flower, while silver nitrate induced the formation of bisexual flowers. In gynoecious plants, both ethephon and silver nitrate treatments transformed some female flowers into bisexual flowers, and treatment with ethephon resulted in a mass of abnormal flowers, while no obvious effect of treatment with GA_3 was observed. In andromonoecious plants, ethephon and GA_3 treatments delayed the occurrence of the first bisexual flower, and GA_3 reduced the percentage of bisexual flowers, while no distinct effect for silver nitrate treatment was observed. In hermaphroditic plants, ethephon treatment induced the appearance of numerous abnormal flowers, while no obvious effects for GA_3 and silver nitrate treatments were observed.We analyzed the transcription levels of all the expressed aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase(ACS) homologues in two gynoecious mutants and their wild types. We also tested the gene expression of CitACS4 which had been recognized as the andromonoecious gene in all treatments. All these results suggested that the best masculinizing treatment for breeding of the gynoecious line is silver nitrate, which repressed the expression of CitACS4 and induced many bisexual flowers for use in self-fertilization subsequently. | ZHANG Jie SHI Jianting JI Gaojie ZHANG Haiying GONG Guoyi GUO Shaogui REN Yi FAN Jianguang TIAN Shouwei XU Yong | 2017 | Horticultural Plant Journal2017,3,3: | 6 |
| 3 | Microstructure in the Semi-solid State and Mechanical Properties of AZ80 Magnesium Alloy Reheated from the As-cast and Extruded States显示文摘The multi-axial forging(MAF) process was introduced into the strain induced metal activation(SIMA) process to replace conventional forging.Microstructure evolution of MAF formed AZ80 magnesium alloy during partial remelting was investigated.Furthermore,the tensile mechanical properties for AZ80 magnesium alloy thixoextruded from the starting materials treated by MAF were determined.For comparison,as-cast AZ80 magnesium alloy was also thixoextruded.The results show that the SIMA route produced ideal,fine semi-solid microstructure,in which almost completely spheroidal primary solid grains had a little amount of entrapped liquid.The microstructure of the as-cast alloy in the semi-solid state is less spheroidized compared with the MAF alloy under the similar isothermal holding conditions.With prolonged holding time,the size of the solid grain increases and the degree of spheroidization is improved in the MAF formed alloys.However,the solid grain size of the as-cast alloys decreases initially,and then increases with further increasing temperature.The tensile mechanical properties for AZ80 magnesium alloy thixoextruded from the starting material produced by MAF are better than those of AZ80 magnesium alloy thixoextruded from the starting material produced by casting.The ultimate tensile strength,yield strength and elongation of the alloy thixoextruded from the starting material produced by MAF are 314 MPa,238 MPa and 14%,respectively. | Wenyong JIANG Tian CHEN Liping WANG Yicheng FENG Yan ZHU Kaifeng WANG Jiapeng LUO Shouwei ZHANG | 2013 | Acta Metallurgica Sinica(English Letters)2013,26,4: | 1 |
| 4 | CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of CiBG1 decreased seed size and promoted seed germination in watermelon显示文摘Abscisic acid(ABA)is a critical regulator of seed development and germination.β-glucosidases(BGs)have been suggested to be contributors to increased ABA content because they catalyze the hydrolysis of ABA-glucose ester to release free ABA.However,whether BGs are involved in seed development is unclear.In this study,a candidate gene,CiBG1,in watermelon was selected for targeted mutagenesis via the CRISPR/Cas9 system.Seed size and weight were significantly reduced in the Clbg1-mutant watermelon lines,which was mainly attributed to decreased cell number resulting from decreased ABA levels.A transcriptome analysis showed that the expression of 1015 and 1429 unique genes was changed 10 and 18 days after pollination(DAP),respectively.Cytoskeleton-and cell cycle-related genes were enriched in the differentially expressed genes of wild type and Clbg1-mutant lines during seed development.Moreover,the expression of genes in the major signaling pathways of seed size control was also changed.In addition,seed germination was promoted in the Cibg1-mutant lines due to decreased ABA content.These results indicate that ClBG1 may be critical for watermelon seed size regulation and germination mainly through the modulation of ABA content and thereby the transcriptional regulation of cytoskeleton-,cell cycle-and signaling-related genes.Our results lay a foundation for dissecting the molecular mechanisms of controlling watermelon seed size,a key agricultural trait of significant economic importance. | Yanping Wang Jinfang Wang Shaogui Guo Shouwei Tian Jie Zhang Yi Ren Maoying Li Guoyi Gong Haiying Zhang Yong Xu | 2021 | Horticulture Research2021,8,1: | 1 |
| 5 | Natural variation in the NAC transcription factor NONRIPENING contributes to melon fruit ripening显示文摘ThThe NAC transcription factor NONRIPENING(NOR)is a master regulator of climacteric fruit ripening.Melon(Cucumis melo L.)has climacteric and nonclimacteric fruit ripening varieties and is an ideal model to study fruit ripening.Two natural CmNAC-NOR variants,the climacteric haplotype CmNAC-NOR^(S,N) and the non-climacteric haplotype CmNAC-NOR^(A,S),have effects on fruit ripening;however,their regulatory mechanisms have not been elucidated.Here,we report that a natural mutation in the transcriptional activation domain of CmNAC-NORS,Ncontributes to climacteric melon fruit ripening.CmNAC-NOR knockout in the climacteric-type melon cultivar“BYJH”completely inhibited fruit ripening,while ripening was delayed by 5-8 d in heterozygous cmnac-nor mutant fruits.CmN AC-NOR directly activated carotenoid,ethylene,and abscisic acid biosynthetic genes to promote fruit coloration and ripening.Furthermore,CmNAC-NOR mediated the transcription of the“CmNAC-NOR-CmNAC73-CmCWINV2”module to enhance flesh sweetness.The transcriptional activation activity of the climacteric haplotype CmNAC-NORS,Non these target genes was significantly higher than that of the nonclimacteric haplotype CmNAC-NOR^(A,S).Moreover,CmNAC-NORS,Ncomplementation fully rescued the non-ripening phenotype of the tomato(Solanum lycopersicum)cr-nor mutant,while CmNAC-NOR^(A,S) did not.Our results provide insight into the molecular mechanism of climacteric and non-climacteric fruit ripening in melon. | Jinfang Wang Shouwei Tian Yongtao Yu Yi Ren Shaogui Guo Jie Zhang Maoying Li Haiying Zhang Guoyi Gong Min Wang Yong Xu | 2022 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2022,64,7: | 1 |
| 6 | Mutation in the gene encoding 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase 4 (CitACS4) led to andromonoecy in watermelon显示文摘Although it has been reported previously that ethylene plays a critical role in sex determination in cucurbit species, how the andromonoecy that carries both the male and hermaphroditic flowers is determined in watermelon is still unknown. Here we showed that the watermelon gene 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase 4(Cit ACS4), expressed specifically in carpel primordia, determines the andromonoecy in watermelon. Among four single nucleotide polymorphism(SNPs) and one InDel identified in the coding region of Cit ACS4, the C364 W mutation located in the conserved box 6 was cosegregated with andromonoecy. Enzymatic analyses showed that the C364 W mutation caused a reduced activity in Cit ACS4. We believe that the reduced Cit ACS4 activity may hamper the programmed cell death in stamen primordia, leading to the formation of hermaphroditic flowers. | Gaojie Ji Jie Zhang Haiying Zhang Honghe Sun Guoyi Gong Jianting Shi Shouwei Tian Shaogui Guo Yi Ren Huolin Shen Junping Gao Yong Xu | 2016 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2016,58,9: | 1 |
| 7 | ClSnRK2.3 negatively regulates watermelon fruit ripening and sugar accumulation显示文摘Watermelon(Citrullus lanatus) as non-climacteric fruit is domesticated from the ancestors with inedible fruits. We previously revealed that the abscisic acid(ABA) signaling pathway gene ClSnRK2.3 might infuence watermelon fruit ripening. However,the molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here,we found that the selective variation of ClSnRK2.3 resulted in lower promoter activity and gene expression level in cultivated watermelons than ancestors, which indicated ClSnRK2.3 might be a negative regulator in fruit ripening. Overexpression (OE) of ClSnRK2.3 significantly delayed watermelon fruit ripening and suppressed the accumulation of sucrose, ABA and gibberellin GA4. Furthermore,we determined that the pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase(ClPFP1) in sugar metabolism pathway and GA biosynthesis enzyme GA20 oxidase(Cl GA20ox) could be phosphorylated by ClSnRK2.3 and thereby resulting in accelerated protein degradation in OE lines and finally led to low levels of sucrose and GA4. Besides that, ClSnRK2.3 phosphorylated homeodomain-leucine zipper protein(ClHAT1) and protected it from degradation to suppress the expression of the ABA biosynthesis gene 9’-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase 3(Cl NCED3). These results indicated that ClSnRK2.3 negatively regulated watermelon fruit ripening by manipulating the biosynthesis of sucrose, ABA and GA4. Altogether, these findings revealed a novel regulatory mechanism in non-climacteric fruit development and ripening. | Jinfang Wang Yanping Wang Yongtao Yu Jie Zhang Yi Ren Shouwei Tian Maoying Li Shengjin Liao Shaogui Guo Guoyi Gong Haiying Zhang Yong Xu | 2023 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2023,65,10: | 0 |
| 8 | Efficient generation of targeted point mutations in the Brassica oleracea var.botrytis genome via a modified CRISPR/Cas9 system显示文摘In this study,we used the modified CRISPR/Cas9 system to produce targeted point mutations in cauliflower.Acetolactate synthase(ALS)and Centromere-specific histone H3 variant(CENH3)genes were selected as the base-editing targets and hypocotyls of cauliflower were used as explants.For ALS gene,a C-to-T conversion in the Pro182 codon(CCT)can alter the encoded amino acid,likely resulting in herbicide resistance,and a C-to-T mutation in the Leu133 codon(CTT)in the CENH3 gene may produce a haploid inducer.Results indicated that the transformation efficiency was 1.8%–4.5%and the mutation efficiencies for the ALS and CENH3 genes were approximately 22%and 87%,respectively.The ALS mutant cauliflower showed strong herbicide resistance,with possible immediate implications for broadleaf weed control in cauliflower fields. | Guixiang Wang Mei Zong Di Liu Yage Wu Shouwei Tian Shuo Han Ning Guo Mengmeng Duan Liming Miao Fan Liu | 2022 | Horticultural Plant Journal2022,8,4: | 0 |
