Additionally, many free‐ending veins were observed in bip0663 and ‘Lukullus’ leaves , which can promote sugar export . Leaf veins, similar to leaf shapes, also have a remarkable diversity in architecture within and across species. Numerous studies on mutant phenotypes have shown auxin signaling networks play an important role in patterning leaf vasculature . Polar…

Seventeen of these modules had significant Gene Ontology enrichment with each module consisting of transcript abundance pat- terns either predominately regulated by cis- or trans- eQTL . To determine which IL’s are important for module regulation, the median transcript abundance value of module genes for each IL was calculated and used to identify IL’s with significantly altered…

Exploitation of different food resources during periods of resource scarcity, as well differences in foraging heights, may allow these closely related primates to live in sympatry. Tutin and Fenandez compared the diets of sympatric chimpanzees and gorillas at Lope, Gabon and found a high degree of dietary overlap, particularly for fruits. Importantly, they found that…

Total lipid content in the seeds was 18.1–21.5% and 0.2–0.3% in the non-seed fraction. Punicic acid was the predominant fatty acid in the seed lipids and linoleic acid was the major fatty acid in the non-seed fraction. All the varieties had the same saturated/unsaturated fatty acids ratio of 0.1 for the seeds and 0.5 for…

Organized by Allison Carruth and Rachel Lee,“The Cultural Politics of Seeds” symposium will look at how gender, ethnicity, and race shape contemporary cultural and political movements related to seeds. Conceived as a forum for integrating research, policy, activism, and art practice, this event will include day-long event with 3 panels and two keynote talks and…

Tomato suffers from PCI: storage at 0–12 °C followed by returning the fruit to room temperature can lead to a range of symptoms, varying from mild e.g. lack of favor and poor texture, to severe i.e. development of surface lesions, discoloration, accelerated softening, failure of fruit to ripen and higher susceptibility to post harvest decay. Numerous…

In Arabidopsis leaves infected with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae, the ET response factors EIN3 and EIL1 appear to negatively regulate plant immune responses by disrupting the pathogen-induced accumulation of SA . Thus, the decrease in LeEIL4 and LeEIL43 expression during fruit infection may represent a plant strategy to modulate the intensity of the ET…

As for our third question regarding the effect of species removal on plant reproductive success, the loss of the migratory hummingbird is associated with negative effects in California and positive effects in Mexico . In the case of California, Ribes sanguineum shows decreased fruit set after the loss of the migratory hummingbird , and all…

Tomato fruit synthesizes flavor and nutrients during its ripening, and ripening process is regulated by ripening-related TFs, such as AP2a and Rin TFs, so these TFs may also participate in the regulation of flavor synthesis. The majority of the amino acids were present at significantly lower levels in the AP2i fruits than in the wild type,…

A PCC analysis was performed between the contents of the most abundant sugars, Suc, Glu, Fru, Sor, and G6P , and the expression levels of the 5727 DEGs throughout S2 and S4-II stages, in pairwise PCC comparisons . The combination of defined GO terms and known sugar metabolism-related genes resulted in 28 sugar metabolism-associated genes…
