  • Plants are inevitably affected by a series of adverse environments during their growth. It is necessary for them to quickly perceive and adapt to the environment. Ca2+ is an extremely important second messenger in organisms and plays a significant regulatory role in plant growth,development and response to stress. The calcium-sensing receptor(CAS)is a specific protein located on the thylakoid membrane,which regulates the intracellular Ca2+ response by sensing the change of extracellular Ca2+ concentration,thereby affecting a series of downstream signal activities and making plants respond to the external environment. In this paper,we summarized the discovery process,structure,location of CAS in plants,as well as its influence on stomata opening and closing,participation in photosynthesis,and its important role in regulating stress response,so as to provide references for further studies on the biological functions of CAS in regulating stress response in plants.

  • Phenolic compounds are the secondary metabolites in plants,which play important roles in antioxidation,anti-bacterial,stress resistance,etc. However,phenolic compounds are also the substrates of explant browning in tissue culture. Plant browning is a recalcitrant problem for plant tissue culture,and it severely affects woody plant. Phenol oxidation catalyzed by oxidases is the directly caused browning. In this paper,we summarized phenolic compounds synthesis and classification,metabolic enzymes,methods of identification,and how the phenolic compounds affect woody plant tissue culture at first. And then the methods of decreased or depressed plant browning were suggested. This paper could provide theoretical guidance for the woody plant tissue culture.

  • Flavonoids are important polyphenols for human diet and ornamental horticulture. Flavonoids attract attention for their wide range of biological activities and important biological functions. Uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases(UGT) catalyze the final step of flavonoid biosynthesis to form various glycoside derivatives. Recently,with the development of plant genomics,many flavonoid biosynthesis related UGTs were analyzed and identified. Here,research progress on plant UGTs involved in flavonoids glycosylation modification was summarized from biochemical and molecular biological points of view. Important evidence illustrating enzymatic activities of flavonoid biosynthesis related-UGTs,functional characterization,as well as bioengineering of flavonoids with key UGTs were listed,which may provide theoretical foundation for regulation on flavonoid biosynthesis in the future.

  • Daily light integral(DLI)is the total amount of photosynthetic light delivered to plants each day. In this paper,the effects of DLI on the seed germination,vegetative growth and reproductive growth of plants were discussed,thus providing reference and guidance for setting up proper DLI in plant production. Increasing DLI under low light conditions could promote the growth and development of plants. The germination rate of photoblastic seed was positively correlated with DLI. Appropriately increasing DLI could enhance the growth of root and shoot,increase plant biomass. During reproductive growth stage,increasing DLI could be conducive to flower bud differentiation and increase both fruit yield and quality.

  • Acta Horticulturae Sinica. 2019, 46(9): 1691-1700. DOI:doi:10.16420/j.issn.0513-353x.2019-0280
  • Abstract ( 108 ) HTML ( 343 ) PDF (741KB) ( 343 )    
  • Phytoplasmas are pathogenic microorganism belonging to the class Mollicutes. The phytoplasmas parasitize the phloem tissues of infected plant hosts and are transmitted by insect vectors. To date,the complete genome sequence of six phytoplasmas,and draft genome of nineteen phytoplasmas have been published. The phytoplasmas genomes are featured with low G + C content(19.3%–28.6%),lack of genes for numerous biosynthetic pathways,such as amino acid synthesis,fatty acid synthesis,the tricarboxylic acid cycle,oxidative phosphorylation,and pentose phosphate pathway. A large portion of phytoplasmas genome encodes potential mobile units,consisting of repeats that resemble composite transposable elements. Phytoplasmas have functional Sec(Signal sequences)-dependent pathway,secrete effector proteins into the cytoplasm of phloem sieve cells of the host plants. The most studied phytoplasma virulence effectors are SAP11,Tengu and Phyllogen. SAP11 and Tengu induce stem proliferation,dwarf,while Phyllogen induces the development of leaf-like flowers. The developmental symptoms of the host plant promoted the insect vectors colonization and reproduction,thus contribute to the phytoplasma transmission. The SAP11 interacts with TCP transcription factors to destabilize their functions. The SAP11 also antagonistically regulates the jasmine acid and auxin signaling pathway,leading to the proliferation of axillary meristems. Phyllogen interacts and degrades A and E class MADS-box transcription factors,which were involved in flower development. In the future,we will be able to sequence more and more phytoplasma genome by mega-genomic methods,and analyze the host selection mechanism. The combination of phenomics,metabonomics,proteomics,and transcriptomics techniques can be applied on the screening and identification of the phytoplasma virulence effectors,for a more comprehensive understanding of the phytoplasma pathogenic mechanism to provide valuable information for phytoplasma disease control.

  • Polyploid rootstocks have some specific and excellent traits such as dwarf,drought tolerance,salt tolerance and iron-deficiency tolerance. As being used as rootstock,polyploid could induce plants dwarf and enhance tolerance of trees to abiotic stress,such as drought,iron-deficiency,salt,heavy metal and chill. In citrus,cherry and apple,some polyploid rootstocks have been applied in production. Nonetheless,low fertility and genetic instability limit reproduction of polyploid rootstock. Although vegetative propagation,apomixes and sexual reproduction have been employed,polyploid rootstocks all have their own disadvantages,need improvements. Formation mechanisms of some specific traits of polyploid rootstocks have been researched,and these traits were concerned with their anatomical structure,expression of some stress resistance-related genes and metabolites. Abscisic acid(ABA)may take part in plant dwarfing regulation and plays an important role in drought tolerance of polyploid rootstock. In an overall view,application and researches of polyploid rootstock are both at the starting stage. In the subsequent processes,more new polyploid rootstocks should be bred,popularization and application should be speeded up,researches on reproduction methods and specific traits formation mechanisms should be reinforced.

  • Acta Horticulturae Sinica. 2019, 46(9): 1752-1764. DOI:10.16420/j.issn.0513-353x.2019-0462
  • Abstract ( 174 ) HTML ( 471 ) PDF (837KB) ( 471 )    
  • Glucosinolates are important secondary metabolites in cruciferous plants,and their derivatives and degradation productions play a special function in plant defense reaction,formation of special flavor and cancer resistance. The glucosinolate biosynthesis is complex,including side chain elongation of amino acids,formation of the core glucosinolate structure and secondary modi?cations of the amino acid side chain,involving BCATs,MAMs,CYP79s,CYP83s,AOPs and other gene families. With gradual revelation of metabolic mechanism of glucosinolate,the transcriptional regulation model has become a hot topic in metabolic mechanism research. In this paper,three important transcription factors involved in glucosinolate metabolism were summarized,among which MYB transcription factors(MYB28,MYB29,MYB76,MYB34,MYB51,and MYB122)played major regulatory roles in glucosinolates biosynthesis. And MYB28 and MYB34 are the major genes on regulating aliphatic and indole glucosinolates biosynthesis,respectively. bHLH transcription factors (MYC2,MYC3 and MYC4) have regulating function on glucosinolate biosynthesis by conjunction with MYB transcription factors. WRKY transcription factors(WRKY18 and WRKY40)synergize with CYP81F2 to negatively regulate the biosynthesis of indole glucosinolates. In addition,the responsion of transcription factors to exogenous abiotic or biotic stimulation,and the regulation mechanism on glucosinolate biosynthesis are briefly introduced in this paper. The research on transcription factors can further enrich regulatory mechanism of glucosinolate biosynthesis and provide new idea and method for molecular breeding,high-quality cultivation,biological control of cruciferous vegetable crops with high glucosinolate content.

  • JIANG Hong,WANG Yi,and BI Yang*
  • Acta Horticulturae Sinica. 2019, 46(9): 1842-1852. DOI:10.16420/j.issn.0513-353x.2019-0358
  • Abstract ( 228 ) HTML ( 407 ) PDF (1331KB) ( 407 )    
  • The healing process of potato tubers consists of the formation of‘closing layers’and ‘wound periderm’,the former refers to the suberization of parenchyma cells neighboring wound site,and the later refers to the suberized phellem cells beneath the closing layers. As the primary barrier of suberization,‘closing layers’inhibit the pathogen infection,however,a persistent protective structure against pathogens on wounded tubers mainly depends on‘wound periderm’. Various metabolic pathways are involved in the healing of tubers,and among them,reactive oxygen species,phenylpropanoid and fatty acid metabolism play essential roles in the formation of healing tissues. The potato cultivars and tuber maturity are main factors affecting wound healing. Additionally,temperature,relative humidity,light radiation,O2 and CO2 concentration,wounding severity,and chemicals affect the wound healing of tubers.
