• The genus Camellia comprises a vast number of species that are widely distributed across various regions. The frequent inter-specific hybridization results in，controversial and unstable taxonomy and systematics among different species，which also poses a greater challenge for infrageneric classification within Camellia. Based on morphological features，Sealy，Chang Hongda，and Min Tianlu have established three classification systems for species in the genus. However they hold different opinions on the taxonomic significance of each character. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the classification and phylogenetic research progress on the Camellia genus from a global perspectives. Pertinent research on phylogeny reconstruction of Camellia genus based on various marker types were summarized，appraise the merits and demerits of these markers in elucidating phylogenetic relationships，and propose future research directions to address current classification issues. The paper provides valuable insights into reconstructing the systematic relationship within the Camellia genus and resolving classification disputes.

• Abstract ( 150 ) HTML ( 124 ) PDF (1414KB) ( 124 ) 　　　

• The content of citric acid in tomato fruit is one of the key factors affecting the flavor. Due to the citric acid content is greatly affected by the environment few genes related with citric acid content have been cloned. In this study，six QTLs，which control the content of citric acid，were identified using a recombinant inbred lines generated by crossing modern cultivated tomato‘Moneymaker’and S. pimpinellifolium‘PI365967’. Among them，q-CA6.1，a major QTL located at the terminal of chromosome 6，contributed 19.28% variation of citric acid content. To map qCA6.1 gene a BC₂F₂ mapping population was obtained by crossing two RILs with significant difference in citric acid content and with similar genotype and the difference only around the qCA6.1 region. The qCA6.1 gene were narrowed into 342 kb region including 47 gene. The development of linked molecular markers provides technical support for improving citric acid content in tomato breeding.

• Abstract ( 136 ) HTML ( 111 ) PDF (3176KB) ( 111 ) 　　　

• In this study，the complete open reading frame sequence of CsChlH gene encoded 1 382 amino acid residues was cloned in tea plant（NCBI accession number：ON256194）. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that CsChlH was closely related to AcChlH of kiwifruit. Promoter cloning and sequence analysis showed that CsChlH gene may respond to multiple signals such as light，drought，heat shock，low temperature，ABA，ethylene，and may regulate the metabolism of chlorophylls，flavonoids，sugars，as well as the development of chloroplast，mesophyll，guard cell and other organs. CsChlH protein was localized in the chloroplast. Tissue-specific expression analysis found that CsChlH gene was highly expressed in the chlorophyll-rich source tissues but lowly expressed in the chlorophyll-deficient sink tissues. The expression of CsChlH gene was down-regulated in response to long-term low light conditions，cold and drought stresses，while up-regulated by short-term ABA，ethylene and long-term heat stress. The results revealed that CsChlH gene played a vital role in the regulation of chlorophyll metabolism and stress resistance of tea plant.

• WANG Yuhang, LI Dou, WANG Chunheng, JIN Xin, CHENG Yajuan, DAI Zibo, FENG Lidan, YANG Jiangshan
• Acta Horticulturae Sinica. 2024, 51(1): 103-120. DOI:10.16420/j.issn.0513-353x.2022-1214
• Abstract ( 153 ) HTML ( 114 ) PDF (2250KB) ( 114 ) 　　　

• The 12-year-old of‘Red Globe’grapes were treated with DL-4-chlorophenylalanine（CPA，200 μmol · L^-1，melatonin synthesis inhibitor），50–200 μmol · L^-1 melatonin（MT）and distilled water（control），respectively，by foliar spraying at early June（22 d of leaf age）. The sprays were applied five times with an interval of 30 d. The leaf chlorophyll content，reactive oxygen species levels，superoxide dismutase（SOD），peroxidase（POD），catalase（CAT），and ascorbic acid–glutathione（AsA–GSH）cycle enzyme activities in chloroplast，mitochondrial，and cytosolic fractions were measured periodically. The results showed that the content of chlorophyll rapidly decreased，reactive oxygen species levels in each subcellular fraction gradually increased，and the activity of antioxidant enzymes and AsA–GSH cycle enzyme gradually decreased at 115 d of leaf development. Among subcellular fractions，the $\mathrm{O}_{2}^{\overline{·}}$ level was highest in the chloroplasts and the H₂O₂ level was highest in the cytosol during leaf senescence. 150 μmol · L^-1 MT treatment significantly decreased the $\mathrm{O}_{2}^{\overline{·}}$ and H₂O₂ levels，while the activities of SOD，POD，and CAT were significantly increased in each subcellular fraction. Meanwhile，the MT treatment at 150 μmol · L^-1 significantly increased the activities of ascorbate peroxidase（APX），ascorbate oxidase （AAO），dehydroascorbate reductase（DHAR），monodehydroascorbate reductase（MDHAR），and glutathione reductase（GR）in each subcellular fraction，leading to a significant increase in AsA，DHA and GSH contents，as well as the contents of chlorophyll a，chlorophyll b，and carotenoid in grape leaves. As a result，the senescence process of leaves was delayed. On the contrary，the CPA treatment inhibited the activities of antioxidant enzymes and AsA–GSH cycle enzyme in each subcellular fraction，and the reactive oxygen species levels in each subcellular fraction were increased and the chlorophyll content decreased. In summary，exogenous MT increases the AsA and GSH contents in leaf subcellular fractions by increasing SOD，POD，CAT and AsA–GSH cycle enzyme activities，and thus enhances the antioxidant capacity of leaves，which in turn effectively scavenges ROS，resulting in delaying the leaf senescence in grape.

• Effect of Boron Deficiency on the Root Growth and Mitochondrial Function of Trifoliate Orange Seedlings
• JIN Tian, XU Yuemei, KUANG Guanling, LIU Guidong
• Acta Horticulturae Sinica. 2024, 51(1): 121-132. DOI:10.16420/j.issn.0513-353x.2022-1116
• Abstract ( 86 ) HTML ( 86 ) PDF (2445KB) ( 86 ) 　　　

• The aim of this study was to clarify the mechanism of boron（B）deficiency on the root injury of trifoliate orange[Poncirus trifoliata（L.）Raf.]seedlings. Trifoliate orange seedlings were incubated in nutrient solution containing different levels of B（0 and 10 μmol · L^-1）of which 0 μmol · L^-1 was considered as deficient B and 10 μmol · L^-1 was considered as control. Root growth parameters，mitochondrial reactive oxygen species metabolism，antioxidant enzyme activities，and mitochondrial function and ultrastructure were measured in this study. The results showed that B deficiency treatment inhibited root growth and activity，and the total root length，root surface area，root volume，average root diameter and biomass decreased significantly. Boron deficiency treatment increased the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide（H₂O₂）and malondialdehyde（MDA）but significantly decreased superoxide dismutase （SOD），peroxidase（POD）and catalase（CAT）activities in root mitochondria. Boron deficiency treatment also reduced the change of mitochondrial membrane absorbance，indicating that the openness of mitochondrial permeability transition pore was increased. Boron deficiency treatment decreased mitochondrial membrane fluidity，membrane potential and cytochrome c/a，and significantly reduced ATP synthesis due to impaired mitochondrial function. The transmission electron microscopy results showed that the root system’s mitochondrial structure was damaged due to B deficiency treatment，causing the reduced mitochondrial crest and the occurrence of cavitation. In summary，B deficiency treatment significantly inhibits the growth and development of trifoliate orange seedlings，and its mechanism may be related to the damage of mitochondrial structure and function.

• Abstract ( 136 ) HTML ( 113 ) PDF (3026KB) ( 113 ) 　　　

• Using high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry extensively targeted metabolomics，garlic leaves metabolic components were detected and analyzed by principal component analysis，orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis，cluster analysis，enrichment analysis and correlation analysis. As a result，a total of 743 metabolites in 23 classes were identified，313 up-regulated and 430 down-regulated metabolites，with 134 differential metabolites，accounting for 18.03% of the overall metabolites. The highest number of up- and down-regulated differential metabolites were flavone，phenylpropanoids，flavonol，flavonoid，nucleotide and derivatives，amino acid and derivatives，carbohydrates，organic acid and derivatives，which were mainly enriched in the flavone and flavonol biosynthesis. The number of different metabolites of flavonoids in the leaves of garlic sprout after drought stress was higher and up-regulated. The metabolic pathways of garlic flavonoids were analyzed，and caffeate acid and tricin O-malonylhexoside were the most up-regulated metabolites. It was speculated that the increase of flavone and phenylpropanoids under drought stress significantly improved the drought resistance of garlic.

• To evaluate the potential of Bacillus velezensis HY19 volatile organic compounds（VOCs）as a citrus fruit preservative，the suppression of HY19 and its VOCs on the main pathogens（Penicillium italicum and P. digitatum）of postharvest diseases of citrus fruit was studied through culture experiments in confrontation and bipartite plate. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of antifungal active substances in VOCs was conducted with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（GC-MS）. And the control efficiency of VOCs on post-harvest diseases of citrus fruit was studied through artificial inoculation tests and storage experiments at room temperature. The results showed that strain HY19 and its VOCs significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of P. italicum and P. digitatum. Eighteen antifungal substances were found in the VOCs，including 2-tridecanone，dibutyl phthalate，1-nonanol，benzoic acid，etc. The VOCs induced the activities of defense enzymes（SOD and POD）in citrus fruit peels，decreased the cell membrane permeability and malondialdehyde content，reduced the damage of pathogens to the peels，and improved the resistance of peels to diseases. The control efficacies of the VOCs against blue mold and green mold reached 59.65% and 64.11%，respectively. After 15 and 30 d of citrus fruit storage at room temperature，the VOCs considerably reduced the decay rate of citrus fruit，with the preservative efficacies of 57.04%（15 d）and 58.07%（30 d），respectively，and had no influence on fruit quality. In summary，B. velezensis HY19 had the potential to be developed as a preservative for postharvest citrus fruit.

• Cymbidium mosaic virus（CymMV）is a highly destructive plant pathogen that inflicts significant losses on orchid production. This study investigates the genetic variability and adaptive evolution of CymMV. The coat protein（CP）gene of 16 CymMV isolates from Dendrobium nobile was sequenced and analyzed alongside published CP sequences of 52 CymMV isolates from various host plants in China. Analysis reveals a substantial genetic diversity within the CP gene，with an overall nucleotide diversity of 0.039 and a haplotype diversity of 0.992. AMOVA tests demonstrate that the molecular variation among individuals accounts for 71.72% of the total variation of CymMV. Population structure analysis classifies CymMV into two distinct clusters. Cluster 1 exclusively consists of CymMV isolates from Cymbidium ensifolium，while Cluster 2 encompasses CymMV isolates from multiple host species，yet isolates from the same host species tend to form subclusters. Furthermore，a robust association between the phylogeny and host species of CymMV is revealed through phylogeny-trait association analysis. Overall，the findings of this study indicate that the genetic variation of CymMV is specific to its host species，suggesting that its evolution is primarily driven by selection pressures imposed by its hosts.
