Two experiments using a 4 × 2 factorial scheme under a randomized block design included a salt-tolerant (M 8372) and salt-sensitive (M-Soy 8222) soybean cultivar.

Salt stress reduced the chlorophyll and carotenoid contents and photosynthetic rate and increased Na+ accumulation and lipid peroxidation in both cultivars. However, AsA application via the roots and leaves in M 8372 and leaves in M-Soy 8222 limited the adverse effects of salt stress by increasing the antioxidant activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11), and guaiacol peroxidase (GPOX, EC 1.11.1.7), as well as proline and endogenous AsA levels, thereby reducing Na+ accumulation in the tissues.

Numerous studies have identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with grain quality. However, to date, no meta-analysis of QTLs for rice cooking and eating quality traits has been reported. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of QTLs to identify consensus QTLs located at the same locus across multiple studies, aiming to detect significant meta-QTLs (MQTLs) that can be targeted for marker-assisted selection (MAS) applications. In this study, 26 MQTLs were identified from 193 initial independent QTLs related to grain quality traits, including amylose content (AC), gel consistency (GC), and gelatinization temperature (GT). The substantial reduction in the confidence interval of the initial QTLs compared to the MQTLs (from 20.91 to 7.21 cM) led to the identification of both annotated and putative candidate genes associated with the traits. The highest number of MQTLs (eight) was found on chromosome 6. The phenotypic variance explained (R2) by the MQTLs ranged from 2 to 51%, with an average of 19%. Out of the 561 candidate genes identified within the MQTLs, 461 had available expression data. Analysis of their expression patterns in various rice tissues showed that 181 genes had an expression value (FPKM) greater than 10 in at least one tissue, making them promising candidate genes. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of these promising genes highlights their significant roles in various biological processes in rice.

This study investigates the mechanisms underlying russet formation in the pear exocarp, focusing on the ‘Dangshansuli variety’ with yellow-green skin and its russeted mutant ‘Dangshanjinsu variety’ through proteomic analysis. The results revealed numerous differentially expressed proteins associated with the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, suberin and wax synthesis pathways, and sesquiterpenoid and triterpenoid synthesis pathways. Specifically, six PbSQE genes, encoding squalene epoxidases involved in triterpenoid synthesis, showed distinct expression patterns in the exocarp of ‘Dangshansuli variety’ and ‘Dangshanjinsu variety’ during fruit development. Notably, PbSQE4, PbSQE5, and PbSQE6 displayed a similar expression pattern across the three stages, with lower expressions observed at 25 and 175 DAFB but higher expressions at 100 DAFB in the exocarp of ‘Dangshanjinsu variety’. The expression of PbSQE3 in the exocarp of ‘Dangshanjinsu variety’ at 100 and 175 DAFB was significantly lower than that in ‘Dangshansuli variety’. Based on this, selected PbSQE3 and PbSQE6 to stably transform Arabidopsis thaliana.
