“…Most genes identified in this analysis have documented roles in respective tissue development. For example, pectinesterases have been reported to be integral to the process of petal development during flowering (Shirasawa et al, 2022). Similarly, seed storage proteins are expected to be over-represented in seed tissue.…”

As a fast-growing legume species, moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia) has a unique habit of sustaining in conditions of higher temperatures and drought. This grain legume is also valued for it seeds which have one of the highest contents of proteins amongst all grain legumes. This plant can be a rich source of genomic resources, which can be applied to improve abiotic stress response in allied grain legumes and also help understand the biological processes governing their overall development. Here we generate ade novogenome assembly ofVigna aconitifoliausing PacBio High-Fidelity reads and Hi-C sequencing data, with a total size of 409 Mb and contig N50 of more than 30Mb. We also annotated the genome for repeat sequences, found that the moth bean genome comprises of about 54% of repetitive sequences, and predicted 36950 protein-coding genes. Using the available RNA-Seq data for moth bean, we have developed a differential expression profile for various tissues of moth bean using the whole genome as a reference and identified simple sequence repeats that could be developed into viable molecular markers. This nascent study will provide insight into the identification of agronomically important genes and accelerate the genetic improvement of moth bean as well as other legume crops.

“…Functional responses to these climatic changes, however, are complex and difficult to demonstrate against the background noise of ecological variation. Because genes fundamentally drive all these mechanisms, transcriptomics might offer a tool towards identifying patterns and to advance our understanding of the mechanisms of response to climate change [29][30][31][32][33].…”

Transcriptomics provides a versatile tool for ecological monitoring. Here, through genome-guided profiling of transcripts mapping to 33 042 gene models, expression differences can be discerned among multi-year and seasonal leaf samples collected from American beech trees at two latitudinally separated sites. Despite a bottleneck due to post-Columbian deforestation, the single nucleotide polymorphism-based population genetic background analysis has yielded sufficient variation to account for differences between populations and among individuals. Our expression analyses during spring-summer and summer-autumn transitions for two consecutive years involved 4197 differentially expressed protein coding genes. Using Populus orthologues we reconstructed a protein-protein interactome representing leaf physiological states of trees during the seasonal transitions. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed gene ontology terms that highlight molecular functions and biological processes possibly influenced by abiotic forcings such as recovery from drought and response to excess precipitation. Further, based on 324 co-regulated transcripts, we focused on a subset of GO terms that could be putatively attributed to late spring phenological shifts. Our conservative results indicate that extended transcriptome-based monitoring of forests can capture diverse ranges of responses including air quality, chronic disease, as well as herbivore outbreaks that require activation and/or downregulation of genes collectively tuning reaction norms maintaining the survival of long living trees such as the American beech.

The Chinese flowering cherry (Cerasus serrulata), an ornamental tree with established medicinal values, is observed to suffer from leaf blight within Xi’an’s greenbelts. This disease threatens both the plant’s growth and its ornamental appeal. In this study, 26 isolates were obtained from plants with typical leaf blight, and only 3 isolates (XA-10, XA-15, and XA-18) were found to be pathogenic, causing similar symptoms on the leaves of the host plant. Based on sequence alignment, the ITS and LSU sequences of the three selected isolates were consistent, respectively. Following morphological and molecular analyses, the three selected isolates were further identified as Mortierella alpina. The three selected isolates exhibited similar morphological characteristics, including wavy colonies with dense, milky-white aerial mycelia on PDA medium. Therefore, isolate XA-10 was used as a representative strain for subsequent experiments. The representative strain XA-10 was found to exhibit optimal growth at a temperature of 30 °C and a pH of 7.0. Host range infection tests further revealed that the representative strain XA-10 could also inflict comparable disease symptoms on both the leaves and fruits of three different Rosaceae species (Prunus persica, Pyrus bretschneideri, and Prunus salicina). This study reveals, for the first time, the causative agent of leaf blight disease affecting the Chinese flowering cherry. This provides a deeper understanding of the biology and etiology of M. alpina. This study lays a solid foundation for the sustainable control and management of leaf blight disease in the Chinese flowering cherry.
