“…However, after the cotyledons have unfolded, the PEF treatment significantly increases the enzyme activity, indicating that PEF treatment can accelerate carbohydrate metabolism and promote growth. These results also indicate that, during the germination of Scutellaria baicalensis seeds, starch and sugar metabolism are the main processes [27].…”

To explore the effects of pulsed electric field treatment on the germination of Scutellaria baicalensis seeds and the growth of seedlings, this study used the response surface methodology to design the working parameters of the pulsed electric field and treated and cultured Scutellaria baicalensis seeds. The results showed that the pulsed electric field treatment was beneficial for the germination of Scutellaria baicalensis seeds, improving the metabolic activity and stress resistance of seedlings. When the pulsed electric field treatment’s parameters were 0.5 kV·cm−1, 120 μs, and 99 pulses, the germination potential of seeds was significantly increased by 29.25% and the germination index significantly increased by 20.65%, compared to the control. From 5th to 15th day, the activities of SOD, POD, and α-amylase in the seedlings, and the contents of Pro, soluble sugars, and soluble proteins were significantly increased, compared to the control. This study provides a theoretical basis for improving the germination and seedling growth of medicinal herbs such as Scutellaria baicalensis and their practical application in production.

“…Several mapping populations have been used in modern plant breeding, such as recombinant inbred lines (RILs) [4][5][6] and F2 populations [7,8]. RILs have been widely used for mapping QTLs associated with traits such as yield in wheat [9] and leaf type in soybean [10], while F2 populations have also been used in the study of yield in rice [11] and fruit quality traits in pomegranate [12].…”

Melon is an economically important crop with widely diverse fruit morphology and ripening characteristics. Its diploid sequenced genome and multiple genomic tools make this species suitable to study the genetic architecture of fruit traits. With the development of this introgression line population of the elite varieties ‘Piel de Sapo’ and ‘Védrantais’, we present a powerful tool to study fruit morphology and ripening traits that can also facilitate characterization or pyramidation of QTLs in inodorous melon types. The population consists of 36 lines covering almost 98% of the melon genome, with an average of three introgressions per chromosome and segregating for multiple fruit traits: morphology, ripening and quality. High variability in fruit morphology was found within the population, with 24 QTLs affecting six different traits, confirming previously reported QTLs and two newly detected QTLs, FLQW5.1 and FWQW7.1. We detected 20 QTLs affecting fruit ripening traits, six of them reported for the first time, two affecting the timing of yellowing of the rind (EYELLQW1.1 and EYELLQW8.1) and four at the end of chromosome 8 affecting aroma, abscission and harvest date (EAROQW8.3, EALFQW8.3, ABSQW8.3 and HARQW8.3). We also confirmed the location of several QTLs, such as fruit-quality-related QTLs affecting rind and flesh appearance and flesh firmness.

“…Seed germination and dormancy are two complex and closely related physiological processes that are mainly regulated by qualitative genes (Xiang et al, 2014 ; Sato et al, 2016 ; Xu et al, 2020 ). The location of genes controlling seed germination traits has been extensively studied in other crops, with significant discoveries made in rice (Liu et al, 2016 ), wheat (Zheljazkov et al, 2021 ), and maize (Zhang et al, 2022a ). In terms of Cucumis melo L., a QTL analysis for the seed size trait has already been conducted (Zhang et al, 2022b ).…”

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) seed germination significantly affects its economic value. Cultivation of melon varieties with high germination ability and seedling vigor is beneficial in large-scale melon propagation. In this study, two melon genotypes differing in their germination ability, P5 with low and P10 with high germination ability, were used to identify the optimal seed germination conditions by evaluating different water immersion times and germination temperatures. The germination rate of the P5 and P10 parental genotypes and their segregating population, consisting of 358 F2:3 families, were evaluated for 2 years to identify their genetic basis. QTL analysis was performed on a high-density genetic map constructed using specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq). The germination rate of F1 and F2 populations treated with water immersion for 8 h at 28°C and measured at 48 h showed a normal distribution Genetic mapping carried out using the high-density genetic map revealed eight QTLs in chromosomes 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8 that control melon seed germination, of which 2020/2021-qsg5.1 was consistently significant in both years of experimentation. qsg5.1 explained 15.13% of the phenotypic variance with a LOD of 4.1. To fine map the candidate region of qsg5.1, eight cleaved amplified polymorphism sequence (CAPS) markers were used to construct a genetic map with another 421 F2 individual fruits. The major QTL qsg5.1 was located between SNP53 and SNP54 within a 55.96 Kb interval containing four genes. qRT-PCR gene expression analysis of the candidate genes showed that MELO3C031219.2 (Phosphorus transporter PHO-5) exhibited a significant difference in gene expression between the parental lines at 24, 32, and 48 h after germination, potentially being the underlying gene controlling melon seed germination. These results provide a theoretical basis for the molecular mechanisms controlling melon seed germination and can practically contribute to further improving germination to increase the propagation efficiency of commercial melon cultivars.
