Comparative Transcriptomics Reveals Divergent Expression Patterns Related to Carbon Metabolism, Transport, and Regulation in Juvenile Stems of Four Fagaceae Species

Xiyuan Yang, Liwen Wu, Yangdong Wang

Background/Objectives: We compared juvenile whole-stem transcriptomes of Quercus glauca, Quercus acutissima, Quercus fabri, and Castanopsis sclerophylla to examine carbon metabolism and transport. Methods: Three seedlings per species were sampled in one session. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data were analyzed using differential-expression analysis, direction-specific …

A Reference-Free K-mer Framework Enhances Genomic Prediction in Highly Heterozygous Woody Species: A Case Study in Litsea cubeba

Fuchuan Han, Ming Gao, Yunxiao Zhao, Yang Yang et autres

Abstract Litsea cubeba, an economically important woody species in the Lauraceae, is widely cultivated for spice and essential oil production. Core agronomic traits, particularly fruit morphology and yield per plant, directly determine its commercial value. However, genetic improvement of complex traits in …

VmUGT88A65 and VmUGT88A66 orchestrate root development and pathogen resistance in tung tree via flavonoid and lignin glycosylation

Yang Yang, Jia Wang, Fuchuan Han, Ming Gao et autres

Vernicia montana possesses a robust root system and exhibits high resistance to the soil-borne fungus Fusarium. The molecular mechanism underlying this resistance remains largely elusive. Here, we identified the species-specific UDP-glucosyltransferase coding genes VmUGT88A65 and VmUGT88A66 in V. montana through evolutionary analysis. …
