“…Furthermore, an enrichment test found gene annotations for hormone meta olism significantly more represented in DEGs. These results suggest that the NSd fr character is caused by perturbations to the expression of genes that encode for functio involved in the transcriptional regulation and signal transduction events important f fruit shedding to take place, in particular, those related to hormones, as highlighted previous transcriptome studies [6,[33][34][35][36][37][38]. Notably, several genes with downregulat profiles encode for functions that involve plant hormone transcriptional regulation, s naling and homeostasis, including those for ethylene (ET), jasmonic acid (JA), abscisic ac (ABA), cytokinin (CK), salicylic acid (SA) and auxin (Figure 5).…”

The developmentally programmed loss of a plant organ is called abscission. This process is characterized by the ultimate separation of adjacent cells in the abscission zone (AZ). The discovery of an American oil palm (Elaeis oleifera) variant that does not shed its has allowed for the study of the mechanisms of ripe fruit abscission in this species. A comparative transcriptome analysis was performed to compare the fruit AZs of the non-shedding E. oleifera variant to an individual of the same progeny that sheds its ripe fruit normally. The study provides evidence for widespread perturbation to gene expression in the AZ of the non-shedding variant, compared to the normal fruit-shedding control, and offers insight into abscission-related functions. Beyond the genes with known or suspected roles during organ abscission or indehiscence that were identified, a list of genes with hormone-related functions, including ethylene, jasmonic acid, abscisic acid, cytokinin and salicylic acid, in addition to reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism, transcriptional responses and signaling pathways, was compiled. The results also allowed a comparison between the ripe fruit abscission processes of the African and American oil palm species at the molecular level and revealed commonalities with environmental stress pathways.

“…In addition to the stress response and plant growth, phytohormones can also regulate leaf abscission [93,94], which were observed in M. sinostellata in this study (Figure 1A). The increase in ethylene content can promote leaf abscission [95,96]. 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is the direct precursors of ethylene, and its content is positively correlated with ethylene [97].…”

The endangered plant Magnolia sinostellata largely grows in the understory of forest and suffers light deficiency stress. It is generally recognized that the interaction between plant development and growth environment is intricate; however, the underlying molecular regulatory pathways by which light deficiency induced growth inhibition remain obscure. To understand the physiological and molecular mechanisms of plant response to shading caused light deficiency, we performed photosynthesis efficiency analysis and comparative transcriptome analysis in M. sinostellata leaves, which were subjected to shading treatments of different durations. Most of the parameters relevant to the photosynthesis systems were altered as the result of light deficiency treatment, which was also confirmed by the transcriptome analysis. Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses illustrated that most of differential expression genes (DEGs) were enriched in photosynthesis-related pathways. Light deficiency may have accelerated leaf abscission by impacting the photosynthesis efficiency and hormone signaling. Further, shading could repress the expression of stress responsive transcription factors and R-genes, which confer disease resistance. This study provides valuable insight into light deficiency-induced molecular regulatory pathways in M. sinostellata and offers a theoretical basis for conservation and cultivation improvements of Magnolia and other endangered woody plants.

“…Besides, an increased accumulation of phenolic compounds has been found to be related to exposure to ethylene in lettuce, asparagus, and parsnip during storage [111]. It is not currently known whether C. cyanus, D. carthusianorum, L. vulgare, P. veris, and R. canina produce ethylene except for the related species of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) and rose (Rosa bourboniana and Rosa hybrida), which are ethylene-sensitive [125][126][127]. Further investigations on this hormone production by edible flowers are thus needed to understand if and how it can affect phenolic dynamics during storage.…”

In this study, 17 edible flowers (Allium ursinum L., Borago officinalis L., Calendula officinalis L., Centaurea cyanus L., Cichorium intybus L., Dianthus carthusianorum L., Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Leucanthemum vulgare (Vaill.) Lam., Paeonia officinalis L., Primula veris L., Robinia pseudoacacia L., Rosa canina L., Rosa pendulina L., Salvia pratensis L., Sambucus nigra L., Taraxacum officinale Weber, and Tropaeolum majus L.) were investigated to assess their sensory profile at harvest and their shelf life and bioactive compounds dynamics during cold storage. The emerging market of edible flowers lacks this information; thus, the characteristics and requirements of different flower species were provided. In detail, a quantitative descriptive analysis was performed by trained panelists at flower harvest, evaluating 10 sensory descriptors (intensity of sweet, sour, bitter, salt, smell, specific flower aroma, and herbaceous aroma; spiciness, chewiness, and astringency). Flower visual quality, biologically active compounds content (total polyphenols and anthocyanins), and antioxidant activity (FRAP, DPPH, and ABTS assays) were evaluated both at harvest and during storage at 4 °C for 14 days to assess their shelf life. Generally, species had a wide range of peculiar sensory and phytochemical characteristics at harvest, as well as shelf life and bioactive compounds dynamics during postharvest. A strong aroma was indicated for A. ursinum, D. carthusianorum, L. angustifolia, and L. vulgare, while B. officinalis and C. officinalis had very low values for all aroma and taste descriptors, resulting in poor sensory profiles. At harvest, P. officinalis, R. canina, and R. pendulina exhibited the highest values of polyphenols (884–1271 mg of gallic acid equivalents per 100 g) and antioxidant activity (204–274 mmol Fe2+/kg for FRAP, 132–232 and 43–58 µmol of Trolox equivalent per g for DPPH and ABTS). The species with the longest shelf life in terms of acceptable visual quality was R. pendulina (14 days), followed by R. canina (10 days). All the other species lasted seven days, except for C. intybus and T. officinale that did not reach day 3. During cold storage, the content of bioactive compounds differed, as total phenolics followed a different trend according to the species and anthocyanins remained almost unaltered for 14 days. Considering antioxidant activity, ABTS values were the least variable, varying in only four species (A. ursinum, D. carthusianorum, L. angustifolia, and P. officinalis), while both DPPH and FRAP values varied in eight species. Taken together, the knowledge of sensory profiles, phytochemical characteristics and shelf life can provide information to select suitable species for the emerging edible flower market.
