Abstract Hot pepper (Capsicum annuum var. conoides) is a significant vegetable that is widely cultivated around the world. Currently, global climate change has caused frequent severe weather events, and waterlogging stress harms the pepper industry by affecting the planting period, growth conditions, and disease susceptibility. The gene CaABI3/VP1-1 could improve pepper waterlogging tolerance. In order to explore the upstream regulatory mechanism of CaABI3/VP1-1, a high-quality standardized yeast hybrid library was successfully constructed for yeast one-, two-, and three-hybrid screening using pepper ‘ZHC2’ as the experimental material, with a library recombinant efficiency of up to 100%. The length of inserted… More >

Abstract Four different ratios of river sand, ceramic pellets, vermiculite and perlite (1:1), and field soil were selected as the substrates in this experiment, and four gradient levels of root waterlogging, half waterlogging, full waterlogging and normal were set to investigate the effects of different gradients of waterlogging stress on the root morphology of Taxus chinensis var. mairei seedlings under different substrates. In this study, the root anatomical structure of Taxus chinensis var. mairei under different waterlogging stress was observed by the paraffin section method. The roots of T. chinensis var. mairei were diarch, with no pith and resin canals. There… More >
