| description | Root vegetables: tapping into root thickening for improved yields An investigation into the proteins and genes responsible for taproot thickening in radish could help improve yields of root vegetables. The fleshy taproot of vegetables like radish are vital to food supplies worldwide, but the precise mechanisms behind healthy, high quality taproot formation, and thickening are unclear. Liwang Liu at Nanjing Agricultural University in Nanjing, China, and co-workers have identified several functional proteins and corresponding genes responsible for cell division in taproot growth and thickening. The team analyzed changes in protein expression at three different developmental stages of radish taproot. They identified 1862 differentially expressed proteins involved in several processes including sugar and starch metabolism, hormone signaling, and biosynthesis of metabolites. Their results provide fundamental insights into the regulation of taproot thickening in radish and could be expanded to other root vegetables. |
