Heterologous Expression of <i>Jatropha curcas Fatty Acyl-ACP Thioesterase A (JcFATA)</i> and <i>B (JcFATB)</i> Affects Fatty Acid Accumulation and Promotes Plant Growth and Develop... by Ying Liu, Jing Han, Zhijie Li, Zuojie Jiang, Liangfeng Luo, Yingzhe Zhang, Minghao Chen, Yuesheng Yang, Zhenlan Liu

“…Subcellular localization of the JcFATA-GFP and JcFATB-GFP fusion protein in <i>Arabidopsis</i> leaf protoplasts showed that both JcFATA and JcFATB localized in chloroplasts. Heterologous expression of <i>JcFATA</i> and <i>JcFATB</i> in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> individually generated transgenic plants with longer roots, stems and siliques, larger rosette leaves, and bigger seeds compared with those of the wild type, indicating the overall promotion effects of <i>JcFATA</i> and <i>JcFATB</i> on plant growth and development while <i>JcFATB</i> had a larger impact. …”

Foliar Spraying of Glycine Betaine Alleviated Growth Inhibition, Photoinhibition, and Oxidative Stress in Pepper (<i>Capsicum annuum</i> L.) Seedlings under Low Temperatures Combin... by Nenghui Li, Kaiguo Pu, Dongxia Ding, Yan Yang, Tianhang Niu, Jing Li, Jianming Xie

“…The pre-spraying of GB under LL stress also upregulated the gene expression of <i>CaSOD</i>, <i>CaPOD</i>, and <i>CaCAT</i>; increased the activity of the ROS-scavenging ability in the pepper leaves; and coordinately increased the SOD activity in the mitochondria, the POD activity in the mitochondria, chloroplasts, and cytosol, and the CAT activity in the cytosol, which improved the LL resistance of the pepper plants by reducing excess H₂O₂, O₂⁻, MDA, and soluble protein levels in the leaf cells, leading to reduced biological membrane damage. …”

Identification and Expression Analysis of the Ethylene Response Factor Gene Family in Tea Plant (<i>Camellia sinensis</i>) by Tao Zhang, Ju Cai, Sisi Wang, Litang Lv, Dandan Yuan, Xiaofang Zeng, Jianrong Li, Yan Li

“…Subcellular localization predicted that 77 members were in the nucleus, 8 were in the chloroplasts, and 5 were in the mitochondria. The promoter sequence of <i>CsERFs</i> was found to include not only cis-acting elements related to hormone regulation, such as gibberellin (41), methyl jasmonate (110), and abscisic acid (185), but also cis-acting elements involved in low-temperature response (56) and light response (22), indicating that <i>CsERFs</i> have a key role in plant growth and abiotic stress. …”
