litchi chinensis/atrophy

A total of 100 SSR sequences were isolated and cloned by means of SAM (Selectively Amplified Microsatellite)techniques and another one was obtained by searching the NCBI and EMBL databases. There were 89 SSR sequences used for design of special primers. As a result, the primers were designed at 82

Among the 5 tested litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) cultivars ("Huaizhi", "Guiwei", "Nuomici", "Hongmili" and "Shuijingqiu", "Nuomici" became deteriorated much faster than other cultivars while "Guiwei" fruit was the slowest in the rotting process (Fig. 1A). Fruit deterioration was accompanied by

Litchi fruit (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is highly perishable after harvest. The shelf life is only 4-6days under ambient temperature storage conditions, which has restricted the development of the litchi industry to a considerable extent. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of litchi fruit

Senescence is a key factor resulting in deterioration of non-climacteric fruit. NAC transcription factors are important regulators in plant development and abiotic stress responses, yet little information regarding the role of NACs in regulating non-climacteric fruit senescence is available. In this

Potassium pyroantimonate precipitation method was used for investigating calcium distribution and cell ultrastructure change during development of pistils of litchi male and female flower. The results showed that at the megasporocyte stage of female flowers, calcium precipitates was located mainly

BACKGROUND Litchi has a high commercial value due to its bright color and rich nutrients. However, it deteriorates with the pericarp turning brown within 1-2 days after harvest. The factors that mediate litchi fruit senescence are complicated. MicroRNAs act as negative regulators involved in almost

The ultrastructural changes of meristematic cell during the degeneration of gynoecium primordium leading to the formation of staminate flower of litchi were followed. Degradation of the cells and transport of the dissolved cytoplasmic components were well ordered. Configurations of rough endoplasmic

The reduction of interfacial interaction and the deterioration of mechanical properties by the introduction of the indispensable paraffin wax is a long-standing problem. To address it, a novel litchi-like core-shell 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane (HMX)@paraffin wax@polydopamine (PDA)

Phytosynthesis of metal nanoparticles is considered as a safe, cost-effective, and green approach. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized using the aqueous extract of Lychee (Litchi chinensis) fruit peel and an aqueous solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3). The
