Plants make different defense mechanisms in response to different environmental stresses.
One common way is to produce secondary metabolites. Temperature is the main …

Tartaric acid (TA) is an obscure end point to the catabolism of ascorbic acid (Asc). Here, it is
proposed as a “specialized primary metabolite”, originating from carbohydrate metabolism …

Cultivated grapevine (Vitis) is a highly valued horticultural crop, and cold stress affects its
growth and productivity. Wild Amur grape (Vitis amurensis) PAT1 (Phytochrome A signal …

Vitis amurensis (Shanputao) is the most cold tolerant Vitis species and so is of great interest
to grape breeders and producers in areas with low winter temperatures. Here, we report its …

Cold stress is a major limiting factor in grape (Vitis) productivity. In this study, we
characterized a cold‐responsive ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription factor, Va ERF …

Plants synthesize various compounds for their growth, metabolism, and stress mitigation,
and one such group of compounds is the raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFOs). RFOs …

Stilbene synthase (STS) is the key enzyme leading to the biosynthesis of resveratrol.
Recently we reported two R2R3-MYB transcription factor (TF) genes that regulate the …

Background Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role in abiotic stress responses. The
pyrabactin resistance (PYR)/PYR-like (PYL)/regulatory component of ABA receptor (RCAR) …

Grapevine (Vitis ssp.) is a deciduous perennial fruit crop, and the canes and buds of
grapevine should withstand low temperatures (LTs) annually during winter. However, the …

The MYB, one of the largest transcription factor families in plants, is related to various
biological processes. For an example, the R2R3-MYB family plays an important role in …
