A Genome-wide Analysis of the 14-3-3 Gene Family in Chinese Chestnut (Castanea mollissima)
摘要: [Objectives] The 14-3-3 proteins are a class of highly conserved adapter proteins in eukaryotes that play a central role in signal transduction by recognizing phosphorylated target proteins and are crucial for plant growth and development. Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) is an important woody grain crop in China. This study aimed to systematically identify the 14-3-3 gene family in chestnut and investigate their fundamental characteristics and functional clues, thereby laying a foundation for further elucidating the biological functions of this family in Chinese chestnut. [Methods] Using a combination of bioinformatics and molecular biology approaches, we conducted a comprehensive identification of the 14-3-3 family members in Chinese chestnut. Subsequently, we systematically analyzed their physicochemical properties, gene structures, conserved domains and motifs, gene duplication events, phylogenetic relationships, tissue-specific expression patterns, and codon usage bias. [Results] A total of nine 14-3-3 family members, designated CmGRF1 to CmGRF9, were identified and classified into two subgroups: epsilon (5 members) and non-epsilon (4 members). All CmGRF proteins were predicted to be hydrophilic. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a strong correlation between the clustering of CmGRFs and their respective gene structures, conserved domains, and motif compositions. Transcriptome data analysis indicated significant differences in the expression levels of different CmGRF members across various tissues and developmental stages. Codon preference analysis showed that CmGRFs tend to use codons ending with A/U, and their evolution is primarily driven by natural selection pressure. [Conclusions] This study provides the first genome-wide systematic analysis of the gene family in Chinese chestnut. The findings offer important theoretical insights and candidate genes for further research into the specific functions of these family members in chestnut growth, development, and stress responses.

Effects of Amino Polysaccharides on Nitrogen Metabolism, Growth and Quality of Non-heading Chinese Cabbage
摘要: [Objectives] This study was conducted to promote the high-yield and high-quality cultivation of non-heading Chinese cabbag. [Methods] Two non-heading Chinese cabbage varieties, ‘Suzhouqing’ and ‘Huakaifugui’, were used as experimental materials. Five concentrations of amino polysaccharides, A (1 000 times solution), B (500 times solution), C (100 times solution), D (10 times solution), and CK, were set up to investigate the effects of amino polysaccharides on nitrogen metabolism, chlorophyll synthesis, dry matter accumulation, and nutritional quality in non-heading Chinese cabbage leaves. [Results] Nitrate reductase and glutamine synthetase activities in the leaves of the two non-heading Chinese cabbage varieties were significantly enhanced, and the free amino acid content, chlorophyll content, soluble protein content, vitamin C content and plant dry weight increased significantly, while the nitrate nitrogen content decreased significantly. Amino polysaccharides facilitated nitrogen conversion and amino acid synthesis in non-heading Chinese cabbage, thereby promoting growth, increasing yield, and improving quality. The application effect of high concentration amino polysaccharide solutions (100 times and 10 times dilutions) was better. [Conclusions] This study provides a theoretical foundation for exploring the application potential of amino polysaccharides in high-yield and high-quality cultivation of non-heading Chinese cabbage.

Joint Toxicity of Fluxapyroxad and Pyraclostrobin on Zebrafish and Their Mitochondrial Targeting Mechanisms
摘要: [Objectives] This study was conducted to investigate the joint toxicity of fungicides on aquatic ecosystems. [Methods] Using zebrafish as a model organism, an LC-MS/MS simultaneous detection method was established for fluxapyroxad and pyraclostrobin (with detection limits at ng/L level), and  their acute toxicity, joint toxicity and toxic mechanisms were systematically evaluated. [Results] The toxicity of pyraclostrobin (96 h-LC₅₀ = 0.052 mg/L) to zebrafish was approximately 25.8 times higher than that of fluxapyroxad (96 h-LC₅₀ = 1.34 mg/L). Joint toxicity evaluation using the fixed-ratio ray design revealed that six of the seven mixture ratios exhibited additive effects (AI = 0.62-1.47), while the 8:1 ratio showed antagonism (AI = 2.14). The analysis of toxicity mechanisms indicated that both fungicides induced oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and cellular damage through inhibition of mitochondrial complex III and II, respectively, with pyraclostrobin inducing more pronounced hepatic MDA elevation (2.56-fold) and antioxidant enzyme inhibition. Ecological risk assessment demonstrated that fluxapyroxad posed moderate risk (RQ = 0.16-0.90), while pyraclostrobin posed moderate to high risk (RQ = 0.56-3.56), and crustaceans faced the highest risk. [Conclusions] This study elucidated the mechanism underlying toxicity differences due to distinct mitochondrial targets, providing a scientific basis for fungicide management.
