The orange subfamily (Aurantioideae) contains several Citrus species cultivated worldwide,
such as sweet orange and lemon. The origin of Citrus species has long been debated and …

Mandarin (Citrus reticulata) is one of the most important citrus crops worldwide. Its domestication
is believed to have occurred in South China, which has been one of the centers of …

Somatic variations are a major source of genetic diversification in asexual plants, and underpin
clonal evolution and the breeding of asexual crops. Sweet orange is a model species for …

The evolution of fruit colour in plants is intriguing. Citrus fruit has repeatedly gained or lost the
ability to synthesize anthocyanins. Chinese box orange, a primitive citrus, can accumulate …

High soil salinity negatively affects plant growth and development, leading to a severe
decrease in crop production worldwide. Here, we report that a secreted peptide, PAMP-INDUCED …

Salt stress reduces crop growth and productivity globally. Here we report that a R2R3‐MYB
transcription factor MYB30 participates in salt tolerance in Arabidopsis. MYB30 can be …

Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a common and important complication of allogeneic hematopoietic
cell transplantation (HCT). Reactivation of BK virus is its most common cause. The more …

Deciphering the genetic basis of organoleptic traits is critical for improving the quality of fruits,
which greatly shapes their appeal to consumers. Here, we characterize the citrus R3-MYB …

Soil salinity significantly represses plant development and growth. Mechanisms involved
sodium (Na + ) extrusion and compartmentation, intracellular membrane trafficking as well as …

Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET) genes are widely distributed in most plants, but the
codon usage bias of XET genes has remained uncharacterized. Thus, we analyzed the …
