RESUMEN
Revealing the genetic basis for stress-resistant traits in extremophile plants will yield important information for crop improvement. Zygophyllum xanthoxylum, an extant species of the ancient Mediterranean, is a succulent xerophyte that can maintain a favorable water status under desert habitats; however, the genetic basis of this adaptive trait is poorly understood. Furthermore, the phylogenetic position of Zygophyllales, to which Z. xanthoxylum belongs, remains controversial. In this study, we sequenced and assembled the chromosome-level genome of Z. xanthoxylum. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Zygophyllales and Myrtales form a separated taxon as a sister to the clade comprising fabids and malvids, clarifying the phylogenetic position of Zygophyllales at whole-genome scale. Analysis of genomic and transcriptomic data revealed multiple critical mechanisms underlying the efficient osmotic adjustment using Na+ and K+ as "cheap" osmolytes that Z. xanthoxylum has evolved through the expansion and synchronized expression of genes encoding key transporters/channels and their regulators involved in Na+/K+ uptake, transport, and compartmentation. It is worth noting that ZxCNGC1;1 (cyclic nucleotide-gated channels) and ZxCNGC1;2 constituted a previously undiscovered energy-saving pathway for Na+ uptake. Meanwhile, the core genes involved in biosynthesis of cuticular wax also featured an expansion and upregulated expression, contributing to the water retention capacity of Z. xanthoxylum under desert environments. Overall, these findings boost the understanding of evolutionary relationships of eudicots, illustrate the unique water retention mechanism in the succulent xerophyte that is distinct from glycophyte, and thus provide valuable genetic resources for the improvement of stress tolerance in crops and insights into the remediation of sodic lands.

Recent years have seen a significant increase in interest in green manufacturing as a key driver of global carbon-neutral efforts and sustainable development. To find the research hotspots of green manufacturing and reveal future research trends, this study reviewed and analyzed research articles from the Web of Science database on green manufacturing from 1991 to 2022 using a bibliometric method. The findings indicate a significant rise in the number of articles related to green manufacturing since the 2010s. Moreover, there has been an increase in the involvement of scholars from developing countries such as China and India in this field. Based on the literature review and bibliometric cluster analysis on green manufacturing, we believed that future research may continue following the lines of intelligent technology integration, adoption of frontier engineering techniques, and industry development in line with carbon reduction targets. A framework for future green manufacturing development is proposed, with a focus on Chinese policies. The framework could provide policy implications for developing countries looking to pursue opportunities for development in green manufacturing.

Cooked off-flavor was produced during the processing of concentrated peach puree (CPP), which led to aroma deterioration. Enzymatic treatment was beneficial in eliminating off-flavors and improving the aroma quality. Herein, the efficacy of glycosidase (AR2000), glucose oxidation (GOD), and their combination on the inhibition of off-flavors and aroma enhancement were evaluated. Compared with CPP, contents of benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, nonanal, and linalool increased by 198%, 1222%, 781%, and 71% after AR2000 treatment via the metabolisms of shikimate, glucose, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid, leading to the strengthening of floral and grassy. Due to the removal of 1-octen-3-one via linolenic acid metabolism, cooked off-flavor could be significantly weakened by GOD. Furthermore, Furthermore, the combination of AR2000 and GOD could not only inhibit the production of 1-octen-3-one to weaken the cooked note but also enhance grassy and floral attributes via the increase of aldehydes and alcohols.

Global water deficit is a severe abiotic stress threatening the yielding and quality of crops. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone that mediates drought tolerance. Protein kinases and phosphatases function as molecular switches in eukaryotes. Protein phosphatases type 2C (PP2Cs) are a major family that play essential roles in ABA signaling and stress responses. However, the role and underlying mechanism of PP2C in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) mediating drought response has not been reported yet. Here, we characterized a PP2C family member, BnaPP2C37, and its expression level was highly induced by ABA and dehydration treatments. It negatively regulates drought tolerance in rapeseed. We further identified that BnaPP2C37 interacted with multiple PYR/PYL receptors and a drought regulator BnaCPK5 (calcium-dependent protein kinase 5) through yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays. Specifically, BnaPYL1 and BnaPYL9 repress BnaPP2C37 phosphatase activity. Moreover, the pull-down assay and phosphatase assays show BnaPP2C37 interacts with BnaCPK5 to dephosphorylate BnaCPK5 and its downstream BnaABF3. Furthermore, a dual-luciferase assay revealed BnaPP2C37 transcript level was enhanced by BnaABF3 and BnaABF4, forming a negative feedback regulation to ABA response. In summary, we identified that BnaPP2C37 functions negatively in drought tolerance of rapeseed, and its phosphatase activity is repressed by BnaPYL1/9 whereas its transcriptional level is upregulated by BnaABF3/4.
