Do shifts in soil Oribatida (Acari, Oribatida) give information on differences in Fruit Yield of Chinese star anise?
Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment, 2015Co-Authors: Bing Yang, Xianghui Liu, Weikai Bao, Wenjun LiangAbstract:Abstract Oribatida are actively involved in organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and soil formation. However, the effect of their activities on the Fruit Yield of Chinese star anise (Illicium verum) is unknown. Here, Oribatida in the topsoils of low- and high-Yielding plantations of star anise were extracted with Berlese–Tullgren funnels from soil samples collected in September, 2012, and their abundances, diversities, and compositions were compared. Fruit Yield exerted a negligible effect on abundance and diversity of Oribatida. However, the Oribatida community compositions in the two plantation types were distinct. Multivariate analysis indicated that the combined effects of Yield difference and environmental factors, including soil physicochemical properties, soil microbes, and free-living nematodes, accounted for the differences in Oribatida community compositions. Indicator species analysis suggested that Tectocepheus, Rostrozetes, Hypochthonius, and Microzetes were typically found in the high-Yielding plantation. The results demonstrated that soil physicochemical properties and trophic interactions among components in the soil food web were important factors affecting the community compositions of the Oribatida mites.

multi gene metabolic engineering of tomato plants results in increased Fruit Yield up to 23
Scientific Reports, 2020Co-Authors: Jose G Vallarino, Szymon Kubiszewskijakubiak, Stephanie Ruf, Margit Rosner, Stefan Timm, Hermann Bauwe, Fernando Carrari, Doris Rentsch, Ralph Bock, Lee J SweetloveAbstract:The capacity to assimilate carbon and nitrogen, to transport the resultant sugars and amino acids to sink tissues, and to convert the incoming sugars and amino acids into storage compounds in the sink tissues, are key determinants of crop Yield. Given that all of these processes have the potential to co-limit growth, multiple genetic interventions in source and sink tissues, plus transport processes may be necessary to reach the full Yield potential of a crop. We used biolistic combinatorial co-transformation (up to 20 transgenes) for increasing C and N flows with the purpose of increasing tomato Fruit Yield. We observed an increased Fruit Yield of up to 23%. To better explore the reconfiguration of metabolic networks in these transformants, we generated a dataset encompassing physiological parameters, gene expression and metabolite profiling on plants grown under glasshouse or polytunnel conditions. A Sparse Partial Least Squares regression model was able to explain the combination of genes that contributed to increased Fruit Yield. This combinatorial study of multiple transgenes targeting primary metabolism thus offers opportunities to probe the genetic basis of metabolic and phenotypic variation, providing insight into the difficulties in choosing the correct combination of targets for engineering increased Fruit Yield.
