| 3 | Isolation and comparative proteomic analysis of mitochondria from the pulp of ripening citrus fruit显示文摘Mitochondria are crucial for the production of primary and secondary metabolites,which largely determine the quality of fruit.However,a method for isolating high-quality mitochondria is currently not available in citrus fruit,preventing high-throughput characterization of mitochondrial functions.Here,based on differential and discontinuous Percoll density gradient centrifugation,we devised a universal protocol for isolating mitochondria from the pulp of four major citrus species,including satsuma mandarin,ponkan mandarin,sweet orange,and pummelo.Western blot analysis and microscopy confirmed the high purity and intactness of the isolated mitochondria.By using this protocol coupled with a label-free proteomic approach,a total of 3353 nonredundant proteins were identified.Comparison of the four mitochondrial proteomes revealed that the proteins commonly detected in all proteomes participate in several typical metabolic pathways(such as tricarboxylic acid cycle,pyruvate metabolism,and oxidative phosphorylation)and pathways closely related to fruit quality(such asγ-aminobutyric acid(GABA)shunt,ascorbate metabolism,and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites).In addition,differentially abundant proteins(DAPs)between different types of species were also identified;these were found to be mainly involved in fatty acid and amino acid metabolism and were further confirmed to be localized to the mitochondria by subcellular localization analysis.In summary,the proposed protocol for the isolation of highly pure mitochondria from different citrus fruits may be used to obtain high-coverage mitochondrial proteomes,which can help to establish the association between mitochondrial metabolism and fruit storability or quality characteristics of different species and lay the foundation for discovering novel functions of mitochondria in plants. | Xin Li Yingfang Chai Hongbin Yang Zhen Tian Chengyang Li Rangwei Xu Chunmei Shi Feng Zhu Yunliu Zeng Xiuxin Deng Pengwei Wang Yunjiang Cheng | 2021 | Horticulture Research2021，8，1： | 0 |
| 4 | Illuminating the cells:transient transformation of citrus to study gene functions and organelle activities related to fruit quality显示文摘Although multiple microscopic techniques have been applied to horticultural research,few studies of individual organelles in living fruit cells have been reported to date.In this paper,we established an efficient system for the transient transformation of citrus fruits using an Agrobacterium-mediated method.Kumquat(Fortunella crassifolia Swingle)was used;it exhibits higher transformation efficiency than all citrus fruits that have been tested and a prolonged-expression window.Fruits were transformed with fluorescent reporters,and confocal microscopy and live-cell imaging were used to study their localization and dynamics.Moreover,various pH sensors targeting different subcellular compartments were expressed,and the local pH environments in cells from different plant tissues were compared.The results indicated that vacuoles are most likely the main organelles that contribute to the low pH of citrus fruits.In summary,our method is effective for studying various membrane trafficking events,protein localization,and cell physiology in fruit and can provide new insight into fruit biology research. | Jinli Gong Zhen Tian Xiaolu Qu Qiunan Meng Yajie Guan Ping Liu Chuanwu Chen Xiuxin Deng Wenwu Guo Yunjiang Cheng Pengwei Wang | 2021 | Horticulture Research2021，8，1： | 0 |
| 5 | Ligand-induced,magic-size clusters enabled formation of colloidal all-inorganic II-VI nanoplatelets with controllable lateral dimensions显示文摘Achieving nanoconfinement-controlled synthesis of nanoplatelets(NPLs)via solution process under ambient condition remains a challenge.In this work,we developed a general ligand-induced strategy to synthesize colloidal stable all-inorganic semiconductor NPLs with controllable lateral dimensions.By introducing certain metal salts(cations:Zn^(2+)and In^(3+),anions:NO_(3)^(−),BF_(4)^(−),or triflate OTf−),wurtzite-structured(WZ-)CdS,CdSe,CdTe,and alloy Cd1−xZnxSe NPLs were directly synthesized in solution through the controlled diffusion of magic-size clusters(MSCs)at room temperature.Mechanism studies revealed that destabilization of MSCs and nanoconfined growth in templates facilitated the formation of NPLs.The present study not only provides a new synthetic route for the preparation of NPLs but also helps to provide insight into their probable formation mechanism and presents an important advance toward the rational design of functional nanomaterials. | Xufeng Chen Junjun Ge Pengwei Xiao Yalei Deng Yuanyuan Wang | 2023 | Nano Research2023，16，2： | 0 |
