Cold Stress-Induced DNA Methylation Profiling and Its Association with Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Germinating Mikania micrantha Seeds

Mikania micrantha, a highly invasive weed, faces constraints on its northward range expansion in South China due to low winter temperatures. Although DNA methylation is increasingly recognized as a mediator of plant stress adaptation, it remains unknown whether epigenetic regulat...

Preharvest CPPU Application Improves Litchi Fruit Storability via Modification of Hormone Profiles and Maintenance of Recalcitrant Seed Vigor

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.), an important fruit in south China, rapidly loses commercial value within 3–4 days at ambient temperatures due to poor storability. Previous studies have shown that 5 mg L−1 CPPU (N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N′-phenylurea) application can improve postha...
