Discovery of candidate genes involved in ethylene biosynthesis and signal transduction pathways related to peach bud cold resistance.

ABSTRACT: Background: Low temperature pose significant challenges to peach cultivation, causing severe damage to peach buds and restricting production and distribution. Ethylene, an important phytohormone, plays a critical role in enhancing plant cold resistance. Structural genes and transcription factors involved in ethylene biosynthesis and signal transduction pathways are associated with cold resistance. However, no research has specifically addressed their roles in peach cold resistance. Methods: In this study, we aimed for cold-resistance gene discovery in cold-sensitive peach cultivar "21Shiji" (21SJ) and cold-resistance cultivar "Shijizhixing" (SJZX) using RNA-seq and gas chromatography. Results: The findings revealed that under cold stress conditions, ethylene biosynthes
