Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll content was apparently higher in low-density (LD) apple than in the high-density (HD) control.
- Intervention effect The contents of ACC, RUBP and PEP were apparently higher in low-density (LD) apple than in the high-density (HD) control.
- Intervention effect The contents of PPO and AO were noticeably lower in low-density (LD) apple than in high-density (HD) apple.
- Observation 3808 differentially expressed genes were detected between high-density and low-density apple trees.
- Observation 1935 DEGs were found in the middle-upper comparison between HD and LD.
- Observation 2390 DEGs were found in the lower-outer comparison between HD and LD.
- Observation 1108 DEGs were found in the lower-inner comparison between HD and LD.
- Observation 274 common differentially expressed genes (co-DEGs) were contained in all three comparisons.
- Observation Functional enrichment and KEGG analysis found the co-DEGs involved in carbon fixation, circadian rhythm, photosynthesis antenna proteins, photosynthesis, chlorophyll metabolism, porphyrin and sugar metabolism.
- Mechanism The LHCB gene family participated in photosynthesis as parts of photosystem II.
- Mechanism SPA1, rbcL, SNRK2, MYC2, BSK, SAUR and PP2C are involved in circadian rhythm.
- Observation The expression of genes related to glycometabolism and hormone signaling pathways was also changed.
