Akebia trifoliata is an underutilized fruit with distinctive sensory characteristics and potential for beverage development; however, its application is limited by flavor-balance and suspension-stability challenges. This study optimized the formulation and short-term physical stability of A. trifoliata cloudy juice using single-factor tests, orthogonal experiments, and fuzzy mathematical sensory evaluation. Each treatment was independently prepared in triplicate (n = 3), with each preparation considered an experimental replicate. The effects of pulp, sugar, and citric acid concentrations on sensory quality were evaluated, with citric acid identified as the dominant factor affecting overall acceptability. The highest-performing basic formulation among the tested combinations contained 14% pulp, 8% sugar, and 0.05% citric acid, yielding a cloudy juice with characteristic aroma, smooth texture, and balanced sweet–sour taste. To improve short-term suspension stability, pectin, guar gum, xanthan gum, sodium alginate, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose were assessed. Pectin showed the strongest individual stabilizing effect, although excessive viscosity reduced sensory acceptability. Orthogonal optimization identified a compound stabilizer system of 0.03% pectin, 0.05% guar gum, and 0.06% xanthan gum as the formulation providing the most favorable balance between the suspension stability coefficient and trained-panel sensory score among the tested combinations. The fuzzy mathematical evaluation approach provided a structured framework for integrating multiple sensory and stability-related indicators into formulation decisions. These findings provide a practical basis for the formulation and short-term stability screening of A. trifoliata cloudy juice as a value-added beverage and support broader utilization of this indigenous fruit resource. Long-term storage stability, microbial safety, bioactive properties, rheological behavior, and consumer acceptance require further evaluation.
Wild orchids hold significant ornamental value, yet current research focuses on germplasm resources, lacks systematic studies on the native habitats and root endophytic fungi of species like Cymbidium goeringii and Cymbidium faberi. This study used fungal sequencing to explore the fungal community in the native habitats of these orchids in the Qinling Mountains. We compared rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil fungi and assessed the ecological functions of dominant fungal-groups. The impact of soil chemical indicators on fungalcommunities was also analyzed. Endophytic fungi were isolated from orchid roots to evaluate their growthpromoting potential. Results showed that Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were dominant in the rhizosphere of both species. Symbiotic nutrient and pathology-saprophytic-symbiotic mixed fungal types were predominant, accounting for 56.76 % and 79.17 % of the fungal-community, respectively. Soil factors like total-nitrogen and ammonium-nitrogen correlated strongly with these communities. 17 fungal strains were isolated, with strains HL01, HL02, HL06, and HL17 exhibiting indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production, nitrogen fixation, and phosphorus solubilization. Strain HL08 showed IAA production, nitrogen fixation, and potassium solubilization. These strains contribute to enriching growth-promoting fungal resources for both species. This research provides a theoretical and scientific basis for the conservation, artificial cultivation, and breeding of Cymbidium goeringii and Cymbidium faberi.
Paperbark maple (Acer griseum), an endemic and endangered wild plant in China, has red-colored autumn leaves of high ornamental and garden application value. Leaf color change serves as a crucial indicator for evaluating garden tree aesthetics; however, research on A. griseum's leaf color change remains limited. This study aims to elucidate the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying leaf color change in maple leaves through physiological, transcriptional, and metabolic assays. Data analysis encompasses gene expression levels and metabolite changes in three distinct states of maple leaves: green, half-red, and red. The progessive decrease of chlorophyll and carotenoids and the continuous accumulation of anthocyanidins caused a sharp change in leaf coloration, which was most drastic in the green to half-red period. Subsequently, targeted metabolomics analysis was performed, and a total of 71 anthocyanidins were detected, and the content of eight types of anthocyanidins increased significantly in the half-red and red periods, compared with that in the green period; of which the multiplicative difference was the largest for cyanidin-3,5-O diglucoside, delivering the largest multiplicative difference. Thus, it was plausible that cyanidin-3,5-O-diglucoside-dominated compoundswere likely to be the main metabolites associated with leaf reddening. Correlation analysis revealed that 12 key transcription factors (TFs) were significantly correlated with the anthocyanin-related metabolites and structural genes, which play important regulatory roles during the biosynthesis of anthocyanosides in A. griseum. These findings offered useful insights into the molecular basis of leaf color variation in A. griseum; providing valuable information to guide targeted genetic breeding and varietal improvement strategies.
Grapes are globally recognized as economically significant fruit trees. Among grape varieties, Thompson Seedless holds paramount influence for fresh consumption and for extensive applications in winemaking, drying, and juicing. This variety is one of the most efficient genotypes for grape genetic modification. However, the lack of a high-quality genome has impeded effective breeding efforts. Here, we present the high-quality reference genome of Thompson Seedless with all 19 chromosomes represented as 19 contiguous sequences (N50 = 27.1 Mb) with zero gaps and prediction of all telomeres and centromeres. Compared with the previous assembly (TSv1 version), the new assembly incorporates an additional 31.5 Mb of high-quality sequenced data with annotation of a total of 30 397 protein-coding genes. We also performed a meticulous analysis to identify nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat genes (NLRs) in Thompson Seedless and two wild grape varieties renowned for their disease resistance. Our analysis revealed a significant reduction in the number of two types of NLRs, TIR-NB-LRR (TNL) and CC-NB-LRR (CNL), in Thompson Seedless, which may have led to its sensitivity to many fungal diseases, such as powdery mildew, and an increase in the number of a third type, RPW8 (resistance to powdery mildew 8)-NB-LRR (RNL). Subsequently, transcriptome analysis showed significant enrichment of NLRs during powdery mildew infection, emphasizing the pivotal role of these elements in grapevine’s defense against powdery mildew. The successful assembly of a high-quality Thompson Seedless reference genome significantly contributes to grape genomics research, providing insight into the importance of seedlessness, disease resistance, and color traits, and these data can be used to facilitate grape molecular breeding efforts.
Rhizosphere microbial communities have abundant species and a large number, and affect the physiology and growth of plants. When studying rhizosphere microbes, the rhizosphere ecosystem function and protection of wild orchids will be facilitated. By using high-throughput sequencing technology, the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere bacteria and fungi of wild Cymbidium goeringii and Cymbidium faberi in the Qinling Mountains were analyzed at phylum, class, order, family, and genus levels to explore the rhizosphere bacterial and fungal community structure and diversity of orchid plants (C. goeringii and C. faberi) under natural conditions. The results showed that at the phylum level Proteobacteria was dominant in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil of C. goeringii and C. faberi, but the proportion was different. The abundance of Proteobacteria in rhizosphere soil of C. faberi was the highest (35.5%), which was about 1.3 times of that in non-rhizosphere soil. Bacteroidetes accounted for 17.2% in rhizosphere soil of C. goeringii, much higher than that of non-rhizosphere soil (7.92%). The dominant groups of fungi in rhizosphere soil of C. goeringii and C. faberi were both Ascomycota. At the genus level, PCoA analysis showed that the community structure of bacteria and fungi in different samples was not only common but also specific, which was manifested in the similar dominant species but different subdominant species. This difference is reflected in the composition and relative abundance of microbial communities between different samples, and will gradually become obvious with the refinement of genera.
Aiming at the problems of high drilling friction and serious backing pressure on the drill string under the difficult oil and gas drilling conditions, which leads to low rate of penetration(ROP) or low rock-breaking efficiency, this article proposed a non-moving component jet oscillation tool based on the Coanda effect. Combined with the field working conditions of drilling process, the numerical simulations of the oscillation nipple internal flow are completed first. After that, the recirculation characteristics, switching mechanism and entrainment effect of the internal fluid are studied, including the flow velocities and the dynamics features of the pressure field at different positions. The experimental tests are conducted to verify the theoretical study results. The results show that the fluid presents same periodic wall-attached and switching behaviors. With the inlet flow increasing, the fluid velocities at the inlet and outlet locations show quasi-linear distributions, and the fluid pressures loss changes periodically. The jet oscillation tool can generate appropriate periodic pressure pulse, and the pulse value and fluid switching period are determined by design parameters. The comparative analysis between numerical simulations and experimental tests shows the results exhibit similar characteristics. It is concluded that this non-moving component tool can produce periodic oscillation effect, thereby changing the friction status between the drilling tools and wellbore and improving drilling efficiency. The research results can provide references for optimization designs of similar downhole tools and also develop technical supports for the efficient exploitation of oil and gas resources.

The deep or hard formation is an important development direction of oil and gas energy resource exploration, and new equipment for accelerating rock breaking is urgently needed. Therefore, a new composite impact acceleration tool is proposed in this paper. Based on the tool, the dynamic theoretical model and differential equation of the drill string system are established. And simulate the rock breaking characteristics of PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) cutters under composite impact. The new tool can change these results from periodic fluctuation to be stable such as the angular velocity of the drill bit, driving and friction torque. Simultaneously, the angular displacement changes from discontinuous to continuous increase. The increase of WOB (Weight on Bit) could enhance PDC invasion depth and improve rock breaking efficiency, but it may cause bouncing of drill bit. The rotational speed of 60 rpm (revolution per minute) is the critical point in the cases. When the rotational speed increases above 60 rpm, the specific energy of rock breaking reduces and the efficiency improves. However, it shows the opposite characteristics when the rotational speed increases below 60 rpm. The application of the composite impact acceleration tool can significantly suppress the stick–slip vibration and improves dynamics stability of drill string system. Also, appropriate selection of key parameters such as WOB or rotational speed can improve drilling efficiency.

Akebia trifoliata (A. trifoliata) is a widely distributed wild vine that has attracted much attention in recent years due to the edible fruit of food and medicinal value. In this paper, the fruits of A. trifoliata, which are derived from Qinling Mountains (12 genotypes) and Bashan Mountains (4 genotypes) and have been artificially domesticated and cultivated for many years, are taken as the research object to study the fruit characteristics and pulp components of 16 genotypes of A. trifoliata. The results show that the pulp of the 16 genotypes contain a variety of nutrients, among which the average contents of total sugar, total acid, vitamin C, soluble solids and starch are 14.68g/100g, 0.14g/100g, 26.40mg/100g, 17.95% and 5.29g/100g. The fruit contains 17 amino acids, including 7 essential amino acids and 4 organic acids. The latter refers to malic acid, lactic acid, citric acid and fumaric acid, the average contents of which are 1.03g/kg, 3.38g/kg, 0.33g/kg and 0.0149g/kg. Besides, 8 mineral elements in the fruit include 4 macro elements and 4 micro elements. The average contents of the former are potassium (1.83g/kg), calcium (0.23g/kg), phosphorus (0.28g/kg) and magnesium (0.21g/kg), and the average contents of the latter are iron (2.29mg/kg), zinc (2.23mg/kg), copper (1.37mg/kg) and manganese (5.52mg/kg). During the ripening process of A. trifoliata fruit (using HY-9 as the material), the main nutrients in the pulp such as total sugar, soluble solids, starch, amino acids and various mineral elements reach the maximum in stage 3, indicating that stage 3 is the best edible period of A. trifoliata fruit. Through the assignment analysis and comprehensive evaluation of 9 quality indicators (3 apparent characters and 6 main chemical components) of the fruits of the 16 A. trifoliata genotypes from Qinba Mountains, HY-1, HY-2 and HY-9 were finally screened out as the three superior genotypes. This study aims to provide reference for the development and utilization of A. trifoliata wild germplasm resources and the selection of new varieties.

Thuja (Thuja sutchuenensis Franch.) (family Cupressaceae) is a Chinese endemic plant once declared extinct in China. After being rediscovered in 1999, it attracted the attention of domestic scholars. This study aimed to investigate the extraction process and composition of the essential oil from thuja to provide a reference for further research. The main xylem of thuja collected from the Qinling-Bashan mountains was used as the experimental material. The essential oil of thuja was extracted by the supercritical carbon dioxide fluid extraction (SFE-CO2) process, and the composition of the essential oil was detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Extraction pressure, extraction temperature, and extraction dynamic time were the main factors influencing the extraction rate. The optimal conditions for the extraction include the following: maintaining the extraction pressure at 20 MPa, extracting for 60 min at 45 degrees C, and maintaining the CO2 flow rate at 1.5 L min(-1) at 120 degrees C. Under the optimal extraction conditions, the oil extraction rates of three verification experiments were 18.87, 18.63, and 19.07%. The GC-MS detected 136 components from the extracted thuja essential oil, and 75 components were identified. The main components of the essential oil were cis-thujopsene (23.54%) and cedrol (13.08%). In this study, the optimal process for SFE-CO2 of essential oil from the xylem of thuja was obtained. Under this optimized process, the average oil content was 18.86%.
Resveratrol is an important secondary metabolite not only owing to its function as a phytoalexin, but also its potential benefits to human health. In this study, the content of trans-resveratrol was documented in seven accessions of grapevine, in the seed, pulp and skin of berries, and at three developmental stages. The highest amount (2.99 mu g g -1 FW) was found in the skin of berries at the ripe stage from V. amurensis 'Tonghua-3'. Resveratrol was not detected in several samples, including skin of berries at the green hard or v & eacute;raison stage from V. davidii 'Tangwei'. We carried out transcriptional profiling of developing 'Tonghua-3' and 'Tangwei' berries to identify gene expression patterns that may be linked with the difference in resveratrol content between these accessions. The expression levels of several differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with presumed function in resveratrol biosynthesis, including STILBENESYNTHASEs ( STSs ), CINNAMATE4-HYDROXYLASEs ( C4Hs ) and 4-COUMARATE-COA LIGASEs (4CLs), were significantly higher in 'Tonghua-3', than in 'Tangwei' during the v & eacute;raison and ripe stages. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses suggested that these DEGs were enriched for multiple biological processes at the three stages of fruit development. Additionally, we identified a total of 36 transcription factors, including MYBs, WRKYs, ERFs, bHLHs and bZIPs, that were co- expressed with 17 STSs via a weighted gene co-expression network analysis, suggesting roles as regulators of resveratrol biosynthesis. Overall, these findings provide insight into genotypic differences in resveratrol biosynthesis in grapevine, as well as the molecular genetics of its regulation.

Drought stress severely affects grapevine quality and yield, and recent reports have revealed that lignin plays an important role in protection from drought stress. Since little is known about lignin-mediated drought resistance in grapevine, we investigated its significance. Herein, we show that VlbZIP30 mediates drought resistance by activating the expression of lignin biosynthetic genes and increasing lignin deposition. Transgenic grapevine plants overexpressing VlbZIP30 exhibited lignin deposition (mainly G and S monomers) in the stem secondary xylem under control conditions, which resulted from the upregulated expression of VvPRX4 and VvPRX72. Overexpression of VlbZIP30 improves drought tolerance, characterized by a reduction in the water loss rate, maintenance of an effective photosynthesis rate, and increased lignin content (mainly G monomer) in leaves under drought conditions. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay, luciferase reporter assays, and chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR assays indicated that VlbZIP30 directly binds to the G-box cis-element in the promoters of lignin biosynthetic (VvPRX N1) and drought-responsive (VvNAC17) genes to regulate their expression. In summary, we report a novel VlbZIP30-mediated mechanism linking lignification and drought tolerance in grapevine. The results of this study may be of value for the development of molecular breeding strategies to produce drought-resistant fruit crops.
