Ginkgo biloba is a monotypic species native to China with great economic and ecological values. Leaves extract of this tree contains about 24% flavonoids, which are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. However, flavonoids biosynthesis pathway poorly understood Ginkgo. In study, we comprehensively compared transcriptome metabolite profiles high-flavonoids mutant (ZY1) Anlu1 (control) leaves. A total 122 significantly changed metabolites 1683 differentially expressed genes (DEGs),...
Background Homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-ZIP) proteins are plant-specific transcriptional factors known to play crucial roles in plant development. Although sequence phylogeny analysis of Populus HD-ZIPs was carried out a previous study, no systematic incorporating genome organization, gene structure, and expression compendium has been conducted model tree species thus far. Principal Findings In this comprehensive HD-ZIP family performed. Sixty-three full-length genes were found genome....
Abstract Activity of the vascular cambium gives rise to secondary xylem for wood formation in trees. The transcription factor WUSCHEL-related HOMEOBOX4 (WOX4) is a central regulator downstream hormone and peptide signaling pathways that maintain cambial activity. However, genetic regulatory network underlying WOX4-mediated at post-transcriptional level remains be elucidated. In this study, we identified ubiquitin receptor PagDA1 hybrid poplar (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa clone 84K) as...
The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-ZIP) transcription factors, representing one of the largest plant-specific superfamilies, play important roles in response to various abiotic stresses. However, functional HD-ZIPs stress tolerance and underlying mechanisms remain relatively limited Miscanthus sinensis. In this study, we isolated an HD-ZIP TF gene, MsHDZ23, from ectopically expressed it Arabidopsis. Transcriptome promoter analyses revealed that MsHDZ23 responded salt, alkali, drought...
During differentiation, the Arabidopsis seed coat epidermal cells synthesize and secrete large quantities of pectinaceous mucilage into apoplast, which is then released to encapsulate upon imbibition.In this study, we showed that mutation in Irregular Xylem 14 (IRX14) led a cohesiveness defect due reduced xylan content.Expression IRX14 was detected specifically cells, reaching peak expression at 13 days post-anthesis (DPA) when accumulation polysaccharides has ceased.Sectioning irx14-1...
Wood formation involves sequential developmental events requiring the coordination of multiple hormones. Brassinosteroids (BRs) play a key role in wood development, but little is known about cellular and molecular processes that underlie tree species. Here, we generated transgenic poplar lines with edited PdBRI1 genes, which are orthologs Arabidopsis vascular-enriched BR receptors, showed how inhibition signaling influences development at mRNA and/or proteome level. Six Populus genes formed...
Summary The fast growth, ease of metabolic labelling and potential for feedstock biofuels production make duckweeds not only an attractive model system understanding plant biology, but also a future crop. However, current duckweed research is constrained by the lack efficient genetic manipulation tools. Here, we report case study on genome editing in species, Lemna aequinoctialis , using transformation CRISPR /Cas9 tool. By optimizing currently available protocols, reduced duration time...
Miscanthus is a promising lignocellulosic bioenergy crop for bioethanol production. To identify candidate genes and regulation networks involved in secondary cell wall (SCW) development Miscanthus, we performed de novo transcriptome analysis of developing internode. According to the histological in-situ histochemical analysis, an elongating internode M. lutarioriparius can be divided into three distinct segments, upper (UI), middle (MI) basal (BI), each representing different stage SCW...
Miscanthus lutarioriparius is a promising lignocellulosic feedstock for second-generation bioethanol production. However, the genomic resource this species relatively limited thus hampers our understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying many important biological processes. In study, we performed first de novo transcriptome analysis five tissues (leaf, stem, root, lateral bud and rhizome bud) M. with an emphasis to identify putative genes involved in development. Approximately 66 gigabase...
Abstract Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a powerful tool for transient functional analysis in plants, especially monocot species (e.g., grasses) that are recalcitrant to transformation. Despite various VIGS systems have been developed different plant species, none was previously available the bioenergy crop Miscanthus. Here, we report establishment of an efficient and robust system mediated by Tobacco Rattle Virus (TRV) We first investigated impact factors may affect efficiency using...
SUMMARY Heat stress is an environmental factor that significantly threatens crop production worldwide. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms governing plant responses to heat are not fully understood. Plant zinc finger CCCH proteins have roles in as well growth and development through protein–RNA, protein–DNA, protein–protein interactions. Here, we reveal integrated multi‐level regulation of thermotolerance mediated by protein C3H15 Arabidopsis. rapidly suppressed transcription, which...
Xylan is the most abundant un-cellulosic polysaccharides of plant cell walls. Much progress in xylan biosynthesis has been gained model species Arabidopsis. Two homologous pairs Irregular Xylem 9 (IRX9)/9L and IRX14/14L from glycosyltransferase (GT) family 43 have proved to play crucial roles backbone biosynthesis. However, grass such as Miscanthus remains poorly understood. We characterized seven GT43 members M. lutarioriparius, a promising bioenergy crop. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR...
Abstract Duckweed is one kind of promising bioenergy plant with prominent advantages such as fast growth rate and high starch content. However, almost all previous studies focused on the natural duckweed germplasms. In this study, heavy‐ion irradiation was used to establish a mutant library Lemna aequinoctialis 6002, named submarine‐1 ( sub‐1 ) screened, which could accumulate more but smaller granules. Unexpectedly, under proper external conditions poor nutritional status insufficient...
The GRAS family genes encode plant-specific transcription factors that play important roles in a diverse range of developmental processes and abiotic stress responses. However, the information gene bioenergy crop Miscanthus has not been available. Here, we report genome-wide identification Micanthus sinensis. A total 123 MsGRAS were identified, which divided into ten subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis. co-linearity analysis revealed 59 experienced segmental duplication, forming 35...
