Plants largely rely on plasma membrane (PM)-resident receptor-like kinases (RLKs) to sense extracellular and intracellular stimuli coordinate cell differentiation, growth, immunity. Several RLKs have been shown undergo internalization through the endocytic pathway with a poorly understood mechanism. Here, we show that endocytosis protein abundance of Arabidopsis brassinosteroid (BR) receptor, BR INSENSITIVE1 (BRI1), are regulated by plant U-box (PUB) E3 ubiquitin ligase PUB12- PUB13-mediated...
OsGBSSI, encoded by the Waxy (Wx) gene, is key enzyme in synthesis of amylose chains. Transgenic rice lines with various GBSSI activities were previously developed via site-directed mutagenesis Wx gene glutinous cultivar Guanglingxiangnuo (GLXN). In this study, grain morphology, molecular structure, and physicochemical properties investigated four transgenic modified OsGBSSI activity differences content. A milky opaque appearance was observed low- non-amylose grains due to air spaces starch...
Abstract Sessile plants encode a large number of small peptides and cell surface-resident receptor kinases, most which have unknown functions. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis kinase MALE DISCOVERER 1-INTERACTING RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE 2 (MIK2) recognizes conserved signature motif SERINE-RICH ENDOGENOUS PEPTIDEs (SCOOPs) from Brassicaceae as well proteins present in fungal Fusarium spp. bacterial Comamonadaceae , elicits various immune responses. SCOOP trigger responses altered root...
Abstract Soil salinization and alkalization disrupt redox homeostasis, impairing plant survival crop production. Disruption of homeostasis can cause accumulation reactive nitrogen species, such as nitric oxide (NO), which causes nitrosative damage in the properties biomacromolecules are altered. It is unclear whether melatonin regulates NO thereby affecting saline-alkali tolerance. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), excess caused by stress resulted damage, was alleviated S-nitrosoglutathione...
For the widely deployed ECN-based congestion control schemes, marking threshold is key to deliver high bandwidth and low latency. However, due traffic dynamics in high-speed production networks, it difficult maintain persistent performance by using static ECN setting. To meet operational challenge, this paper we report design implementation of an automatic run-time optimization scheme, ACC, which leverages multi-agent reinforcement learning technique dynamically adjust at each switch. The...
Summary The rice Waxy ( Wx ) gene encodes granule‐bound starch synthase 1 EC 2.4.1.242), Os GBSS 1, which is responsible for amylose synthesis in seed endosperm. In this study, we determined the functional contribution of eight amino acids on activity by introducing site‐directed mutated constructs into wx mutant glutinous rice. acid residues are suspected to play roles structure maintenance or function based homologous enzyme sequence alignment and homology modelling. Both content were...
Soil microbial communities hold great potential for sustainable and ecologically compatible agriculture. Although numerous plant-beneficial bacterial strains from a wide range of taxonomic groups have been reported, very little evidence is available on the role bacteria genus Caulobacter. Here, mode action Caulobacter strain, designated RHG1, which had originally identified through screen plant growth-promoting (PGP) in maize (Zea mays), investigated Arabidopsis thaliana. RHG1 colonized both...
Abstract Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) and its core endocytic machinery are evolutionarily conserved across all eukaryotes. In mammals, the heterotetrameric adaptor protein complex-2 (AP-2) sorts plasma membrane (PM) cargoes into vesicles via recognition of motifs based on Tyr or di-Leu in their cytoplasmic tails. However, plants, very little is known about how PM proteins sorted for CME whether similar required. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), brassinosteroid (BR) receptor BR...
The brassinosteroid (BR) hormone and its plasma membrane (PM) receptor BR INSENSITIVE1 (BRI1) are one of the best-studied receptor-ligand pairs for understanding interplay between endocytosis signaling in plants. is mainly determined by PM pool BRI1, whereas BRI1 ensures signal attenuation. As BRs ubiquitously distributed plant, tools available to study function without interference from endogenous limited. Here, we designed a binding-deficient Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutant based...
Sugar allocation between vegetative and reproductive tissues is vital to plant development, sugar transporters play fundamental roles in this process. Although several transcription factors have been identified that control their levels, the way which expression of transporter genes controlled at posttranscriptional level unknown. In study, we showed OsRRM, an RNA-binding protein, modulates on source-to-sink route. The OsRRM pattern partly resembles factor specifically affect gene...
Abstract The mechanism of cellulose synthesis has been studied by characterizing the motility synthase complexes tagged with a fluorescent protein; however, this approach used exclusively on hypocotyl Arabidopsis thaliana . Here we characterize in model grass, Brachypodium distachyon We generated lines which mEGFP is fused N-terminal to BdCESA3 or BdCESA6 and grew indistinguishably from wild type (Bd21-3) had dense puncta at near plasma membrane. Measured particle tracking algorithm, average...
OsRRMh, a homologue of OsRRM, encodes Spen-like protein, and is composed two N-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRM) one C-terminal Spen paralogue an orthologue domain (SPOC). The gene has been found to be constitutively expressed in the root, stem, leaf, spikelet, immature seed, alternative splicing patterns were confirmed different tissues, which may indicate diverse functions for OsRRMh. OsRRMh dsRNAi lines exhibited late-flowering larger panicle phenotype. When full-length and/or its...
Isolation of proteins that specifically interact with a given RNA or regulation element is essential for studies on the molecular mechanisms gene expression. Here, novel method direct isolation such interacting described. It uses an affinity medium consists artificially added ‘tail’, which annealed to one end DNA ‘arm’, other fixed covalently surface aminosilanized glass powder. Thus itself fully suspending, facilitating its interactions in natural conformation. The bound are eluted and...
Abstract Soil salinity-alkalinity is a global problem with special relevance to land resources. Although melatonin confers multiple tolerances plants, its role in saline-alkali tolerance remains unclear. Here, we found that excess nitric oxide (NO) accumulation accounts for stress by genetically manipulating the NO metabolic enzyme of S -nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR). A caffeic acid O-methyltransferase ( COMT ) was identified enhance synthesis and scavenging improve tolerance. As...

Brassinosteroid (BR) hormones regulate various physiological and developmental processes in plants. BR signaling is primarily influenced by the abundance of receptor INSENSITIVE1 (BRI1) at plasma membrane, a process regulated ubiquitination, endocytosis, protein degradation. Despite extensive research, only few negative regulators BRI1 internalization ubiquitination have been identified. In this study, we show that 14-3-3 proteins, which are conserved regulatory proteins eukaryotes, directly...
