Starch within the endosperm of most species Triticeae has a unique bimodal granule morphology comprising large lenticular A-type granules and smaller near-spherical B-type granules. However, few wild wheat (Aegilops) are known to lack B-granules. Ae. peregrina synthetic tetraploid Aegilops with same genome composition (SU) were found differ in B-granule number. The had normal A- starch whilst only A-granules because B-granules failed initiate. A population segregating for number was...

Abstract Solanum lycopersicum is highly susceptible to drought, which negatively impacts its production. While traditional genetic improvement focuses on coding genes, small open reading frames (sORFs) offer a new approach. This study aimed identify and characterise drought-responsive sORFs in MT1 tomato plants exposed 20 days of drought stress. Using the sORF finder pipeline, 676,611 were identified intergenic regions S. genome. Detailed analysis revealed 776 with translation potential,...
Conventional stirred-tank bioreactor (STR) designs are optimised for cultures of bacteria but not fungal cultures; therefore, a new Air-L-Shaped Bioreactor (ALSB) was fabricated. The ALSB designed to eliminate the wall growth and clumping mycelium in STRs. Ganoderma lucidum used as model its biomass exopolysaccharide (EPS) production were maximised by optimising agitation rate, glucose concentration, initial pH, aeration via response surface methodology (RSM). system generated 7.8 g/L...
Type 2C protein phosphatase (PP2C) is a central player in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling transduction, which required for plant growth, development and stress responses. In Arabidopsis, group A PP2Cs inhibit activity of the SNF1-related kinases 2 (SnRK2) family via physical interaction. To clarify whether this scheme conserved woody plants, we experimentally isolated genes homologous to three members (PtABI1, PtAHG1 PtAHG3) 12 SnRK2s (PtSnRK2.1–2.12) from model tree Populus trichocarpa,...
ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different shading regimes [i.e., 60% (heavy), 30% (moderate), and 0% (control)] on 25 traits associated with morphological features, photosynthetic gas exchange agronomic characteristics winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus), an underutilized protein-rich legume from tropics. Collectively, 80% studied variables displayed significant differences (P<0.05) between at least two shade treatments. Shading generally showed...
The Tracheary Element Differentiation-Related6 (TED6) and TED7 membrane proteins function in the differentiation of xylem vessel elements, cellular units for water conduction angiosperm plants. Functional analysis TED6 had suggested that these directly bind to a subunit secondary cell wall (SCW)-related cellulose synthase complex, promote SCW formation elements. However, whether elements only, or broadly other types has remained unclear. To clarify this, we conducted detailed expression...
Seed dormancy is a trait that promotes the survival of weedy rice (Oryza sativa L.) in seed bank. Weedy displays different level depending on several factors including genetic control. Determining status crucial to understand adaptive mechanism weed agroecosystem especially tropic regions. To investigate degree rice, 66 samples were collected from Selangor fields. The was determined by standard germination test at 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 56, 63, and 284 days after imbibition. >200d room...
Bananas (Musa spp.), which serve millions of people worldwide, face a serious threat from Fusarium wilt (FW) disease caused by oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc). Developing disease-resistant varieties particularly through breeding is challenging due to banana's seedless nature (parthenocarpic). As an alternative, cold plasma (CP) technology, has the potential be used for crop improvement. Our study demonstrates favourable impact CP on growth performance banana (Berangan cultivar, AAA) in terms...
Plant systems have now gained much attention as they provide low risk of pathogen contamination and cost production, appropriate post-translational modification, multimeric assembly capability compared to the mammalian bacterial hosts. In this study, we aimed produce single-chain fragment antibody (scFv) encoding anti-Toxoplasma proteins, TP60 in Nicotiana tabacum cv. SR1. Leaf explants N. were infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harbouring binary vector pCAMBIA1304...
