Abstract Background WRKY transcription factors are involved in plant responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses. Arabidopsis WRKY18, WRKY40, WRKY60 interact physically functionally defense responses. However, their role stress response has not been directly analyzed. Results We report that the three WRKYs abscisic acid (ABA) stress. Through analysis of single, double, triple mutants overexpression lines for genes, we have shown WRKY18 a positive effect on ABA sensitivity inhibition seed...
Abstract Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera,2n = 32), a member of genus Cocos and family Arecaceae (Palmaceae), is an important tropical fruit oil crop. Currently, coconut cultivated in 93 countries, including Central South America, East West Africa, Southeast Asia the Pacific Islands, with total growth area more than 12 million hectares [1]. generally classified into 2 main categories: “Tall” (flowering 8–10 years after planting) “Dwarf” 4–6 planting), based on morphological characteristics...
Background Cocos nucifera (coconut), a member of the Arecaceae family, is an economically important woody palm grown in tropical regions. Despite its agronomic importance, previous germplasm assessment studies have relied solely on morphological and agronomical traits. Molecular biology techniques been scarcely used genetic resources for improvement quality traits nucifera, mostly due to absence available sequence information. Methodology/Principal Findings To provide basic information...
Abstract Background Coconut is an important tropical oil and fruit crop whose evolutionary position renders it a fantastic species for the investigation of evolution monocot chromosomes subsequent differentiation ancient plants. Results Here, we report assembly annotation reference-grade genomes Cn. tall dwarf , genome sizes are 2.40 Gb 2.39 Gb, respectively. The comparative analysis reveals that two coconut subspecies diverge about 2–8 Mya while conserved Arecaceae-specific whole-genome...
The coconut is an important tropical economical crop and exhibits high tolerance to various types of salinity stress. However, little known about the molecular mechanism underlying its salt tolerance. In this study, RNA-Seq was applied examine different genes expressed in four varieties when exposed a environment, resulting generation data for 48 transcriptomes. Comparative transcriptome analysis showed that some involved cutin wax biosynthesis were significantly upregulated treatment...
Abstract Coconut ( Cocos nucifera ) is the emblematic palm of tropical coastal areas all around globe. It provides vital resources to millions farmers. In an effort better understand its evolutionary history and develop genomic tools for improvement, a sequence draft was recently released. Here, we present dense linkage map (8402 SNPs) aiming assemble large genome coconut (2.42 Gbp, 2n = 32) into 16 pseudomolecules. As result, 47% sequences (representing 77% genes) were assigned groups...
African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is an important crop grown in tropical region and sensitive to low temperature along with high tolerance salt drought stresses. Since the WRKY transcription factor family plays central roles regulation of plant stress tolerance, 95 genes belonging were identified characterized genome. Gene structure analysis showed that EgWRKY have considerable variation intron number (0 12) gene length (477bp 89,167 bp). Duplicated identification indicated 32 originated...
Abstract Morinda officinalis is a well-known medicinal and edible plant that widely cultivated in the Lingnan region of southern China. Its dried roots (called bajitian traditional Chinese medicine) are broadly used to treat various diseases, such as impotence rheumatism. Here, we report high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly M. using Nanopore single-molecule sequencing Hi-C technology. The assembled size was 484.85 Mb with scaffold N50 40.97 Mb, 90.77% sequences were anchored on...
Elaeis guineensis as a tropical oil-crop is particularly sensitive to low temperature. Improvement of cold-tolerance may significantly increase the total cultivation area this worldwide. We sequenced cold-treated and control (untreated) samples guineensis. De novo assembly generated 51,452 unigenes with an average length 703 bp. Subsequently, these expressed sequences were functionally annotated. In K category (transcription factors) COG (Cluster Orthologous Group) annotation, largest...
Abstract Coconut palm has two distinct types—“tall” and “dwarf”—which differ morphologically. Tall coconut varieties need 8–10 years to start flowering, while dwarf only require 3–5 years. We compared seedling reproductive stage transcriptomes for both types determine potential molecular mechanisms underlying control of flowering time in coconut. Several key genes the photoperiod pathway were differentially expressed between leaf samples tall These included suppressor overexpression constans...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in a wide range species. Highly conserved miRNAs regulate ancestral transcription factors common to all plants, and control basic processes such as cell division meristem function. We selected 21 miRNA families analyze distribution maintenance miRNAs. Recently, first genome sequence Palmaceae was released: date palm (Phoenix dactylifera). conducted systematic analysis palm, computationally...
Abstract Inflammation is one of the critical risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, mechanisms transition from colitis to CRC remain elusive. Recently, epigenetic changes have emerged as important regulatory colitis‐associated cancer. Here, a systematic epigenomic study histone modifications performed, including H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K27ac, H3K27me3 and H3K9me3, in an AOM‐DSS‐induced mouse model. In combination with transcriptomic data, authors generate dataset 105 deep sequencing...
The genus Dioscorea is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, economically important terms of food supply pharmaceutical applications. However, DNA barcodes are relatively unsuccessful discriminating between species, with the highest discrimination rate (23.26%) derived from matK sequences. In this study, we compared genic intergenic regions three chloroplast genomes found that density SNPs indels sites was about twice seven times higher than respectively. A total 52 primer...
Reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a widely used and reproducible method for studying gene expression changes. However, its accuracy reliability highly dependent on the normalization step. Cocos nucifera L., perennial palm with long productive life span, frequently exposed to soil atmospheric drought other stresses. In applying analysis understand coconut stress responses, validation of suitable reference genes an important first this study, seven...
