Members of the myocyte enhancer factor–2 (MEF2) family MADS (MCM1, agamous, deficiens, serum response factor)–box transcription factors bind an A-T–rich DNA sequence associated with muscle-specific genes. The murine MEF2C gene is expressed in heart precursor cells before formation linear tube. In mice homozygous for a null mutation , tube did not undergo looping morphogenesis, future right ventricle form, and subset cardiac muscle genes was expressed. absence ventricular region mutant...
Melatonin is a well-known agent that plays multiple roles in animals. Its possible function plants less clear. In the present study, we tested effect of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) on soybean growth and development. Coating seeds with significantly promoted as judged from leaf size plant height. This enhancement was also observed production their fatty acid content. increased pod number seed number, but not 100-seed weight. improved tolerance to salt drought stresses....
WRKY-type transcription factors are involved in multiple aspects of plant growth, development and stress response. WRKY genes have been found to be responsive abiotic stresses; however, their roles tolerance largely unknown especially crops. Here, we identified stress-responsive from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) studied functions tolerance. Forty-three putative TaWRKY were two stress-induced genes, TaWRKY2 TaWRKY19, further characterized. TaWRKY19 nuclear proteins, displayed specific binding...
To cope with environmental stresses, plants often adopt a memory response upon primary stress exposure to facilitate quicker and stronger reaction recurring stresses. However, it remains unknown whether light is involved in the manifestation of memory. Proline accumulation striking metabolic adaptation higher during various Here we show that salinity-induced proline memorable HY5-dependent signaling required for such response. Primary salt induced expression Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate...
The Arabidopsis thaliana GLABRA2 (GL2) gene encodes a transcription factor involved in the cell differentiation of various epidermal tissues. During root hair pattern formation, GL2 suppresses development non-hair cells, acting as node between regulatory networks for fate determination and differentiation. Despite importance function, its molecular basis remains obscure because target genes leading to network are unknown. We identified five basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) (ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE6...
WRKY transcription factors play important roles in response to various abiotic stresses. Previous study have proved that soybean GmWRKY54 can improve stress tolerance transgenic Arabidopsis. Here, we generated plants and further investigated biological mechanisms of drought stress. We demonstrated expression GmWRKY54, driven by either a constitutive promoter (pCm) or drought-induced (RD29a), confers tolerance. is transcriptional activator affects large number stress-related genes as revealed...
Soybean is one of the most important oil crops. The regulatory genes involved in accumulation are largely unclear. We initiated studies to identify that regulate this process.One MYB-type gene GmMYB73 was found display differential expression soybean seeds different developing stages by microarray analysis and further investigated for its functions lipid accumulation. a small protein with single MYB repeat has similarity CPC-like proteins from Arabidopsis. interacted GL3 EGL3, then...
Plant homeodomain (PHD) finger proteins affect processes of growth and development by changing transcription reading epigenetic histone modifications, but their functions in abiotic stress responses remain largely unclear. Here we characterized seven Arabidopsis thaliana Alfin1-like PHD (ALs) terms the to stresses. ALs localized nucleus repressed transcription. Except AL6, all bound G-rich elements. Mutations amino acids at positions 34 35 AL6 caused loss ability bind Expression AL genes...
Plant homeodomain (PHD) finger proteins are involved in various developmental processes and stress responses. They recognize bind to epigenetically modified histone H3 tail function as code readers. Here we report that GmPHD6 reads low methylated H3K4me0/1/2 but not H3K4me3 with its N-terminal domain instead of the PHD finger. does possess transcriptional regulatory ability has DNA-binding ability. Through finger, interacts coactivator, LHP1-1/2, form a activation complex. Using transgenic...
Ethylene receptor is the first component of ethylene signaling that regulates plant growth, development and stress responses. Previously, we have demonstrated tobacco subfamily 2 NTHK1 had Ser/Thr kinase activity, overexpression caused large rosette, reduced sensitivity, increased salt sensitivity in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Here found N-box mutation domain abolished activity led to disruption roles conferring sensitive response However, partial effects on regulation rosette growth...
Plant-specific DOF (DNA-binding with one finger)-type transcription factors regulate various biological processes. In the present study we characterized a silique-abundant gene AtDOF (Arabidopsis thaliana DOF) 4.2 for its functions in Arabidopsis. AtDOF4.2 is localized nuclear region and has transcriptional activation activity both yeast plant protoplast assays. The T-M-D motif essential activation. AtDOF4.2-overexpressing plants exhibit an increased branching phenotype mutation of...
The Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) seed provides a rich source of carbohydrates as food and feed. However, little is known about starch biosynthesis in the seeds. objectives this study were to determine composition profiles identify genes involved sucrose metabolism. Metabolite analysis showed that was major component rapidly accumulated during endosperm development. Amylopectin approximately 3-fold amylose content starch. Illumina platform-based transcriptome sequencing generated...
Salt stress is an important limiting factor of crop production. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) model for studying tolerance to various abiotic stressors. Therefore, examining the response foxtail salt at molecular level critical. Herein, we discovered that SiDi19-3 interacts with SiPLATZ12 control in transgenic Arabidopsis and seedlings. overexpression increased transcript levels most Na+/H+ antiporter (NHX), overly sensitive (SOS), calcineurin B-like protein (CBL) genes improved...
The molecular mechanisms underlying the variation in N-use efficiency (NUE) pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) genotypes are poorly understood. In this work, two (750-1, low-N tolerant; ZCFB, sensitive) with contrasting tolerance were selected from 100 cultivars on basis of their relative leaf areas, shoot dry weights, root and plant weights at seedling stage. Subsequently, using RNA-Seq, transcriptome these under N starvation for 28 days was analyzed. We detected 2621/2470 3936/4218 different...
The investigation of beyond-Standard-Model particles is a compelling direction in the pursuit new physics. One such hypothetical particle, magnetic monopole, has garnered considerable attention due to its strong theoretical motivation and potential unveil profound physical phenomena. monopole intricately linked long-standing enigma surrounding quantization electric charge. In this manuscript, we propose novel detection scenario for monopoles by employing coincidence measurement technique...
