Drought represents a major constraint on maize production worldwide. Understanding the genetic basis for natural variation in drought tolerance of may facilitate efforts to improve this trait cultivated germplasm. Here, using genome-wide association study, we show that miniature inverted-repeat transposable element (MITE) inserted promoter NAC gene (ZmNAC111) is significantly associated with tolerance. The 82-bp MITE represses ZmNAC111 expression via RNA-directed DNA methylation and H3K9...
The worldwide production of maize (Zea mays L.) is frequently impacted by water scarcity and as a result, increased drought tolerance priority target in breeding programs. While DREB transcription factors have been demonstrated to play central role desiccation tolerance, whether or not natural sequence variations these genes are associated with the phenotypic variability this trait largely unknown. In present study, eighteen ZmDREB B73 genome were cloned systematically analyzed determine...
Abstract Background Gene expression is a key determinant of cellular response. Natural variation in gene bridges genetic to phenotypic alteration. Identification the regulatory variants controlling response drought, major environmental threat crop production worldwide, great value for drought-tolerant identification. Results A total 627 RNA-seq analyses are performed 224 maize accessions which represent wide diversity under three water regimes; 73,573 eQTLs detected about 30,000 expressing...
The Teosinte-branched 1/Cycloidea/Proliferating (TCP) plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) have been demonstrated to play a fundamental role in plant development and organ patterning. However, it remains unknown whether or not the TCP gene family plays conferring tolerance drought stress maize, which is major constraint maize production. In this study, we identified 46 ZmTCP genes genome systematically analyzed their phylogenetic relationships synteny with rice, sorghum, Arabidopsis...
Abstract Cathaya argyrophylla is an endangered conifer restricted to subtropical mountains of China. To study phylogeographical pattern and demographic history C . , species‐wide genetic variation was investigated using sequences maternally inherited mtDNA biparentally nuclear DNA. Of 15 populations sampled from all four distinct regions, only three mitotypes were detected at two loci, without single region having a mixed composition ( G ST = 1). Average nucleotide diversity (θ ws 0.0024; π...
Background: The resistance of glioma patients to temozolomide (TMZ) treatment is a limiting factor in clinical treatment. Circular RNA HIPK3 (circ-HIPK3) was found be highly expressed glioma, however, the role and potential mechanism exosomal circ-HIPK3 from TMZ-resistant cells remain poorly unclear. Methods: Exosomes were characterized by transmission electron microscopy. levels all protein detected Western blot. Expression circ-HIPK3, microRNA-421 (miR-421), zinc finger cerebellum 5 (ZIC5)...
Reliance on agriculture for food security is a constant in all modern societies. Global climate change and population growth have put immense pressure sustainable agriculture, exacerbating the effects of environmental stresses. Drought one most pressing abiotic stresses that farmers face, presenting an annual threat to crop yield. Crops evolved extensive morphological, physiological, molecular mechanisms combat drought stress. resistance polygenic trait, controlled by complex genetic network...
Abstract Carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as an exceptional material for the emission layer in new generation of electroluminescent light‐emitting diodes (ELEDs) owing to their low cost, high stability, and luminous efficiency. Although blue CDs‐based ELEDs a wide bandgap exciton utilization efficiency (EUE), it is still challenging increase external quantum (EQE). thermally activated delayed fluorescence triplet‐triplet annihilation may improve EUE, design complicated by significant charge...
The eukaryotic core exosome (CE) is a conserved nine-subunit protein complex important for 3' end trimming and degradation of RNA. In yeast, the Rrp44 constitutively associates with CE provides sole source processive 3'-to-5' exoribonuclease activity. Here we present EM reconstructions Rrp44-bound complexes. two-lobed binds to RNase PH domain side buttresses bottom exosome-processing chamber. C-terminal body part containing an II-type active site anchored through set interactions mainly...
Abstract Fat‐tailed sheep have a unique characteristic of depositing fat in their tails. In the present study, we conducted genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) on traits related to tail deposition and body size Hulun Buir sheep. A total number 300 individuals belonging two fat‐tailed lines breed genotyped with Ovine Infinium HD SNP BeadChip were included current study. Two mixed models, one for continuous binary phenotypic traits, employed analyse ten that is, length (BL), height (BH),...
Fusarium head blight (FHB), a serious disease in wheat, causes significant reductions grain yield and quality worldwide. Marker-assisted selection can provide an effective tool for improving FHB resistance. Although many quantitative trait loci associated with resistance to have been reported, few are currently available breeding programs. The middle lower reaches of the Yangtze River China areas that historically experienced epidemics, so some local varieties may contain valuable genes...
The success of modern maize breeding has been demonstrated by remarkable increases in productivity with tremendous modification agricultural phenotypes over the last century. Although underlying genetic changes adaptation from tropical to temperate regions have extensively studied, our knowledge is limited regarding accordance protein and mRNA expression levels accompanying such adaptation. Here we conducted an integrative analysis proteomic transcriptomic a association panel. minimum extent...
Genome-wide association study (GWAS), exploring the historical and evolutionary recombinations at population level, is a major method adopted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for complex traits. However, summarize GWAS results, gene structure, linkage disequilibrium (LD) in single view, multiple tools are required. It tedious generate these three results manually put them together; moreover, it may eventually lead inaccuracies. On other hand, genotype markers usually detected by...
Global maize cultivation is often adversely affected by drought stress. The CC-type glutaredoxin (GRX) genes form a plant-specific subfamily that regulate plant growth and respond to environmental stresses. However, how GRX (ZmGRXCC) stress remains unclear. We performed TBLASTN search identify ZmGRXCCs in the genome verified identified sequences using NCBI conservative domain database (CDD). further established phylogenetic tree Mega7 surveyed known cis-elements promoters of PlantCARE...
Abstract Background Kernel weight, controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL), is an important component of grain yield in maize. Cytokinins (CKs) participate determining morphology and final crops. ZmIPT2 , which expressed mainly the basal transfer cell layer, endosperm, embryo during maize kernel development, encodes isopentenyl transferase (IPT) that involved CK biosynthesis. Results The coding region was sequenced across a panel 175 inbred lines are currently used Chinese breeding...
Soybean is one of the world's major vegetative oil sources, while oleic acid and linolenic content are quality traits soybean oil. The restricted two-stage multi-locus genome-wide association analysis (RTM-GWAS), characterized with error false-positive control, has provided a potential approach for relatively thorough detection whole-genome QTL-alleles. Chinese landrace population (CSLRP) composed 366 accessions was tested under four environments to identify QTL-allele constitution seed oil,...
