We have produced a draft sequence of the rice genome for most widely cultivated subspecies in China, Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica , by whole-genome shotgun sequencing. The was 466 megabases size, with an estimated 46,022 to 55,615 genes. Functional coverage assembled sequences 92.0%. About 42.2% exact 20-nucleotide oligomer repeats, and transposons were intergenic regions between Although 80.6% predicted Arabidopsis thaliana genes had homolog rice, only 49.4% A. . large proportion no...
Summary Rice blast, caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe grisea , is one of most devastating diseases in rice worldwide. The dominant resistance gene, Pi‐d2 [previously named Pi‐d(t)2 ], present variety Digu, confers gene‐for‐gene to Chinese blast strain, ZB15. was previously mapped close centromere chromosome 6. In this study, gene isolated a map‐based cloning strategy. encodes receptor‐like kinase protein with predicted extracellular domain bulb‐type mannose specific binding lectin...
Abstract Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases. The two major subspecies Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.), indica and japonica, have shown obvious differences in blast resistance, but genomic basis that underlies difference not clear. We performed a genomewide comparison class resistant gene family, nucleotide-binding site–leucine-rich repeat (NBS–LRR) between 93-11 (indica) Nipponbare (japonica) with focus on their pseudogene members. found...
Heat stress is a detrimental abiotic limiting the growth of many plant species and associated with various cellular physiological damages. Expansins are family proteins which known to play roles in regulating cell wall elongation expansion, as well other developmental processes. The vitro expansins heat tolerance not understood. objectives this study were isolate clone an expansin gene perennial grass (Poa pratensis) determine whether over-expression may improve tolerance. Tobacco (Nicotiana...
Abstract Polyploidy is a common phenomenon among willow species. In this study, genome sequencing was conducted for Salix matsudana Koidz (also named Chinese willow), an important greening and arbor tree species, the of species compared with those four other in Salicaceae. The total sequence S. 655.72 Mb size, repeated sequences accounting 45.97% length. total, 531.43 could be mapped onto 38 chromosomes using published genetic map as reference. divided into two groups, A B genomes, through...
Polymicrobial biofilms in the human oral cavity exhibit marked diversity. PCR-based denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) surveys microbial diversity by displaying PCR-generated 16S rDNA fragments that migrate at different distances, reflecting differences base-pair ( i.e., % G+C) composition of fragment. This study examined DGGE-generated profiles cultivable bacteria from individuals with caries status. Initially, we developed a set PCR-DGGE running conditions appropriate to...
The rice blast resistance gene Pid3 encodes a nucleotide-binding-site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) protein. This was cloned from the 'Digu' (indica) by performing genome-wide comparison of NBS-LRR family between two genome-sequenced varieties, '9311' and 'Nipponbare' (japonica). In this study, we performed functional analysis Pid3-A4, an ortholog revealed allele mining in common wild A4 (Oryza rufipogon). predicted protein encoded Pid3-A4 shares 99.03% sequence identity with Pid3, only nine...
Phytolacca americana L. (pokeweed) has metal phytoremediation potential, but little is known about its accumulation-related genes. In this study, the de novo sequencing of total RNA produced 53.15 million reads covering 10.63 gigabases transcriptome raw data in cadmium (Cd)-treated and untreated pokeweed. Of 97,502 assembled unigenes, 42,197 had significant matches a public database were annotated accordingly. An expression level comparison between samples revealed 1515 differentially...
Abstract Leaf elongation rate (LER) is an important factor controlling plant growth and productivity. The objective of this study was to determine whether genetic variation in LER for a fast-growing (‘K-31’), dwarf cultivar (‘Bonsai’) tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea ) gibberellic acid (GA) regulation were associated with differential expression cell-expansion genes. Plants treated GA 3 , trinexapac-ethyl (TE) (GA inhibitor), or water (untreated control) hydroponic system. ‘K-31’ 63%...
Microbial residual carbon (MRC) is a key component of soil organic (SOC) and crucial for SOC stabilization, contributing to the formation stable pool. However, accumulation patterns MRC in different plantation forest types remain unclear. In this study, based on principle site condition similarity supported by field investigations, soils from Populus alba, Salix matsudana Koidz, Pinus tabuliformis Beijing were selected as research objects. The physical chemical properties soils, well...
Amyloid light-chain cardiomyopathy (ALCA) is an infiltrative disorder marked by misfolded immunoglobulin deposition in the myocardium, ultimately leading to cardiac dysfunction. Despite its clinical severity, underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we integrated multi-omics analyses of human samples construct a comprehensive cellular and spatial atlas ALCA heart. We observed expansion PTX3+ fibroblasts (FB), which undergo distinct phenotypic transition into pro-fibrotic POSTN+...
Plant tolerance of heat stress involves various changes at physiological and molecular levels. The objective this study was to examine the expression a gene encoding expansin protein in relation two C3 grass species genotypes differing tolerance. Heat-tolerant, thermal Agrostis scabra, adapted high temperatures geothermal areas Yellowstone National Park, subjected 20 °C (control) or 40 (heat stress) for 7 d growth chamber. Differential display analysis identified that gene, AsEXP1, an...
