Abstract Gene duplication followed by functional specialization is a potent force in the evolution of biological diversity. A comparative study two highly conserved duplicated genes, ARABIDOPSIS TRITHORAX-LIKE PROTEIN1 (ATX1) and ATX2, revealed features both partial redundancy divergence. Although structurally similar, their regulatory sequences have diverged, resulting distinct temporal spatial patterns expression ATX1 ATX2 genes. We found that methylates only limited fraction nucleosomes...
The Arabidopsis homolog of trithorax, ATX1, regulates numerous functions in beyond the homeotic genes. Here, we identified genome-wide targets ATX1 and showed that is a receptor for lipid messenger, phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate, PI5P. PI5P negatively affects activity, suggesting regulatory pathway connecting lipid-signaling with nuclear functions. We propose model to illustrate how plants may respond stimuli (external or internal) elevate cellular levels by altering expression ATX1-controlled
Soil salinity and the scarcity of freshwater resources are two most common environmental constraints that negatively affect plant growth productivity worldwide. The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) is moderately sensitive to salinity. identification salinity-responsive genes in control long-term salt tolerance could provide important guidelines for its breeding programs genetic engineering. In this study, a holistic approach RNA sequencing combined with measurements physiological...
Abstract The Dromedary camel has a remarkable history amongst cultures across Asia and northern Africa, serving multiple purposes ranging from providing milk, textiles, racing, acting as pack animals. Recent genetic studies have revealed that many dromedaries are genetically homogenous, indicating they do not represent different breeds, advocating for ‘type’ over ‘breed’. In this study, we leveraged whole genome sequencing (WGS) to sequence 15 Jordanian Alia camels the first time, alongside...
<title>Abstract</title> The pathogenesis-related protein 5(PR-5) gene family plays a role in multiple biological processes within plants. To develop resistant potato varieties, it is crucial to understand the molecular defense mechanisms against <italic>Phytophthora infestans</italic> pathogen, particularly (PR) family, specifically PR-5. In this study, we conducted comprehensive analysis of PR-5 potatoes at genome-wide level and investigated their during <italic>P. infection by examining...
Background Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family that includes more than 800 species. The cucumber genome has been recently sequenced and annotated. Transcriptomics sequencing of many plant genomes are providing information on candidate genes potentially related agronomically important traits. To accelerate functional characterization these in we have generated an EMS mutant population can be used as a TILLinG platform for reverse genetics. Principal Findings A 3,331...
Plants respond to environmental stresses by altering transcription of genes involved in the response. The chromatin modifier ATX1 regulates expression a large number genes; consequently, factors that affect activity would also influence from ATX1-regulated genes. Here, we demonstrate dehydration is such factor implicating plant's response drought. In addition, report hitherto unknown Arabidopsis gene, At3g10550, encodes phosphoinositide 3'-phosphatase related animal myotubularins (AtMTM1)....
This study aimed to develop novel SSR markers in tomato. Several BAC clones along chromosome 3 tomato were selected based on their content. The criteria was the availability of genes, either directly or indirectly related stress response (drought, salinity, and heat) A total 20 silico developed 96 important nearby genes identified. identified represent different involved plant growth development biotic abiotic tolerance. assessed using landraces. 29 determinate semi-determinate local...
The presence of Supressor variegation-Enhanser zeste-Trithorax (SET) domain genes in bacteria is a current paradigm for lateral genetic exchange between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Because major function SET proteins the chemical modification chromatin do not have chromatin, there no apparent functional requirement existence bacterial genes. Consequently, their finding only small fraction pathogenic symbiotic was taken as evidence that obtained from hosts. Furthermore, it proposed products...
A new approach for locating single-copy DNA sequences on pachytene chromosomes of maize (Zea mays L.) was developed. cosmid clone with homologous to a molecular marker (umc105a) linked quantitative trait locus (QTL) resistance against sugarcane borer (SCB) physically mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) the short arm chromosome 9. The umc105a genetically placed centromeric region. To suppress signals generated repetitive DNA, competitive suppression (CISS) necessary obtain...
Different abiotic stresses recruit dedicated signaling and regulatory genes in plants. Genome-wide stress-specific biomarkers were investigated tomatoes. Three major compared: drought, heat, salinity. For each stress type, 2 different tomato lines included: susceptible tolerant. Gene expression was examined by hybridizing to an available microarray. Several responsive upregulated tolerant as well for stress. Comparative analysis of gene response (drought, or salinity) resolved a number...
The DUF668 gene performs a critical role in mitigating the impact of abiotic stress factors. In this study, we identified 30 genes soybean genome, distributed across fifteen chromosomes. phylogenetic analysis classified into three groups (group I, group II, and III). Interestingly, structure illustrated that several GmDUF668 were without introns. Furthermore, subcellular localization results suggested proteins present nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, plasma membrane. promoters analyzed...
Dehydrins are a group of proteins whose expression is associated with plant abiotic stresses and seed maturation. The full AhDHN dehydrin gene from Mediterranean saltbush (Atriplex halimus) was cloned characterized. amino acid sequence revealed 1 S-segment, 3 K-segments (K1, K2, K3), transmembrane pore-lining signature. It 26.77-kDa protein predicted isoelectric point 6.14. Phylogenetic analysis the clustered it other related plants belonging to family Amaranthaceae canescens, Spinacia...
