Summary Land plants contain a large family of genes that encode for pentatricopeptide (PPR) proteins. To date, few these PPR proteins have been functionally characterized. In this study, we analyzed an Arabidopsis mutant, slg1 , which exhibits slow growth and delayed development. addition, shows enhanced response to ABA increased tolerance drought stress. The SLG1 gene encodes protein is localized in mitochondria. the RNA editing single site mitochondrial transcript nad3 abolished. subunit...
Abstract As the important source of natural fibers in textile industry, cotton fiber quality and yield are often restricted to drought conditions because most plants world grow regions with water shortage. WRKY transcription factors regulate multiple plant physiological processes, including stress response. However, little is known how genes respond cotton. Our previous study revealed GhWRKY33 leaf-specific induced by stress. In this study, our data showed protein localizes cell nucleus able...
The endosymbiont-derived Sec-dependent protein sorting pathway is essential for import into the thylakoid lumen and important proper functioning of chloroplast. Two loss-of-function mutants cpSecA, ATPase subunit chloroplast Sec translocation machinery, were analysed in Arabidopsis. homozygous albino seedling lethal under autotrophic conditions remained dwarf infertile with an exogenous carbon supply. They subject to oxidative stress accumulated superoxide normal lighting conditions....

Isoleucine is one of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) that are essential substrates for protein synthesis in all organisms. Although metabolic pathway isoleucine has been well characterized higher plants, it not known whether plays a specific role plant development. In this study, an Arabidopsis mutant, lib (low biosynthesis), defects both cell proliferation and expansion processes during root development, was characterized. The mutant carries T-DNA insertion last exon OMR1 gene...
Abstract Background Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is one of the most serious rice production constraints in areas where prolonged rainfall occurs during harvest. However, molecular mechanisms transcriptional regulation underlying PHS remain largely unknown. Results In current study, comparative transcriptome analyses were performed to characterize similarities and differences between two varieties: PHS-sensitive Jiuxiangzhan (JXZ) PHS-resistant Meixiangxinzhan (MXXZ). The physiological...
Abstract Chloroplast biogenesis is one of the most important subjects in plant biology. In this study, an Arabidopsis early chloroplast mutant with a delayed pale-greening phenotype ( dpg1 ) was isolated from T-DNA insertion collection. Both cotyledons and true leaves mutants were initially albino but gradually became pale green as matured. Transmission electron microscopic observations revealed that displayed proplastid-to-chloroplast transition. Sequence transcription analyses showed...
The genus Scoparia from the Hailuogou Glacier area in south-eastern fringe of Tibetan Plateau south-western China is studied, nine species are revealed by combining DNA barcoding (658 bp mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, COI) and morphology. Studies show that 37.5% as many all previously known congeners China. Six described new to science: simplicissima Li sp. nov., tribulosa longispina gibbosa globosa annulata nov. female metaleucalis for first time herein. All either...
Four species from Galongla Snow Mountain, southeastern Tibet of China are revealed as members the genus Scoparia by combining DNA barcoding (658 bp mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, COI) and morphological characters. Three described new to science: S. varians Li, sp. nov., nussi nov. lii The female simplicissima Li is for first time. All illustrated, including habitat, characters intraspecific variability sexual dimorphism. A map showing localities on Tibetan Plateau, where...

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most commonly seen cardiovascular conditions across globe. Junctional cadherin 5 associated (JCAD) protein found in intercellular junctions endothelial cells and linked to diseases. Nonetheless, influence JCAD on cardiomyocyte injury caused by CHD unclear. A model H 2 O -induced H9c2 cell was constructed, mRNA levels were assessed qRT-PCR Western blot. The impacts proliferation or apoptosis explored CCK-8 assay, blot TUNEL staining. effect...
Abstract Background: The regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis by various factors including sugars, light and abiotic stresses is mediated numerous regulatory acting at the transcriptional level. Here experimental evidence was provided in order to demonstrate that nuclear GARP transcription factor AtGLK1 plays an important role regulating sucrose-induced Arabidopsis. Results: results obtained using real-time quantitative PCR GUS staining assays revealed mainly expressed green tissues...
