Although lignin is one of the main components biomass, its pyrolysis chemistry not well understood due to complex heterogeneity.
N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a common epitranscriptional mRNA modification in eukaryotes. Thirteen putative m6A readers, mostly annotated as EVOLUTIONARILY CONSERVED C-TERMINAL REGION (ECT) proteins, have been identified Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), but few characterized. Here, we show that the reader ECT1 modulates salicylic acid (SA)-mediated plant stress responses. undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation vitro, and its N-terminal prion-like domain critical for forming vivo...
Chloroplasts mediate genetically controlled cell death via chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signaling. To decipher the mechanism, we examined chloroplast-linked lesion-mimic mutants of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) deficient in plastid division, thereby developing gigantic chloroplasts (GCs). These GC mutants, including crumpled leaf (crl), constitutively express immune-related genes and show light-dependent localized (LCD), mirroring typical autoimmune responses. Our reverse genetic...
Lignin biosynthesis enzymes form complexes for metabolic channelling during lignification and these also play an essential role in biotic abiotic stress response. Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) is a vital enzyme that catalyses the reduction of aldehydes to alcohols, which final step lignin pathway. In present study, we identified 49 CAD five Bambusoideae species analysed their phylogenetic relationships conserved domains. Expression analysis Moso bamboo PheCAD genes several...
Apple is known to be susceptible various virus and viroid pathogens. Symptomatic apple cultivars rootstocks were collected analyzed by ELISA then through RT-PCR. The study reports the presence of mosaic (ApMV), stem grooving (ASGV), pitting (ASPV), chlorotic leaf spot (ACLSV), major viruses Prunus necrotic ringspot (PNRSV), a minor virus, at molecular level in India. scar skin (ASSVd) infection was also confirmed level. Sporadic incidences Tomato Arabis infections detected nursery plants.
SUMMARY Chloroplast pre‐ribosomal RNA (rRNA) undergoes maturation, which is critical for ribosome assembly. While the central and auxiliary factors in rRNA maturation have been elucidated bacteria, their mode of action remains largely unexplored chloroplasts. We now reveal chloroplast‐specific involved 16S Arabidopsis thaliana orthologs bacterial RsmD methyltransferase (AtRsmD) factor RimM (AtRimM). A forward genetic screen aimed to find suppressors yellow variegated 2 ( var2 ) mutant...
Photorespiration is an energetically costly metabolic pathway in plants that responds to environmental stresses. The molecular basis of the regulation photorespiratory cycle under stress conditions remains unclear. Here, we discovered FERONIA (FER) regulates flow salt Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). FER mutation results hypersensitivity stress, but disruption ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase 1 (GLU1), enzyme participates by producing glutamate, greatly suppresses fer-4 primarily...
Capsicum annuum (sweet pepper or bell pepper), known as simla mirch in India is one of the leading vegetables grown open well under protected cultivation. In Kashmir valley, India, whitefly infestation and begomovirus-like symptoms viz. malformation, leaf curling, vein clearing stunting were observed capsicum plantations (Fig. 1). The incidence cultivation was very high ranging from 10% to 40% whereas field conditions it less than 10%. presence whiteflies called for investigation possible...
Abstract Arylsiloxane was incorporated into polyimide (PI) via electronic interaction with polyamic acid (PAA)/PI, and a wide spectrum of properties were evaluated for different compositions. The samples prepared relatively low concentrations (0.0001–0.1%) oligomers showed unusual synergism, which is attributed to the generation nanostructures dispersed in continuous PI matrix. incorporation siloxane bulky phenyl groups contributed enhanced thermal stability as determined by...
Abstract Movement protein (MP) of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) belongs to “30 K” superfamily proteins and members this family are known show a wide array functions. In the present study gene was found be genetically unstable in E. coli when transformed DH5α cells were grown at 28 °C 37 °C. However, genetic instability not encountered 20 Heterologous over expression failed despite use different transcriptional promoters translational fusion constructs. Total cell lysate subjected...
