RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most abundant form of epigenetic in eukaryotes. Given that m6A evolution associated with selective constraints nucleotide sequences mammalian genomes, we hypothesize can be linked, at least part, to genomic duplication events complex polyploid plant genomes. To test this hypothesis, presented maize (Zea mays) landscape a transcriptome-wide manner and identified 11,968 peaks carried by 5,893 3,811 genes from two subgenomes (maize1 maize2,...
Summary Dehydrins are a type of late embryogenesis abundant protein. Some dehydrins involved in the response to various abiotic stresses. Accumulation enhances drought, cold and salt tolerances transgenic plants, although underlying mechanism is unclear. MtCAS31 ( Medicago Truncatula cold‐acclimation specific protein 31) Y 2 K 4 ‐type dehydrin that was isolated from truncatula . We analyzed subcellular histochemical localization , expression patterns under different Transgenic Arabidopsis...
Crops are often subjected to periods of drought stress during their life cycle. However, how response mechanisms contribute the crosstalk between signaling pathways and developmental is still unknown. We built a gene co-expression network from spatio-temporal transcriptomic map in maize (Zea mays), profiled three tissues four stages characterized hub genes associated with duplication events, selection, regulatory networks. Co-expression analysis grouped drought-response into ten modules,...
Cold acclimation is an important process by which plants respond to low temperature and enhance their winter hardiness. C-REPEAT BINDING FACTOR1 (CBF1), CBF2, CBF3 genes were shown previously participate in cold Medicago truncatula. In addition, MtCBF4 transcriptionally induced salt, drought, stresses. We show here that MtCBF4, drought salt tolerance, also positively regulates freezing tolerance. To identify molecular factors acting upstream downstream of the transcription factor (TF)...
The entire world is facing a deteriorating environment. Understanding the mechanisms underlying plant responses to external abiotic stresses important for breeding stress-tolerant crops and herbages. Phytohormones play critical regulatory roles in plants response internal cues regulate growth development. Medicago falcata one of candidate leguminous species able fix atmospheric nitrogen. This ability allows grow nitrogen deficient soils.We performed Illumina sequencing cDNA prepared from...
Abstract Epigenetic modifications play important roles in genome evolution and innovation. However, most analyses have focused on the evolutionary role of DNA modifications, little is understood about influence posttranscriptional RNA evolution. To explore significance we generated transcriptome-wide profiles N6-methyladenosine (m6A), prevalent internal modification mRNA, for 13 representative plant species spanning over half a billion years These data reveal conservation divergence m6A...
Despite considerable advances in extracting crucial insights from bio-omics data to unravel the intricate mechanisms underlying complex traits, absence of a universal multi-modal computational tool with robust interpretability for accurate phenotype prediction and identification trait-associated genes remains challenge. This study introduces dual-extraction modeling (DEM) approach, deep-learning architecture designed extract representative features heterogeneous omics datasets, enabling...
The evolutionary dynamics and tissue specificity of protein-coding genes are well documented in plants. However, the consequences small RNAs (sRNAs) on tissue-specific functions remain poorly understood. Here, we performed integrated analysis 195 deeply sequenced sRNA libraries maize B73, representing more than 10 tissues, identified a comprehensive list 419 microRNA (miRNA) genes, 271 which were newly discovered this study. We further characterized miRNA corresponding isoforms (isomiRs)....
Abstract Background Medicago truncatula has been chosen as a model species for genomic studies. It is closely related to an important legume, alfalfa. Transporters are large group of membrane-spanning proteins. They deliver essential nutrients, eject waste products, and assist the cell in sensing environmental conditions by forming complex system pumps channels. Although studies have effectively characterized individual M. transporters several databases, until now there no available...
The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies has led to the production a significant amount omics data in plants, which serves as valuable assets for conducting cross-species multi-omics comparative analysis. Nevertheless, current dearth comprehensive platforms providing evolutionary annotation information and multi-species impedes users from systematically efficiently performing functional analysis on specific genes. In order establish an advanced plant platform that provides...
