Drought and salt stress are the main environmental cues affecting survival, development, distribution, yield of crops worldwide. MYB transcription factors play a crucial role in plants’ biological processes, but function pineapple genes is still obscure. In this study, one factors, AcoMYB4, was isolated characterized. The results showed that AcoMYB4 localized cell nucleus, its expression induced by low temperature, drought, stress, hormonal stimulation, especially abscisic acid (ABA)....
Dehydration responsive element-binding (DREB) transcription factors play a crucial role in plant growth, development and stress responses. Although DREB genes have been characterized many species, genome-wide identification of the gene family has not yet reported pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.).Using comprehensive screening, we identified 20 AcoDREB on 14 chromosomes. These were categorized into five subgroups. AcoDREBs within group had similar structures domain compositions. Using...
Angiosperm reproductive development is a complex event that includes floral organ development, male and female gametophyte formation interaction between the organs for successful fertilization. Previous studies have revealed redundant function of ATP binding cassette subfamily G (ABCG) transporters ABCG1 ABCG16 in pollen but whether they are involved other processes unknown. Here we show were not only expressed anthers stamen filaments also enriched pistil tissues, including stigma, style,...
Megasporogenesis is a key step during ovule development in angiosperms, but the small number and inaccessibility of these cells have hampered molecular genome-wide studies. Thus, many questions remain regarding basis cell specification, differentiation, female gametophyte. Here, taking advantage correlation between spikelet length rice (Oryza sativa), we studied transcriptome dynamics young ovules at three stages, archesporial cell, megaspore mother before meiosis, functional after using...
Polar auxin transport in plant is mediated by influx and efflux transporters, which are encoded AUX/LAX , PIN PILS genes, respectively. The transporter gene families have been characterized several species from monocots eudicots. However, a genome-wide overview of pineapple not yet available. In this study, we identified total three AcAUX 12 AcPIN seven AcPILS genes the genome, were variably located on 15 chromosomes. exon-intron structure these properties deduced proteins relatively...
Abstract Despite the transformative power of gene editing for crop improvement, its widespread application across species and varieties is limited by transformation bottleneck that exists many crops. The genetic plants hindered a general reliance on in vitro regeneration through plant tissue culture. Tissue culture requires empirically determined conditions aseptic techniques, cannot easily be translated to recalcitrant genotypes. Both Agrobacterium-mediated alternative protocols are...
Chromatin remodeling complex orchestrates numerous aspects of growth and development in eukaryotes. SWI2/SNF2-Related 1 chromatin (SWR1-C) is a member the SWI/SNF ATPase-containing responsible for exchange H2A H2A.Z. In plants, SWR1-C plays crucial role by transcriptionally regulating biological developmental processes. However, activity remains obscure pineapple. Here, we aim to identify subunits By genome-wide identification, found total 11 The identified were named classified based on...
RT-PCR tests based on RNA extraction from nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) are promoted as the "gold standard" for SARS-CoV-2 detection. However, use of saliva samples offers noninvasive self-collection more suitable high-throughput testing. This study evaluated performance TaqPath COVID-19 Fast PCR Combo kit 2.0 assay detection in raw relative to a lab-developed direct test (SalivaDirect-based PCR, SDB-PCR) and an NPS. Saliva NPS were collected symptomatic asymptomatic individuals (N = 615)....
Abstract RT-qPCR tests based on RNA extraction from nasopharyngeal swab samples are promoted as the “gold standard” for SARS-CoV-2 detection. However, self-collected saliva offer a non-invasive alternative more suited to high-throughput testing. This study evaluated performance of TaqPath COVID-19 Fast PCR Combo Kit 2.0 assay detection in raw relative lab-developed direct test (SalivaDirect-based PCR) and NPS samples. Both were collected symptomatic asymptomatic individuals (N=615). Saliva...
