Abstract Background Castor bean ( Ricinus communis L.) is an important oil crop, which belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. The seed of castor currently only commercial source ricinoleic acid that can be used for producing about 2000 industrial products. However, it remains largely unknown regarding origin, domestication, and genetic basis key traits bean. Results Here we perform a de novo chromosome-level genome assembly wild progenitor By resequencing analyzing 505 worldwide accessions,...
Soil salinity is a major source of abiotic plant stress, adversely affecting growth, development and productivity. Although the physiological molecular mechanisms that underlie responses to salt stress are becoming increasingly understood, epigenetic modifications, such as histone methylations their potential regulation transcription masked genes at genome level in response remain largely unclear. Castor bean, an important nonedible oil crop, has evolved capacity grow under stress. Here,...
Abstract The genus Calotropis (Asclepiadaceae) is comprised of two species, C . gigantea and procera , which both show significant economic potential for use their seed fibers in the textile industry, bioactive compounds as new medicinal resources. available wild-sourced germplasm contains limited genetic information that restricts further exploration purposes domestication. We here developed twenty novel EST-SSR markers applied them to assess diversity, population structure differentiation...
Abstract Plant HKTs (High-affinity K + transporters) are essential transporters for ion transport and homeostasis play crucial roles in plant growth stress responses. However, the evolution of Populus species their functions require further investigation. In this study, we identified 16 from six species. All poplar were classified as Class I because physiological relationships conservation amino acids key structures, which aligns with conserved evolutionary coding sequences. The analysis...
Heat shock proteins (HSP20s) are crucial components in plant stress responses, acting as molecular chaperones to safeguard cellular integrity and prevent abnormal protein aggregation. While extensive research has been conducted on HSP20s various species, limited information is available regarding the HSP20 family poplar (Populus yunnanensis), a species of significant ecological economic importance native southwestern China. To elucidate distribution, structural features, functional...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Whole-genome duplication events often confer autopolyploid plants with bigger leaf blades compared those of their diploid counterparts. However, little is known regarding the potential molecular basis formation in plants. Here, we focused on oilseed crop castor bean (<italic>Ricinus communis L.</italic>) to investigate underlying size variation using a synthetic autotetraploid by doubling homologous chromosomes. Results The results showed that area...
The Dendrobium plants (members of the Orchidaceae family) are used as traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. Bibenzyl, one active compounds in officinale, occurs low amounts among different tissues. However, market demands require a higher content thes to meet threshold for drug production. There is, therefore, an immediate need dissect physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying how bibenzyl biosynthesized D. officinale In this study, accumulation erianin gigantol tissues were studied...
Abstract Castor bean ( Ricinus communis L., Euphorbiaceae) is a critical biodiesel crop and its seed derivatives have important industrial applications. Due to lack of high-density genetic map, the breeding improvement castor has been largely restricted. In this study, based on recombinant inbred line (RIL) population consisting 200 individuals, we generated 8,896 high-quality genomic SNP markers constructed high-resolution map with 10 linkage groups (LGs), spanning 1,852.33 centiMorgan...
Abstract Plant dwarfism is a desirable agronomic trait in non-timber trees, but little known about the physiological and molecular mechanism underlying woody plants. Castor bean ( Ricinus communis ) typical oilseed crop. We performed cytological observations within xylem, phloem cambia tissues, revealing that divergent cell growth all tissues might play role dwarf phenotype cultivated castor bean. Based on bulked segregant analyses for F 2 population generated from crossing of tall...
PEAR proteins are a type of plant-specific DNA binding with one finger (Dof) transcription factors that play key role in the regulation plant growth, especially during phloem cell growth and seed germination Arabidopsis. However, identification, characteristics function proteins, particularly woody plants, need to be further studied. In present study, 43 candidate harboring conserved Zf-Dof domain were obtained Populus yunnanensis. Based on phylogenetic structural analysis, 10 representative...
Little is known about the molecular basis of seed size formation in endospermic dicotyledons. The castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) considered as a model system biology studies because its persistent endosperms throughout development.We compared endosperm and cells between ZB107 ZB306 found that larger resulted from higher cell count endosperm, which occupy significant amount total volume. In addition, fresh weight, dry protein content seeds were remarkably than ZB306. Comparative proteomic...
The physiological and molecular basis of seed size formation is complex, the development coat (derived from integument cells) might be a critical factor that determines for many endospermic seeds. Castor bean (Ricinus communis L.), model system studying biology, has large persistent endosperm with hard at maturity. Here, we investigated potential mechanisms underlying in castor by comparing difference between global gene expression within developing tissues large-seed ZB107 small-seed ZB306....
Iron walnut (Juglans sigillata Dode) is a native species in southwestern China that exhibits variation both fruit morphology and shell thickness. However, the underlying molecular processes controlling hardened endocarp development has not yet been reported. Here, we generated transcriptional profiles of iron at three developmental stages using "Dapao", most common commercial variety. Using pairwise comparisons between these stages, total 8555 non-redundant differentially expressed genes...
H1s, or linker histones, are ubiquitous proteins in eukaryotic cells, consisting of a globular GH1 domain flanked by two unstructured tails. Whilst it is known that numerous non-allelic variants exist within the same species, degree interspecific and intraspecific variation divergence histones remain unknown. The conserved basic binding sites evenly distributed strong positive charges on C-terminal (CTD) key structural characters for to bind chromatin. Based these features, we identified...
Castor (Ricinus communis L.) seeds produce abundant ricinoleic acid during seed maturation, which is important for plant development and human demands. Ricinoleic acid, as a unique hydroxy fatty (HFA), possesses distinct bond structure that could be used substitute fossil fuels. Here, we identified all homologous genes related to glycolysis, biosynthesis, triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation in castor seeds. Furthermore, investigated their expression patterns globally five stages. We...
Abstract Background: Dendrobium plants are well known for their uses in traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Bibenzyl compounds the main active officinale. However, physiological and molecular basis biosynthesis of bibenzyl remains underexplored. Results: In this study, accumulation erianin gigantol were studied as representative bibenzyl. Their presence plant tissues investigated. Our results show that root contained highest content (erianin gigantol). Based on pre-experimental result...
