We report improved whole-genome shotgun sequences for the genomes of indica and japonica rice, both with multimegabase contiguity, or almost 1,000-fold improvement over drafts 2002. Tested against a nonredundant collection 19,079 full-length cDNAs, 97.7% genes are aligned, without fragmentation, to mapped super-scaffolds one other genome. introduce gene identification procedure plants that does not rely on similarity known remove erroneous predictions resulting from transposable elements....
Abstract Previous studies suggested that Hd1 promoted heading under short-day conditions (SD) and delayed long-day (LD). However in this study, was demonstrated to consistently promote date Zhenshan 97 (ZS97) background by upregulating Ehd1 , Hd3a RFT1 expression both SD LD. While the high photoperiod sensitivity of observed Minghui 63 (MH63) background, with being suppressed LD but SD. Comparative analysis two sets near isogenic lines MH63 ZS97 backgrounds indicated alternative functions...
Melatonin reportedly protects against several cardiovascular diseases including ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), atherosclerosis, and hypertension. The present study investigated the effects mechanisms of melatonin on cardiomyocyte autophagy, apoptosis, mitochondrial injury in context myocardial infarction (MI). We demonstrated that significantly alleviated cardiac dysfunction after MI. Four weeks MI, echocardiography Masson staining indicated notably mitigated adverse left ventricle remodeling....
Abstract Maize seedlings are very sensitive to chilling, especially during the transition phase from heterotrophic autotrophic growth. Genetic dissection of genetic basis chilling tolerance would provide useful information for improvement maize inbreds. In this study, genome‐wide association analysis was conducted explore architecture at seed germination and seedling stages with an panel 125 Ten indices (ratios performance 10 rates growth‐related traits under stress control conditions) were...
Auxin plays critical roles in many developmental processes of plants. The auxin signaling pathway is a series plant responses to stimuli. However, the functions genes this are still obscure. As receptors, TIR/AFB family encode F-Box proteins that directly bind and then transduce stimulus through pathway. In paper, we generated an overexpression line Auxin-signaling 6 (OsAFB6) rice, which largely delayed heading, greatly increased spikelets per panicle primary branch number ultimately...
The level of difficulty involved in separating marker genotypes greatly determines the utilization such marker-aided selection (MAS) by breeders. Genotyping use agarose gel electrophoresis is easily accepted breeders due to its simple requirements and easy operation lab. Here, we extracted 19,937 large fragment insertions/deletions (LInDels) that were 30-55 bp based on two indica rice one japonica reference genome sequences. Thousands primer pairs designed Primer 3 program amplify...
Alcohol “sensitivity” has been proposed as a predictive factor for development of alcohol dependence (Schuckit et al., 2005). Most measures sensitivity in humans and animals include component that can be ascribed to acute functional tolerance (AFT). AFT is form develops within single period exposure genetic component. We used microarray technology well quantitative trait locus analysis phenotypic gene expression data across 30 BXD recombinant inbred strains mice, 20 two replicate lines mice...
Transcription factors (TFs) and transcriptional regulators are important switches in networks. In recent years, the regulator TIE1 (TCP interactor containing EAR motif protein 1) was identified as a nuclear repressor which regulates leaf development controls branch development. However, function regulatory network of GhTIE1 has not been studied cotton. Here, we demonstrated that is functionally conserved controlling shoot branching cotton Arabidopsis. Overexpression Arabidopsis leads to...
Abstract Exploitation of heterosis in rice ( Oryza sativa L.) has contributed greatly to global food security. In this study, we generated three sets reciprocal F 1 hybrids indica and japonica subspecies evaluate the relationship between yield circadian clock. There were no differences trait performance or hybrids, indicating maternal effects on heterosis. The indica‐indica indica‐japonica exhibited pronounced for chlorophyll starch content leaves grain yield/biomass. contrast,...
In the past, rice hybrids with strong heterosis have been obtained empirically, by developing and testing thousands of combinations. Here, we aimed to determine whether an elite hybrid could be achieved manipulating major quantitative trait loci. We used 202 chromosome segment substitution lines from Shanyou 63 evaluate single (SSH) yield per plant identify heterotic All nine detected loci acted in a dominant fashion, no SSH exhibited overdominance. Functional alleles key yield-related genes...
Fruit cracking decreases the total production and commercial value of watermelon. The molecular mechanisms fruit are unknown. In this study, 164 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) watermelon, derived from crossing WQ1 (cracking-sensitive) WQ2 (cracking-tolerant) lines, were sequenced using specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq). A high-density genetic linkage map was constructed with 3,335 markers spanning 1,322.74 cM, at an average 0.40 cM across whole-genome flanking...
Heterosis refers to the superior performance of hybrids over their parents, which is a general phenomenon occurring in diverse organisms. Many commercial produce high yield without delayed flowering, we refer as optimal heterosis and desired hybrid breeding. Here, attempted illustrate genomic basis by reinvestigating single-locus quantitative trait loci digenic interactions two traits, number spikelets per panicle (SP) heading date (HD), using recombinant inbred lines 'immortalized F2 s'...
Aurora kinases are essential for regulation of chromosome segregation and cytokinesis during mitosis play a role in growth progression human tumors, including ovarian cancer. A B frequently overexpressed high-grade low-grade cancers. Targeting has great potential improving the efficacy chemotherapies In this study, we investigated whether kinase inhibitor, VE 465, can enhance anti-tumor activity carboplatin cancer cells. The antitumor 465 was tested by MTT proliferative assay multiple...
Grain shape is an important appearance quality trait that associated with grain weight in rice. Dissection of the genetic basis will benefit the improvement shape. In this study, we constructed a high-density genetic linkage map via genotyping recombinant inbred line population by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. A total 22 quantitative loci (QTLs) were detected, one half was detected both years experiment, and other only year. As well as QTLs reported previous studies, five...
Intragenic recombination is one of the most important sources genetic variability. In our previous study, RI92 a tall line (160 cm plant height) was observed in cross progeny between two semi-dwarf indica cultivars Zhenshan 97 and Minghui 63. Genome-wide genotyping sequencing indicated that genome constitution completely from both parents. Bulk segregant analysis BC3F2 population revealed "green revolution gene" 1 (sd1) likely gene controlling height RI92. Sequencing SD1 an intragenic...
