Gene cloning in repeat-rich polyploid genomes remains challenging. Here we describe a strategy for overcoming major bottlenecks the of powdery mildew (Pm) resistance gene (R-gene) Pm69 derived from tetraploid wild emmer wheat (WEW). A conventional positional approach was not effective due to suppressed recombination. Chromosome sorting compromised by insufficient purity. physical map, constructed assembling Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) long-read genome sequences, revealed rapidly...
Hydrogen holds the advantages of high energy density, great natural abundance and zero emission, making it suitable for large scale long term storage, while its safe efficient storage is still challenging. Among various solid state hydrogen materials, MgH2 promising industrial applications due to gravimetric volumetric densities Mg on earth. However, practical application has been limited by stable thermodynamics slow desorption kinetics. Nanocatalysis considered as a approach improving...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)- and hypersensitive response (HR)-mediated cell death have long been known to play critical roles in plant immunity pathogens. Wheat powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici ( Bgt) is a destructive wheat pathogen. Here, we report quantitative analysis of the proportion infected cells with local apoplastic ROS (apoROS) versus intracellular (intraROS) accumulation various accessions that carry different disease resistance genes R genes) at series...
Our previous study indicated that glycerol application induced resistance to powdery mildew (Bgt) in wheat by regulating two important signal molecules, glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) and oleic acid (OA18:1). Transcriptome analysis of leaves treated inoculated with Bgt was performed identify the activated immune response pathways. We identified a set differentially expressed transcripts (e.g., TaGLI1, TaACT1, TaSSI2) involved fatty metabolism were upregulated infection might contribute G3P...
Scavenger receptor class B, member 2 (SCARB2) is linked to Gaucher disease and Parkinson's disease. Deficiency in the SCARB2 gene causes progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME), a rare group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by myoclonus. We found that Scarb2 deficiency mice leads age-dependent dietary lipid malabsorption, accompanied with vitamin E deficiency. Our investigation revealed associated gut dysbiosis an altered bile acid pool, leading hyperactivation FXR...
Abstract Plants have intricate innate immune receptors that detect pathogens. Research has intensely focused on two receptor classes recognizing external and internal threats. Recent research identified a class of disease resistance proteins called tandem kinase (TKPs). We investigated RWT4, wheat TKP confers to the devastating fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae . established rice protoplast system, revealing RWT4 specifically recognizes AvrPWT4 effector, leading transcription defense genes...
Muscle growth is regulated by the homeostatic balance of biosynthesis and degradation muscle proteins. To elucidate molecular interactions among diet, pig genotype, physiological stage, we examined effect dietary protein concentration, stages on amino acid (AA) pools, deposition, related signaling pathways in different types skeletal muscles. The study used 48 Landrace pigs pure-bred Bama mini-pigs assigned to each 2 treatments: lower/GB (Chinese conventional diet)- or higher/NRC (National...
Spike brittleness represents an important domestication trait in crops. Although the brittle rachis of wild wheat was cloned, however, molecular mechanism underlying spike is yet to be elucidated. Here, we identified a single dominant gene Br-Ab on chromosome arm 3AbS using F2 population diploid and designated Btr1-Ab. Sequence analysis Btr1-A 40 accessions, 80 tetraploid accessions 38 hexaploid showed that two independent mutations (Ala119Thr for Gly97* polyploids) coding region resulting...
To disclose the antibiotics susceptibility and wide adaptability of commonly occurring genotypes Salmonella Typhimurium, antibiotic resistance biofilm formation different multilocus-sequence-typing (MLST) types a collection 240 S. Typhimurium isolates (33 food 207 clinical ones) during 2010-2014 in Shenzhen were analyzed. Among these strains, 167 was ST34 (69.58%) 57 ST19 (23.75%), respectively. A total 159 (95.21%) strains displayed multidrug resistant phenotype (≥ three classes...
Powdery mildew (PM), caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is one of the destructive wheat diseases worldwide. Wild emmer (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides, WEW), a tetraploid progenitor common wheat, valuable genetic resource for disease resistance breeding programs. We developed three hexaploid pre-breeding lines with PM genes derived from WEW accessions. These resistant were crossed susceptible Segregations in F2 populations 3 resistant: 1 susceptible, suggesting single...
The genus Pseudoroegneria (Nevski) Á.Löve contributes the St genome for more than 60% of perennial Triticeae species. However, strong dominant character makes it challenging to distinguish each species and/or even based on single or combined morphological traits. Moreover, phylogeny and taxonomy St-genome containing polyploid genera remain controversial. In this study, we used nuclear chloroplast DNA-based phylogenetic analyses reveal systematic relationships between maximum likelihood (ML)...
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the major wheat diseases caused by species (mainly graminearum and asiaticum), resulting in significant global yield losses risks to food security. Breeding varieties with resistance genes most environmentally friendly economical strategy for controlling FHB. Psathyrostachys huashanica Keng ex P. C. Kuo (2n = 2x 14, NsNs), which showed abiotic tolerance biotic resistance, has research value potential as an important genetic resource improvement. In...
