Rhizobia-legume symbiosis is an important type of plant-microbe mutualism; however, the establishment this association complicated and can be affected by many factors. The soybean rhizosphere has a specific microbial community, yet whether these organisms affect rhizobial nodulation not been well investigated. Here, we analyzed compositions relationships rhizocompartment microbiota in three types soil. First, found that community composition varied significantly different soils, network...
Abstract Seed germination, an important developmental stage in the life cycle of seed plants, is regulated by complex signals. Melatonin a signaling molecule associated with germination under stressful conditions, although underlying regulatory mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we showed that low concentration (10 µM or 100 µM) melatonin had no effect on but when increased to 500 1000 µM, was significantly inhibited Arabidopsis. RNA sequencing analysis correlated phytohormones...
• Drought induces root death in plants; however, the nature and characteristics of cell its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we provide a systematic analysis primary tips Arabidopsis during water stress. Root tip occurs when high deficit is reached. The dying cells were first detected apical meristem roots underwent active programmed (PCD). Transmission electron microscopic shows that undergoing induced had unambiguous morphological features autophagic death, including an...
Yellow seed is a desirable quality trait of the Brassica oilseed species. Previously, several coat color genes have been mapped in species, but molecular mechanism still unknown. In present investigation, map-based cloning method was used to identify gene, located on A9 B. rapa. Blast analysis with Arabidopsis genome showed that there were 22 this region including at4g09820 at4g10620. Functional complementation test exhibited phenotype reversion thaliana tt8-1 mutant and yellow-seeded plant....
Group A protein type 2C phosphatases (PP2Cs) are negative regulators of abscisic acid (ABA) signalling and plant adaptation to stress. However, our knowledge the regulation PP2C activity is limited. Here we report that HAB1 undergoes alternative splicing produce two splice variants, which encode HAB1.1 HAB1.2, play opposing roles in ABA-mediated seed germination post-germination developmental arrest. HAB1.2 predominately formed presence ABA prevents post-germinative growth. interacts with...
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is an essential part of the plant response to abiotic stressors such as drought. Upon perception ABA, pyrabactin resistance (PYR)/PYR1-like (PYL)/regulatory components ABA receptor (RCAR) proteins interact with co-receptor protein phosphatase type 2Cs permit activation Snf1-related kinase2 (SnRK2) kinases, which switch on signaling by phosphorylating various target proteins. Thus, SnRK2 kinases are central regulators signaling. However, mechanisms that...
Cell water permeability and cell wall properties are critical to survival of plant cells during freezing, however the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report that a specifically cold-induced nuclear protein, Tolerant Chilling Freezing 1 (TCF1), interacts with histones H3 H4 associates chromatin containing target gene, BLUE-COPPER-BINDING PROTEIN (BCB), encoding glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein regulates lignin biosynthesis. Loss TCF1 function leads...
Drought is a major threat to plant growth and crop productivity. Reduced level of the gibberellin would result in increased drought tolerance, but underlying mechanism still unclear. In Brassica napus, there are four BnaRGA genes that code for DELLA proteins, negative regulators GA signaling. Among them, expression BnaA6.RGA was greatly induced by abscisic acid (ABA). Previously, we created gain-of-function mutant BnaA6.RGA, bnaa6.rga-D, loss-of-function quadruple mutant, bnarga CRISPR/Cas9,...
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation boosts legume growth and production in nitrogen-poor soils. It has long been assumed that fixed increases reproductive success, but until now, the regulatory mechanism was unknown. Here, we report a symbiotic flowering pathway couples nutrient signals to induction legumes. We show microRNA–microRNA172c (miR172c) systemically synergistically convey nutritional cues from roots leaves promote soybean ( Glycine max ) flowering. The combinations of miR172c local...
Summary Auxins play important roles in the nodulation of legumes. However, mechanism by which auxin signaling regulates root is largely unknown. In particular, role receptors and their regulation determinate nodule development remains elusive. We checked expression pattern receptor GmTIR1 / GmAFB3 genes soybean. analyzed functions GmTIR1/AFB3 rhizobial infection number, also tested miR393 during its relationship with . The results showed that exhibit diverse patterns overexpression...
WRKY proteins are one of the largest gene families and well-known for their regulatory roles in many aspects plant development, including response to both biotic abiotic stresses. Although leaf blast resistance have been well-documented rice, functions panicle blast, most destructive type disease, still largely unknown. Here, we identified that transcription OsWRKY67 was strongly activated by infection. is ubiquitously expressed sub-localized nucleus. Rice plants overexpressing showed...
DELLA (GAI/RGA/RGL1/RGL2/RGL3) proteins are key negative regulators in GA (gibberellin) signaling and involved regulating plant growth as a response to environmental stresses. It has been shown that the protein PROCERA (PRO) tomato promotes drought tolerance, but its molecular mechanism remains unknown. Here, we showed gai-1 (gibberellin insensitive 1) mutant (generated from (Ler) allele (with 17 amino acid deletion within domain of GAI) by backcrossing with Col-0 three times),...
Soybean (Glycine max) is one of the most important crops world-wide. Under low nitrogen (N) condition, soybean can form a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia to acquire sufficient N for their growth and production. Nodulation signaling controls symbiosis rhizobia. The Nodule Inception (GmNINa) gene central regulator nodulation. However, transcriptional regulation GmNINa remains largely unknown. sensitive salt stress, but underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we identified an NAC...
