The COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is a health crisis worldwide. While developing novel drugs and vaccines long, repurposing existing against can yield treatments with known preclinical, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, toxicity profiles, which rapidly enter clinical trials. In this study, we present network-based drug platform to identify candidates for treatment of COVID-19. At time initial outbreak, knowledge about was lacking, but based on its similarity other viruses,...
How two subgenomes in allo-tetraploids adapt to coexistence and coordinate through structure expression evolution requires extensive studies. In the present study, we report an improved genome assembly of allo-tetraploid common carp, updated annotation goldfish chromosome-scale assemblies a progenitor-like diploid Puntius tetrazona outgroup Paracanthobrama guichenoti. Parallel subgenome was featured with equivalent chromosome components, higher protein identities, similar transposon...
The COVID-2019 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (aka 2019-nCoV) has raised significant health concerns in China and worldwide. While novel drug discovery vaccine studies are long, repurposing old drugs against epidemic can help identify treatments, with known preclinical, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, toxicity profiles, which rapidly enter Phase 3 or 4 be used directly clinical settings. In this study, we presented a network based platform to potential for treatment of COVID-2019....
Fruit cracking is a physiological disease that occurs during fruit development, which limits the quality and marketability of causes great economic losses. affected by physiological, genetic environmental factors. In this paper, mechanism was elaborated from cutin cell wall, especially gene families related to wall metabolism, including polygalacturonase (PG) family, xylologlucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) family expansin family. addition, due advancement high-throughput sequencing...
4-Coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL, EC6.2.1.12), located at the end of phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway, regulates direction derivatives and plays a pivotal role in biosynthesis flavonoids, lignin, other secondary metabolites. In order to understand molecular characteristics potential biological functions 4CL gene family pomegranate, bioinformatics analysis was carried out on identified 4CLs. this study, 12 Pg4CLs were pomegranate genome, which contained two conserved amino acid domains:...
Most cultivated lands are suffering from soil salinization, which is a global problem affecting agricultural development and economy. High NaCl concentrations in the result accumulation of toxic Cl− Na+ plants. Na+/H+ antiporter (NHX) can regulate compartmentalization or efflux to reduce toxicity. This study aims identify NHX genes pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) genome sequences investigate their expression patterns under different stress. In this study, we used PgNHXs analyze...
Abstract Backgrounds Pomegranate is an excellent tree species with nutritional, medicinal, ornamental and ecological values. Studies have confirmed that SPL factors play important role in floral transition flower development. Results Used bioinformatics methods, 15 (SQUAMOSA promoter-binding protein-like) genes were identified analyzed from the ‘Taishanhong’ pomegranate ( P. granatum L.) genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed PgSPLs divided into six subfamilies (G1 ~ G6). PgSPL promoter...
MADS-box is a critical transcription factor regulating the development of floral organs and plays essential roles in growth transformation, flower meristem determination, male female gametophytes, fruit development. In this study, 36 MIKC-type genes were identified ‘Taishanhong’ pomegranate genome. By utilizing phylogenetic analysis, divided into 14 subfamilies. Bioinformatics methods used to analyze gene structure, conserved motifs, cis-acting elements, protein interaction networks family...
Sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis can ascend to the upper genital tract due its resistance innate immunity in lower tract. C. activate cGAS-STING signaling pathway cultured cells via either cGAS or STING. This study was designed evaluate role of against mouse
Abstract Backgrounds Pomegranate ( Punica granatum L.) is an important commercial fruit tree, with moderate tolerance to salinity. The balance of Cl − and other anions in pomegranate tissues are affected by salinity, however, the accumulation patterns poorly understood. chloride channel (CLC) gene family involved conducting , NO 3 HCO I but its characteristics have not been reported on pomegranate. Results In this study, we identified seven PgCLC genes, consisting four antiporters three...
In some women, sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis may ascend to infect the endometrium, leading pelvic inflammatory disease. To identify endometrial innate immune components that interact with Chlamydia, we introduced C. into mouse endometrium via transcervical inoculation and compared infectious yields in mice without immunodeficiency. Live recovered from vaginal swabs or tissues peaked on day 3 then declined all deficiency adaptive immunity, indicating a critical role for immunity...
The three-amino-acid-loop-extension (TALE) gene family is a pivotal transcription factor that regulates the development of flower organs, meristem formation, organ morphogenesis and fruit development. A total 17 genes pomegranate TALE were identified analyzed in via bioinformatics methods, which provided theoretical basis for functional research utilization genes. results showed PgTALE divided into eight subfamilies (KNOX-Ⅰ, KNOX-Ⅱ, KNOX-Ⅲ, BELL-Ⅰ, BELL-Ⅱ, BELL-Ⅲ, BELL-Ⅳ, BELL-Ⅴ). All...
Abstract Pomegranate (Punica granatum) flowers are classified as bisexual and functional male flowers. Functional have sterile pistils that show abnormal ovule development. In previous studies, we identified INNER NO OUTER (INO), CRABS CLAW (CRC), BELL1 (BEL1), which were specifically expressed in However, the functions of identity genes mechanism underlying sterility pomegranate remain unknown. Here, found integument primordia formed then ceased developing ovules with a vertical diameter...
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is widely grown in arid and semi-arid soils, with constant soil salinization. To elucidate its molecular responses to salt stress on mRNA levels, we constructed 18 cDNA libraries of pomegranate roots leaves from 0 (controls), 3, 6 days after 200 mM NaCl treatment. In total, obtained 34,047 genes by mapping genome, then identified 2255 DEGs (differentially expressed genes), including 1080 up-regulated 1175 down-regulated genes. We found that the expression...
Many fruit trees have been whole-genome sequenced, and these genomic resources provide us with valuable of genes related to interesting traits (e.g., color, size taste) help facilitate the breeding progress. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), one economically important crop, has attracted much attention for its multiple colors, sweet sour taste, soft seed nutraceutical properties. In recent years, phylogenesis pomegranate revised which belongs Lythraceae. So far, three published genomes...
Fruit cracking tremendously damages the appearance of fruit, easily leads to pathogen invasion, greatly reduces marketability and causes immense economic losses. The pivotal role long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in diverse biological processes has been confirmed, while roles lncRNAs underlying fruit remain poorly understood. In this study, incidence was 7.26% under bagging treatment, control group 38.11%, indicating that considerably diminished rate. LncRNA libraries for (FC), non-cracking...
