The non-random spatial packing of chromosomes in the nucleus plays a critical role orchestrating gene expression and genome function. Here, we present Hi-C analysis chromatin interaction patterns rice (Oryza sativa L.) at hierarchical architectural levels. We confirm that occupy their own territories with certain preferential inter-chromosomal associations. Moderate compartment delimitation extensive TADs (Topologically Associated Domains) were determined to be associated heterogeneous...
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) perform a fundamental role in protecting plants against abiotic stresses. Previous studies have made great efforts the functional analysis of individual family members, but there has not yet been an overall or expression profiling HSP70 gene soybeans (Glycine max L.). In this study, investigation soybean genome revealed 61 putative genes, which were evaluated. These genes classified into eight sub-families, denoted I-VIII, based on phylogenetic analysis. each...
Breeding of stress-tolerant plants is able to improve crop yield under stress conditions, whereas CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing has been shown be an efficient way for molecular breeding agronomic traits including tolerance in crops. However, genes can targeted enhance abiotic remained largely unidentified. We have previously identified abscisic acid (ABA)-induced transcription repressors ( AITRs ) as a novel family factors that are involved the regulation ABA signaling, and we found knockout...
Allopolyploidy is an important process in plant speciation, yet newly formed allopolyploid species typically suffer from extreme genetic bottlenecks. One escape this impasse might be homoeologous meiotic pairing, during which exchanges (HEs) generate phenotypically variable progeny. However, the immediate genome-wide patterns and resulting phenotypic diversity generated by HEs remain largely unknown. Here, we analyzed genome composition of 202 phenotyped euploid segmental individuals fourth...
Abstract Plants, as sessile organisms, deploy transcriptional dynamics for adapting to extreme growth conditions such cold stress. Emerging evidence suggests that chromatin architecture contributes regulation. However, the relationship between architectural and reprogramming in response stress remains unclear. Here, we apply a chemical-crosslinking assisted proximity capture (CAP-C) method elucidate fine-scale landscape, revealing interactions within gene bodies closely associated with RNA...
Aneuploidy, a condition of unbalanced chromosome content, represents large-effect mutation that bears significant relevance to human health and microbe adaptation. As such, extensive studies aneuploidy have been conducted in unicellular model organisms cancer cells. Aneuploidy also frequently is associated with plant polyploidization, but its impact on gene expression polyploid genome evolution/functional innovation remain largely unknown. Here, we used panel diverse types whole-chromosome...
Abstract Background Analysis of the relationship between chromosomal structural variation (synteny breaks) and 3D-chromatin architectural changes among closely related species has potential to reveal causes correlates change chromatin remodeling. Of note, contrary extensive studies in animal species, pace pattern following speciation plants remain unexplored; moreover, there is little exploration occurrence synteny breaks context multiple genome topological hierarchies within same model...
The allopolyploid speciation process faces the genomic challenge of stoichiometric disruption caused by merging biparental nuclear genomes with only one (usually maternal) two sets progenitor cytoplasmic genomes. photosynthetic protein 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is composed nuclear-encoded small subunits (SSUs) and plastome-encoded large (LSUs), making it an ideal enzyme to explore evolution cytonuclear accommodation. We investigated variation SSUs their encoding genes...
Summary CG methylation ( m CG) is essential for preserving genome stability in mammals, but this link remains obscure plants. OsMET1‐2, a major rice DNA methyltransferase, plays critical roles maintaining rice. Null mutation of OsMET1‐2 causes massive hypomethylation, rendering the mutant suitable to address role integrity Here, we analyzed dynamics and tissue cultures homozygous (−/−) heterozygous (+/−) mutants, isogenic wild‐type (WT). We found levels −/− were substantially lower than...
Efficient data transmission and reasonable task allocation are important to improve multi-robot exploration efficiency. However, most communication types typically contain redundant information thus require massive volume. Moreover, exploration-oriented is far from trivial becomes even more challenging for resource-limited unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In this paper, we propose a fast communication-efficient multi-UAV method exploring large environments. We first design dynamic...
Polyploidization has played a prominent role in the evolutionary history of plants. Two recent and sequential allopolyploidization events have resulted formation wheat species with different ploidies, which provide model to study effects polyploidization on evolution gene expression. In this study, we identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between four BBAA tetraploid wheats three ploidy backgrounds. DEGs were found be unevenly distributed among functional categories duplication...
Associations between 3D chromatin architectures and epigenetic modifications have been characterized in animals. However, any impact of DNA methylation on architecture plants is understudied, which confined to Arabidopsis thaliana. Because plant species differ genome size, composition, overall packing, it unclear what extent findings from A. thaliana hold other species. Moreover, the incomplete architectural profiles low-resolution high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) data...
Soybean is a primary source of plant-based oil and protein for human diets. Seed size weight are important agronomic traits that significantly influence soybean yield. Despite their importance, the genetic mechanisms underlying seed remain to be fully elucidated. In order identify additional, major quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with weight, we developed segregating populations by crossing large-seeded variety “Kebaliang” small-seeded “SUZUMARU”. We evaluated length, width,...
Abstract Aging is the number one risk factor for breast cancer development. Increasing evidence suggests potential of mammary stem cells (MaSCs) and their progenitors to generate certain types cancers through neoplastic transformation. Our previous study has shown increased percentage MaSC-enriched basal cell population (Lin-CD49fhighCD24med) MaSC frequency during aging in murine models. On other hand, a recent from another group showed an CD49fhigh human luminal (CD227+) aging, indicating...
