Pectins are major components of the primary plant cell wall, which functions as barrier against pathogens. Pectin methylesterases (PMEs) catalyze demethylesterification homogalacturonan domains pectin in wall. Their activity is regulated by PME inhibitors (PMEIs). Here, we provide evidence that methylesterase-inhibiting protein GhPMEI3 from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) responses to infection fungus Verticillium dahliae. interacts with PMEs and regulates expression a specific fungal...
Current DNA base editors contain nuclease and deaminase that enables deamination of cytosine (C) or adenine (A), but no method for guanine (G) thymine (T) editing is available at present. Here we developed a deaminase-free glycosylase-based editor (gGBE) with G ability, by fusing Cas9 nickase engineered N-methylpurine glycosylase protein (MPG). By several rounds MPG mutagenesis via unbiased rational screening using an intron-split EGFP reporter, demonstrated gGBE could increase efficiency...
Salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone and signal required for establishing resistance to diverse pathogens diseases. The abundant polyphenols in tea plants also defend from biotic abiotic stresses. However, whether exogenous SA would increase the of adversity relationship between are still poorly understood. Here, we carried out treatment on seedlings performed transcriptome sequencing. inhibited phenylpropanoid flavonoid metabolic pathways but promoted lignin pathways. increased...
DNA base editors enable direct editing of adenine (A), cytosine (C), or guanine (G), but there is no editor for thymine (T) currently. Here we develop two deaminase-free glycosylase-based T (gTBE) and C (gCBE) by fusing Cas9 nickase (nCas9) with engineered human uracil glycosylase (UNG) variants. By several rounds structure-informed rational mutagenesis on UNG in cultured cells, obtain gTBE gCBE high activity T-to-S (i.e., T-to-C T-to-G) C-to-G conversions, respectively. Furthermore, conduct...
Abstract Polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP), belonging to a group of plant defence proteins, specifically inhibits endopolygalacturonases secreted by pathogens. Herein, we showed that purified GhPGIP1 is functional inhibitor Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum , the two fungal pathogens causing cotton wilt. Transcription was increased in upon infection, wounding, treatment with hormone H 2 O . Resistance examined its virus-induced gene silencing...
Germin-like proteins (GLPs) are water-soluble plant glycoproteins belonging to the cupin superfamily. The important role of GLPs in responses against various abiotic and biotic stresses, especially pathogens, is well validated. However, little known about cotton relation fungal pathogens. Here, a novel GLP gene was isolated from Gossypium hirsutum designated as GhABP19. expression GhABP19 upregulated plants inoculated with Verticillium dahliae Fusarium oxysporum response treatment jasmonic...
It is necessary to find more simple methods improve the detection selectivity and sensitivity of antibiotics. Herein, we constructed a novel three-dimensional (3D) Cd-MOF LCU-117 assembled from p-terphenyl-4,2″,5″,4'-tetracarboxylic acid, which showed special 3D helical structure with carboxylic acid ligands nitrogen-containing crossing each other vertically. Luminescence measurements indicated that has high toward Eu3+ through ratiometric effect. Meanwhile, this complex itself could detect...
Two supramolecular Co-MOF isomers, namely, {[Co(L)0.5(m-bimb)]·3H2O}n (LCU-115) and {[Co(L)0.5(p-bimb)]·3H2O}n (LCU-116), were synthesized from an amide-containing carboxylic acid N,N″-(3,5-dicarboxylphenyl)benzene-1,4-dicarboxamide (H4L) two flexible positional isostructural N-containing ligands m-bimb p-bimb (m-bimb = 1,3-bis((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzene; 1,4-bis((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzene). The carboxylate connect Co(II) centers to form 2D metal-carboxylate sheets, which are...

Peach (Prunus persica cv. Dajiubao) was chosen as a model to clarify the roles of IAA and ABA during fruit ripening process. Seventy days after flowering (DAF), fruits were treated with (0.1 mmol·L−1 1 mmol·L−1, respectively) transporter inhibitor (NPA) biosynthesis (NDGA). decreased concentration, increased ethylene leading (70 DAF) softening coloration. NPA had opposite effect. concentrations, hardness lack color. NDGA similar effects application. A qPCR analysis indicated that in immature...
The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease may be related to local damage and disturbances in intestinal microecology. Probiotic therapy is a safe effective therapeutic approach. Considering that fermented milk accepted enjoyed by many people as daily dietary intervention strategy, its potential alleviate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced chronic colitis mice needs explored. In this study, we evaluated the effects Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ZJ316-fermented establishing mouse model...
Cynanchum komarovii Al Iljinski is a xerophytic plant species widely distributing in the severely adverse environment of deserts northwest China. At present, detailed transcriptomic and genomic data for C. are still insufficient public databases. To investigate changes drought-responsive genes explore mechanisms drought tolerance komarovii, approximately 27.5 GB sequencing were obtained using Illumina technology. After de novo assembly 148,715 unigenes generated with an average length 604...
Plant cellulose is synthesized by rosette-structured synthase (CESA) complexes (CSCs). Each CSC composed of multiple subunits CESAs representing three different isoforms. Individual CESA proteins contain conserved catalytic domains for catalyzing synthesis, other such as plant-conserved sequences, and class-specific regions that are thought to facilitate complex assembly trafficking. Because the current lack atomic-resolution structures plant CSCs or CESAs, molecular mechanism through which...
A photoredox-catalyzed three-component radical cascade reaction of β,γ-unsaturated oximes/hydrazones, the sulfur dioxide surrogate DABCO·(SO 2 ) and alkenes under mild conditions is developed.
Two new isomorphic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed as multifunctional materials for carbon dioxide fixation and fluorescence detection.
Abstract Benzoates, particularly salicylic acid (SA) and its derivatives, play critical roles in plant immune responses basal defense through hydroxylation glycosylation. Anthracnose is one of the most common devastating diseases tea plants (Camellia sinensis). However, role SA derivatives immunity resistance to anthracnose remains largely unexplored. In present study, we identified characterized a glycosyltransferase, CsUGT74B5, which was significantly downregulated seedlings upon...
Sustainable conversion of epoxides and propargylic amines using CO2 could produce valuable chemical products. Efficient generally requires harsh conditions such as noble-metal catalysts, cocatalysts, toxic solvents, thereby underscoring the crucial need for environmentally friendly non-noble-metal metal–organic framework (MOF) catalysts. In this study, we designed a novel zinc-based with 5-fold interpenetrating diamond framework, specifically {[Zn(DMTDC)(bpy)]·H2O}n (Zn-MOF-2), where H2DMTDC...
