Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) conferred by the cytoplasm from Gossypium harknessii (D2) is an important system for hybrid seed production in Upland cotton (G. hirsutum). The of CMS-D2 (i.e., A line) can be restored to fertility a restorer R carrying gene Rf1 transferred D2 nuclear genome. However, molecular mechanisms and its restoration are poorly understood. In this study, genome-wide comparative transcriptome analysis was performed identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) flower...
Clubroot is an economically important disease affecting plants in the family Cruciferae worldwide. In this study, a collection of 50 accessions was screened using Plasmodiophora brassicae pathotype 4 China. Eight these demonstrated resistance, including three Chinese cabbages, two one radish, kale, and Brassica juncea. The clubroot-resistant cabbages (1003, 1007 1008) were then used to transfer clubroot resistance genes B. napus by distant hybridization combined with embryo rescue. Three...
Anther development in flowering plants is highly sensitive to high-temperature (HT) stress. Understanding the potential epigenetic mechanism of anther infertility induced by HT stress cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) crucial for effective use genetic resources guide plant breeding. Using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, we map cytosine methylation at single-base resolution across whole genome anthers, and changes methylome cytoplasmic male sterility system associated with were analysed two...
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the most important fiber crop worldwide. Characterizing genotype by environment interaction (GEI) helpful to identify stable genotypes across diverse environments. This study was conducted in six environments compare performance and stability of 11 inbred lines 30 intraspecific hybrids cotton. Analysis variance using additive main effects multiplicative model revealed that (G), (E), GEI had highly significant on yield quality traits. Mean comparisons among...
Utilization of heterosis has greatly improved the productivity many crops worldwide. Understanding potential molecular mechanism about how hybridization produces superior yield in upland cotton is critical for efficient breeding programs.In this study, high, medium, and low hybrids varying level were screened based on field experimentation different years locations. Phenotypically, high hybrid produced a mean 14% more seed than its better parent. Whole-genome RNA sequencing these their four...
Abstract Background ORFV attenuated live vaccines have been the main prophylactic measure against contagious ecthyma in sheep and goats last decades, which play an important role preventing outbreak of disease. However, available do not induce lasting immunity goats. On other hand, variation terminal genome Orf virus vaccine strains during cell culture adaptation may affect efficacy a vaccine. Currently, there are no more effective antiviral treatments for ecthyma. Results We constructed...
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in flowering plants is usually caused by incompatibility between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, can be restored genes known as restorer-of-fertility (Rf). Although the CMS/Rf system useful convenient for economic production of commercial hybrid seed, molecular mechanisms CMS occurrence fertility restoration cotton are unclear.Here, a combined small RNA transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed on floral buds at meiosis stage three-line system,...
Abstract Background and Aims Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is one of the most important oil crops worldwide. Phosphorus (P) deficiency severely decreases plant height branch number B. napus. However, genetic bases controlling in napus under P remain largely unknown. This study aims to mine candidate genes for by genome-wide association (GWAS) determine low-P-tolerance haplotypes. Methods An panel was grown field with a low supply (P, 0 kg ha−1) sufficient 40 across 2 years were investigated....
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification involved in multiple biological processes. Altered patterns have been reported to be associated with male sterility some plants, but their role cotton cytoplasmic (CMS) remains unclear. Here, integrated methylome and transcriptome analyses were conducted between the CMS-D2 line ZBA its near-isogenic maintainer ZB upland cotton. More methylated cytosine sites (mCs) higher levels (MLs) found among three sequence contexts compared ZBA. A...
Freezing tolerance is a significant trait in plants that grow cold environments and survive through the winter. Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) cold-tolerant fruit tree, of its bark important for survival at low temperatures. However, little known about gene activity related to freezing tolerance. To better understand expression regulation properties dormant apple trees, we analyzed transcriptomic divergences from 1-year-old branches two cultivars, "Golden Delicious" (G) "Jinhong" (H), which...
Abstract Oilseed rape ( Brassica napus ) is one of the most important oil crops in world and shows sensitivity to low phosphorus (P) availability. In many soils, organic P (Po) main component soil pool. Po must be mineralised Pi through phosphatases, then taken up by plants. However, relationship between root‐secreted acid phosphatases (APase) root morphology traits, two P‐acquisition strategies response deficiency, unclear among B. genotypes. This study aimed understand their how they...
Abstract Cotton is an important cash crop for the textile industry. However, understanding of natural genetic variation fiber elongation in relation to miRNA lacking. A gene (miR477b) was found co‐localize with a previously mapped length (FL) quantitative trait locus (QTL). The miR477b differentially expressed during between two backcross inbred lines (BILs) differing FL and its precursor sequences. Bioinformatics qRT‐PCR analysis were further used analyse genes, which could produce mature...
Cytoplasmic male sterility in flowering plants is a convenient way to use heterosis via hybrid breeding and may be restored by nuclear restorer-of-fertility (Rf) genes. In most cases, Rf genes encoded pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins several are present clusters of similar Rf-PPR-like (RFL) However, the cotton were not fully characterized until now. total, 35 RFL identified G. hirsutum, 16 arboreum, 24 raimondii. Additionally, four RFL-rich regions identified; region Gh_D05 probable...
Abstract Cotton fiber is one of the most important natural raw materials in world textile industry. Improving yield and quality has always been main goal. MicroRNAs, as typical small noncoding RNAs, could affect length during different stages development. Based on differentially expressed microRNA two interspecific backcross inbred lines (BILs) with a significant difference length, we identified miR396 gene family tetraploid cotton genomes found MIR396b_D13 functional precursor to produce...
The RNA editing occurring in plant organellar genomes mainly involves the change of cytidine to uridine. This process a deamination reaction, with deaminase as catalyst. Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins C-terminal DYW domain are reportedly associated deamination, similar members superfamily. PPR genes involved many cellular functions and biological processes including fertility restoration cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) plants. In this study, we identified 227 211 deaminase-coding...
Abstract Background ATP1A2 gene mutation has been indicated to cause alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC); however, limited evidence supports this relationship so far. Case presentation We reported two Chinese patients with de novo variants (c.970G>A and c.889G>A). Both presented episodes hemiplegia, seizures mild developmental delay. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed abnormal signals in both patients. Conclusions The new genetic we here strengthened the gene–disease...
