Abstract Intron retention (IR) is the most common alternative splicing event in Arabidopsis . An increasing number of studies have demonstrated major role IR gene expression regulation. The impacts on plant growth and development response to environments remain underexplored. Here, we found that functions directly regulation a genome-wide scale through detainment intron-retained transcripts (IRTs) nucleus. Nuclear-retained IRTs can be kept away from translation this mechanism. COP1-dependent...
The fruit development and ripening process involve a series of changes regulated by fine-tune gene expression at the transcriptional level. Acetylation levels histones on lysine residues are dynamically histone acetyltransferases (HATs) deacetylases (HDACs), which play an essential role in control expression. However, their regulating process, especially pepper (Capsicum annuum), typical non-climacteric fruit, remains to understand. Herein, we performed genome-wide analyses HDAC HAT family...
Retrocopies, which are considered “junk genes,” occasionally formed via the insertion of reverse-transcribed mRNAs at new positions in genome. However, an increasing number recent studies have shown that some retrocopies exhibit biological functions and may contribute to genome evolution. Hence, identification has become very meaningful for studying gene duplication generation. Current pipelines identify through complex operations using alignment programs filter scripts a step-by-step...
Abstract Abiotic stresses are major factors constraining the growth, development and productivity of tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ), most cultivated vegetable crop worldwide. Uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases (UDPGTs or UGTs) essential enzymes that utilize 5-uridine as a glycosyl donor molecule to facilitate catalysis glycosylation reactions across diverse substrates, thereby playing pivotal role in conferring abiotic stress tolerance. Currently, there is limited understanding...
Abstract The phytohormone auxin and light both regulate plant elongation growth. Light suppresses hypocotyl elongation, whereas promotes it. However, can reverse its effect inhibit when applied to etiolated seedlings or in high dosages. How dosages conditions change the of on growth has long been mysterious. We found that, regardless dosage, more induces transcription SAURs ( Small Auxin-Up RNAs ), leading a stronger activation plasma membrane proton pump H + -ATPases (AHAs), consequently,...
In eukaryotes, chromatin is compacted within nuclei under the principle of compartmentalization. On top that, condensin II establishes eukaryotic chromosome territories, while cohesin organizes vertebrate genome by extruding loops and forming topologically associating domains (TADs). Thus far, formation roles these structures in plants remain poorly understood. This study integrates Hi-C data from diverse plant species, demonstrating that nuclear DNA content influences large-scale...
Retroduplication variation (RDV), a type of retrocopy polymorphism, is considered to have essential biological significance, but its effect on gene function and species phenotype still poorly understood. To this end, we analyzed the retrocopies RDVs in 3,010 rice genomes. We calculated RDV frequencies genome each population; detected mutated, ancestral expressed retrogenes genomes; their influence phenotypic traits. Collectively, 73 were identified, 14 can significantly affect phenotypes....
