Abstract Flavonoids are usually present in forms of glucosides plants, which could be catabolized by β ‐glucosidase (BGLU) to form their corresponding flavonoid aglycones. In this study, we isolated three abiotic‐responsive BGLU genes ( MtBGLU17, MtBGLU21 and MtBGLU22 ) from Medicago truncatula , found only the recombinant MtBGLU17 protein catalyse hydrolysis glycosides. The is active towards a variety glucosides, including flavones (apigenin luteolin), flavonols (kaempferol quercetin),...
Abstract Sex chromosomes display remarkable diversity and variability among vertebrates. Compared with research on the X/Y Z/W chromosomes, which have long evolutionary histories in mammals birds, studies sex at early stages are limited. Here, we precisely assembled genomes of homozygous XX female YY male Lanzhou catfish (Silurus lanzhouensis) derived from an artificial gynogenetic family a self-fertilized family, respectively. Chromosome 24 (Chr24) was identified as chromosome based...
The calcineurin B-like protein (CBL) and CBL-interacting kinase (CIPK) play important roles in plant signal transduction response to abiotic stress. Plants of Medicago genus contain many forages, their growth is often affected by a variety stresses. However, studies on the CBL CIPK family member function are rare Medicago. In this study, total 23 58 genes were identified from genome sativa as an forage crop, Medicaog truncatula model plant. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that these could be...
From insects to mammals, both innate and adaptive immune response are usually higher in females than males, with the sex chromosome hormonal differences considered main reasons. Here, we report that zebrafish cyp19a1a (cytochrome P450, family 19, subfamily A, polypeptide 1a), an autosomal gene female-biased expression, causes female fish exhibit a lower antiviral response. First, successfully constructed infection model by intraperitoneal injection of spring viremia carp virus (SVCV) into...
Unisexual taxa are commonly considered short-lived as the absence of meiotic recombination is supposed to accumulate deleterious mutations and hinder creation genetic diversity. However, gynogenetic gibel carp ( Carassius gibelio ) with high diversity wide ecological distribution has outlived its predicted extinction time a strict unisexual reproduction population. Unlike other vertebrates, males associated supernumerary microchromosomes have been observed in carp, which provides unique...
Unisexual lineages are commonly considered to be short-lived in the evolutionary process as accumulation of deleterious mutations stated by Muller’s ratchet. However, gynogenetic hexaploid gibel carp ( Carassius gibelio ) with existence over 0.5 million years has wider ecological distribution and higher genetic diversity than its sexual progenitors, which provides an ideal model investigate underlying mechanisms on countering ratchet unisexual taxa. Unlike other lineages, wild populations...
Although evolutionary fates and expression patterns of duplicated genes have been extensively investigated, how co-regulate a biological process in polyploids remains largely unknown. Here, we identified two gsdf (gonadal somatic cell-derived factor) homeologous (gsdf-A gsdf-B) hexaploid gibel carp (Carassius gibelio), wherein each homeolog contained three highly conserved alleles. Interestingly, gsdf-A gsdf-B transcription were mainly activated by dmrt1-A (dsx- mab-3-related factor 1)...
Growth Regulatory Factors (GRF) are plant-specific transcription factors that play critical roles in plant growth and development as well tolerance against stress. In this study, a total of 16 GRF genes were identified from the genomes Medicago truncatula sativa. Multiple sequence alignment analysis showed all these members contain conserved QLQ WRC domains. Phylogenetic suggested proteins could be classified into five clusters. The similar exon–intron organizations architectures their...
Nuclear factor YB (NF-YB) are plant-specific transcription factors that play a critical regulatory role in plant growth and development as well resistance against various stresses. In this study, total of 49 NF-YB genes were identified from the genomes Medicago truncatula sativa. Multiple sequence alignment analysis showed all these members contain DNA binding domain, NF-YA interaction domain NF-YC domain. Phylogenetic suggested proteins could be classified into five distinct clusters. We...
Fatty liver has become a main problem that causes huge economic losses in many aquaculture modes. It is common physiological or pathological phenomenon aquaculture, but the and occurring mechanism are remaining enigmatic.
Aquaporins (AQP) are distributed ubiquitously in plants, and they play important roles multiple aspects of plant growth development, as well resistance to various environmental stresses. In this study, 43 MsAQP genes were identified the forage crop Medicago sativa. All proteins clustered into four subfamilies based on sequence similarity phylogenetic relationship, including 17 TIPs, 14 NIPs, 9 PIPs 3 SIPs. Analyses gene structure conserved domains indicated that majority deduced contained...
The high-affinity K+ transporter (HAK) family plays a vital role in uptake and transport as well salt drought stress responses. In the present study, we identified 22 HAK genes each Medicago truncatula sativa genome. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that these proteins could be divided into four clades, members of same subgroup share similar gene structure conserved motifs. Many cis-acting elements related with defense were found their promoter region. addition, expression profiles analyzed...
Medicago falcata L. is an important legume forage grass with strong drought resistant, which could be utilized as gene pool in molecular breed of grass. In this study, M. seedlings were treated 400 mM mannitol to simulate stress, and the morphological physiological changes investigated, well transcriptome at different treatment time points (0 h, 2 6 12 24 36 h 48 h). Transcriptome analyses revealed four modules closely related response by WGCNA analysis, ERF transcription factor genes stress...
Plant β-galactosidases (BGAL) function in various cell wall biogeneses and modifications, they belong to the glycoside hydrolase family. However, roles of BGAL family members Medicago truncatula remodeling remain unclear. In this study, a total 25 MtBGAL gene 35 were identified, clustered into nine sub-families. Many cis-acting elements possibly related MeJA abscisic acid responses identified promoter region genes. Transcript analyses showed that these genes exhibited distinct expression...
