Summary Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved pathway in eukaryotes that delivers unwanted cytoplasmic materials to the lysosome/vacuole for degradation/recycling. Stimulated autophagy emerges as integral part of plant immunity against intracellular pathogens. In this study, we used turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) a model investigate involvement RNA infection. The small membrane protein 6K2 TuMV, known marker replication site and elicitor unfolded response (UPR), upregulates selective receptor...
ABSTRACT Reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays critical roles in modulating plant growth and stress response its homeostasis is fine tuned using multiple peroxidases. H 2 O , a major kind of ROS, removed rapidly directly three catalases, CAT1, CAT2, CAT3, Arabidopsis. Although the activity regulations catalases have been well studied, their degradation pathway less clear. Here, we report that CAT2 CAT3 protein abundance was partially controlled 26S proteasome. To further identify candidate...
Abstract Auxin resistant 1/like aux1 ( AUX / LAX ), pin-formed PIN ) and ATP binding cassette subfamily B ABCB MDR PGP are three families of auxin transport genes. The development-related functions the influx efflux carriers have been well studied characterized in model plants. However, there is scant information regarding genes Chinese cabbage responses exogenous polar inhibitors (PATIs). We conducted a whole-genome annotation bioinformatics analysis BrAUX LAX, BrPIN , BrPGP cabbage. By...
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins can act as transporters of different substrates across biological membranes by hydrolyzing ATP. However, little information is available about ABC in Brassica rapa, an important leafy vegetable. In the present study, we carried out genome-wide identification, characterization and molecular evolution analyses gene family B. rapa 9 other plant species. A total 179 genes (BraABCs) were identified. Among them, 173 BraABCs identified on 10 chromosomes. Based...
Plantago is a major genus belonging to the Plantaginaceae family and used in herbal medicine, functional food, pastures. Several species are also characterized by their global distribution, but mechanism underpinning this not known. Here, we present high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of L., Plantago, incorporating Oxford Nanopore sequencing Hi-C technologies. The size was approximately 671.27 Mb with contig N50 length 31.30 Mb. 31,654 protein-coding genes were identified from...
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are vital epigenetic modifiers not only in regulating plant development but also abiotic- and biotic-stress responses. Though to date, the functions of HD2C-an HD2-type HDAC-In abiotic stress have been intensively explored, its function biotic remains unknown. In this study, we identified HD2C as an interaction partner Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) P6 protein. It a positive regulator defending against CaMV infection. The hd2c mutants show enhanced...
Abstract Heat shock transcription factor (HSF) is one of the most important regulatory elements in plant development and stress response. Rhohomyrtus tomentosa has many advantages adapting to high temperature humidity climates, whereas inherence barely been elucidated. In this study, we aimed characterize HSF family investigate thermal adaption mechanisms R. . We identified 25 genes genome. They could be classified into three classes: HSFA, HSFB, HSFC. Gene duplication event a major...
The arms race between plants and viruses never ceases. Chinese cabbage, an important type of Brassica vegetable crop, is vulnerable to plant virus infection, especially Turnip mosaic (TuMV). To better examine the molecular mechanisms behind we conducted a correlation analysis RNA-Seq quantitative iTRAQ-LC-MS/MS in TuMV-infected healthy cabbage leaves. There were 757 differentially expressed genes 75 proteins that screened infected with TuMV. These enriched many pathways, among them, hormone...
Sorting nexin protein is a class of highly conserved eukaryotic proteins containing the PX domain. Recent studies related to SNX in plants have focused on regulation abiotic stress processes, and there are few involvement biological processes plants. In this paper, YTH assay BiFC experiments were conducted twice show that BcSNX3 (Brassica campestris 3) interacted with CP VPg TuMV, interaction between BcATG8h autophagy-related gene 8h) was also found by BiFC. The colocalization BcATG8b 8b)...
Heterosis plays a significant role in enhancing variety, boosting yield, and raising economic value crops, but the molecular mechanism is still unclear. We analyzed transcriptomes 3D genomes of hybrid (F1) its parents (w30 082). The analysis expression revealed total 485 specially expressed genes (SEGs), 173 differentially (DEGs) above parental level, more actively genes, up-regulated DEGs F1. Further study that detected F1 were mainly involved response to auxin, plant hormone signal...
Abstract The plant U‐box (PUB) proteins, a family of ubiquitin ligases (E3) enzymes, are pivotal in orchestrating many biological processes and facilitating responses to environmental stressors. Despite their critical roles, exploring the PUB gene family's characteristics functional diversity sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) has been notably limited. There were 81 IbPUB genes identified within genome, they categorized into eight distinct groups based on domain architecture,...
Clathrin is an evolutionarily highly conserved evolutionary protein consisting of clathrin light chains (CLC) and heavy (CHC), these form its basic structure. important host factor in the process viral infection. In this study, we cloned BcCLC1 gene BcCLC2 from '49CX' variety non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC, Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino) verified their functions. The results showed that was mainly localized cytomembrane cytoplasm, only a small amount entered nucleus....
Polyploids generated by the replication of a single genome (autopolyploid) or synthesis two more distinct genomes (allopolyploid) usually show significant advantages over their diploid progenitors in biological characteristics, including growth and development, nutrient accumulation, plant resistance. Whereas, impacts genomic on transcription regulation chromatin structure pak choi have not been explored fully. In this study, we observed transcriptional structural alterations between B. rapa...
TFIIIA is a zinc-finger transcription factor that involved in post-transcriptional regulation during development. Here, the BcTFIIIA gene was isolated from pak choi. Sequence analysis showed encodes 383 amino acids (aa) with an open reading frame (ORF) of 1152 base pairs (bp). We investigated subcellular location and found localized protein nucleus. suppressed when choi infected by turnip mosaic virus (TuMV). The mRNA expression level resistant variety higher than sensitive variety, as...
