Root system architecture responds plastically to some abiotic stresses, including phosphorus (P), iron (Fe) and water deficiency, but its response mechanism is still unclear. We cloned characterized a vegetative β-expansin gene, GmEXPB2, from Pi starvation-induced soybean cDNA library. Transient expression of 35S::GmEXPB2-GFP in onion epidermal cells verified that GmEXPB2 secretory protein located on the cell wall. was found be primarily expressed roots, highly induced by starvation,...
Symbiotic nitrogen (N2 ) fixation plays a vital role in sustainable agriculture. Efficient N2 requires various materials, including phosphate (Pi); however, the molecular mechanism underlying transport of Pi into nodules and bacteroids remains largely unknown. A nodule-localized transporter, GmPT7, was functionally characterized soybean (Glycine max) its yield investigated via composite whole transgenic plants. GmPT7 protein localized to plasma membrane showed activity for yeast. Altered...
Acid soils occupy approximately 50% of potentially arable lands. Improving crop productivity in acid soils, therefore, will be crucial for ensuring food security and agricultural sustainability. High soil acidity often coexists with phosphorus (P) deficiency aluminum (Al) toxicity, a combination that severely impedes growth yield across wide areas. As roots explore the nutrients water required plant development, they also sense respond to below-ground stresses. Within terrestrial context...
Nodulation is an essential process for biological nitrogen (N2) fixation in legumes, but its regulation remains poorly understood. Here, a β-expansin gene, GmEXPB2, was found to be critical soybean (Glycine max) nodulation. GmEXPB2 preferentially expressed at the early stage of nodule development. β-Glucuronidase staining further showed that mainly localized vascular trace and bundles, as well cortical parenchyma cells, suggesting might involved cell wall modification extension during...
Legume crops contribute a great portion of clean nitrogen (N) to agro-ecosystems through symbiotic N2 fixation in the nodule; however, nodulation is always inhibited by high N availability which known as inhibitory effect largely unknown mechanisms. We functionally investigated miR169c-GmNFYA-C-GmENOD40 under multiple conditions soybean (Glycine max) (ENOD, Early Nodulin; NFYA, Nuclear Factor-Y Subunit A). elucidated their regulatory roles analyzing expression patterns, micro-messenger RNA...
Summary Though root architecture modifications may be critically important for improving phosphorus (P) efficiency in crops, the regulatory mechanisms triggering these changes remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that genotypic variation GmEXPB2 expression is strongly correlated with elongation and P acquisition efficiency, enhancing its transcription significantly improves soybean yield field. Promoter deletion analysis was performed using 5′ truncation fragments (P1–P6) of fused...
This study identifies interleukin-6 (IL-6)-independent phosphorylation of STAT3 Y705 at the early stage infection with several viruses, including influenza A virus (IAV). Such activation is dependent on retinoic acid-induced gene I/mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein/spleen tyrosine kinase (RIG-I/MAVS/Syk) axis and critical for antiviral immunity. We generate STAT3Y705F/+ knockin mice that display a remarkably suppressed response to IAV infection, as evidenced by impaired expression...
Phosphorus (P) is an essential yet frequently deficient plant nutrient. Optimizing P distribution and recycling between tissues vital for improving utilization efficiency (PUE). Yet, the mechanisms underlying transport re-translocation of within plants remain unclear. Here, wide-ranging natural diversity in seed allocation positive correlations among yield traits were found using 190 soybean accessions field trials. Among them, P-efficient genotype BX10 outperformed BD2 assessments PUE that...
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] is an important legume crop and its yield largely depends on root architecture (RA) biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). However, the relationship between RA BNF, genetics behind remain unclear. Here, two soybean genotypes contrasting in their 175 F9:11 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were evaluated field. The shallow-root parent, JD12, had better nodulation higher than deep-root NF58. Strong correlations shoot dry weight (SDW) or BNF traits existed RILs, group...
Nitrogen fixation in soybean takes place root nodules that arise from de novo cell divisions the cortex. Although several early nodulin genes have been identified, mechanism behind stimulation of cortical division during nodulation has not fully resolved. Here we provide evidence two paralogs SHORT-ROOT (GmSHR) play vital roles nodulation. Expression GmSHR4 and GmSHR5 (GmSHR4/5) is induced cells at beginning nodulation, when first occur. The expression level GmSHR4/5 positively associated...
Nodulation is crucial for biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in legumes, but the molecular mechanisms underlying BNF have remained elusive. Here, we cloned a candidate gene major nodulation quantitative trait locus soybean (Glycine max), INCREASING NODULE SIZE1 (GmINS1). GmINS1 encodes cell wall β-expansin and expressed primarily vascular bundles, along with cortical parenchyma cells of nodules. Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms distinguishing two parents were found promoter region. Among...
Efficient biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) requires leghaemoglobin (Lb) to modulate oxygen pressure in nodules. Excess N supply severely inhibits BNF through effects on Lb during nodulation. As yet, a systematic identification and characterization of Lb-encoding genes soybean has not been reported.The were studied plants inoculated with rhizobia exposed excess or low availability hydroponic cultures. To identify proteins, BLAST searches performed the Phytozome website. Bioinformatic...
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) provides sufficient (N) to meet most legume nutrition demands. In return, host plants feed symbionts carbohydrates produced in shoots. However, the molecular dialogue between shoots and remains largely mysterious. Here, we report map-based cloning characterization of a natural variation GmNN1 , ortholog Arabidopsis thaliana FLOWERING LOCUS T ( FT2a ) that simultaneously triggers nodulation soybean modulates leaf N nutrition. A 43-bp insertion promoter region...
Cotton is the most important cash crop in Xinjiang but low utilization rate of water and fertilizer restricting healthy development this industry. At present, there a lack nitrogen management optimization methods based on multi-objectives cotton use efficiency (WUE), (NUE), yield, income. A continuous field experiment was conducted during 2017–2018 to study effects water–nitrogen coupling growth, WUE, NUE, partial factor productivity, quality, economic benefits under drip irrigation northern...
Abstract In arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, sugars in root cortical cells could be exported as glucose or sucrose into peri‐arbuscular space for use by AM fungi. However, no sugar transporter has been identified to involved export. An AM‐inducible SWEET transporter, GmSWEET6, was functionally characterised soybean, and its role symbiosis investigated via transgenic plants. The expression of GmSWEET6 enhanced inoculation with the cooperative fungal strain both leaves roots....
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which first broken out in Jeddah 2012, causes a severe acute respiratory illness with high mortality rate. To better understand the molecular characteristics of isolated MERS-CoV genomes, we analysed codon usage pattern zoonotic strains comprehensively to gain an insight into mechanism cross-species transmission. We found that MERS human/camel isolates showed low bias. Both mutation and nature selection pressure have contributed this...
The classical swine fever virus (CSFV), circulating worldwide, is a highly contagious virus. Since the emergence of CSFV, it has caused great economic loss in industry. envelope glycoprotein E2 gene CSFV an immunoprotective antigen that induces immune system to produce neutralizing antibodies. Therefore, essential study codon usage CSFV. In this study, 140 coding sequences were analyzed. value effective number codons (ENC) showed low bias gene. Our could be described mainly by mutation...
