Isobutylene, a monomer for butyl rubber production, is traditionally obtained via the thermal cracking of natural gas. However, this route should be superseded by those that rely on chemical or biological valorization renewables to reduce our dependence fossil resources. Despite extensive research biobased rubber, its economically viable large-scale production from bioisobutylene remains underexplored. This study develops process microbial isobutanol and conversion isobutylene rubber. The...

The plant homeodomain (PHD)-finger gene family that belongs to zinc-finger genes, plays an important role in epigenetics by regulating expression eukaryotes. However, inaccurate annotation of PHD-finger genes hinders further downstream comparative, evolutionary, and functional studies.We performed genome-wide re-annotation Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), Oryza sativa (rice), Capsicum annuum (pepper), Solanum tuberosum (potato), lycopersicum (tomato) better understand the these species....

Transposable element (TE)-derived genes are increasingly recognized as major sources conferring essential traits in agriculturally important crops but underlying evolutionary mechanisms remain obscure. We updated previous annotations and constructed 18,744 FAR-RED IMPAIRED RESPONSE1 (FAR1) genes, a transcription factor family derived from Mutator-like elements (MULEs), 80 plant species, including 15,546 omitted annotations. In-depth sequence comparison of the gene repertoire revealed that...

Abstract Gene families divergently evolve and become adapted as different genes with specific structures functions in living organisms. We performed comprehensive structural functional analyses of Zinc-finger homeodomain (ZF-HDs), including Mini zinc-finger (MIFs) (ZHDs), displaying competitive each other. Intensive annotation updates for 90 plant genomes verified that most MIFs (MIF-Is) exhibited distinct motif compositions from ZHDs, although some (MIF-Zs) contained ZHD-specific motifs....
