The medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) is a popular pet in Japan and more recently laboratory model organism for developmental genetics evolutionary biology. Now the medaka's genome has been sequenced analysed by large Japanese consortium. Cichlids stickleback, which are emerging systems understanding genetic basis of vertebrate speciation, evolutionarily closer to than zebrafish, so sequence will yield valuable insights into 400 million years evolution. long organism; it now its Teleosts...
The OsbZIP23 transcription factor has been characterized for its essential role in drought resistance rice (Oryza sativa), but the mechanism is unknown. In this study, we first investigated transcriptional activation of OsbZIP23. A homolog SnRK2 protein kinase (SAPK2) was found to interact with and phosphorylate activation. SAPK2 also interacted OsPP2C49, an ABI1 homolog, which deactivated inhibit activity Next, performed genome-wide identification targets by immunoprecipitation sequencing...
ABSTRACT The structural and functional diversity of plant metabolites is largely created via chemical modification a basic backbone. However, metabolite modifications in plants have still not been thoroughly investigated by metabolomics approaches. In this study, widely targeted modificomics (WTMM) strategy was developed based on ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography‐quadrupole‐linear ion trap (UHPLC‐Q‐Trap) UHPLC‐Q‐Exactive‐Orbitrap (UHPLC‐QE‐Orbitrap), which greatly improved the...
Abstract Background Coconut is an important tropical oil and fruit crop whose evolutionary position renders it a fantastic species for the investigation of evolution monocot chromosomes subsequent differentiation ancient plants. Results Here, we report assembly annotation reference-grade genomes Cn. tall dwarf , genome sizes are 2.40 Gb 2.39 Gb, respectively. The comparative analysis reveals that two coconut subspecies diverge about 2–8 Mya while conserved Arecaceae-specific whole-genome...
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the most valuable fruit and horticultural crop species worldwide. Compared with fruits of their progenitors, those modern tomato cultivars are, however, often described as having unsatisfactory taste or lacking flavor. The flavor a arises from complex mix tastes volatile metabolites, including sugars, acids, amino various volatiles. However, considerable differences in occur among varieties, resulting mixed consumer experiences. While breeding has...
Abstract Plants orchestrate drought responses at metabolic level but the genetic basis remains elusive in rice. In this study, 233 drought-responsive metabolites (DRMs) were quantified a large rice population comprised of 510 diverse accessions reproductive stage. Large variations detected, and little correlation levels between normal conditions observed. Interestingly, most these DRMs could predict resistance high accuracy. Genome-wide association study revealed 2522 significant signals for...
Areca catechu L., of the Arecaceae family, is widely distributed in tropical Asia. In A. catechu, extracts and compounds, including flavonoids, have various pharmacological activities. Although there are many studies molecular mechanism their biosynthesis regulation remains unclear catechu. this study, 331 metabolites were identified from root, stem, leaf using untargeted metabolomics, 107 71 lipids, 44 amino acids derivatives, 33 alkaloids. The transcriptome analysis 6119 differentially...
Abstract Background Sweetpotato is a typical ‘‘potassium (K + ) favoring’’ food crop, which root differentiation process needs large supply of potassium fertilizer and determine the final yield. To further understand regulatory network response to low stress, here we analyze physiological biochemical characteristics, investigated transcriptional changes in two sweetpotato genotypes, namely, - K tolerant “Xu32” susceptible“NZ1”. Result We found Xu32 had higher capability absorption than NZ1...
Volatile accumulation during tomato ripening greatly affects the fruit flavor. In this study, four accessions from each of three subgroups (BIG, S. lycopersicum, CER, lycopersicumvar. Cerasiforme, and PIM, pimpinellifolium) were subjected to a sensory evaluation. The CER subgroup had highest fruit-flavor score. Using Headspace solid-phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (HP-SPME/GC-MS), volatile database containing 94 volatiles was created. Pentanal accumulated in green...
UV-B, an important environmental factor, has been shown to affect the yield and quality of rice (Oryza sativa) worldwide. However, molecular mechanisms underlying response UV-B stress remain elusive in rice.
ABSTRACT Plants have evolved a sophisticated chemical defense network to counteract pathogens, with phenolamides and salicylic acid (SA) playing pivotal roles in the immune response. However, synergistic regulatory mechanisms of their biosynthesis remain be explored. Here, we identified biosynthetic gene cluster on chromosome 2 (BGC2) associated phenolamide SA, wherein key component SlEPS1 exhibits dual catalytic functions for synthesis SA. Overexpression BGC2 tomato enhanced resistance...
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary carbohydrate sources on growth performance and hepatic metabolic enzyme activities juvenile cobia. Six experimental diets were formulated contain 20% glucose, sucrose, maltose, dextrin, corn starch wheat respectively. The results indicated that fish fed dextrin showed significantly better weight gain, specific rate protein efficiency ratio compared with those other diets. However, glucose diet had a lower survival...
Lamin proteins in animals are implicated important nuclear functions, including chromatin organization, signalling transduction, gene regulation and cell differentiation. Nuclear Matrix Constituent Proteins (NMCPs) lamin analogues plants, but their regulatory functions remain largely unknown. We report that OsNMCP1 is localized at the periphery rice (Oryza sativa) induced by drought stress. overexpression resulted a deeper thicker root system, enhanced resistance compared to wild-type...
Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinases (CCaMKs) and mitogen-activated kinase (MAPKKs) are two types of that regulate salt stress response in plants. It remains unclear, however, how they cooperatively affect lateral root growth under stress. Here, conserved phosphorylation sites (S102 T118) OsCaM1 were identified, found to the ability bind Ca2+in vitro activity OsCCaMK vivo. specifically interacted with OsMKK1/6 a Ca2+/CaM-dependent manner. In vivo dual-luciferase assays revealed...
Summary Thousands of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) have been identified in rice under drought stress conditions. However, the regulatory mechanism these DEGs remains largely unclear. Here, we report an interplay between histone H3K4me3 modification and transcription factor OsbZIP23 regulation a dehydrin gene cluster conditions rice. When level was increased, expression levels were binding to promoter also enhanced. Conversely, downregulated osbzip23 mutant Our study uncovers...
