Pearl millet is an important cereal crop worldwide and shows superior heat tolerance. Here, we developed a graph-based pan-genome by assembling ten chromosomal genomes with one existing assembly adapted to different climates captured 424,085 genomic structural variations (SVs). Comparative genomics transcriptomics analyses revealed the expansion of RWP-RK transcription factor family involvement endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-related genes in The overexpression gene led enhanced plant tolerance...

Auxin response factor (ARF), a transcription factor, is crucial in controlling growth, development, and to environmental stress. Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata) an economically significant, widely cultivated forage grass. However, information on the genome-wide functional characterization of ARFs orchardgrass limited. This study identified 27 ARF genes based genome database. These DgARFs were unevenly distributed across seven chromosomes clustered into four classes. Phylogenetic analysis...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect soaking with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on white clover (Trifolium repens cv. Haifa) seed germination under salt stress induced by 100 mM NaCl. Seeds GABA (1 μM) significantly alleviated salt-induced decreases in endogenous content, percentage, vigor, index, shoot and root length, fresh dry weight, activity seedling during seven days germination. Exogenous application accelerated starch catabolism via activation amylase also reduced...

Increased endogenous chitosan (CTS) could be associated with improved drought resistance in white clover (Trifolium repens). Plants were pretreated or without 1 mg/mL CTS and then subjected to optimal water-limited condition controlled growth chambers for 6 days. Phenotypic physiological results indicated that exogenous significantly of clover. Metabolome showed induced a significant increase content during dehydration accompanied by the maintenance greater accumulation sugars, sugar...

This study was designed to determine the effect of exogenous spermidine (Spd) (30 μM) on white clover seed germination under water stress induced by polyethylene glycol 6000. Use priming with Spd improved percentage, vigor, index, root viability and length, shortened mean time different conditions. Seedling fresh weight dry also increased significantly in Spd-treated seeds compared control (seeds primed distilled water). Improved starch metabolism considered a possible reason for this...

Abstract Background Heat and drought are serious threats for crop growth development. As the sixth largest cereal in world, pearl millet can not only be used food forage but also as a source of bioenergy. Pearl is highly tolerant to heat drought. Given this, it considered an ideal study plant stress tolerance identify heat-resistant genes. Results In this study, we Pacbio sequencing data reference sequence analyze Illumina that had been subjected 48 h. By summarizing previous studies, found...

Subgroup 4 of R2R3-MYB transcription factors consists four members, MYB3, MYB4, MYB7, and MYB32, which possess the conserved EAR repression motif (pdLHLD/LLxiG/S) in their C termini. Here, we show that MYB3 is a newly identified repressor Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. However, mechanism completely different from MYB32. Yeast two-hybrid screening using as bait isolates NIGHT LIGHT-INDUCIBLE AND CLOCK-REGULATED1 (LNK1) LNK2, members small family LNK proteins....

Abstract Drought stress is one of the most immense and permanent constraints in agriculture, which leads to a massive loss crop productivity. However, little known about mitigation role exogenously applied abscisic acid (ABA) jasmonic (JA) pearl millet ( Pennisetum glaucum L.) under PEG‐induced drought stress. Therefore, current study investigated putative exogenous ABA JA improving tolerance millet. Thirteen‐day‐old seedlings were exposed six different treatments as follow; control (ck),...

Perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.) is an important cool-season grass species that widely cultivated in temperate regions worldwide but usually sensitive to heat stress. Jasmonates (JAs) may have a positive effect on plant tolerance under In this study, results showed exogenous methyl jasmonic acid (MeJA) could significantly improve of perennial through alteration osmotic adjustment, antioxidant defense, and the expression JA-responsive genes. MeJA-induced was involved maintenance better...
