Many studies have shown that individuals from invasive populations of many different plant species grow larger than native and this difference has a genetic basis. This increased vigor in is thought to be due life history tradeoffs, which selection favors the loss costly defense traits, thereby freeing resources can devoted growth or fecundity. Despite theoretical importance such allocation shifts for invasions, there been no efforts understand apparent evolutionary defense-growth...
Abstract Sucrose is not only the carbon source for starch synthesis, but also a signal molecule. Alone or in coordination with ABA, it can regulate expression of genes involved synthesis. To investigate molecular mechanisms underlying this effect, maize endosperms were collected from Zea mays L. B73 inbred line 10 d after pollination and treated sucrose, sucrose plus ABA at 28 °C dark 24 h. RNA-sequence analysis endosperm transcriptome revealed 47 candidate transcription factors among...
Wild potato species have substantial phenotypic and physiological diversity. Here, we report a comprehensive assessment of wild cultivated based on genomic analyses 201 accessions Solanum section Petota. We sequenced the genomes these identified 6 487 006 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 167 in clade 4 Petota, including 146 21 diploid with broad geographic distribution. Genome-wide genetic variation analysis showed that diversity potatoes is higher than potatoes, much...
1. Many studies testing the evolution of increased competitive ability hypothesis have focused on whether plants from invasive populations a species show reduced allocation to defence and growth than native populations. But few attempted understand ecophysiological mechanisms by which decreased may increase growth. 2. Previously, we found that Ageratina adenophora nitrogen photosynthesis reduce cell walls compared with plants, suggesting shift in Here, carrying this work forward, measured...
Starch synthase I (SSI) contributes the majority of starch activity in developing maize endosperm. In this work, effects various plant hormones and sugars on expression gene (ZmSSI) endosperms were examined. The accumulation ZmSSI mRNA was induced using abscisic acid (ABA) but not with glucose, sucrose, or gibberellin treatment. To investigate molecular mechanism underlying effect, promoter region (–1537 to +51) isolated analysed. A transient assay endosperm tissue showed that full-length is...
Magnesium (Mg) is one of the essential nutrients for all living organisms. Plants acquire Mg from environment and distribute within their bodies in ionic form via Mg2+-permeable transporters. In Arabidopsis, plasma membrane-localized magnesium transporter MGT6 mediates Mg2+ uptake under Mg-limited conditions, therefore important plant adaptation to low-Mg environment. this study, we further assessed physiological function using a knockout T-DNA insertional mutant allele. We found that was...
Aging is a biological process of progressive deterioration physiological functions, which poses serious threat to individual health and heavy burden on public systems. As population aging continues, research into anti-aging drugs that prolong life improve particular importance. In this study, the polysaccharide from stems leaves Chuanminshen violaceum was obtained with water extraction alcohol precipitation, then separated purified DEAE anion exchange chromatography gel filtration obtain...
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) has shown great potential for unraveling the molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. However, most existing analyses ST data focus on bulk or single-cell resolution, overlooking subcellular compartments such as synapses, which are fundamental structures brain's neural network. Here we present mcDETECT, a novel framework that integrates machine learning algorithms and in situ (iST) with targeted gene panels to study synapses. mcDETECT identifies...
Abstract Maize is one of the three major crops worldwide based on its yield and quality. Starch crucial to both quality maize as it accounts more than 60% seed weight, structure influences crop. synthase I (SSI) contributes majority starch activity in endosperm. An in-depth understanding synthesis regulatory mechanism would provide opportunities for improving maize. In this study, ZmPLATZ2 , a plant AT-rich sequence zinc-binding protein (PLATZ) transcription factor related synthesis, was...
Crofton weed is a noxious invasive worldwide. However, the mechanisms underlying its invasiveness are still not well understood. We hypothesize that genetic differentiation and plasticity may help plant invade heterogeneous habitats. To test this hypothesis, we compared differences in seed morphometric germination traits among 14 populations of located at different elevations (640–2,430 m) south Yunnan Province southwest China. Germination capacity (GC) index (GI) were markedly same...
Starch synthesis is an essential feature of crop filling, but knowledge the molecular mechanisms regulating expression starch genes (SSGs) currently limited to transcription factors (TFs). Here, we obtained transcriptome, small RNAome, and DNA methylome data from maize (Zea mays) endosperms during multiple developmental stages established a regulatory network atlas synthesis. Transcriptome analysis showed sharp transition at 9-10 days after pollination, when involved in sucrose metabolism...
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important food crops in world, and starch main component its endosperm. Transcriptional regulation plays a vital role biosynthesis. However, it not well understood maize. We report identification transcription factor ZmNAC126 synthesis expression was higher maize endosperm kernels than roots or stems. shared similar pattern with genes during seed development, also consistent accumulation starch. typical transactivation domain between positions 201 227...
The evidence for high-volume hemofiltration plus hemoperfusion (HVHF&HP) hyperlipidemic severe acute pancreatitis (HL-SAP) is anecdotal. purpose of our study was to evaluate the efficacy HVHF&HP HL-SAP in a prospective controlled study.Prospective pilot between May 2010 and 2013 hospital intensive care unit.HL-SAP patients chose conventional treatment alone (the control group) or combined with experimental protocol were prospectively followed hospital. APACHE II score, SOFA ICU stay...
Invasive plants are sometimes considered to be more competitive than their native conspecifics, according the prediction that invader reallocates resources from defense growth due liberation of natural enemies ['Evolution Increased Competitive Ability' (EICA) hypothesis]. However, differences in ability may depend on identity competitors. In order test effects competitors, Ageratina adenophora both and invasive ranges competed directly, with residents (China) (Mexico) respectively. A. were...
Abstract Background Short internodes contribute to plant dwarfism, which is exceedingly beneficial for crop production. However, the underlying mechanisms of internode elongation are complicated and have been not fully understood. Results Here, we report a maize dwarf mutant, dwarf2014 ( d2014 ), displays shortened lower internodes. Map-based cloning revealed that gene novel br2 allele with splicing variation, resulting in higher expression BR2-T02 instead normal BR2-T01 . Then, found...
