Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are well known persistent organic pollutants that have carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects on humans animals. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can infest plant hosts form symbioses may help plants to enhance potential rhizosphere effects, thus contributing the rhizodegradation of PAH-contaminated soils. The present study aimed assess effectiveness AMF enhancing Salix viminalis-mediated phytoremediation PAH-polluted soil clarify enzymatic...
The Salicaceae, including Populus and Salix, are dioecious perennials that utilize different sex determination systems. This family provides a useful system to better understand the evolution of dioecy chromosomes. Here, rare monoecious genotype Salix purpurea, 94003, was self- cross-pollinated progeny ratios were used test hypotheses on possible mechanisms determination. To delimit genomic regions associated with expression, 94003 genome sequence assembled DNA- RNA-Seq inflorescences...
Abstract Premise The evolution of sex chromosomes is driven by sexual dimorphism, yet it can be challenging to document sexually dimorphic traits in dioecious plant species. At the genetic level, dimorphism identified through sequence variation between females and males associated with antagonistic different fitness optima. This study aims examine for 26 three populations Salix purpurea (a diversity panel F 1 2 populations) determine effect on biomass yield, a key trait bioenergy crops...
Salix viminalis, a dioecious shrub willow, has been widely used in phytoremediation, yet sexually differences tolerance to cadmium of which remained unclear. This study focused on different responses stress between roots male and female S. viminalis. Results show that plants viminalis have stronger than plants, indicates should be more considered applied for phytoremediation ecological restoration cadmium-accumulated soil considering characteristics. The findings can provide valuable...
Abstract Premise Sexual dimorphism in dioecious plant species is often not obvious or absent. Dioecious populations also exhibit deviations from expected sex ratios. Previous studies on members of the Salicaceae family have shown strong, partial, and no sexual dimorphism. Some sex-biased ratios several Salix spp., however, S. purpurea has never been examined for evidence presence sex-ratio bias, therefore a comprehensive phenotypic study needed to fill this knowledge gap. Methods This suite...
Methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) proteins have diverse molecular and biological functions in plants. Most studies of MBD plants focused on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana L. Here we cloned SvMBD5 from willow Salix viminalis by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyzed structure its evolutionary relationships with other species. The coding sequence is 645 bp long, encoding a 214 amino acid protein methyl-CpG-binding domain. belongs to same subfamily as AtMBD5...
