Genetic diversity is important for crop improvement. An experiment was conducted during 2011 to study genetic variability, character association, and among 27 soybean mutants four mother genotypes. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences the mothers nine morphological traits. Eighteen performed superiorly their in respect seed yield some traits including attributes. Narrow between phenotypic genotypic coefficients variation (PCV GCV) most characters less environmental influence...

Plants contain a range of aquaporin (AQP) proteins, which act as transporter water and nutrient molecules through living membranes. AQPs also participate in uptake the roots contribute to homeostasis leaves.

Plant growth and development can be adversely affected by cold stress, limiting productivity. The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family comprises important detoxifying enzymes, which play major roles in biotic abiotic stress responses reducing the oxidative damage caused reactive oxygen species. Pumpkins (Cucurbitamaxima) are widely grown, economically important, nutritious; however, their yield severely stress. identification of putative candidate genes responsible for cold-stress...

High erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) oil is of interest for industrial purposes because (22:1) and its derivatives are important renewable raw materials the oleochemical industry. Currently available cultivars contain only about 50% in seed oil. A substantial increase content would significantly reduce processing costs could market prospects HEAR It has been proposed that limited insufficient fatty elongation, lack insertion into central sn-2 position triaclyglycerol backbone due to competitive...

Zinc finger homeodomain proteins (ZHD) constitute a plant-specific transcription factor family with conserved DNA binding and zinc motif. Members of the ZHD protein play important roles in plant growth, development, stress responses. Genome-wide characterization genes has been carried out several model plants, including Arabidopsis thaliana Oryza sativa, but not yet tomato (Solanum lycopersicum).In this study, we performed first comprehensive genome-wide expression profiling gene...

Growth regulating factors (GRFs) are plant-specific transcription that involved in diverse biological and physiological processes, such as growth, development stress hormone responses. However, the roles of GRFs vegetative reproductive responses tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) have not been extensively explored. In this study, we characterized 13 SlGRF genes. silico analysis protein motif organization, intron–exon distribution, phylogenetic classification confirmed presence GRF proteins tomato....

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and PDI-like proteins contain thioredoxin domains that catalyze protein bond, inhibit aggregation of misfolded proteins, function in isomerization during folding endoplasmic reticulum responses abiotic stresses.Chinese cabbage is widely recognized as an economically important, nutritious vegetable, but its yield severely hampered by various biotic stresses. Because of, it prime need to identify those genes whose are responsible for stress tolerance. PDI...

Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that can influence gene expression via diverse mechanisms. Tomato is a fruit widely consumed for its flavor, culinary attributes, and high nutritional quality. climacteric fleshy, their ripening regulated by endogenous exogenous signals operating through coordinated genetic network. Much research has been conducted on mechanisms of tomato ripening, but the roles miRNA-regulated repression/expression specific regulatory genes...

Anthocyanins are the resultant end-point metabolites of phenylapropanoid/flavonoid (F/P) pathway which is regulated at transcriptional level via a series structural genes. Identifying key genes and their potential interactions can provide us with clue for novel points intervention improvement trait in strawberry. We profiled expressions putative regulatory biosynthetic cultivated strawberry three developmental characteristically colored stages fruits contrastingly anthocyanin rich cultivars:...

Anthocyanins are plant secondary metabolites with key roles in attracting insect pollinators and protecting against biotic abiotic stresses. They have potential health-promoting effects as part of the human diet. Anthocyanin biosynthesis has been elucidated many species, enabling development anthocyanin-enriched fruits, vegetables, grains; however, few studies investigated Brassica napus anthocyanin biosynthesis. We developed a high-anthocyanin resynthesized B. line, Rs035, by crossing...

Lilies (Lilium sp.) are commercially important horticultural crops widely cultivated for their flowers and bulbs. Here, we conducted large-scale data mining of the lily transcriptome to develop transcription factor (TF)-associated microsatellite markers (TFSSRs). Among 216,768 unigenes extracted from our sequence data, 6966 harbored simple repeats (SSRs). Seventy-one SSRs were associated with TF genes, these used design primers validate potential as markers. These 71 accomplished 31...

Lily belongs to family liliaceae, which mainly propagates vegetatively. Therefore, sufficient number of polymorphic, informative, and functional molecular markers are essential for studying a wide range genetic parameters in Lilium species. We attempted develop, characterize design SSR (simple sequence repeat) using online resources analyzing diversity population structure found di-nucleotide repeat motif were more frequent (4684) within 0.14 gb (giga bases) transcriptome than other repeats,...

The color of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit flesh is often used as an indicator quality. Generally, determined by the accumulation carotenoids and flavonoids, along with concomitant degradation chlorophylls during ripening. Several genes, such phytoenesynthetase1 (Psy1), STAY-GREEN (SGR), SlMYB12, have been extensively studied to elucidate genes controlling coloration. In this study, we observed low carotenoid levels without in green-fruited caused mutations three Psy1, SGR, SlMYB12. We...

Isolating and characterizing mutants with altered senescence phenotypes is one of the ways to understand molecular basis leaf aging. Using ethyl methane sulfonate mutagenesis, a new rice (Oryza sativa) mutant, brown midrib (bml), was isolated from indica cultivar ‘Zhenong34’. The bml had midribs in their leaves initiated prematurely, at onset heading. abnormal cells degraded chloroplasts contained less chlorophyll compared wild type (WT). mutant showed excessive accumulation reactive oxygen...

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is popular worldwide for consumption as a leafy vegetable. Premature flowering triggered by low temperature, and deteriorates quality of cabbage In general, growers prefer late-flowering varieties to assure good compact head. Here, we report BoFLC1.C9 gene with clear sequence variation between lines different times, proposed molecular marker characterize early- lines. We identified 67 bp insertions in intron 2, which were contributed time two inbred...

Clubroot disease poses a significant threat to Brassica crops, necessitating ongoing updates on resistance gene sources. In F 2 segregants of the clubroot-resistant inbred line BrT18-6-4-3 and susceptible DH Y510, genetic analysis identified single dominant responsible for clubroot resistance. Through bulk segregant sequencing kompetitive allele-specific polymerase chain reaction assays, CRA8.1.6 was mapped within 110 kb (12,255–12,365 Mb) between markers L-CR11 L-CR12 chromosome A08. We B...

Bacterial blight (BB) is caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. and one of the most important diseases in rice. It results significantly reduced productivity throughout all rice-growing regions world. Four BB resistance genes have been reported; however, introgression a single gene into rice has not able to sufficiently protect against infection. Pyramiding effective (i.e., Xa genes) background varieties potential approach controlling In this study, combinations four genes, Xa4, xa5, xa13, Xa21,...
