Abstract Background In plants, microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous ~22 nt RNAs that play important regulatory roles in many aspects of plant biology, including metabolism, hormone response, epigenetic control transposable elements, and stress response. Extensive studies miRNAs have been performed model plants such as rice Arabidopsis thaliana . maize, most their target genes were analyzed identified by clearly different treatments, response to low nitrate, salt drought stress. However, little...

Long-term continuous soybean cropping can lead to the aggravation of soil fungal disease. However, manner in which community and functional groups fungi are affected by remains unclear. We investigated abundance, composition diversity during rotation (RS), 2-year (SS) long-term (CS) systems using quantitative real-time PCR high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that abundance was significantly higher CS than SS RS. altered composition. Compared with RS, had an increase 29 a decrease...

Abstract Earth's core should contain light elements to account for the density deficit relative pure iron as inferred from seismic observations. Of particular interest is hydrogen, planetary accretion models predict delivery of water possibly sequestered in core. In this study, we investigate partitioning hydrogen across inner‐core boundary using extensive atomistic simulations with machine learning potentials. While showing tendency dominantly remain liquid phase during inner...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, small non-coding RNAs that play important roles in multiple biological processes. MiR-20b has been reported to participate breast cancer tumorigenic progression, however, the functional still unclear and under debating. The aim of this study is explicit molecular mechanism miR-20b underlying tumorigenesis.In present study, we showed was overexpressed human tissues cell lines compared with paired adjacent normal lines, respectively. We identified PTEN, a...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play an essential role in complex ecosystems. However, the species diversity and composition of AMF communities remain unclear semi-arid mountains. Further, it is not well understood if characteristics community assemblies differ for different habitat types, e.g., agricultural arable land, artificial forest natural grassland, bush/wood land. Here, using high-throughput technology by Illumina sequencing on MiSeq platform, we explored soil among types a...

Microbial communities and soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions are sensitive indicators for monitoring quality crop yield. But the effects of fertilization on relationship between SOC microbial community in black remain unclear. Focused this point, we performed present study with a maize monocropping system suffered different treatments, including non-fertilization (CK), chemical (CF), fertilizer straw (CFS) manure (OM). The contents were measured, whereas structure was assessed by Illumina...

High temperatures significantly impair plant growth and development by restricting maize grain filling; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying heat stress remain poorly understood. In this study, 350 inbred lines were evaluated under field conditions, leading to identification of heat-tolerant Zheng58 heat-sensitive Qi319. The two exposed controlled conditions 30°C/20°C (optimal) 42°C/30°C (heat stress) during filling period. Heat reduced thousand-kernel weight seed setting rates, with...

ABSTRACT Banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB) caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kühn in maize ( Zea mays L.) is an important disease China as well South Southeast Asia. The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to this would facilitate the development resistant hybrids. A mapping population consisting 229 F 2 individuals derived from cross inbreds R15 (resistant) 478 (susceptible) was used study. genetic linkage map constructed containing 146 single sequence repeat (SSR)...

Drought stress response is a complex trait regulated at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels in tobacco. Since the 1990s, many studies have shown that miRNAs act ways to regulate target expression plant growth, development response. The recent draft genome sequence of Nicotiana benthamiana has provided framework for Digital Gene Expression (DGE) small RNA sequencing understand patterns transcription context environmental stress. We sequenced analyzed three libraries from roots...

Agricultural intensification accelerates the degradation of cropland, and restoration has been managed by changing its vegetation. However, keystone microbiome that drives decomposition plant-associated organic matter in is poorly understood. In this study we established a 14-year field experiment on degraded cropland with four treatments: (1) bare land soil without biomass input (BL); (2) maize (CL) fertilization input; (3) natural grass (GL) (4) alfalfa (AL) left fields. Analyses carbon...

Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for plants, and it directly affects grain yield protein content in cereal crops. Plant root systems are not only critical anchorage the soil, but also N acquisition. Therefore, genes controlling development might affect uptake by plants. In this study, responses of nitrogen on architecture mutant rtcs wild-type maize were investigated morphological physiological analysis. Subsequently, we performed a comparative RNA-Seq analysis to compare gene...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, non-coding regulatory RNAs that regulate gene expression by guiding target mRNA cleavage or translational inhibition in plants and animals. In this study, small RNA library was constructed to identify conserved miRNAs as well novel maize seedling roots under low level phosphorus stress. Twelve were identified high throughput sequencing the subsequent analysis, two belong miRNA families (miRNA399b miRNA156), remaining ten one latter is gramineous...
