Utilization of rhizobacteria that have associated with plant roots in harsh environments could be a feasible strategy to deal limits agricultural production caused by soil salinity. Halophytes occur naturally high-salt environments, and their may promising microbial candidates for promoting growth salt tolerance crops. This study aimed isolate efficient halotolerant plant-growth-promoting rhizobacterial strains from halophytes evaluate activity effects on sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) under...
Maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings were grown in nutrient solution culture containing 0, 5, and 20 μM cadmium (Cd) the effects on various aspects of photosynthesis investigated after 24, 48, 96 168 h Cd treatments. Photosynthetic rate (P N) decreased 48 5μM addition, respectively. Chl a total content leaves declined under exposure. b extending period exposure to h. The maximum quantum efficiency potential photosynthetic capacity PSII, indicated by Fv/Fm Fv/Fo, respectively, depressed onset...
Strawberries emit hundreds of different volatiles, but only a dozen, including the key compound HDMF [4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone] contribute to flavor fruit. However, during ripening, considerable amount is metabolized flavorless β-d-glucoside. Here, we functionally characterize nine ripening-related UGTs (UDP-glucosyltransferases) in Fragaria that function glucosylation volatile metabolites by comprehensive biochemical analyses. Some showed rather broad substrate tolerance and...
The filamentous fungus Penicillium oxalicum is a potential alternative to Trichoderma reesei for industrial production of complete cellulolytic enzyme system bio-refinery. Comparative omics approaches can support rational genetic engineering and/or breeding fungi with improved cellulase capacity. In this study, comparative genomic, transcriptomic and secretomic profiling P. HP7-1 its xylanase hyper-producing mutant EU2106 were employed screen novel regulators gene expression.The 30.62 Mb...
Plants use rigid cellulose together with non-cellulosic matrix polymers to build cell walls. Cellulose microfibrils comprise linear β(1,4)-glucan chains packed through inter- and intra-chain hydrogen-bonding networks van der Waals forces. Due its small size, the number of glucan their arrangement in a microfibril remains elusive. Here we used atomic force microscopy (AFM) directly image primary walls (PCWs) secondary (SCWs) from fresh tissues maize (Zea mays) under near-native conditions. By...
Summary Physiologically active acylphloroglucinol ( APG ) glucosides were recently found in strawberry Fragaria sp.) fruit. Although the formation of aglycones has been clarified, little is known about glycosylation plants. In this study we functionally characterized ripening‐related glucosyltransferase genes by comprehensive biochemical analyses encoded proteins and a RNA interference i) approach vivo . The allelic UGT 71K3a/b catalyzed glucosylation diverse hydroxycoumarins, naphthols...
Glycosylation determines the complexity and diversity of plant natural products. To characterize fruit ripening-related UDP-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) functionally in strawberry, we mined publicly available Fragaria vesca genome sequence found 199 putative UGT genes. Candidate UGTs whose expression levels were strongly up-regulated during ripening cloned from F.×ananassa six successfully expressed Escherichia coli biochemically characterized. UGT75T1 showed very strict substrate...
Aurantio-obtusin, an anthraquinone compound, isolated from dried seeds of Cassia obtusifolia L. (syn. Senna obtusifolia; Fabaceae) and tora tora). Although the biological activities Semen Cassiae have been reported, anti-inflammatory mechanism aurantio-obtusin, its main on RAW264.7 cells, remained unknown. We investigated effect aurantio-obtusin lipopolysaccharide- (LPS)-induced cells in vitro elucidated possible underlying molecular mechanisms. Nitric oxide production (NO) prostaglandin E2...
ABSTRACT Multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) is efficient for routine typing and investigating the genetic structures of natural microbial populations. Two distinct pathovars Xanthomonas oryzae can cause significant crop losses in tropical temperate rice-growing countries. Bacterial leaf streak caused by X. pv. oryzicola, bacterial blight oryzae. For latter, two lineages have been described literature. We developed a universal MLVA tool both identification three...
In higher plant cells, lignin provides necessary physical support for growth and resistance to attack by microorganisms. For the same reason, is considered be a major impediment process of deconstructing biomass simple sugars hydrolytic enzymes. The in situ variation cell walls important better understanding roles play recalcitrance. A micro-spectroscopic approach combining stimulated Raman scattering microscopy fluorescence lifetime imaging was employed probe physiochemical structure poplar...
The transition to a more environmentally friendly economy has prompted studies of modern biorefineries, including the utilization low-value lignocellulose. major challenge facing widespread application biorefineries is high cost enzymes that can efficiently hydrolyze recalcitrant cellulose sugars. Penicillium oxalicum produces large amounts plant-cell-wall-degrading enzymes, but their production tightly controlled by complex regulatory networks, resulting in low yields native enzymes....
Solid-state fermentation (SSF) mimics the natural decay environment of soil fungi and can be employed to investigate production plant biomass-degrading enzymes. However, knowledge on transcriptional regulation fungal genes during SSF remains limited. Herein, profiling was performed filamentous fungus Penicillium oxalicum strain HP7-1 cultivated in medium containing wheat bran plus rice straw (WR) under (WR_SSF) submerged (WR_SmF; control) conditions. Novel key transcription factors (TFs)...
Application of raw starch-degrading enzymes (RSDEs) in starch processing for biofuel production can effectively reduce energy consumption and costs. RSDEs are generally produced by filamentous fungi, such as Penicillium oxalicum, but with very low yields, which seriously hampers industrialization processing. Breeding assisted random mutagenesis is an efficient way to improve fungal enzyme production.A total 3532 P. oxalicum colonies were generated after multiple rounds mutagenesis,...
Rice straw has an enormous amount of biomass for energy use, but the complexity cell wall component hinders technical processes. Although belonging to rice straws, straws from different varieties should be with treatment strategies obtain best efficiency. To confirm this hypothesis, 7 (RPY GENG, RIL269, RIL272, RIL31, RIL57, RIL06, LUOHUI 9) traits RIL population were evaluated their response toward pretreatments. For japonica RPY 2% H 2 SO 4 acid was pre-treatment while high (5% )...
