Somatic embryogenesis is a morphogenetic event where somatic cells have the ability to produce embryos without gamete fusion. It used as technique for plant mass propagation. process that has six well defined steps such induction, expression, development, maturation, germination and conversion. These are characterized by distinct physiological, morphological molecular events. Although been established in several species, there remains many problems be solved. The main problem large number of...
Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins are an ubiquitous group of polypeptides that were first described to accumulate during plant seed dehydration, at the later stages embryogenesis. Since then they have also been recorded in vegetative tissues experiencing water limitation and anhydrobiotic bacteria invertebrates and, thereby, correlated with acquisition desiccation tolerance. This study provides comprehensive about LEA gene family sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osb.), most...
The present study evaluated the physiological, molecular and hormonal parameters from scion/rootstock interaction of citrus plants during recurrent water deficit. Responses Valencia (VO) scion variety grafted on two rootstocks with different soil extraction capacities, Rangpur Lime (RL) Sunki Maravilha (SM), three successive periods deficit: exposed to a single episode deficit (WD1) (WD2) (WD3) WD were compared. combinations VO/RL VO/SM presented polymorphic alterations epigenetic marks...
The family of aquaporins (AQPs), or major intrinsic proteins (MIPs), includes integral membrane that function as transmembrane channels for water and other small molecules physiological significance. MIPs are classified into five subfamilies in higher plants, including plasma (PIPs), tonoplast (TIPs), NOD26-like (NIPs), basic (SIPs) unclassified X (XIPs) proteins. This study reports a genome-wide survey MIP encoding genes sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osb.), the most widely cultivated...
Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is a ubiquitous transcription found in eukaryotes. It composed of three distinct subunits called NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC. NF-Ys have been identified as key regulators multiple pathways the control development tolerance to biotic abiotic factors. The present study aimed identify characterize complete repertoire genes coding for NF-Y citrus, well perform functional characterization one its members, namely CsNFYA5, transgenic tobacco plants. A total 22 were genomes sweet...
Citrus plants are commercially propagated by grafting, with the rootstock variety influencing a number of horticultural traits, including drought tolerance. Among different varieties available for citrus propagation, 'Rangpur' lime is known to confer enhanced tolerance as compared other rootstocks. The objective this study was investigate poorly understood molecular responses underlying rootstock-induced in sweet orange. RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis carried out leaves orange grafted on...
The primary objective of this work was to investigate the role polyamines (PAs) on root formation and growth in two sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osb.) cultivars Pineapple Pêra. Adventitious shoots (30-d-old) derived from epicotyl explants were transferred induction medium containing Murashige Skoog salts at different strengths supplemented with concentrations combinations auxins. Root development decreased both concomitant reduction strength. α-naphtaleneacetic acid important during...
Galactinol synthase (GolS) catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in synthesis of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), which serve as storage transport sugars, signal transducers, compatible solutes antioxidants higher plants. The present work aimed to assess potential functions citrus GolS mechanisms stress response tolerance. By homology searches, eight genes were found genomes Citrus sinensis C . clementina Phylogenetic analysis showed that there is a ortholog for each , have...
Two new lycopene β-cyclases (LCYBs) were cloned and characterized from grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.). During fruit ripening, CpLCYB1 expression did not show significant differences between 'Flame' (red flesh) 'Marsh' (white flesh), was much lower than CpLCYB2 nearly constant; however, dramatically changed in a similar tendency the pulp of both cultivars, but relative abundance mRNA significantly 'Marsh'. Phylogenetically structurally, chloroplast-specific member chromoplast-specific...
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) play crucial roles in plant immunity. We previously identified a citrus MAPK (CsMAPK1) as differentially expressed response to infection by Xanthomonas aurantifolii, bacterium that causes canker Mexican lime but hypersensitive reaction sweet oranges. Here, we confirm that, orange, CsMAPK1 is rapidly and preferentially induced X. aurantifolii relative citri. To investigate the role of resistance, plants under control PR5 gene promoter, which wounding....
9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED) encodes a key enzyme in abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis. Little is known regarding the regulation of stress response by NCEDs at physiological levels. In present study, we generated transgenic tobacco overexpressing an NCED3 ortholog from citrus (CsNCED3) and investigated its relevance drought tolerance. Wild-type (WT) plants were grown under greenhouse conditions subjected to for 10 days. Leaf predawn water potential (Ψwleaf), stomatal conductance...
