microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small (~21 nucleotide) single-stranded non-coding RNAs that typically function by guiding cleavage of target genes. To find the miRNAs may be involved in dark-induced leaf senescence, we identified microarray platform using Arabidopsis thaliana leaves from both whole darkened plants (DPs) and individually (IDLs). We found expressions 137 (P < 0.01, signal intensity >0) were significantly changed DP IDL leaves. Among them, expression levels 44 relative higher...
Abstract Legumes form symbiotic associations with either nitrogen-fixing bacteria or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Formation of these two symbioses is regulated by a common set signalling components that act downstream recognition rhizobia mycorrhizae host plants. Central to pathways the calcium and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CCaMK)–IPD3 complex which initiates nodule organogenesis following oscillations in nucleus. However, events are not fully understood. Here we show Medicago...
Significance Plant adaptation in nature relies on the appropriate response to symbiotic and pathogenic microbes. Chitin is an important component of mycorrhizal fungi cell wall a major microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP), which can activate recognition receptors trigger plant immunity. How MAMP-triggered immunity suppressed by establish symbiosis remains elusive. Here, we found that CO4 (Chitotetraose) receptor OsMYR1 cannot only initiate signaling but also repress rice depleting...
The symbiotic interaction between legume plants and rhizobia results in the formation of root nodules, which plant cells host harbor thousands nitrogen-fixing rhizobia. Here, a Medicago truncatula nodules with activated defense 1 (nad1) mutant was identified using reverse genetics methods. phenotype characterized cell molecular biology approaches. An RNA-sequencing technique used to analyze transcriptomic reprogramming nad1 nodules. In plants, rhizobial infection propagation threads are...
Abstract Pollen tube tip growth requires intricate Ca 2+ signaling. Recent studies have also identified rapid alkalization factor (RALF)-family peptides and their receptors as critical components for pollen integrity. The functional relationship of RALF calcium signaling modules remains largely unclear. Here we report that disruption pathway abolished the cytosolic gradient in tube, indicating is downstream pathway. We MILDEW RESISTANCE LOCUS O (MLO) family proteins MLO1, 5, 9, 15, channels...
Abstract Under low-potassium (K + ) stress, a Ca 2+ signaling network consisting of calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) and CBL-interacting kinases (CIPKs) play essential roles. Specifically, the plasma membrane CBL1/9-CIPK pathway tonoplast CBL2/3-CIPK promotes K uptake remobilization, respectively, by activating series channels. While dual CBL-CIPK pathways enable plants to cope with low-K little is known about early events that link external levels proteins. Here we show status regulates...
The symbiosis receptor kinase, SymRK, is required for root nodule development. A SymRK-interacting protein (SIP2) was found to form complex with SymRK in vitro and planta. interaction between SIP2 conserved legumes. gene expressed all Lotus japonicus tissues examined. represents a typical plant mitogen-activated kinase (MAPKK) exhibited autophosphorylation transphosphorylation activities. Recombinant could phosphorylate casein the Arabidopsis thaliana MAP MPK6. not use one another as...
With recent bans on the growth-promoting use of antibiotics, alternative strategies are needed to improve performance agricultural animals. Here, effects dietary supplementation with Clostridium butyricum and a combination Saccharomyces boulardii Pediococcus acidilactici were assessed laying performance, egg quality, oxidative status, gut health in hens. A total 8208 Lohmann pink hens divided into 3 treatment groups, each group replicated 12 times (n = 228). Hens control (CON) provided basic...
Summary Suppression of innate immunity is essential for rhizobial infection and colonization in compatible interactions with leguminous plants. In Medicago nad1 mutant plants, excessively activated, resulting necrotic cell death after rhizobia are released from threads into symbiotic cells, suggesting that plays a critical role regulating bacteroid persistence. this study, we identified three respiratory burst oxidase homologs (Rboh) one calcium‐dependent protein kinase ( CDPK ) as key...
Gibberella stalk rot caused by Fusarium graminearum is one of the most destructive soil-borne diseases maize (Zea mays L.). Chemical means controlling are not very effective; development highly resistant hybrids best choice for disease control. Hence, understanding molecular basis underlying resistance against would undoubtedly facilitate breeding rot. Two quantitative trait loci (QTL), qRfg1 and qRfg2, conferring to were detected in our previous study. Three near-isogenic lines (NILs) with...
Mechanisms underlying nodulation factor signaling downstream of the receptors (NFRs) have not been fully characterized. In this study, clathrin heavy chain1 (CHC1) was shown to interact with Rho-Like GTPase ROP6, an interaction partner NFR5 in Lotus japonicus. The CHC1 gene found be expressed constitutively all plant tissues and induced Mesorhizobium loti-infected root hairs nodule primordia. When leaves Nicotiana benthamiana, ROP6 were colocalized at cell circumference within cytoplasmic...
