The quorum sensing (QS) circuit plays a role in the precise regulation of genes controlling virulence factors and biofilm formation Pseudomonas aeruginosa. QS-controlled by aeruginosa clinical settings has remained controversial due to emerging drug resistance; therefore, screening diverse compounds for anti-biofilm or anti-QS activities is important. This study demonstrates ability sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) baicalin, an active natural compound extracted from...
Abstract Melatonin improves plant resistance to multiple stresses by participating in the biosynthesis of metabolites. Flavonoids are an important family secondary metabolites and widely recognized be involved resistance; however, crosstalk between melatonin flavonoid is largely unknown. We found that pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) salt, drought, heat were significantly enhanced pre-treatment with melatonin. Combined transcriptome LC-ESI-MS/MS metabolomics analyses showed induced enrichment...
For non-model plants, functional characterization of genes is still hampered by lack efficient stable transformation procedures. Here, we report a simple, fast and technique with Agrobacterium rhizogenes for generating transgenic roots in living plants to facilitate studies vivo. We showed that injection A. into stems various plant species lead root generation, which can sustain growth after the original, non-transgenic were cut off. A system was established pigeon pea, major woody food...
Baicalein attenuates the quorum sensing-controlled virulence factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and relieves inflammatory response in P. aeruginosa-infected macrophages by downregulating MAPK NFκB signal-transduction pathways Jing Luo,* Jin-liang Kong,* Bi-ying Dong, Hong Huang, Ke Wang, Li-hong Wu, Chang-chun Hou, Yue Liang, Bing Li, Yi-qiang Chen Department Respiratory Disease, First Affiliated Hospital Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, People's Republic China *These authors contributed...
SUMMARY Calcineurin B‐like (CBL)‐interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) play a central role in Ca 2+ signalling and promote drought tolerance plants. The CIPK gene family pigeon pea ( Cajanus cajan L.), major food crop affected by drought, has not previously been characterised. Here, we identified 28 genes the genome. Five CcCIPK were strongly upregulated roots upon treatment selected for further characterisation. Overexpression of CcCIPK13 CcCIPK14 increased survival rates two‐ to three‐fold...
Abstract Sorbitol is an important primary metabolite that serves as both a carbon source and signal to pathogens. The leaf diseases caused by Alternata alternata are particularly serious in crabapple ( Malus micromalus ). Here, we found sorbitol can enhance the resistance of A. R1 increasing content flavonoid catechin. Nanomaterials emerging technology tool efficiently deliver lncRNA target cells. nanoencapsulated lncRNA809 (SPc/lncRNA809) exhibits significant R1strain. To elucidate effect...
Summary Aluminium (Al) toxicity decreases crop production in acid soils general, but many crops have evolved complex mechanisms to resist it. However, our current understanding of how plants cope with Al stress and perform resistance is still at the initial stage. In this study, citrate transporter CcMATE35 was identified be involved response. The release increased substantially over‐expression (OE) lines under stress, indicating enhanced resistance. It demonstrated that transcription factor...
In the CIPK family, CBL-interacting protein kinases have shown crucial roles in hormone signaling transduction, and response to abiotic stress plant developmental processes. The family is characterized by conserved NAF/FISL (Asn-Ala-Phe) PPI (protein-phosphatase interaction) domains C-terminus. However, little data has been reported about apple. A total of 34 MdCIPK genes were identified from apple genome this study later divided into two groups according domains, gene structure chromosomal...
Multidrug and Toxic Compound Extrusion (MATEs) is one of the characteristic transporter families, which plays a key role in detoxication endogenous secondary metabolites exogenous agents both animal plant cells. In this study, we identified total 67 MATE genes (CcMATEs) from pigeonpea genome, on performed bioinformatics analysis group them by phylogenetic analysis. Finally, eight represented CcMATE were selected for further qRT-PCR tissue specificity response to metal stress pigeonpea. The...
Abstract Flavonoids are secondary metabolites that play important roles in fruit and vegetable development. Here, we examined the function of hyperoside, a unique flavonoid okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), known to promote both flowering seed set. We showed exogenous application hyperoside significantly improved pollen germination rate tube growth by almost 50%, resulting 42.7% increase set rate. Of several genes induced treatment, AeUF3GaT1, which encodes an enzyme catalyzes last step...
The flowers of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) open and wilt within only a few hours, this is accompanied by accumulation hyperoside, secondary metabolite in the flavonoid pathway. However, little known about relationship between flavonoids flowering. Here, we found that exogenous application hyperoside extended duration full-blooming period more than 3-fold, was 14.7-fold increase expression CALCIUM-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASE6 (AeCDPK6). Gene profiling indicated transcription factor AeMYB30...
As a multifunctional hormone-like molecule, melatonin exhibits pleiotropic role in plant salt stress tolerance. While actin cytoskeleton is essential to tolerance stress, it unclear if and how participates the melatonin-mediated alleviation of stress. Here, we report that alleviates damage pigeon pea by activating kinase-like protein, which interacts with an actin-depolymerizing factor. Cajanus cajan Actin-Depolymerizing Factor 9 (CcADF9) has function severing filaments highly expressed...
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are a class of proteins found in living organisms that mediate transmembrane transport by hydrolyzing ATP. They play vital role the physiological processes growth and development plants. The most numerous sub-type transporter ABC family is ABCG group which have complex function plant’s response to abiotic stresses. Our study focused on effect adaptation pigeon pea adverse environments (such as drought, salt, temperature, etc.). We conducted functional...
Abstract Mature pollen germinates rapidly on the stigma, extending its tube to deliver sperm cells ovule for fertilization. The success of this process is an important factor that limits output. flavonoid content increased significantly during germination and growth, which suggests it may play role in these processes. However, specific mechanism involvement has been little researched. Our previous research found hyperoside can prolong flowering period Abelmoschus esculentus (okra), but still...
Pigeonpea is an important economic crop in the world and mainly distributed tropical subtropical regions. In order to further expand scope of planting, one problems that must be solved impact soil acidity on plants these areas. Based our previous work, we constructed a time series RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis under aluminum (Al) stress pigeonpea. Through comparison analysis, 11,425 genes were found differentially expressed among all points. After clustering by their expression patterns,...
Sugar, acting as a signal, can regulate the production of some chemical substance during plant defense responses. However, molecular basis and regulatory mechanisms sugar in poplar other forest trees are still unclear. Sorbitol is sugar-signaling molecule associated with defense. In this study, pathogen-infested status was alleviated after exogenous feeding 50 mM sorbitol. We sequenced analyzed transcriptome leaves before inoculation. The results showed that genes PR1, WRKY, ceramide kinases...
