Abstract Nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) are essential elements for plant growth crop yield. Thus, improved N C utilisation contributes to agricultural productivity reduces the need fertilisation. In present study, we find that overexpression of a single rice gene, Oryza sativa plasma membrane (PM) H + -ATPase 1 ( OSA1 ), facilitates ammonium absorption assimilation in roots enhanced light-induced stomatal opening with higher photosynthesis rate leaves. As result, plants causes 33% increase...
We adopted a deep sequencing approach developed by Solexa (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) to investigate global expression and complexity of microRNAs (miRNAs) their targets from Medicago truncatula. Two small RNA libraries two degradome were constructed mercury (Hg)-treated Hg-free M. truncatula seedlings. For miRNAs, each library generated 18.5-18.6 million short sequences, resulting in 10.2-10.8 clean reads. At least 52 new miRNA candidates with ≈ 21 nucleotides are perfectly matched...
The preference of paddy rice for NH(4)(+) rather than NO(3)(-) is associated with its tolerance to low pH since a rhizosphere acidification occurs during absorption. However, the adaptation root has not been fully elucidated. This study investigated acclimation plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase pH. Rice seedlings were grown either or NO(3)(-). For both nitrogen forms, value nutrient solutions was gradually adjusted 6.5 3.0. After 4 d cultivation, hydrolytic activity, V(max), K(m), H(+)-pumping...
Abstract The present study functionally identified a new microRNA (microRNA ovual line 5, miRNVL5) with its target gene GhCHR from cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum ). sequence of miRNVL5 precursor is 104 nt long, well developed secondary structure. contains two DC1 and three PHD Cys/His-rich domains, suggesting that encodes zinc-finger domain-containing transcription factor. express at various developmental stages cotton. Under salt stress (50–400 mM NaCl), expression was repressed, concomitant...
Taxus leaves provide the raw industrial materials for taxol, a natural antineoplastic drug widely used in treatment of various cancers. However, precise distribution, biosynthesis, and transcriptional regulation taxoids other active components remain unknown. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging analysis was to visualize secondary metabolites leaf sections mairei, confirming tissue-specific accumulation different metabolites. Single-cell sequencing produce...
Calcium ion (Ca2+) is a universal second messenger that plays critical role in plant responses to diverse physiological and environmental stimuli. The stimulus-specific signals are perceived decoded by series of Ca2+ binding proteins serving as sensors. majority sensors possess the EF-hand motif, helix-loop-helix structure which forms turn-loop structure. Although model such Arabidopsis have been well described, identification, classification functions EF-hand-containing from soybean not...
Summary Both sugar and the hormone gibberellin (GA) are essential for anther‐enclosed pollen development thus plant productivity in flowering plants. Arabidopsis ( thaliana ) AtSWEET13 AtSWEET14, which expressed anthers associated with seed yield, transport both sucrose GA. However, it is still unclear substrate transported by them directly affects anther yield. Histochemical staining, cross‐sectioning microscopy imaging techniques were used to investigate interpret phenotypes of...
Phosphorus nutrition has been known for a long time to influence floral transition in plants, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Arabidopsis phosphate transporter PHOSPHATE1 (PHO1) plays critical role translocation from roots shoots, whether and how it regulates unknown. Here, we show that knockout mutation of PHO1 delays flowering under both long- short-day conditions. The late pho1 mutants can be partially rescued by Pi supplementation rosettes or shoot apices. Grafting assay...
Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a widespread agricultural problem in arable soils of the whole world. However, molecular mechanisms underlying Zn-deficiency response are largely unknown. Here, we analyzed transcriptomic profilings soybean leaves and roots to Zn through Illumina's high-throughput RNA sequencing order understand basis plants. A total 614 1011 gene loci were found be differentially expressed roots, respectively, 88 commonly both roots. Twelve genes (DEGs) randomly selected for...
