Cucumber mosaic virus suppressor 2b (CMV2b) is a nuclear viral that interferes with local and systemic silencing inhibits AGO1 slicer activity. CMV2b-mediated transgene hypomethylation its localization in Cajal bodies suggests role of CMV2b RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). However, direct involvement RdDM, or binding small RNAs (sRNAs) vivo not yet established. Here, we show binds both microRNAs (miRNAs) interfering (siRNAs) vivo. sRNA sequencing data from the immunocomplex revealed...
Summary Salicylic acid ( SA ) signalling plays an essential role in plant innate immunity. In this study, we identified a component the signaling pathway potato Solanum tuberosum ), transcription factor Stb ZIP 61 , and characterized its function defence against Phytophthora infestans . Expression of was induced upon P infection following exposure to defense hormones ethylene jasmonic acid. Overexpression increased tolerance plants while RNA interference i) susceptibility. Yeast two‐hybrid...
A novel DNA-conjugated AuNP probe termed sticky-flares has been designed for the <italic>in situ</italic> detection of intracellular human telomerase RNA.
Several studies have revealed that actin depolymerizing factors (ADFs) participate in plant defence responses; however, the functional mechanisms appear intricate and need further exploration. In this study, we identified an ADF6 gene upland cotton (designated as GhADF6) is evidently involved cotton's response to fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae. GhADF6 binds filaments possesses severing activities vitro vivo. When root (the site of fungus invasion) was inoculated with pathogen,...
ABSTRACT The Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) suppressor 2b co-localizes with AGO4 in cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions of Arabidopsis thaliana. Biochemical fractionation A. thaliana cellular extracts revealed that coexist multiple size exclusions. transgenic exhibited an enhanced accumulation 24nt siRNAs from flowering wageningen (FWA) other heterochromatic loci. These plants also hypo-methylation endogenous- as well transgene-FWA promoter at non-CG sites. In corroboration, both CMV infection...
Abstract The active structural change of actin cytoskeleton is a general host response upon pathogen attack. This study characterized the function cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) actin-binding protein VILLIN2 (GhVLN2) in defense against soilborne fungus Verticillium dahliae. Biochemical analysis demonstrated that GhVLN2 possessed actin-binding, -bundling, and -severing activities. A low concentration could shift its activity from bundling to severing presence Ca2+. Knockdown expression by...
Interspecies nuclear transfer (NT) is an important tool for preservation of endangered animal species. This study was carried out to clone Yak (Poephagus mutus) embryos by using skin fibroblasts and bovine (Bos taurus) recipient cytoplasts, compare the efficiency YAK interspecies NT (bovine cytoplast-Yak donor cell) somatic cytoplast-bovine cell). Recipient oocytes were extracted from antral follicles ovaries, subsequently cultured in maturation medium 18–20 h 5% CO2 95% humidified air at...
