Drought and heat stress significantly limit crop growth productivity. Their simultaneous occurrence, as often observed in summer crops, leads to larger yield losses. Sorghum is well adapted dry hot conditions. Despite the progress that has been made determining proteomic responses water deficit or such information remains limited for crops subjected combined stress. This study presents quantitative proteomics analyses of leaf root tissues two contrasting sorghum genotypes grown under normal...
Geminiviruses are single-stranded DNA viruses that infect a wide variety of plants and cause severe crop losses worldwide. The geminivirus replication initiator protein (Rep) binds to the viral origin catalyzes cleavage ligation initiate rolling circle replication. In this study, we found Tomato golden mosaic virus (TGMV) Rep is phosphorylated at serine-97 by sucrose nonfermenting 1-related kinase 1 (SnRK1), master regulator plant energy homeostasis metabolism. Phosphorylation or...
Abstract Root phenotyping describes methods for measuring root properties, or traits. While can be challenging, it is advancing quickly. In order the field to move forward, essential understand current state and challenges of phenotyping, as well pressing needs biology community. this letter, we present discuss results a survey that was created disseminated by members Graduate Student Postdoc Ambassador Program at 11th symposium International Society Research. This aimed (1) provide an...
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is caused by an inherited defect in the last step cholesterol (Chol) biosynthesis, leading to abnormal accumulation of 7-dehydrocholesterol and decreased Chol levels. Progressive retinal degeneration occurs animal model SLOS, induced treating rats with AY9944, a selective inhibitor enzyme affected SLOS. Here we evaluated alterations biochemical physical properties rod outer segment (ROS) membranes this model. At 1 month AY9944 treatment, there were modest...
Abstract Certain cultivars of maize show increased tolerance to water deficit conditions by maintenance root growth. To better understand the molecular mechanisms related this adaptation, nodal growth zone samples were collected from reference inbred line B73 and FR697, which exhibits a relatively greater ability maintain elongation under deficits. Plants grown various stress levels in both field controlled environment settings. FR697-specific RNA-Seq datasets generated used for de novo...
Maize is one of the major food crops grown in continental US, and as such, interest directed towards understanding its adaptability to drought stress. Certain cultivars maize have shown increased resistance water shortages, by continuing maintain root growth even when under severe To better understand molecular mechanisms which lead such adaptation, we analyzed multiomics datasets generated from zone nodal roots FR697, an inbred line that shows a superior capacity for maintenance We used...
