Raffinose and its precursor galactinol accumulate in plant leaves during abiotic stress. RAFFINOSE SYNTHASE (RAFS) catalyzes raffinose formation by transferring a galactosyl group of to sucrose. However, whether RAFS contributes drought tolerance and, if so, what mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we report that expression from maize (or corn, Zea mays) (ZmRAFS) is induced drought, heat, cold, salinity stresses. We found zmrafs mutant plants completely lack hyper-accumulate are more...
Histone methylation is an important epigenetic modification in chromatin function, genome activity, and gene regulation. Dimethylated or trimethylated histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me2/3) marks silent repressed genes involved developmental processes stress responses plants. However, the role mechanism of dynamic removal H3K27me2/3 during activation remain unclear. Here, we show that rice (Oryza sativa) Jumonji C (jmjC) protein JMJ705 encodes a demethylase specifically reverses H3K27me2/3. The...
Meiotic recombination, including crossovers (COs) and gene conversions (GCs), impacts natural variation is an important evolutionary force. COs increase genetic diversity by redistributing existing variation, whereas GCs can alter allelic frequency. Here, we sequenced Arabidopsis Landsberg erecta (L er ) two sets of all four meiotic products from a Columbia (Col)/L hybrid to investigate genome-wide recombination at nucleotide resolution. Comparing L Col sequences uncovered 349,171 Single...
Integration of light signaling and diverse abiotic stress responses contribute to plant survival in a changing environment. Some reports have indicated that signals plant's ability deal with heat, cold, stress. However, the molecular link between salt-response pathways remains unclear. We demonstrate here increasing intensity elevates salt tolerance plants. Depletion HY5, key component signaling, causes Arabidopsis thaliana become salinity sensitive. Interestingly, small heat shock protein...
SUMMARY Drought stress is one of the major constraints global crop production. Raffinose, a non‐reducing trisaccharide, has been considered to regulate positively plant drought tolerance; however, evidence that augmenting raffinose production in leaves results enhanced tolerance lacking. The biochemical mechanism through which might act mitigate remains unidentified. ZmRAFS encodes Zea mays RAFFINOSE SYNTHASE, key enzyme transfers galactose from galactoside galactinol sucrose for...
Abstract Powdery mildew is a devastating disease that affects wheat yield and quality. Wheat wild relatives represent valuable sources of resistance genes. Cloning characterization these genes will facilitate their incorporation into breeding programs. Here, we report the cloning Pm57 , powdery gene from Aegilops searsii . It encodes tandem kinase protein with putative kinase-pseudokinase domains followed by von Willebrand factor A domain (WTK-vWA), being ortholog Lr9 mediates leaf rust...
The communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonizing the roots Bothriochloa pertusa, Cajanus cajan and Heteropogon contortus in a fallow land (FL) an undisturbed (UL) were characterized. large subunit rDNA genes AMF from amplified cloned. A total 2353 clones screened by restriction fragment length polymorphism, 428 subsequently sequenced. 393 sequences, which grouped into 100 operational taxonomic units, obtained. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that sequences belonged to Glomus,...
Abstract The colonization characteristics and diversity of dark septate endophytes (DSE) associated with plants growing in a lead zinc slag heap more than 250-year history southwestern China were assessed. A total 117 plant samples belonging to 29 species 19 families examined, 97% (28/29) colonized by fungal hyphae or microsclerotia. DSE intensity varied greatly across also individuals the same species, showing hyphal range 0.0–35.7%. In total, 38 melanized root-associated fungi various...
DNA methylation is typically regarded as a repressive epigenetic marker for gene expression. Genome-wide patterns in plants are dynamically regulated by the opposing activities of and demethylation reactions. In Arabidopsis, monitoring sequence (MEMS) promoter demethylase ROS1 functions methylstat that senses these regulates genome levels adjusting How MEMS region promotes expression not known. Here, we show several Su(var)3-9 homologs (SUVHs) can sense at function redundantly to promote The...
Maize (Zea mays L.) is an indispensable crop worldwide for food, feed, and bioenergy production. Fusarium verticillioides (F. verticillioides) a widely distributed phytopathogen incites multiple destructive diseases in maize: seedling blight, stalk rot, ear seed rot. As soil-, seed-, airborne pathogen, F. can survive soil or plant residue systemically infect maize via roots, contaminated seed, silks, external wounds, posing severe threat to production quality. Infection triggers complex...
Fusarium verticillioides (F. verticillioides) is a widely distributed phytopathogen that incites multiple destructive diseases in maize, posing grave threat to corn yields and quality worldwide. However, there are few reports of resistance genes F. verticillioides. Here, we reveal combination two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) corresponding ZmWAX2 gene associates with quantitative variations maize through genome-wide association study. A lack compromises verticillioides-caused seed...
The SPL (SQUAMOSA promoter-binding protein-like) transcription factor gene family plays a crucial role in the growth of plants, including fruit development. Although has been widely studied many it remains unexplored eggplant, an important Solanaceae vegetable crop. In this study, we performed genome-wide analysis and identified 11 SmSPL genes with 10 motifs eggplant genome, which were assigned to five groups based on amino acid sequences structure SBP domain. addition, expression patterns...
Fusarium verticillioides (F. verticillioides) is a prevalent phytopathogen that incites severe diseases in maize, resulting substantial reductions grain yield and quality. Despite its widespread impact, the genetic mechanisms underlying resistance to this pathogen remain elusive, with only limited of resistant genes having been identified date. Characterize function ZmXYXT2 encoding putative xylan xylosyltransferase maize defense against F. verticillioides-induced diseases. Real-time...
Plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and fungi-bacterial biofilms are both important biofertilizer inoculants for sustainable agriculture. However, the strongest chemoattractant bacteria to colonize rhizosphere mycelia is not clear. Coincidentally, almost all PGPRs possess 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase (AcdS) can utilize ACC as sole nitrogen source. Here, we found that was a novel, metabolic dependent methyl-accepting chemoreceptor–involved Pseudomonas putida UW4....
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression plants. Many miRNAs are responsive to environmental signals. Light is first signal perceived by plants after emergence from soil. However, less known about and regulatory mechanism response light signal. Here, using small RNA sequencing, we determined that miR163 significantly rapidly induced signaling Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. The light-inducible functions genetically downstream LONG HYPOCOTYL...
Normal uptake, transportation, and assimilation of primary nutrients are essential to plant growth. Tracheary elements (TEs) tissues responsible for the transport water minerals characterized by patterned secondary cell wall (SCW) thickening.
