The NAC designation is derived from petunia (Petunia hybrida) gene NO APICAL MERISTEM (NAM) and Arabidopsis genes ATAF1/ATAF2 CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON2 (CUC2), which belongs to the family of plant-specific transcription factors (TFs), plays important role in plant development processes, such as response biotic abiotic stress, hormone signaling. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class small, non-coding endogenous RNAs play versatile significant stress via negatively affecting expression at...

The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), one of the most important food crops worldwide, is sensitive to environmental stresses. Sensor–responder complexes comprising calcineurin B-like (CBL) proteins and CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) not only modulate plant growth development but also mediate numerous stress responses. Here, using a Hidden Markov Model BLAST searches, 27 CIPK genes were identified in divided into five groups by phylogenetic analysis two clades (intron-poor intron-rich)...

The nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) family is comprised of transcription factors that have been implicated in multiple plant biological processes. However, little known about this potato. In the present study, a total 41 StNF-Y genes were identified potato genome. addition, phylogenetic, gene structure, motif, and chromosomal location analyzed. tissue expression profiles based on RNA-seq data showed 27 had tissue-specific expression, while remaining 14 low all tissues. Publicly available...

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is an important global food source, the growth of which can be severely impacted by Ralstonia solanacearum bacterial infection. Despite extensive research, molecular mechanisms potato resistance to this pathogen are imperfectly known. Huashu No. 12, a tetraploid genotype, highly resistant R. solanacearum. We inoculate 12 and Longshu 7 (highly susceptible solanacearum) with compare disease in these two varieties. has significantly higher infection than 7, increased...

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPK) are implicated in signaling transduction eukaryotic organisms. It is largely unknown whether StCDPK28 plays a role the response to water deficiency and osmotic stress potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L.). Potato cv. Zihuabai was cultivated under natural, moderate, severe conditions; induce stress, were treated with 10% or 20% PEG. StCDPK28-overexpression StCDPK28-knockdown constructed. StCDPKs evaluated by qRT-PCR. The subcellular location of observed...

Abstract Helopeltis theivora Waterhouse is a predominant sucking pest in many tropic economic crops, such as tea, cocoa and coffee. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) one of the most powerful tools to analyze gene expression level investigate mechanism insect physiology at transcriptional level. Gene studies utilizing qRT-PCR have been applied numerous insects so far. However, no universal reference genes could be used for H . To obtain accurate reliable normalized data , twelve candidate...

Abstract All over the world, potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) production is constrained by several biotic and abiotic factors. Many techniques mechanisms have been used to overcome these hurdles increase food for rising population. In crop plants, mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, a significant regulator of MAPK pathway under various stress conditions, one targets productivity. plays role drought in potato. However, function resistance poorly understood. this study, we wanted...

Abstract Proline is a multifunctional molecule, which especially associated with response to abiotic stress. The proline dehydrogenase (ProDH) the rate‐limiting enzyme in process of catabolism. In present study, two potato ProDH genes, StProDH1 and StProDH2 , were cloned from ( Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivar ‘Favorita’. Gene expression analysis indicated that these genes exhibited tissue‐specific responded differently various stress conditions, plays predominant role most conditions. An...

Autophagy is a highly conserved process in eukaryotes that used to recycle the cellular components from cytoplasm. It plays crucial function responding both biotic and abiotic stress, as well growth development of plants. Autophagy-related genes (ATG) their functions have been identified numerous crop species. However, specific tasks potatoes ( Solanum tuberosum L.), are still not understood. This work first identify characterize potato StATG18 subfamily gene at whole-genome level, resulting...

Abstract Autophagy is a highly conserved method of recycling cytoplasm components in eukaryotes. It plays an important role plant growth and development, as well response to biotic abiotic stresses. Although autophagy‐related genes (ATGs) have been identified several crop species, their particular potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) remains unclear.
