Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is the sixth most important food crop in world. The formation and development of storage roots sweet a highly complicated genetically programmed process. However, underlying mechanisms root have not yet been elucidated. To better understand molecular involved development, combined analysis transcriptome proteome fibrous (F) at four different stages (D1, D3, D5 D10) was performed present study. A total 26,273 differentially expressed genes were identified...
Abstract Seed dormancy and germination, two physiological processes unique to seed-bearing plants, are critical for plant growth crop production. The phytohormone brassinosteroid (BR) regulates many aspects of development, including seed germination. molecular mechanisms underlying BR control rice (Oryza sativa) germination mostly unknown. We investigated the regulatory cascade in promoting post-germination growth. Physiological assays indicated that blocking signaling, introducing defects...
Abstract Background Generating elite rice varieties with high yield and superior quality is the main goal of breeding programs. Key agronomic traits, including grain size seed germination characteristics, affect final rice. The RGA1 gene, which encodes α-subunit G-protein, plays an important role in regulating architecture, abiotic stress responses. However, whether involved regulation traits still unclear. Results In this study, a mutant small round 5 ( srg5 ), was identified EMS-induced...
Seed germination is the beginning of a new lifecycle, and involves many complex physiological biochemical reactions including seed reserve mobilization in endosperm nutrient transport reuse embryo. Although glutelin dominant storage protein rice, its contribution to regulatory mechanisms are mostly unknown. Gibberellin (GA) brassinosteroid (BR), two major growth-promoting phytohormones, also play positive roles controlling germination. However, how GA BR interact coordinate facilitate...
High quality stands as a pivotal competitive edge in the rice industry. Optimizing amylose content (AC) and physicochemical properties of endosperm starch by regulating Wx gene is crucial for enhancing grain quality. In this study, we created novel Wxb-d25 allele deleting 25 bp segment (−26 to −2) within core promoter using CRISPR/Cas9. Compared with wild type previously reported Wxb-i1, exhibited no significant changes agronomic traits. However, its grains displayed temperature-dependent...
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are essential plant-specific steroidal hormones that regulate diverse growth and developmental processes in plants. We evaluated the effects of OsDWF4, a gene encodes rate-limiting enzyme BR biosynthesis, on both rice yield quality when driven by Gt1 or Ubi promoter, which correspond to seed-specific constitutive expression, respectively. Generally, transgenic plants expressing OsDWF4 showed increased grain with more tillers longer heavier seeds. Moreover, starch...
Leaf angle is a key parameter that determines plant architecture and crop yield. Hormonal crosstalk involving brassinosteroid (BR) plays an essential role in leaf regulation cereals. In this study, we investigated whether abscisic acid (ABA), important stress-responsive hormone, co-regulates lamina joint inclination together with BR, and, if so, what the underlying mechanism is. Therefore, assay RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis were performed here. ABA antagonizes promotive effect of BR on...
Abstract Sweet potato is an important plant for researchers to study storage root development and resistance. MADS ‐box proteins are a group of transcription factors which play crucial role in as well stress response. However, the investigation regarding sweet genes remains limited up now. In this study, nine genes, named Ib MBP 1˜Ib 9 , were cloned characterized. Nine exhibited different tissue‐specific expression profiles. 2 3 4 showed high during roots upregulated by development‐related...
Light and brassinosteroid (BR) are master environmental stimulus endogenous cue for plant growth development respectively. Great progress has been made in elucidating the molecular mechanisms on cross-talk between light BR. However, little is known about how BZR1, pivotal integration node, regulated by dark. Here, we demonstrated that an intact BR signaling pathway essential dark-induced hypocotyl elongation. Consequent expression assay showed light–dark switch affected BZR1 phosphorylation...
