MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play a central role in regulating various developmental and biological processes. The expression of miRNAs is differentially modulated response to biotic abiotic stresses. Recent findings have shown some pri-miRNAs encode regulatory peptides known as microRNA-encoded (miPEPs). miPEPs regulate the growth development plants by modulating corresponding miRNA expression; however, these under different stress conditions remains unexplored. Here,...
Flavonoids synthesized by the phenylpropanoid pathway participate in myriad physiological and biochemical processes plants. Due to diversity of secondary transformations complexity regulation branched pathways, single gene strategies have not been very successful enhancing accumulation targeted molecules. We expressed an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transcription factor, AtMYB12, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), which resulted enhanced expression genes involved pathway, leading severalfold...
Abstract Background Widespread use of chromium (Cr) contaminated fields due to careless and inappropriate management practices effluent discharge, mostly from industries related metallurgy, electroplating, production paints pigments, tanning, wood preservation elevates its concentration in surface soil eventually into rice plants grains. In spite many previous studies having been conducted on the effects stress, precise molecular mechanisms both phytotoxicity, defense reactions against...
Rhizoctonia solani is a necrotrophic fungi causing sheath blight in rice leading to substantial loss yield. Excessive and persistent use of preventive chemicals raises human health environment safety concerns. As an alternative, biocontrol agents highly recommended. In the present study, abiotic stress tolerant, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (SN13) demonstrated act as agent enhance immune response against R. by modulating various physiological, metabolic,...
Withania somnifera is one of the most valuable medicinal plants used in Ayurvedic and other indigenous medicine systems due to bioactive molecules known as withanolides. As genomic information regarding this plant very limited, little available about biosynthesis To facilitate basic understanding withanolide pathways, we performed transcriptome sequencing for leaf (101L) root (101R) which specifically synthesize withaferin A A, respectively. Pyrosequencing yielded 8,34,068 7,21,755 reads got...
Banana is one of the most important crop plants grown in tropics and sub-tropics. It a climacteric fruit undergoes ethylene dependent ripening. Once ripening initiated, it proceeds at fast rate making postharvest life short, which can result heavy economic losses. During process number physiological biochemical changes take place thousands genes from various metabolic pathways are recruited to produce ripe edible fruit. To better understand underlying mechanism ripening, we undertook study...
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Argentina , Neocamarosporium halophilum leaf spots Atriplex undulata . Australia Aschersonia merianiae on scale insect ( Coccoidea ), Curvularia huamulaniae isolated air, Hevansia mainiae dead spider, Ophiocordyceps poecilometigena Poecilometis sp. Bolivia Lecanora menthoides sandstone, open semi-desert montane areas, Sticta monlueckiorum corticolous a forest, Trichonectria epimegalosporae...
Abstract AP2/ERF domain containing transcription factor super family is one of the important regulators in plant kingdom. The involvement members has been elucidated various processes associated with growth, development as well response to hormones, biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, we carried out genome-wide analysis identify Musa acuminata (A genome) balbisiana (B changes leading neofunctionalisation genes. Analysis identified 265 318 encoding genes M. respectively which were...
Abiotic stresses adversely affect cellular homeostasis, impairing overall growth and development of plants. These initial stress signals activate downstream signalling processes, which, subsequently, stress-responsive mechanisms to re-establish homeostasis. Dehydrins (DHNs) play an important role in combating dehydration stress. Rice (Oryza sativa L.), which is a paddy crop, susceptible drought As survival rice might be viewed as trait with strong evolutionary selection pressure, we observed...
The WRKY gene family plays an important role in the development and stress responses plants. As information is not available on Musa species, genome-wide analysis has been carried out this study using genomic from two acuminata balbisiana. Analysis identified 147 132 members of M. balbisiana respectively. Evolutionary suggests that expanded much before speciation both species. Most orthologs retained species were γ duplication event which occurred prior to α β (GWD) events. also subtle...
Drought is the major abiotic factors that limit crop productivity worldwide. To withstand stress conditions, plants alter numerous mechanisms for adaption and tolerance. Therefore, in present study, 106 rice varieties were screened drought tolerance phenotype via exposing different concentrations of polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) hydroponic nutrient medium at time interval 1, 3, 7 days to evaluate changes their root system architecture. Further, based on obtained after PEG-induced drought,...
Abstract Flavonoid biosynthesis is largely regulated at the transcriptional level due to modulated expression of genes related phenylpropanoid pathway in plants. Although accumulation different flavonoids has been reported banana, a staple fruit crop, no detailed information available on regulation this important plant. We carried out genome-wide analysis banana ( Musa acuminata , AAA genome) and identified 28 belonging 9 gene families associated with flavonoid biosynthesis. Expression...
The benzylisoquinoline alkaloid papaverine, synthesized in low amount most of the opium poppy varieties Papaver somniferum, is used as a vasodilator muscle relaxant and antispasmodic. Papaverine biosynthesis remains controversial two different routes utilizing either (S)-coclaurine or (S)-reticuline have been proposed with uncharacterized intermediate steps. In an attempt to elucidate papaverine identify putative genes involved steps, we carried out comparative transcriptome analysis high...
Withania somnifera is one of the most valuable medicinal plants synthesizing secondary metabolites known as withanolides. Despite pharmaceutical importance, limited information available about biosynthesis Chemo-profiling leaf and root tissues suggest differences in content and/or nature withanolides different chemotypes. To identify genes involved chemotype tissue-specific withanolide biosynthesis, we established transcriptomes distinct Genes encoding enzymes for intermediate steps...
Abstract Chickpea ( C. arietinum L .) is an important pulse crop in Asian and African countries that suffers significant yield losses due to attacks by insects like H. armigera . To obtain insights into early responses of chickpea insect attack, a transcriptomic analysis leaves just 20 minutes after simulated herbivory was performed, using oral secretions coupled with mechanical wounding. Expression profiles revealed differential regulation 8.4% the total leaf transcriptome 1334 genes...
