H2O2 is known as a signal molecule in plant cells, but its role the regulation of aqbscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic (GA) metabolism hormonal balance not yet clear. In this study it was found that affected ABA catabolism GA biosynthesis during seed imbibition thus exerted control over dormancy germination. As seen by quantitative RT-PCR (QRT-PCR), up-regulated genes (e.g. CYP707A genes), resulting decreased content imbibition. This action required participation nitric oxide (NO), another...
In eukaryotes, mechanisms such as alternative splicing (AS) and translation initiation (ATI) contribute to organismal protein diversity. Specifically, factors play crucial roles in responses environment development cues; however, the underlying are not well investigated plants. Here, we report parallel employment of short-read RNA sequencing, single molecule long-read sequencing proteomic identification unravel AS isoforms previously unannotated proteins response abscisic acid (ABA)...
Roots are important plant organs. Lateral root (LR) initiation (LRI) and development play a central role in environmental adaptation. The mechanism of LR has been well investigated Arabidopsis. When we evaluated the distribution auxin abscisic acid (ABA) maize, found that differed from ABA within primary roots (PRs) LRs was independent each other. Auxin localization observed below quiescent center tips, while localized at top center. Furthermore, NaCl inhibited LRI by increasing...
Rice (Oryza sativa) molecular breeding has gained considerable attention in recent years, but inaccurate genome annotation hampers its progress and functional studies of the rice genome. In this study, we applied single-molecule long-read RNA sequencing (lrRNA_seq)-based proteogenomics to reveal complexity transcriptome coding abilities. Surprisingly, approximately 60% loci identified by lrRNA_seq are associated with natural antisense transcripts (NATs). The high-density genomic arrangement...
Alternative splicing (AS) enhances transcriptome plasticity and proteome diversity in response to diverse growth stress cues, which places AS at the crossroads of adaptation environmental (Chen et al., 2019a; Kuang 2017). In recent years, high-throughput sequencing-based analysis plant transcriptomes has shown that this alternatively spliced mRNA processing is pervasive across species, with more than 80% 70% intron-containing genes producing different isoforms Arabidopsis rice, respectively...
Summary Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) has two ecotypes, upland and lowland rice, that have been observed to show different tolerance levels under flooding stress. In this study, rice cultivars, (Up221, flooding‐intolerant) (Low88, flooding‐tolerant), were initially used study their molecular mechanisms in response germination. We variations the Os CBL 10 promoter sequences these cultivars might contribute divergence tolerance. Further analysis using another eight revealed could be classified as...
Germination is a plant developmental process by which radicle of mature seeds start to penetrate surrounding barriers for seedling establishment and multiple environmental factors have been shown affect it. Little known how high salinity affects seed germination C4 plant, Zea mays. Preliminary assay suggested that isolated embryo alone was able germinate under 200 mM NaCl treatment, whereas the intact were highly repressed. We hypothesized maize endosperm may function in perception...
Carbon reserves in rice straw (stem and sheath) before flowering contribute to a significant portion of grain filling. However, the molecular mechanism carbon reserve remobilization from grains remains unclear. In this study, super LYP9 conventional 9311 showed different behaviors. The transcriptomic profiles straws were analyzed at three stages Among differentially expressed genes (DGs), 5,733 uniquely up- or down-regulated 30 days after anthesis (DAA) between comparison with 681 10 DAA 495...
Earlier studies showed that sugars as signaling molecules play pivotal roles in the regulation of seed germination. ABA biosynthesis upregulation is suggested one possible mechanisms mediating glucose-induced delay In this study, role catabolism inhibition was investigated. Using Arabidopsis thaliana seeds, results show repression by diniconazole aggravated The transcript and protein profiles CYP707A2, a key gene encoding 8'-hydroxylase Arabidopsis, were significantly decreased exogenous...
Neostagonosporellasichuanensis sp. nov. was found on Phyllostachysheteroclada collected from Sichuan Province in China and is introduced a new genus Neostagonosporella gen. this paper. Evidence for the placement of taxon family Phaeosphaeriaceae supported by morphology phylogenetic analysis combined LSU, SSU, ITS TEF 1-α DNA sequence dataset. Maximum-likelihood, maximum-parsimony Bayesian inference analyses support as distinct within family. The compared with related genera full descriptions...
Serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins are widely found in higher eukaryotes, including metazoans and plants. They form a major family of essential splicing factors that function both constitutive (CS) alternative (AS). Some SR can also shuttle between the nucleus cytoplasm have roles beyond splicing. The activities required for many living organisms to maintain normal growth development. Although genes been identified numerous plants, they less studied than those animals. results existing...
Abstract Plants have evolved a two-layer immune system comprising pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered (ETI) that is activated in response to pathogen invasion. Microbial patterns effectors can be recognized by surface-localized pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) intracellularly localized nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLRs) trigger PTI ETI responses, respectively. At present, the metabolites their roles signalling pathways plant are not well understood. In this...
Abstract: The early flowering gene CONSTANS (CO) from Arabidopsis thaliana was transferred into Artemisia annua using the Agrobacterium tumefaciens ‐mediated transformation system. plant expression vector pBI CO constructed by inserting binary pBI121 under control of CaMV 35S promoter. Analyses PCR, PCR Southern blot, and blot revealed that transgenic plants contained foreign gene. results RT‐PCT RT‐PCR suggested had expressed at transcriptional level. Although time about 2 weeks earlier...
Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is the crucial enzyme of phenylpropanoid pathway, which plays an important role in plant disease resistance. To understand function PAL Picea asperata, this study, full-length cDNA sequence gene from species was isolated and named PaPAL. The contains a 2160-bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 720 amino acids with calculated molecular weight 78.7 kDa theoretical isoelectric point 5.88. deduced PaPAL protein possesses specific signature motif...
Phyllachora species usually cause leaf tar spot disease associated with living leaves in various hosts. In this study, a sample of stem was collected from Phyllostachys heteroclada forest Ya’an City, Sichuan Province, China. Here we introduce new taxon the genus through using morphology, information on host and multigene phylogeny three genes (LSU, SSU, ITS).
