Root endodermis, the innermost cortical layer surrounding root vasculature, serves as foremost barrier to water, solutes, and nutrients taken up from soil. Endodermis functionality is achieved via its hydrophobic coating of lignified Casparian strips suberin lamellae; nonetheless regulatory mechanisms underlying endodermis suberization are still elusive. Here, we discovered that Arabidopsis SUBERMAN (SUB) transcription factor controls establishment lamellae. Transient expression SUB in...
Abstract Vascular tissues are surrounded by an apoplastic barrier formed endodermis that is vital for selective absorption of water and nutrients. Lignification suberization endodermal cell walls fundamental processes in establishing the barrier. Endodermal Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) roots presumed to be integration developmental regulation stress responses. In root endodermis, level enhanced when Casparian strip, lignified structure, defective. However, it not entirely clear how...
Summary Suberin lamellae, which provide a hydrophobic protective barrier against biotic and abiotic stresses, are widely deposited in various cell types during plant development response to stress. However, it remains unclear how developmental programs interact with stress responses direct the precise spatiotemporal pattern of suberin deposition. In this study, we found that SHORT‐ROOT (SHR), together its downstream factor MYB36, guided suberization specifically root endodermis. Despite...
Abstract The fruit neck is an important agronomic trait of cucumber (Cucumis sativus). However, the underlying genes and regulatory mechanisms involved in development are poorly understood. We previously identified a yellow-green peel (ygp) mutant, whose causal gene MYB DOMAIN PROTEIN 36 (CsMYB36). This study showed that ygp mutant exhibited shortened repressed cell expansion neck. Further functional analysis CsMYB36 was also target gene, its expression enriched Overexpression rescued necks....
SUMMARY Glandular trichomes (GTs) synthesize, store, and secrete diverse specialized metabolites that protect plants against biotic abiotic stress. The bloom is deposited on the GTs perceptible surface of cucumber fruit. Our previous investigation revealed absence fruit in loss‐of‐function CsMYB36 plants. are formed through a series cell differentiation events support compound production. However, mechanisms governing these remain unclear. Here, we found GT cells initiate excessive...
Nitrogen fixation in soybean takes place root nodules that arise from de novo cell divisions the cortex. Although several early nodulin genes have been identified, mechanism behind stimulation of cortical division during nodulation has not fully resolved. Here we provide evidence two paralogs SHORT-ROOT (GmSHR) play vital roles nodulation. Expression GmSHR4 and GmSHR5 (GmSHR4/5) is induced cells at beginning nodulation, when first occur. The expression level GmSHR4/5 positively associated...
To improve our understanding of the mechanism underlying cucumber glossiness regulation, a novel mutant with glossy peel (Csgp) was identified. MutMap, genotyping, and gene editing results demonstrated that CsSEC23, which is core component COPII vesicles, mediates fruit peel. CsSEC23 functionally conserved located in Golgi endoplasmic reticulum. could interact CsSEC31, but this interaction absent Csgp mutant, decreased efficiency vesicle transportation. Genes related to wax cutin transport...
Brassica rapa includes various vegetables with high economic value. Among them, green petiole type pakchoi (B. ssp. chinensis) is one of the major grown in southern China. Compared other B. varieties, shows a higher level heat resistance, which partially derived from rich epicuticular wax. Here we sequence high-quality genome pakchoi, has been widely used as parent breeding. Our results reveal that long terminal repeat retrotransposon insertion plays critical roles promoting expansion and...
Abstract Cell wall lignification is a key step in forming functional endodermis and protoxylem (PX) plant roots. Lignified casparian strips (CS) tracheary elements of PX are essential for selective absorption transport water nutrients. Although multiple regulators CS have been identified, the spatial information that drives developmental shift to root remains unknown. Here, we found brassinosteroid (BR) signaling plays role inhibiting elongation zone. The inhibitory activity BR occurs...
Fruit curving lowers the commercial value of cucumber and leads to significant economic losses. The mechanism driving abnormal is largely unknown. Through our previous work, we discovered that 2 days post-anthesis (DPA) was key time point at which various phenotypic genotypic characteristics fruits are determined. Here, analyzed transcriptome concave (C1) convex (C2) sides curved DPA by Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment functional pathway analyses identified auxin as a putative factor...
Cucumber (<italic>Cucumis sativus</italic> L.) is an important vegetable crop worldwide. Over the last two decades, there have been many breakthroughs in understanding of various developmental processes cucumber, such as shoot branching, sex differentiation, and leaf fruit size shape. Roots play role plant growth development nutrient absorption, affect yield, participate interaction between plants abiotic stress signals. However, discovery essential genes cucumber roots very limited....
The hairy root induction system was used to efficiently investigate gene expression and function in plant root. Cucumber is a significant vegetable crop worldwide, with shallow roots, few lateral weak systems, resulting low nutrient absorption utilization efficiency. Identifying essential genes related development an effective way improve the growth of cucumbers. However, genetic mechanisms underlying cucumber have not been explored. Here, we report novel, rapid, transformation system....
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is one of the most economically important fruits Cucurbitaceae family, therefore consideration potential pesticide residues in fruit context cucumber breeding and production programs important. Propamocarb (a commonly used to prevent downy mildew) widely cultivation, but molecular mechanism underlying degradation metabolism propamocarb not well understood. We screened a candidate CsHMGB gene (CsaV3-5G28190) for response exposure using transcriptome data. The...
CRISPR/Cas9 (hereafter Cas9)-mediated gene knockout is one of the most important tools for studying function. However, many genes in plants play distinct roles different cell types. Engineering currently used Cas9 system to achieve cell-type-specific functional useful addressing cell-specific functions genes. Here we employed promoters WUSCHEL RELATED HOMEOBOX 5 (WOX5), CYCLIND6;1 (CYCD6;1), and ENDODERMIS7 (EN7) drive element, allowing tissue-specific targeting interest. We designed...
Summary Increased planting densities boost crop yields. A compact plant architecture facilitates dense planting. However, the mechanisms regulating in cucurbits remain unclear. In this study, we identified a cucumber ( Cucumis sativus ) cpa1 mutant from an ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS)‐mutagenized library that exhibited distinctive phenotypic traits, including reduced leaf petiole angle and size. The candidate mutation causes premature stop codon CsaV3_1G036420 , which shares similarity to...
The formation of edible organs and stress adaption are two major focuses the studies on vegetable species. regulation these processes often involves cell-to-cell signaling. In most plants, including species, intercellular signaling can be delivered by mobile regulators that traffic through a channel called plasmodesmata connecting almost all cells. A large number transcription factors RNAs have been discovered to move across (called symplastic way) travel short-range or long-distance. This...
