Abstract To facilitate the pseudochromosomes assembly and gene cloning in rapeseed, we developed a reference genetic population/map (named BnaZNF 2 ) from two sequenced cultivars, Zhongshuang11 No.73290, those exhibit significant differences many traits, particularly yield components. The map exhibited perfect collinearity with physical of B. napus , indicating its high quality. Comparative mapping revealed several genomic rearrangements between rapa or oleracea . A total eight 16 QTLs were...
Light functions as the primary environmental stimulus and brassinosteroids (BRs) important endogenous growth regulators throughout plant lifecycle. Photomorphogenesis involves a series of vital developmental processes that require suppression BR-mediated seedling growth, but mechanism underlying light-controlled regulation BR pathway remains unclear. Here, we reveal nuclear factor YC proteins (NF-YCs) function essential repressors during hypocotyl in Arabidopsis thaliana. In light, NF-YCs...
The flowering time of higher plants is controlled by environmental cues and intrinsic signals. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), accelerated exposure to long-day conditions via the key photoperiod-induced factor FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT). Nuclear Factor-Y subunit C (NF-YC) proteins function as important mediators epigenetic marks in different plant developmental stages play an role regulation FT transcription, but mechanistic details this remain unknown. study, we show that NF-YC homologs...
Mycorrhizal inoculation was widely reported to alleviate the damage resulting from NaCl by various physiological ways. However, symbiotic benefit under distant concentrations and relationship among different responsive processes were elusive. In this study, saline resistant plant Xanthoceras sorbifolium selected as experimental material five of in presence or absence Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi (AMF) conducted, order understand differences similarities on photosynthesis, antioxidant...
Volatiles are important for plant root stress resistance. The diseases in tea serious, causing major losses. volatile composition and whether it can resist remain unclear. In this study, the different tissues was revealed. vanillin content higher (mainly cortex) than aerial parts. antifungal effects of on pathogenic fungi were equal to or greater those other metabolites. O-methyltransferase (CsOMT), a key enzyme one two biosynthetic pathways vanillin, converted protocatechualdehyde vitro....
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a crucial crop due to its high plant protein and oil content. Previous studies have shown that soybeans exhibit significant heterosis in terms of yield content However, the practical application soybean remains difficult, as molecular mechanisms underlying photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterile (PGMS) still unclear. This study characterized PGMS line 88-428BY, which under short-day (SD) conditions fertile long-day (LD) conditions. To elucidate genetic...
Seed number per pod (SNPP) is one of the major yield components and breeding targets in rapeseed that shows great variation invaluable for genetic improvement. To elucidate architecture uncover mechanism SNPP, we identified five quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using BnaZNRIL population, which were integrated with those previous studies by physical map to demonstrate a complex relatively complete SNPP. A QTL, qSN.A6, was successfully fine-mapped from 1910 267 kb near-isogenic line (NIL). In...
Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are critical compounds that directly or indirectly regulate the tritrophic interactions among herbivores, natural enemies and plants. The synthesis release of HIPVs regulated by many biotic abiotic factors. However, mechanism which multiple factors synergistically affect remains unclear. Tea (Camellia sinensis) is object this study because its rich varied volatile metabolites. In study, benzyl nitrile was released from herbivore-attacked tea plants...
Seed storage protein (SSP) acts as one of the main components seed reserves, which accumulation is tightly mediated by a sophisticated regulatory network. However, whether and how gibberellin (GA) signaling involved in this important biological event not fully understood. Here, we show that SSP content Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) significantly reduced GA increased biosynthesis triple mutant ga3ox1/3/4. Further investigation shows DELLA RGA-LIKE3 (RGL3), negative regulator signaling,...
To investigate the effect of Interleukin 17 (IL-17) on invasive capacity trophoblast cells and underlying mechanism, we collected placental tissues samples from pregnant women with preeclampsia (PE) healthy women. The expression levels IL-17 mRNA protein in tissue were determined using qRT-PCR Western blot, respectively. Cell viability cell proliferation was CCK-8 assay, colony formation migration invasion transwell assay. Our results showed that significantly increased PE patients may be...
As the most important yield component in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), pod number is determined by a series of successive growth and development processes. Pod shows extensive variation natural germplasm, which valuable for genetic improvement. However, especially molecular mechanism this kind are poorly understood. In study, we conducted QTL mapping RNA sequencing, respectively, using BnaZNRIL population its two parental cultivars Zhongshuang11 No.73290 showed significant difference number,...
The phytohormone gibberellin (GA) is critical for anther development. RGA, a member of the DELLA family proteins that are central GA signalling repressors, key regulator male fertility in plants. However, downstream genes GA-RGA-mediated development remain to be characterised. We identified RGA Target 1 (RGAT1), novel Arabidopsis gene, functions as an important RGA-regulated target pollen RGAT1 predominantly expressed tapetum and microspores during stages 8-11, can directly activated by...
Seed number is one of the key traits related to plant evolution/domestication and crop improvement/breeding. In rapeseed germplasm, seed per pod (SNPP) shows a very wide variation from several nearly 30; however, underlying causations/mechanisms for this are poorly known. current study, genetic cytological bases natural SNPP in was firstly systematically investigated using representative four high-SNPP five low-SNPP lines. The results self- or cross-pollination experiment between high- lines...
Environmental stresses cause an increased number of unfolded or misfolded proteins to accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), resulting ER stress. To restore homeostasis and survive, plants initiate orchestrated signaling pathway known as protein response (UPR). Asparagine-rich (NRP) 1 NRP2, two homologous harboring a Development Cell Death domain, are associated with various stress responses Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), but relevant molecular mechanism remains obscure. Here, we...
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) lays a foundation for the utilization of heterosis in soybean. The soybean CMS line SXCMS5A is an excellent exhibiting 100% sterility. Cytological analysis revealed that compared to its maintainer SXCMS5B, tapetum was vacuolated and abnormally developed. To identify genes metabolic pathways involving pollen abortion SXCMS5A, comparative transcriptome conducted between SXCMS5B using flower buds. A total 372,973,796 high quality clean reads were obtained from 6...
Abstract The lncRNA biomarkers in melanoma remain to be further explored. lncRNAs with different expression levels tissue were identified by microarray analysis. To investigate the biological functions of target lncRNA, several - vivo and vitro studies performed.
