Leaf spot caused by Stemphylium vesicarium is a severe disease of Vicia villosa and first reported in 2019. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) Trichoderma are common beneficial microorganisms soil that enhance plant resistance to pathogens. This study established greenhouse experiment examine the physiological transcriptomic changes V. were co-inoculated with AMF Sieverdingia tortuosa longibrachiatum determine their effects on development disease. Infection pathogen reduced shoot biomass...
We report isolation and characterization of a fragile culm mutant fc116 that displays reduced mechanical strength caused by decreased cellulose content altered cell wall structure in rice. Map-based cloning revealed was base substitution (G to A) putative beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (C2GnT) gene (LOC_Os05g07790, allelic BC10). This mutation resulted one amino acid missing within newly-identified protein motif "R, RXG, RA". The FC116/BC10 lowly but ubiquitously expressed the all...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are effective against different plant pathogens and newly considered as part of defense systems. From prokaryotes to eukaryotes, AMPs can exist in all forms life. SM-985 is a cationic AMP (CAMP) isolated from the cDNA library Mexican teosinte (Zea mays ssp. mexicana). A computational prediction server running with algorithms was used screen for AMPs, peptide predicted an high probability values. arginine-rich composed 21 amino acids (MW: 2671.06 Da). The...
Rhizobia are rod-shaped bacteria that form nitrogen-fixing root nodules on leguminous plants; however, they don’t carry MreB, a key determinant of rod-like cell shape. Here, we introduced an actin-like mreB homolog from pseudomonad into Mesorhizobium huakuii 7653R (a microsymbiont Astragalus sinicus L.) and examined the molecular, cellular, symbiotic phenotypes resultant mutant. Exogenous caused enlarged size slower growth in laboratory medium. However, mutant formed small, ineffective A....
Legumes in the inverted repeat-lacking clade (IRLC) each produce a unique set of nodule-specific cysteine-rich (NCR) peptides, which act concert to determine terminal differentiation nitrogen-fixing bacteroid. IRLC legumes differ greatly their numbers NCR and sequence diversity. This raises significant question how bacteroid is collectively controlled by specific repertoire an legume. Astragalus sinicus legume that forms indeterminate nodules with its microsymbiont Mesorhizobium huakuii...
In the Rhizobium-Legume symbiosis, nodulation outer protein P (NopP) effector is one of key regulators for rhizobial infection and nodule organogenesis. However, molecular mechanism through which host legume plants sense NopP remains largely unknown. Here, we constructed an nopP deletion mutant Mesorhizobium huakuii found that negatively regulates on Chinese milk vetch (Astragalus sinicus). Screening interacting proteins in using yeast 2-hybrid system identified 43 (AsNIP43), encodes a...
In the production of biofuel from biomass, enzymatic hydrolysis potential (EHP) feedstock plays a critical role in determining process’s saccharification efficiency (SE) and economic feasibility. this study, artificial biomass Eichhornia crassipes (EC) sugarcane bagasse (SB), as well actual EC SB pretreated by four different chemical methods, were subjected to hydrolysis. A binary linear-regression equation (BLE), y=β1χ1+β2χ2, was derived illustrate relationship between sugar yield (y)...
