Glandular secretory trichomes (GSTs) can secrete and store a variety of specific metabolites. By increasing GST density, valuable metabolites be enhanced in terms productivity. However, the comprehensive detailed regulatory network initiation still needs further investigation. screening complementary DNA library derived from young leaves Artemisia annua, we identified MADS-box transcription factor, AaSEPALLATA1 (AaSEP1), that positively regulates initiation. Overexpression AaSEP1 A. annua...
The sesquiterpene lactone artemisinin is an important anti-malarial component produced by the glandular secretory trichomes of sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua L.). Light was previously shown to promote production, but underlying regulatory mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5), a central transcription factor in light signaling pathway, cannot biosynthesis on its own, as binding AaHY5 promoters biosynthetic genes failed activate their...
The tea aphid Toxoptera aurantii Boyer, is a devastating pest to the plant (Camellia sinensis). Tea plants can emit broad spectrum of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and patterns emission are significantly influenced by type herbivory. In current work, we examined how overall profile volatiles changes in response varying levels infestation multivariate network analysis. Notable profiles were found upon infestation. Multiple dimension reduction methods demonstrated that emissions from...
The plant Artemisia annua L. is famous for producing "artemisinin", which an essential component in the treatment of malaria. glandular secretory trichomes (GSTs) on leaves A. secrete and store artemisinin. Previous research has demonstrated that raising GST density can effectively raise artemisinin content. However, molecular mechanism initiation not fully understood yet. In this study, we identified MYB transcription factor, AaMYB108-like, co-induced by light jasmonic acid, positively...
The plant Artemisia annua is well known for its production of artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone that an effective antimalarial compound. Although remarkable progress has been made toward understanding artemisinin biosynthesis, the effect MADS-box family transcription factors on biosynthesis still poorly understood. In this study, we identified MADS factor, AaSEP4, was predominantly expressed in trichome. AaSEP4 acts as nuclear-localized transcriptional activator activating expression...
Abstract The Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression system has been developed and applied to various plants as an alternative stable transformation. However, its application in tomatoes is still limited due low efficiency. In this study, we describe improved vacuum-infiltration that can be used both tomato fruits leaves. Notably, study the first report of vacuum infiltration attached fruits. feasibility Micro-Tom was confirmed by assays, including multiple fluorescent protein analysis,...
Abstract Medicinal plants with high-value pharmaceutical ingredients have attracted research attention due to their beneficial effects on human health. Cell wall-free protoplasts of can be used evaluate the efficiency genome editing mutagenesis. The capabilities gene in medicinal remain fully explored owing complex genetic background and shortfall suitable transformation. Here, we took Salvia miltiorrhiza as a representative example for developing method screen favorable elements high...
