Abstract Background Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm-season perennial (C4) grass identified as an important biofuel crop in the United States. It well adapted to marginal environment where heat and moisture stresses predominantly affect growth. However, underlying molecular mechanisms associated with drought stress tolerance still need be fully understood switchgrass. The methylation of H3K4 often transcriptional activation genes, including stress-responsive. Therefore, this study...
This study identified proteomic changes in the seeds of two tolerant (SB-DT3 and SB-DT2) sensitive (Merlot Stampede) common bean genotypes response to terminal drought stress. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were abundant susceptible genotype compared line. DEPs associated with starch biosynthesis, protein-chromophore linkage, photosynthesis both genotypes, while a few enriched biological pathways exhibited genotype-specific differences. The uniquely showed related sugar metabolism...
As climate changes and a growing global population continue to escalate the need for greater production capabilities of food crops, technological advances in agricultural crop research will remain necessity. While great improvement over past century have contributed massive increases yield, classic breeding schemes lack rate genetic gain needed meet future demands. In decade, new techniques tools been developed aid improvement. One such advancement is use speed breeding. Speed known as...
We conducted a genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of three drought tolerant and sensitive genotypes common bean to examine their transcriptional responses terminal stress. then pairwise comparisons between the root leaf transcriptomes from resulting tissue based on combined data genotypes. Our revealed that 491 (6.4%) DEGs (differentially expressed genes) were upregulated in genotypes, whereas they downregulated genotypes; likewise, 396 (5.1%) Several transcription factors, heat shock...
Many environmental stresses can affect the accumulation of metabolites in plants, including drought. In present study, we found a great deal variability seed metabolic profiles tolerant (Matterhorn, SB-DT2 and SB-DT3) common bean genotypes comparison to sensitive (Sawtooth, Merlot Stampede) using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). The were grown field subjected drought stress after flowering (terminal stress). We aimed investigate...
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are important regulators of gene transcription thus controlling multiple cellular processes. Despite its essential role in plants, HDA6 is yet to be validated common bean. In this study, we show that involved plant development and stress response. Differential expression was determined various tissues the seen upregulated with age (seedling < flowering maturity). Higher observed flowers pods than stem, leaf, root. Upregulation during cold implies prominent...
The tRNA structure contains conserved modifications that are responsible for its stability and involved in the initiation accuracy of translation process. modification enzymes prevalent bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes. Gm18 methyltransferase (TrmH) m1G37 (TrmD) essential bacterial populations. TrmH involves itself methylation process at 2'-OH group ribose 18th position guanosine (G) tRNAs. TrmD methylates G residue next to anticodon selected subsets. Initially, was reported take place on three...
Salt marsh grass (Sporobolus alterniflorus) plays a crucial role in Delaware coastal regions by serving as physical barrier between land and water along the inland bays beaches. This vegetation helps to stabilize shoreline prevent erosion, protecting from powerful forces of waves tides. In addition providing barrier, salt is responsible for filtering nutrients water, offering an environment aquatic species presenting focal point study high tolerance plants. As seawater concentrations vary...
The endophytic fungi, Epicoccum sorghinum AMFS4 was investigated for its metabolic components and composition of bioactive exopolysaccharides (EPS). Metabolic analysis the ethyl acetate extract majorly detected sugars derivatives such as, 4-Cholesten-3-one semicarbazone (20.9%), d-Fructose (18.96%), α-d-Galactopyranosiduronicacid (1.71%). growth curve EPS yield were determined as 12.22 ± 1.02 g/L 7.41 0.32 (dry weight) respectively on day 8. deproteined has been characterised with pyranose...
