Plant roots release phytochemicals into the soil environment to influence nutrient availability and uptake. Arabidopsis thaliana phenylpropanoid coumarins in response iron (Fe) deficiency, likely enhance Fe uptake improve plant health. This requires sufficient phosphorus (P) root environment. Nonetheless, regulatory interplay influencing coumarin production under varying availabilities of P is not known. Through genome-wide association studies, we have pinpointed ABC transporter G family...
Chaperonin containing T-complex polypeptide-1 (CCT) is an evolutionarily conserved chaperonin multi-subunit complex that mediates protein folding in eukaryotes. It essential for cell growth and survival yeast mammals, with diverse substrate proteins. However, only a few studies on plant CCT have been reported to date, due the essentiality of subunit genes large size complex. Here, we investigated structure function Arabidopsis detail. The consisted eight subunits assemble form...
Autophagy serves as an important recycling route for the growth and survival of eukaryotic organisms in nutrient-deficient conditions. Since starvation induces massive changes metabolic flux that are coordinated by key enzymes, specific processing steps autophagy may be linked with flux-monitoring enzymes. We attempted to identify carbon genes modulate using VIGS screening 45 glycolysis- Calvin-Benson cycle-related Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Here, we report three consecutive...
The target of rapamycin complex (TORC) plays a key role in plant cell growth and survival by regulating the gene expression metabolism according to environmental information. TORC activates transcription, mRNA translation, anabolic processes under favorable conditions, thereby promoting development. Tomato fruit ripening is developmental process promoted ethylene specific transcription factors. known modulate leaf senescence tomato. In this study, we investigated function tomato using...
Yeast Rpf2 plays a critical role in the incorporation of 5S rRNA into pre-ribosomes by forming binary complex with Rrs1. The protein characteristics and overexpression phenotypes Arabidopsis Ribosome Production Factor 2 (ARPF2) Regulator Synthesis 1 (ARRS1) have been previously studied. Here, we analyze loss-of-function ARPF2 ARRS1 using virus-induced gene silencing to determine their functions pre-rRNA processing ribosome biogenesis. led pleiotropic developmental defects. RNA gel blot...
Abstract Photomorphogenesis, light-mediated development, is an essential feature of all terrestrial plants. While chloroplast development and brassinosteroid (BR) signaling are known players in photomorphogenesis, proteins that regulate both pathways have yet to be identified. Here we report D E-ETIOLATION IN THE DARK A ND Y ELLOWING LIGHT (DAY) , a membrane protein containing DnaJ-like domain, plays dual-role photomorphogenesis by stabilizing the BR receptor, BRI1, as well key enzyme...
Abstract Autophagy serves as an important recycling route for growth and survival of eukaryotic organisms in nutrient-deficient conditions. When confronted with starvation, metabolic flux is coordinated by individual enzymes. Given that the diversity carbon eukaryotes related to their lifestyle, autophagy may be modulated enzymes monitoring flux. Here, we attempted identify genes modulate using VIGS screening 45 glycolysis- Calvin-Benson cycle-related genes. We report here three consecutive...
