Abstract The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) has been suggested to play a role in fruit development, but supporting genetic evidence lacking. Here, we report that ABA promotes strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) ripening. Using newly established Tobacco rattle virus-induced gene silencing technique fruit, the expression of 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (FaNCED1), which is key biosynthesis, was down-regulated, resulting significant decrease levels and uncolored fruits. Interestingly, similar...
The ompF and ompC genes of Escherichia coli are reciprocally regulated by a single transcription factor, phosphorylated OmpR (OmpR-P), depending upon medium osmolarity. This regulation involves activation its repression with concomitant ompC. occurs through OmpR-P binding to four (F1, F2, F3, F4) three (C1, C2, C3) sites located upstream the promoters, respectively, novel mechanism. Here we show that there is distinct hierarchy within F1, F3 as well C1, C3 sites. Each these contains two...
Although brassinosteroid (BR) has been suggested to play a role in strawberry fruit ripening, the defined function of this hormone remains unclear fruit. Here, BR content and receptor gene FaBRI1 expression were analysed during ‘Akihime’ development. We found that levels increased later developmental stages, mRNA rapidly from white initial red suggesting is associated with ripening. This was further confirmed by exogenous application its inhibitor brassinazole (BZ) big-green fruit, which...
Although a great deal of progress has been made toward understanding the role abscisic acid (ABA) in fruit ripening, many components ABA signalling pathway remain to be elucidated. Here, strawberry gene homologous Arabidopsis ABI1, named FaABI1, was isolated and characterized. The 1641bp cDNA includes an intact open reading frame that encodes deduced protein 546 amino acids, which putative conserved domains were determined by homology analysis. Transcriptional analysis showed levels FaABI1...
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria are involved in altering secondary root (SR) formation, but hitherto there has been no distinction between the different types of SRs upon induction soil biota, and genetic pathways involved. By using plate systems, we studied effects Pseudomonas strains CM11 WCS417 on plant performance with a focus development. Through combination cellular, molecular analyses, investigated type induced inoculation associated specific SR types. was shown to affect...
Esophageal gland secretions from nematodes are believed to include effectors that play important roles in plant parasitism. We have identified a novel gene family encoding secreted proteins specifically expressed the dorsal esophageal of Globodera rostochiensis early parasitic cycle, and which contain B30.2/SPRY domain. The secondary structure these proteins, named SPRY domain-containing (SPRYSEC), includes highly conserved regions folding into β-strands interspersed with loops varying...
The Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) is widely cultivated in China for nut production. This plant also plays an important ecological role afforestation and ecosystem services. To facilitate expand the use of C. mollissima breeding its genetic improvement, we report here whole-genome sequence mollissima.We produced a high-quality assembly genome using Pacific Biosciences single-molecule sequencing. final draft ∼785.53 Mb long, with contig N50 size 944 kb, further annotated 36,479...
Most histidine kinases are bifunctional enzymes having both kinase and phosphatase activities. The cytoplasmic domain of EnvZ, a transmembrane functioning as an osmosensor in Escherichia coli , consists two distinct functional subdomains: A [EnvZc(223–289)] B [EnvZc(290–450)]. NMR studies demonstrated that four-helix bundle serving dimerization phosphotransfer domain, functions the ATP-binding catalytic domain. Here we demonstrate by itself has activity vitro vivo . This is Mg 2+ dependent...
A new strategy has been designed to identify putative pathogenicity factors from the dorsal or subventral esophageal glands of potato cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis. Three independent criteria were used for selection. First, genes interest should predominantly be expressed in infective second-stage juveniles, and not, a far lesser extent, younger developmental stages. For this, gene expression profiles five different stages generated with cDNA-AFLP (amplified fragment length...
Boron is an essential micronutrient for plants. However, boron also toxic to cells at high concentrations, although the mechanism of this stress not known. This study aimed evaluate effect on Malus domestica pollen tube growth and its possible regulatory pathway. Our results show that a concentration inhibited germination led morphological abnormality tubes. Fluorescent labeling coupled with scanning ion-selective electrode technique detected could decrease [Ca2+]c induce disappearance...
Chestnut (Castanea mollissima) is a deciduous tree species with major economic and ecological value that widely used in the study of floral development woody plants due its monoecious out-of-proportion characteristics. Squamosa promoter-binding protein-like (SPL) plant-specific transcription factor plays an important role development. In this study, total 18 SPL genes were identified chestnut genome, which 10 have complementary regions CmmiR156. An analysis phylogenetic squamosa protein...
Chinese chestnut is an important nut tree around the world. Although types of resources are abundant, resource utilization and protection accessions still very limited. Here, we fingerprinted determined genetic relationships core collections chestnuts using 18 fluorescently labeled SSR markers generated from 146 accessions. Our analyses showed that these tested highly polymorphic, with average allele number (Na) polymorphic information content (PIC) 8.100 0.622 per locus, respectively. Using...
Protein S-acyl transferases (PATs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze protein S-acylation, post-translational lipid modification involved in membrane targeting, trafficking, stability, and protein–protein interaction. S-acylation plays important roles plant growth, development, stress responses. Here, we report the genome-wide analysis PAT genes woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca), model for studying economically Rosaceae family. In total, 21 ‘Asp-His-His-Cys’ Cys Rich Domain...
Background: Thyroid-related eye disease (TED) is the most prevalent orbital disorder of autoimmune origin, yet research on its mitochondrial energy metabolism-related genes remains limited with no definitive biomarkers or therapeutic targets identified.Methods: We downloaded datasets from GEO database, forming TED and Control groups. Mitochondrial (MEMRGs) were sourced GeneCards. conducted differential gene expression analysis, ontology (GO) Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes (KEGG)...
Abstract Sorghum ( bicolor ) is an important food and feed crop. Root-lesion nematodes Pratylenchus spp.) are a group of pathogenic that cause severe economic losses in various cash crops. This study identified diseased sorghum plants with stunted growth brown, rotting roots fields Shanxi Province, China. A species root-lesion nematode was isolated by modified Baermann funnel method named the GL-1 population. Afterward, population as P. coffeae through combination morphological, rDNA-ITS...
Certain tree species can reach ages of centuries, whereas lifespan like apple are markedly shorter. The latter is caused by negative plant-soil feedback that results in microbiome changes. We hypothesized with a long will be able to avoid such and their root-associated microbiomes similar trees different ages. To test this, we used Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) trees, ranging from 8 830 years old Ming orchard at the Great Wall. Their were analysed using meta-amplicon sequencing...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive disease of renal tubulopathy, primarily characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with significant hypomagnesemia, low urinary calcium, secondary aldosteronism and normal blood pressure. Both hypokalemia hypomagnesemia were reported to cause impaired glucose tolerance and/or insulin resistance, but it unclear whether resistance are common in GS patients....
WRKY proteins play important regulatory roles in plant developmental processes such as senescence, trichome initiation and embryo morphogenesis. In strawberry, only FaWRKY1 (Fragaria × ananassa) has been characterized, leaving numerous genes to be identified their function characterized. The publication of the draft genome sequence strawberry allowed us conduct a genome-wide search for Fragaria vesca, compare with homologs model plants. Fifty-nine FvWRKY were annotated from F. vesca genome....
