MicroRNA319 (miR319) family is one of the conserved microRNA (miRNA) families among diverse plant species. It has been reported that miR319 regulates development in dicotyledons, but little known at present about its functions monocotyledons. In rice (Oryza sativa L.), MIR319 gene comprises two members, Osa-MIR319a and Osa-MIR319b. Here, we report an expression pattern analysis a functional characterization Osa-MIR319 genes rice. We found overexpressing Osa-MIR319b both resulted wider leaf...
Grain size is one of the essential determinants rice yield. Our previous studies revealed that ethylene plays an important role in grain-size control; however, precise mechanism remains to be determined. Here, we report response factor OsERF115 functions as a key downstream regulator for ethylene-mediated grain development. encodes AP2/ERF-type transcriptional specifically expressed young spikelets and developing caryopses. Overexpression significantly increases length, width, thickness...
Abstract Background The brown planthopper (BPH) is a kind of piercing-sucking insect specific to rice, with the damage tops list pathogens and insects in recent years. microRNAs (miRNAs) are pivotal regulators plant–environment interactions, while mechanism underlying their function against largely unknown. Results Here, we confirmed that OsmiR319, an ancient conserved miRNA, negatively regulated resistance BPHs, overexpression OsmiR319 susceptible BPH, suppression resistant BPH comparison...
Abscisic acid (ABA), the most important stress-induced phytohormone, regulates seed dormancy, germination, plant senescence, and abiotic stress response. ABA signaling is repressed by group A type 2C protein phosphatases (PP2Cs), then binds to its receptor of ACTIN RESISTANCE1 (PYR1), PYR1-LIKE (PYL), REGULATORY COMPONENTS OF RECEPTORS (RCAR) family, which, in turn, inhibits PP2Cs activates downstream signaling. The agonist/antagonist receptors have potential reveal machinery become lead...
Transcriptional repression in multicellular organisms orchestrates dynamic and precise gene expression changes that enable complex developmental patterns. Here, we present phenotypic molecular characterization of the maize (Zea mays) transcriptional corepressor RAMOSA1 ENHANCER LOCUS2 (REL2), a unique member highly conserved TOPLESS (TPL) family. Analysis single recessive mutations rel2 revealed an array vegetative reproductive phenotypes, many related to defects meristem initiation...
Autogamy in cultivated tomato varieties is a derived trait from wild type plants, which are mostly allogamous. However, environmental stresses can cause morphological defects flowers and hinder autogamy. Under elevated temperatures, plants usually exhibit the phenotype of stigma exsertion, with severely hindered self-pollination fruit setting, whereas inherent mechanism exsertion have been hitherto unknown. Numerous small RNAs (sRNAs) shown to play significant roles plant development stress...
Abstract Background GROWTH-REGULATING FACTORs (GRFs), a type of plant-specific transcription factors, play important roles in regulating plant growth and development. Although GRF gene family has been identified various species, genome-wide analysis this lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) not reported yet. Results Here we 15 genes performed comprehensive them, including chromosomal locations, structures, conserved motifs. Through phylogenic analysis, divided LsaGRFs into six groups....
Dof (DNA binding with one finger) proteins, a class of plant-specific transcription factors which contain conserved C2-C2-type zinc finger domain, are involved in many fundamental processes. In the Arabidopsis photoperiod response pathway, CDF (CYCLING DOF FACTOR) proteins have primary role as acting via transcriptional repression direct FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) activator CONSTANS (CO). Our previous study indicated that homologs, OsDOf12, was photoperiodic flowering. However, functional...
Dof (DNA binding with one finger) proteins, a class of plant-specific transcription factors, are involved in plant growth and developmental processes stress responses. However, their biological functions remain to be elucidated, especially rice (Oryza sativa L.). Previously, we have reported that OsDof12 can promote flowering under long-day conditions. Here, further investigated the other important agronomical traits transgenic plants overexpressing found could lead reduced height, erected...
Meristems are highly regulated structures ultimately responsible for the formation of branches, lateral organs, and stems, thus directly affect plant architecture crop yield. In meristems, genetic networks, hormones, signaling molecules tightly integrated to establish robust systems that can adapt growth continuous inputs from environment. Here we characterized needle1 ( ndl1 ), a temperature-sensitive maize mutant displays severe reproductive defects strong interactions with known mutants...
All aerial epidermal cells in land plants are covered by the cuticle, an extracellular hydrophobic layer that provides protection against abiotic and biotic stresses prevents organ fusion during development. Genetic morphological analysis of classic maize adherent1 (ad1) mutant was combined with genome-wide binding MYB transcription factor FUSED LEAVES1 (FDL1), coupled transcriptional profiling fdl1 mutants. We show AD1 encodes epidermally-expressed 3-KETOACYL-CoA SYNTHASE (KCS) belonging to...
Phytate as a root exudate is rare in plants it mainly serves P storage the seeds; however, As-hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata effectively secretes phytate and utilizes phytate-P, especially under As exposure. This study investigated effects of on its phytase exudation impacts and/or each other's uptake P. through two hydroponic experiments. Under 10-100 μM arsenate (AsV), by was increased 50-72% to 20.4-23.4 μmol h-1 g-1 28-104% 18.6-29.5 nmol plant-1, but they were undetected...
Abstract The formation of the plant body proceeds in a sequential postembryonic manner through action meristems. Tightly coordinated meristem regulation is required for development and reproductive success, eventually determining yield crop species. In maize (Zea mays), RAMOSA1 ENHANCER LOCUS2 (REL2) family transcriptional corepressors includes four members, REL2, RELK1 (REL2-LIKE1), RELK2, RELK3. screen rel2 enhancers, we identified shorter double mutants with enlarged ear inflorescence...
Supported metal catalysts are used in many industrial applications. Experiments have shown that drying may significantly impact the distribution within support. Therefore we need to a fundamental understanding of drying. In this work, theoretical model is established predict process, and predictions compared with experimental measurements nickel/alumina system. It found egg-shell profiles can be enhanced by increasing temperature or initial concentration if loading low. For high loadings,...
Flowering time is a key trait for regional adaption and seed production in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Forward reverse genetic studies have characterized number of flowering-time genes. However, co-expression analysis has not been used to identify the genes.We predicted G2-like family transcription factor, OsPHL3, by networks with photoperiodic flowering pathway OsPHL3 contains MYB-CC domain, was localized nucleus transcriptional activation potential. mainly expressed leaves exhibited circadian...
