Metallothioneins (MTs) are short, cysteine-rich proteins for heavy metal homeostasis and detoxification; they bind a variety of metals also act as radical scavengers. Transcription mammalian MT genes is activated by load via the metal-responsive transcription factor 1 (MTF-1), an essential zinc finger protein whose elimination in mice leads to embryonic lethality due liver decay. Here we characterize Drosophila homolog vertebrate MTF-1 (dMTF-1), 791-amino-acid which most similar its...

Blue aleurone is a useful and interesting trait in common wheat that was derived from related species. Here, transcriptomes of blue white were compared for isolating 1 (Ba1) transferred Thinopyrum ponticum. In the genes involved anthocyanin biosynthesis, only basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, ThMYC4E, had higher transcript level phenotype, homologous to on chromosome 4 Triticum aestivum. ThMYC4E carried characteristic domains (bHLH-MYC_N, HLH ACT-like) bHLH clustered with...

Thousand-grain weight (TGW) is a very important yield trait of crops. In the present study, we performed quantitative locus (QTL) analysis TGW in doubled haploid population obtained from cross between bread wheat cultivar “Superb” and breeding line “M321” using 55-k single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assay. A genetic map containing 15,001 SNP markers spanning 2209.64 cM was constructed, 9 QTLs were mapped to chromosomes 1A, 2D, 4B, 4D, 5A, 5D, 6A, 6D based on analyses conducted...

Plant extracts are becoming a hot topic of research by animal husbandry practitioners following the implementation global policy to restrict antibiotic use in production. Mulberry leaf extract has received considerable attention as new plant extract. polysaccharides and flavonoids its main constituents, these substances possess immunoregulatory, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, anticoagulant properties. It is however less common them poultry Therefore, we investigated effects adding MLE diet...

Accumulating evidence highlights p38 as a crucial factor highly activated during the process of acute kidney injury (AKI), but application inhibitor in AKI is quite limited due to low efficiency and poor kidney-targeting ability. Herein, novel self-assembling peptide nanoparticle with specific p38-inhibiting activity constructed, which linked mitogen-activated protein kinase 3b (MKK3b), functional domain p38, cell-penetrating TAT sequence, ultimately into TAT-MKK3b nanoparticles (TMNPs)...

Metal-responsive transcription factor 1 (MTF-1) specifically binds to metal response elements (MREs) associated with a number of metal- and stress-responsive genes. Human MTF-1 contains cysteine-rich cluster, -632Cys-Gln-Cys-Gln-Cys-Ala-Cys638-, conserved from pufferfish humans far removed the MRE-binding zinc finger domain just C-terminal previously mapped serine/threonine-rich transcriptional activation domain. proteins containing two Cys-->Ala substitutions (C632A/C634A) or deletion in...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars possessing purple grain arethought to be more nutritious because of high anthocyanin contents in the pericarp. Comparative transcriptome analysis (cv Gy115) and white pericarps was carried out using next-generation sequencing technology. There were 23,642 unigenes significantly differentially expressed pericarps, including 9945 up-regulated 13,697 down-regulated. The mainly involved encoding components metabolic pathways, flavonoid biosynthesis pathway...

Abstract Background A synthetic doubled-haploid hexaploid wheat population, SynDH1, derived from the spontaneous chromosome doubling of triploid F 1 hybrid plants obtained cross hybrids Triticum turgidum ssp. durum line Langdon (LDN) and AS313, with Aegilops tauschii accession AS60, was previously constructed. SynDH1 is a tetraploidization-hexaploid doubled haploid (DH) population because it contains recombinant B chromosomes two different T. genotypes, while all D Ae. are homogenous across...

Selenium (Se), an essential micronutrient in both animals and humans, has various biological functions, its deficiency can lead to diseases. The most common method for increasing Se uptake is the consumption of Se-rich plants, which transform inorganic into organic forms. Wheat eaten daily by many people. content Aegilops tauschii (Ae. tauschii), one ancestors hexaploid wheat, generally higher than that wheat. In this study, two genotypes Ae. with contrasting Se-accumulating abilities were...
