Members of the chalcone synthase (CHS) family participate in synthesis a series secondary metabolites plants, fungi and bacteria. The play important roles protecting land plants against various environmental stresses during evolutionary process. Our research was conducted on comprehensive investigation CHS genes maize (Zea mays L.), including their phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, chromosomal locations expression analysis. Fourteen (ZmCHS01–14) were identified genome maize,...
Lignin is a major cell wall component of vascular plants that provides mechanical strength and hydrophobicity to vessels. However, the presence lignin limits effective use crop straw in many agroindustrial processes. Here, we generated transgenic maize which expression biosynthetic gene encoding CCoAOMT , key enzyme involved biosynthesis pathway was downregulated by RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi led significantly this compared with WT plants. These exhibited 22.4% decrease Klason content...
Summary Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42 is a type of plant growth‐promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) which activates induced systemic resistance (ISR) in Arabidopsis . Blocking the synthesis cyclic lipopeptides and 2,3‐butanediol by FZB42, have been demonstrated to be involved priming ISR, results abolishment defence responses. To further clarify ISR activated PGPRs at microRNA (miRNA) level, small RNA (sRNA) libraries from leaves after root irrigation with FZB42Δ sfp Δ alsS control were...
Flowering time (heading date) and panicle branch number are important agronomic traits that determine yield in rice (Oryza sativa). The activation of flowering requires histone methylation, but the roles trimethylation Lys 4 3 (H3K4me3) modulating heading date development unclear. Here, we showed COMPASS-like complex promotes branching. sativa) WD40 protein OsWDR5a interacts with TRITHORAX-like OsTrx1/SET domain group 723 (SDG723) to form core components complex. Plants which or OsTrx1...
Abstract Purpose To screen endophytic Bacillus producing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with antifungal activity, and to explore their biocontrol properties toward the growth pathogenicity of Curvularia lunata . Methods Two-sealed-base-plate assays were used estimate activities strains against C. Conjoint analysis solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry antagonistic experiments identify VOCs responsible for activity. Effects individual synthetic analyzed along...
Nucleotide‐binding site (NBS) disease resistance genes play an integral role in defending plants from a range of pathogens and insect pests. Consequently, number recent studies have focused on NBS‐encoding molecular breeding programmes for several important plant species. Little information, however, has been reported with emphasis systematic analysis comparison maize. In the present study, 109 were identified based complete genome sequence maize ( Zea mays cv. B73), classified as four...
Bacillus subtilis DZSY21 isolated from the leaves of Eucommia ulmoides oliv. was labelled by antibiotic marker and found to effectively colonize maize plant. Agar diffusion assays biocontrol effect experiments showed that strain its lipopeptides had antagonistic activity against Bipolaris maydis, as well high effects on southern corn leaf blight caused B. maydis. Using MALDI-TOF-MS analysis, we detected presence antimicrobial surfactin A, B fengycin in DZSY21. Signaling pathways mediated...
Waxy maize is a specialty that produces mainly amylopectin starch with special food or industrial values. The objective of this study was to overcome the limitations wx mutant allele acquisition and breeding efficiency by conversion parental lines from normal waxy maize. intended mutation activity achieved in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 machinery involving desired-target Wx locus ZC01 background, abbreviated as ZC01-DTMwx. Triple selection applied segregants obtain high genome background recovery...
The growth and development of maize (Zea mays L.) are significantly impeded by prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Heat stress transcription factors (HSFs) play crucial roles in enabling plants detect respond elevated However, the genetic mechanisms underlying responses HSFs heat remain unclear. Thus, we aimed investigate role ZmHSFA2B regulating tolerance maize. Here, report that has two splicing variants, ZmHSFA2B-I ZmHSFA2B-II. encodes full-length (ZmHSFA2B-I), whereas ZmHSFA2B-II a...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been confirmed to play important roles in plant defense response. However, the key maize miRNAs involved response against Bipolaris maydis are very limited. In this study, a novel member of miR169 family B. maydis, named zma-miR169s, was discovered and investigated. The expression levels pre-miR169s zma-miR169s were significantly repressed during infection. CRISPR/Cas9-induced mutant exhibited more resistance whereas overexpression enhanced susceptibility, supporting...
A large set of candidate nucleotide-binding site (NBS)-encoding genes related to disease resistance was identified in the sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) genome. These (R) were characterized based on their structural diversity, physical chromosomal location and phylogenetic relationships. Based N-terminal motifs leucine-rich repeats (LRR), 50 non-regular NBS 224 regular 274 genes. The classified into ten types: CNL, CN, CNLX, CNX, CNXL, CXN, NX, N, NL NLX. vast majority (97%) occurred gene...
Intronless genes are a feature of prokaryotes; however, they widespread and unequally distributed among eukaryotes represent an important resource to study the evolution gene architecture. Although many databases on exons introns exist, there is currently no cohesive database that collects intronless in plants into single database. In this study, we present Poaceae Genes Database (PIGD), user-friendly web interface explore information from different plants. Five species, Sorghum bicolor, Zea...
Abstract Background The pathogens responsible for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS; NIH category III) are not currently known. the present study utilized high‐throughput next‐generation sequencing to screen potential associated with III CP (CP III). Methods This included 33 patients and 30 healthy men, from which one sample each of urethral secretions expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) was collected. High‐throughput performed detect sequence variations relative...
