High salinity is one of the most serious threats to crop production. To understand molecular basis plant responses salt stress better, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and microarray approaches were combined identify potential important or novel genes involved in early stage tomato severe stress. First, SSH libraries constructed for root tissue two cultivated (Solanum lycopersicum) genotypes: LA2711, a salt-tolerant cultivar, ZS-5, salt-sensitive compare treatment non-treatment...
Abstract Background Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades play pivotal roles in mediating biotic and abiotic stress responses. In plants, MAPKs are classified into four major groups (A-D) according to their sequence homology conserved phosphorylation motifs. Members of group A B have been extensively characterized, but little information on the D has reported. Results this study, we isolated characterised GhMPK16 , first MAPK gene found cotton. Southern blot analysis suggests is...
Abstract The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a vital role in plant growth and development. function of ABA is mediated by group newly discovered receptors, named PYRABACTIN RESISTANCE 1/PYR‐LIKE/REGULATORY COMPONENTS OF RECEPTORs (PYR1/PYLs/RCARs). Here, we report that an Arabidopsis thaliana F‐box protein RCAR3 INTERACTING F‐BOX PROTEIN 1 (RIFP1) interacts with receptor (RCAR3) SCF E3 ligase complex subunits SKP1‐LIKE PROTEINs (ASKs) vitro vivo . rifp1 mutant plants displayed...
Drought and heat stress are major causes of lost plant crop yield. In the future, high levels CO2, in combination other abiotic factors, will become a novel source stress. Little is known mechanisms involved acclimation responses plants to this though it has been demonstrated that shock transcription factors (Hsfs) response various stresses. study, we performed genome-wide identification systematic analysis genes Hsf gene family Brassica napus. A total 64 encoding proteins were identified...
The function of abscisic acid (ABA) is mediated by its receptors termed RCARs/PYR1/PYLs. Modulation ABA signaling vital for plant growth and development. RCAR-PP2C-SnRK2 regulatory modules have been defined as the core components in signaling. However, it still not clear whether how could be modified at initial post-translational stage to fine-tune transduction pathway. Here we identify characterize putative receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase (RLCK) Arabidopsis named CARK1, which interacts...
Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in diverse developmental processes, nutrient homeostasis and responses to biotic abiotic stresses. The biogenesis regulatory functions of miRNAs have been intensively studied model angiosperms, such as Arabidopsis thaliana , Oryza sativa Populus trichocarpa . However, global identification Pinus densata has not reported previous research. Results Here, we report the 34 conserved belonging 25 miRNA families from a P. mRNA transcriptome...
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates plant growth, the developmental process, and abiotic stresses. ABA signaling is induced in response to mediate acclimation environmental challenges, including high salinity drought. ABA-binding receptors (RCAR/PYR1/PYL), composing of 14 members, are core components ABA-signaling pathway. Here, we observed that three subfamilies within RCARs showed different expression patterns at basal exogenous levels. Subsequently, generated transgenic plants...
Polyphyllin I (PPI), a bioactive constituent extracted from the rhizomes of Paris polyphylla, is cytotoxic to several cancer types. This study was designed explore whether PPI prevents non-small-cell lung (NSCLC) growth and investigate molecular mechanism. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been implicated in activation autophagy distinct tissues. In cultured human NSCLC cell lines, induces by activating AMPK then inhibiting mTOR signaling concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore,...
The plant hormone auxin controls many aspects of development. Membrane trafficking processes, such as secretion, endocytosis and recycling, regulate the polar localization transporters in order to establish an concentration gradient. Here, we investigate function Arabidopsis thaliana R-SNAREs VESICLE-ASSOCIATED MEMBRANE PROTEIN 721 (VAMP721) VAMP722 post-Golgi required for proper distribution seedling growth. We show that multiple growth phenotypes, cotyledon development, vein patterning...
Iron (Fe) plays an important role in the growth and development of plants. The effects different Fe concentrations, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), cobalt chloride (Co2+) treatments on plant growth, quality adaptive response to deficiency stress were investigated flowering Chinese cabbage. results revealed that inhibited growth. contents vitamin C, soluble protein, sugar leaves stalks significantly reduced under stress, while content cellulose nitrate was increased. clearly net...
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades play important roles in mediating pathogen responses and reactive oxygen species signaling. In plants, MAPKs are classified into four major groups (A-D). Previous studies have mainly focused on A B, but little is known about group C. this study, we functionally characterized a stress-responsive C MAPK gene (GhMPK2) from cotton. Northern blot analysis indicated that GhMPK2 was induced not only by signaling molecules, such as ethylene methyl...
Abscisic acid (ABA) signaling plays important roles in plant growth, development and adaptation to various stresses. RCAR1/PYL9 has been known as a cytoplasm nuclear ABA receptor Arabidopsis. To obtain further insight into the regulatory mechanism of RCAR1/PYL9, yeast two-hybrid approach was performed screen for RCAR1/PYL9-interacting proteins an R2R3-type MYB transcription factor, AtMYB44, identified. The interaction between AtMYB44 confirmed by glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down...
Abstract Background Brassica napus provides approximately 13–16% of global vegetable oil for human consumption and biodiesel production. Plant height (PH) is a key trait that affects plant architecture, seed yield harvest index. However, the genetic mechanism PH in B. poorly understood. Results A dwarf mutant df59 was isolated from large-scale screening an ethyl methanesulphonate-mutagenized rapeseed variety Ningyou 18. analysis showed dwarfism phenotype controlled by one semi-dominant gene,...
Abstract High temperature is the most limiting factor in growth of cool-season turfgrass. To cope with high-temperature stress, grass often adopt a memory response by remembering one past recurring stress and preparing quicker more robust reaction to next exposure. However, little known about how genes regulate thermomemory Here, we characterized transcriptional gene, Fa-heat shock protein 17.8 Class II (FaHSP17.8-CII) turfgrass species, tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). The...
Salt stress from soil or irrigation water limits plant growth. A T-DNA insertion mutant in C24, named athspr (Arabidopsis thaliana heat shock protein-related), showed several phenotypes, including reduced organ size and enhanced sensitivity to environmental cues. The is severely impaired under salinity levels at which wild-type (WT) plants grow normally. AtHSPR encodes a nuclear-localized protein with ATPase activity, its expression was by high abscisic acid (ABA). Overexpression (OE) of...
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in regulating plant growth, development, and adaption to various environmental stresses. Regulatory components of ABA receptors (RCARs, also known as PYR/PYLs) sense initiate signalling through inhibiting the activities protein phosphatase 2C Arabidopsis. However, way which are regulated is not well known. A DWD AtRAE1 (for RNA export factor 1 Arabidopsis), may act a substrate receptor CUL4-DDB1 E3 ligase, interacting partner...
Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a vital role in responses to abiotic stresses that allow plants cope with environmental challenges. In this study, we analyzed ABA receptors of subfamily III as the potential targets Cytosolic Receptor Kinase 1 (CARK1). We previously found CARK1 phosphorylated member RCAR11 at distinct threonine residue (T78). Our study now shows physical interaction RCAR12/13/14 vitro and vivo. The catalytically inactive form CARK1-N204A did not interact receptors. Phosphorylation...
