The family of aquaporins, also called water channels or major intrinsic proteins, is characterized by six transmembrane domains that together facilitate the transport and a variety low molecular weight solutes. They are found in all life, but show their highest diversity plants. Numerous studies identified aquaporins as important targets for improving plant performance under drought stress. phylogeny well established based on model species like Arabidopsis thaliana, which can be used...
The mobility of sugars between source and sink tissues in plants depends on sugar transport proteins. Studying the corresponding genes allows manipulation strength developing fruits, thereby improving fruit quality for human consumption. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is both a major horticultural crop model development fleshy fruits. In this article we provide comprehensive inventory tomato transporters, including SUCROSE TRANSPORTER family, SUGAR PROTEIN FACILITATOR POLYOL/MONOSACCHARIDE...
ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters are proteins that actively mediate the transport of a wide range molecules, such as organic acids, metal ions, phytohormones and secondary metabolites. Therefore, ABC must play indispensable roles in growth development tomato, including fruit development. Most have transmembrane domains (TMDs) belong to protein family, which includes not only but also soluble lacking TMDs. In this study, we performed genome-wide identification expression analysis genes...
Abstract Rapid and cost-effective genotyping of large mapping populations can be achieved by sequencing a reduced representation the genome every individual in given population, using that information to generate genetic markers. A customized genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) pipeline was developed genotype rice F2 population from cross Oryza sativa ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare African wild species O. longistaminata. While most GBS pipelines aim analyze mainly homozygous populations, we...
Water submergence is an environmental factor that limits plant growth and survival. Deepwater rice (Oryza sativa) adapts to by rapidly elongating its internodes thereby maintaining leaves above the water surface. We performed a comparative RNA sequencing transcriptome analysis of shoot base region, including basal nodes, internodes, apices seedlings at two developmental stages from varieties with contrasting deepwater responses. A transcriptomic comparison between cv C9285 nondeepwater...
Growth and development are tightly co-ordinated events in the lifetime of living organisms. In temperate bamboo plants, spring is season when environmental conditions suitable for emergence new shoots. Previous studies demonstrated that plants undergo an energy-consuming 'fast stem growth' phase. However, during initiation elongation poorly understood. To understand onset growth, we performed hormone transcriptome profiling tissue regions newly elongating shoots Moso Phyllostachys edulis....
Abstract The African wild rice species Oryza longistaminata has several beneficial traits compared to cultivated species, such as resistance biotic stresses, clonal propagation via rhizomes, and increased biomass production. To facilitate breeding efforts functional genomics studies, we de-novo assembled a high-quality, haploid-phased genome. Here, present our assembly, with total length of 351 Mb, which 92.2% was anchored onto 12 chromosomes. We detected 34,389 genes 38.1% the genome...
Summary Genetic biofortification requires knowledge on natural variation and the underlying mechanisms of micronutrient accumulation. We therefore studied diversity in grain concentrations spatial distribution barley ( Hordeum vulgare ), a genetically tractable model cereal an important crop with widespread cultivation. assembled diverse collection cultivars landraces analysed profiles genebank material after three independent cultivations. Lines contrasting zinc (Zn) accumulation were...
During their 6 month development, pear ( Pyrus communis ) fruits undergo drastic changes in morphology and chemical composition. To gain a better understanding of the metabolic pathways transport processes active during fruit we performed time-course analysis using mass spectrometry (MS)-based protein identification quantification flesh tissues. After pre-fractionation samples, 2,841 proteins were identified. A principal component (PCA) separated samples from seven developmental stages into...
SNORKEL1 (SK1) and SNORKEL2 (SK2) are ethylene responsive factors that regulate the internode elongation of deepwater rice in response to submergence. We previously reported normal cultivated lacks SK genes because Chromosome 12 region containing was deleted from its genome. However, no study has analyzed how genome defect occurred by comparing rice. In this study, comparison sequence end 12, which contains genes, between showed complicated changes such as insertions, deletions, inversions,...
The concentrations of both essential nutrients and chemically similar toxic analogues accumulated in cereal grains have a major impact on the nutritional quality safety crops. Naturally occurring genetic diversity can be exploited for breeding improved varieties through introgression lines (ILs). In this study, multi-element analysis was conducted vegetative leaves, senesced flag leaves mature set 54 ILs wild ancestral Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum cultivated variety cv. Scarlett. Plants...
Abstract The sustainability of maize cultivation would benefit tremendously from early sowing, but is hampered by low temperatures during development in temperate climates. We show that allelic variation within the gene encoding subunit M NADH-dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex (ndhm1) a European landrace affects several quantitative traits are relevant cold climates through NDH-mediated cyclic electron transport (CET) around photosystem I, process crucial for photosynthesis and...
Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is a temperate grass species with tree-like habitus and an unusual reproduction strategy. While flowering irregular infrequent, new clonal shoots are established from underground rhizome network during the spring season. In our previous study, we performed transcriptome analyses using shoot buds to understand initiation of stem elongation. Interestingly, expression profile in apical meristem (SAM) region young similar that other plants. Specifically, some...

A customized genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) pipeline was developed genotype rice F2 from cross Oryza sativa ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare African wild species longistaminata . While most GBS pipelines aim analyze mainly homozygous we attempted highly heterozygous...
