Melatonin is a well-known agent that plays multiple roles in animals. Its possible function plants less clear. In the present study, we tested effect of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) on soybean growth and development. Coating seeds with significantly promoted as judged from leaf size plant height. This enhancement was also observed production their fatty acid content. increased pod number seed number, but not 100-seed weight. improved tolerance to salt drought stresses....
NAC transcription factors play important roles in plant growth, development and stress responses. Previously, we identified multiple genes soybean (Glycine max). Here, identify the of two genes, GmNAC11 GmNAC20, responses other processes. The were differentially induced by abiotic stresses hormones, their transcripts abundant roots cotyledons. Both encoded proteins that localized to nucleus bound core DNA sequence CGT[G/A]. In protoplast assay system, acts as a transcriptional activator,...
WRKY-type transcription factors are involved in multiple aspects of plant growth, development and stress response. WRKY genes have been found to be responsive abiotic stresses; however, their roles tolerance largely unknown especially crops. Here, we identified stress-responsive from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) studied functions tolerance. Forty-three putative TaWRKY were two stress-induced genes, TaWRKY2 TaWRKY19, further characterized. TaWRKY19 nuclear proteins, displayed specific binding...
Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) play essential roles in plant growth, development and responses to environmental stresses. A putative RLK gene, OsSIK1, with extracellular leucine-rich repeats was cloned characterized rice (Oryza sativa). OsSIK1 exhibits kinase activity the presence of Mn2+, domain has ability autophosphorylate phosphorylate myelin basic protein (MBP). promoter-GUS analysis revealed that is expressed mainly stem spikelet rice. The expression induced by salt, drought H2O2...
Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression by mediating silencing at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels in higher plants. miRNAs related target genes have been widely studied model plants such as Arabidopsis rice; however, the number of identified soybean ( Glycine max ) is limited, global identification miRNA targets has not reported previous research. Results In our study, a small RNA library degradome were constructed from developing seeds for deep...
Soybean (Glycine max) is an important crop for oil and protein resources worldwide. The molecular mechanism of the abiotic stress response in soybean largely unclear. We previously identified multiple stress-responsive WRKY genes from soybean. Here, we further characterized roles one these genes, GmWRKY27, tolerance using a transgenic hairy root assay. GmWRKY27 expression was increased by various stresses. Over-expression RNAi analysis demonstrated that improves salt drought roots....
Ethylene plays important roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. The ethylene signaling pathway has been studied extensively, mainly Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). However, the molecular mechanism of is largely unknown rice (Oryza sativa). Previously, we have isolated a set ethylene-response mutants. Here, characterized mutant maohuzi6 (mhz6). Through map-based cloning, found that MHZ6 encodes ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE3-LIKE1 (OsEIL1), homolog INSENSITIVE3 (EIN3), which...
Candida glabrata is a yeast pathogen of humans. We have established tissue culture model to analyze the interaction C. with macrophages. Transcript profiling ingested by macrophages reveals global changes in metabolism as well increased expression gene family (YPS genes) encoding extracellular glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked aspartyl proteases. Eight these YPS genes are found cluster that unique glabrata. Genetic analysis shows required for cell wall integrity, adherence mammalian cells,...
Abstract Ethylene regulates multiple aspects of plant growth and development in dicotyledonous plants; however, its roles monocotyledonous plants are poorly known. Here, we characterized a subfamily II ethylene receptor, ETHYLENE RESPONSE2 (ETR2), rice (Oryza sativa). The ETR2 receptor with diverged His kinase domain is Ser/Thr kinase, but not can phosphorylate receiver domain. Mutation the N box abolished activity ETR2. Overexpression transgenic reduced sensitivity delayed floral...
Abstract Receptor-like kinases play important roles in plant development and defense responses; however, their functions other processes remain unclear. Here, we report that OsSIK2, an S-domain receptor-like kinase from rice (Oryza sativa), is involved abiotic stress the senescence process. OsSIK2 a plasma membrane-localized protein with activity presence of Mn2+. expressed mainly leaf sheath can be induced by NaCl, drought, cold, dark, abscisic acid treatment. Transgenic plants...
Translocation of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) from nucleus could trigger inflammation. Extracellular HMGB1 up-regulates inflammatory response in sepsis as a late mediator. However, little was known about its role subarachnoid hemorrhage-inducible inflammation, especially the early stage. This study aims to identify whether translocation occurred after SAH and also clarify potential brain injury following SAH. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham groups at 2 h, 12 h...
Soybean (Glycine max) production is severely affected in unfavorable environments. Identification of the regulatory factors conferring stress tolerance would facilitate soybean breeding. In this study, through coexpression network analysis salt-tolerant wild soybeans, together with molecular and genetic approaches, we revealed a previously unidentified function class B heat shock factor, HSFB2b, salt response. We showed that HSFB2b improves promotion flavonoid accumulation by activating one...
Background Trihelix transcription factors play important roles in light-regulated responses and other developmental processes. However, their functions abiotic stress response are largely unclear. In this study, we identified two trihelix factor genes GmGT-2A GmGT-2B from soybean further characterized tolerance. Findings Both can be induced by various stresses, the encoded proteins were localized nuclear region. yeast assay, but not exhibits ability of transcriptional activation...
Ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) act synergistically or antagonistically to regulate plant growth development. ABA is derived from the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. Here, we analyzed interplay among ethylene, biogenesis, in rice (Oryza sativa) using ethylene response mutant mhz5, which displays a reduced roots but an enhanced coleoptiles. We found that MHZ5 encodes isomerase mutation mhz5 blocks biosynthesis, reduces accumulation, promotes production etiolated seedlings. can largely...
WRKY transcription factors play important roles in response to various abiotic stresses. Previous study have proved that soybean GmWRKY54 can improve stress tolerance transgenic Arabidopsis. Here, we generated plants and further investigated biological mechanisms of drought stress. We demonstrated expression GmWRKY54, driven by either a constitutive promoter (pCm) or drought-induced (RD29a), confers tolerance. is transcriptional activator affects large number stress-related genes as revealed...
