FLOWERING LOCUS T ( FT ) is a conserved promoter of flowering that acts downstream various regulatory pathways, including one mediates photoperiodic induction through CONSTANS CO ), and expressed in the vasculature cotyledons leaves. A bZIP transcription factor, FD, preferentially shoot apex required for to promote flowering. FD are interdependent partners protein interaction act at floral transition initiate development transcriptional activation meristem identity gene, APETALA1 AP1 ). may...
Plant grafting is conducted for fruit and vegetable propagation, whereby a piece of living tissue attached to another through cell-cell adhesion. However, graft compatibility limits combinations closely related species, the mechanism poorly understood. We found that Nicotiana capable adhesion with diverse range angiosperms. Comparative transcriptomic analyses on indicated subclade β-1,4-glucanases secreted into extracellular region facilitates cell wall reconstruction near interface....
Day length perceived by a leaf is major environmental factor that controls the timing of flowering. It has been believed mobile, long-distance signal called florigen produced in under inductive day conditions, and transported to shoot apex where it triggers floral morphogenesis. Grafting experiments have shown transmissible from donor plant subjected an uninduced recipient plant. However, nature long remained elusive. Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) expressed cotyledons leaves response...
Phloem is a conductive tissue that allocates nutrients from mature source leaves to sinks such as young developing tissues. also delivers proteins and RNA species, small RNAs mRNAs. Intensive studies on plant systemic signaling revealed the essential roles of species. However, many their functions are still largely unknown, with transported mRNAs being particularly poorly understood. A major difficulty absence an accurate comprehensive list mobile transcripts. In this study, we used...
Abstract In plants, the phloem is component of vascular system that delivers nutrients and transmits signals from mature leaves to developing sink tissues. Recent studies have identified proteins, mRNA, small RNA within sap several plant species. It now considerable interest elucidate biological functions these potential long‐distance signal agents, further our understanding how plants coordinate their developmental programs at whole‐plant level. this study, we developed a strategy for...
Nicotiana benthamiana is widely used as a model plant for dicotyledonous angiosperms. In fact, the strains in research are highly susceptible to wide range of viruses. Accordingly, these subject pathology and plant-microbe interactions. terms plant-plant interactions, N. one plants that exhibit grafting affinity with from different families. Thus, good biology has been genome sequencing analyses many years. However, complex allopolyploid genome, its previous reference fragmented into 141,000...
Abstract Bacteria and fungi form complex communities (microbiomes) in above- below-ground organs of plants, contributing to hosts’ growth survival various ways. Recent studies have suggested that host plant genotypes control, at least partly, plant-associated microbiome compositions. However, we still limited knowledge how structures are determined in/on grafted crop whose above-ground (scion) (rootstock) different with each other. By using eight varieties tomato examined rootstock could...
Tissue adhesion between plant species occurs both naturally and artificially. Parasitic plants establish intimate relationship with host by adhering tissues at roots or stems. Plant grafting, on the other hand, is a widely used technique in agriculture to adhere of two Here we found that model Orobanchaceae parasitic Phtheirospermum japonicum can be grafted interfamily species. To understand molecular basis tissue distant species, conducted comparative transcriptome analyses infection...
A new plant ovule enlargement triggered by pollen tube contents, accompanied seed coat initiation without fertilization.
Grafting techniques have been applied in studies of systemic, long-distance signaling several model plants. Seedling grafting Arabidopsis, known as micrografting, enables investigation the molecular mechanisms systemic between shoots and roots. However, conventional micrografting requires a high level skill, limiting its use. Thus, an easier user-friendly method is needed. Here, we developed silicone microscaled device, chip, to obviate need for training generate less stressed more uniformly...
Grafting, an ancient horticultural cultivation technique, is essential for commercial apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) production. M. prunifolia 'Fupingqiuzi' used as a common rootstock due to its known tolerances abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the genetic origin evolutionary history of are largely unknown, molecular bases underlying innate stress tolerance characteristics ability graft-transmit scion. Here, we present high-quality chromosome-scale genome sequence (2n = 2x 34)...
Abstract In grafting, an agricultural technique for propagating flower species and fruit trees, two plants are combined to exploit their beneficial characteristics, such as rootstock disease tolerance vigor. Grafting incompatibility has been observed, however, between distantly related plant combinations, which limits the availability of resources. A high grafting capacity found in Nicotiana, belonging Solanaceae, but not Ipomoea nil, a Convolvulaceae species. Here, we that Petunia hybrida,...
Abstract VASCULAR-RELATED NAC-DOMAIN7 (VND7) is a transcription factor gene that plays critical role in xylem differentiation. The ectopic expression of VND7 induces the formation secondary cell walls with spiral patterns multiple plant types. In present study, we have identified four homologs Nicotiana benthamiana and assigned them names NbVND7-1 to NbVND7-4. Particularly, NbVND7-2 were highly expressed during N. Arabidopsis thaliana (Nb/At) interfamily grafting. Analysis promoter GUS...
Grafting is a traditional horticultural practice that enhances plant resilience against biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the influence of specific tissues, such as rootstock cotyledons, on graft union formation not well understood. This study investigates impact cotyledon removal healing in watermelon its underlying mechanisms. Our results indicate grafting with cotyledons (+C) consistently resulted higher survival rates better growth outcomes compared to without (-C). effect was more...
Seed formation is essential for plant propagation and food production. We present a novel mechanism the regulation of seed size by newly identified "gate" at chalazal end ovule regulating nutrient transport into developing seed. This gate blocked callose deposition in unfertilized mature ovules (closed state), but removed after central cell fertilization, allowing (open state). However, if fertilization fails, persists, preventing transportation nutrients from funiculus. A mutant an...
Grafting is an agricultural technique that joins tissues from different plants to obtain useful rootstock traits. However, cellular processes involved in joint tissue repair remain poorly understood. We analyzed Nicotiana benthamiana (Nb) and Arabidopsis thaliana (At) interfamily heterografting as a high-stress model At homografting low-stress model. Transmission electron micrographs reveal the formation of autophagic structures cells near graft boundary over long period Nb/At grafts short...
Plant grafting is a maneuver humans learned from nature and has been practiced since ancient times. The technique long applied for efficient propagation as well the modification of traits interest, such stress tolerance, tree size, fruit quality. Since can enhance environmental tolerance disease resistance plant, its techniques are now used not only in species but also among vegetables. Despite wide advantages grafting, however, potential cause behind compatible graft establishment...
Plants are exposed to a variety of environmental stress, and starvation inorganic phosphorus can be major constraint in crop production. In plants, response phosphate deficiency soil, miR399, type microRNA (miRNA), is up-regulated. By detecting the early diagnosis stress plants accomplished. However, general miRNA detection methods require complicated experimental manipulations. Therefore, simple rapid required for plant nutritional diagnosis. For microfluidic technology suitable...
