Abstract Intrinsically fluorescent poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (IF‐PAMAM) are an emerging class of versatile nanoplatforms for in vitro tracking and bio‐imaging. However, limited tissue penetration their fluorescence interference due to auto‐fluorescence arising from biological tissues limit its application vivo. Herein, a green IF‐PAMAM (FGP) dendrimer is reported biocompatibility, circulation, biodistribution potential role traceable central nervous system (CNS)‐targeted delivery zebrafish...
Root growth control plays an important role in plant adaptation to drought stress, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of this remain largely elusive. Here, a root-specific nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) transcription PdNF-YB21 was isolated from Populus. The functional mechanism characterised by various morphological, physiological, molecular, biochemical and spectroscopy techniques. Overexpression poplar promoted root with highly lignified enlarged xylem vessels, resulting increased...
Water deficit is a serious environmental factor limiting the growth and productivity of plants worldwide. Improvement drought tolerance efficient water use are significant strategies to overcome this dilemma. In study, drought-responsive transcription factor, nuclear Y subunit B 7 (PdNF-YB7), induced by osmotic stress (PEG6000) abscisic acid, was isolated from fast-growing poplar clone NE-19 [Populus nigra × (Populus deltoides Populus nigra)]. Ectopic overexpression PdNF-YB7 (oxPdB7) in...
GATA transcription factors are involved in the regulation of diverse growth processes and environmental responses Arabidopsis rice. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive bioinformatic survey family woody perennial Populus trichocarpa. Thirty-nine genes were classified into four subfamilies based on gene structure phylogenetic relationships. Predicted cis-elements suggested potential roles poplar light, phytohormone, development, stress responses. A gene, PdGATA19/PdGNC (GATA...
Summary Drought is one of the primary abiotic stresses, seriously implicating plant growth and productivity. Stomata play a crucial role in regulating drought tolerance. However, molecular mechanism on stomatal movement‐mediated tolerance remains unclear. Using genetic, biochemical techniques, we identified that PdGNC directly activating promoter PdHXK1 by binding GATC element, hexokinase (HXK) synthesis key gene. Here, , member GATA transcription factor family, was greatly induced abscisic...
The ethylene signalling pathway is closely associated with complex environmental stresses. Previous studies have reported impact of high nitrate (HN) availability on biosynthesis and regulation transporter 2.1 (NRT2.1) expression. However, molecular interaction between NRT2.1 transcript levels the under deficiency still elusive. Here, we report a low (LN) treatment-induced rapid burst production regulated expression components CTR1, EIN3 EIL1 in wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0)...
The ability to create targeted mutations using clustered regularly inter-spaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) 9 in support of forest tree biotechnology is currently limited. CRISPR/Cas12a a novel CRISPR effector protein that not only broadens the CRISPR/Cas targeting range but also enables generation large-fragment deletions. In this study, system was evaluated for induction woody poplar ( Populus alba × glandulosa ). Three Cas12a nucleases, namely, AsCas12a...
Abstract Dietary fiber (DF) is one of the major classes nutrients for humans. It widely distributed in edible parts natural plants, with cell wall being main DF-containing structure. DF content varies significantly different plant species and organs, processing procedure can have a dramatic effect on composition plant-based foods. Given considerable nutritional value DF, deeper understanding food including its biosynthesis, fundamental to establishment daily intake reference also critical...
Abstract Due to the growing demand for transportation fuels and concerns about greenhouse gas emissions derived from use of fossil fuels, development alternative renewable resources, such as lignocellulosic biomass, is paramount importance. This compounded by fact that there are increasing pressures limitation on available arable land biomass production, therefore, how obtain more resources make full these key issues. Poplar ( Populus spp.) one fastest‐growing temperate trees in world a very...
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a type of non-coding small RNA with regulatory function at the posttranscriptional level in plant growth development and response to abiotic stress. Previous studies have not reported on miRNAs responses phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) genome-wide Populus euphratica, model tree for studying stress woody plants. Here we analyzed miRNA ABA P. euphratica utilizing high-throughput sequencing. To systematically perform analysis ABA-responsive nine sRNA libraries derived from...
Abstract Background Wood provides an important biomass resource for biofuel production around the world. The radial growth of tree stems is central to forestry and biofuels, but it challenging dissect genetically because a complex trait influenced by many genes. In this study, we adopted methods physiology, transcriptomics genetics investigate regulatory mechanisms wood development. Results Physiological comparison showed that two Populus genotypes presented different rates accumulation...
Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to cope with the fluctuating environmental availability of nitrogen. However, potential genes modulating plant responses nitrate are yet be characterized. Here, a poplar GATA transcription factor gene PdGNC (GATA nitrate-inducible carbon-metabolism-involved) was found strongly induced by low nitrate. Overexpressing in clone 717-1B4 (P. tremula × alba) significantly improved uptake, remobilization, and assimilation higher nitrogen use efficiency (NUE)...
Gene editing technology in woody plants has great potential for understanding gene function, and altering traits affecting economically ecologically important traits. applications species require a high genome efficiency due to the difficulty during transformation complexities resulting from redundancy. In this study, we used poplar 84K ( Populus alba × P. glandulosa ), which is model hybrid studying wood formation growth. We developed new CRISPR/Cas9 system edit multiple genes...
In order to systematically identify the critical genes involved in response low inorganic phosphorus (Pi) cotton, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analyses of root, stem, and leaf from Gossypium hirsutum seedlings grown under both Pi replete deplete conditions. total, 1679, 1611, 841 differentially expressed (DEGs) were observed roots, stems, leaves, respectively. Several Pi-starvation-induced homologous Arabidopsis identified, such as SPX, PHO1/2, PHF1, well several members PHT1...
Transmission corridors in distribution networks are especially more vulnerable to different factors both internal operation parameters and surrounding environmental conditions, pinpoint evaluations of the risk states accordance with these impacting can enhance their safety reliability. To this end, paper proposes an integrated assessment method, multi-dimensional fuzzy association (MDATFA), for networks. In model, transmission lines healthiness indices importance defined reflect...
