Breeding of stress-tolerant plants is able to improve crop yield under stress conditions, whereas CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing has been shown be an efficient way for molecular breeding agronomic traits including tolerance in crops. However, genes can targeted enhance abiotic remained largely unidentified.

Plant peptide hormones play an important role in regulating plant developmental programs via cell-to-cell communication a non-cell autonomous manner. To characterize the biological relevance of C-TERMINALLY ENCODED PEPTIDE (CEP) genes rice, we performed genome-wide search against public databases using bioinformatics approach and identified six additional CEP members. Expression analysis revealed spatial-temporal pattern OsCEP6.1 gene different tissues at stages panicle. Interestingly,...
Phosphate availability is becoming a limiting environmental factor that inhibits plant growth and development. Here, we demonstrated mutation of the histone acetyltransferase GCN5 impaired phosphate starvation responses (PSRs) in Arabidopsis. Transcriptome analysis revealed 888 GCN5-regulated candidate genes were potentially involved responding to starvation. ChIP assay indicated four genes, including long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) At4, are direct targets PSR regulation. In addition,...
Cuticular wax is a major component of the surface cuticle plants, which performs crucial functions in optimizing plant growth. Histone acetylation regulates gene expression diverse biological processes, but its role cuticular synthesis not well understood. In this study, we observed that mutations Arabidopsis thaliana histone acetyltransferase GENERAL CONTROL NON-REPRESSED PROTEIN5 (GCN5) impaired accumulation stem wax. Three target genes GCN5, ECERIFERUM3 (CER3), CER26, and CER1-LIKE1...
Both seed size and abiotic stress tolerance are important agronomic traits in crops. In Arabidopsis, two closely related transcription repressors DPA4 (Development-Related PcG Target the APEX4)/NGAL3 SOD7 (Suppressor of da1-1)/NGAL2 (NGATHA-like protein) function redundantly to regulate size, which was increased dpa4 sod7 double mutants. Whereas ABA-induced (AITRs) involved regulation ABA signaling tolerance, Arabidopsis aitr2 aitr5 aitr6 (aitr256) triple mutant showed enhanced drought salt....
Death anxiety in physicians is considered to be a possible factor affecting the quality of palliative care. As reserve force future medical careers, level death among clinical freshmen and its impact mechanism deserves attention. Previous studies have indicated that personality traits self-efficacy may factors influencing anxiety. However, there limited research on current state freshmen, health personality, coping The objectives this study were investigate levels explore whether affected by...
Seed oils are important natural resources used in the processing and preparation of food. Histone modifications represent key epigenetic mechanisms that regulate gene expression, plant growth development. However, histone modification events during fatty acid (FA) biosynthesis not well understood. Here, we demonstrate a mutation acetyltransferase GCN5 can decrease ratio α-linolenic (ALA) to linoleic (LA) seed oil. Using RNA-Seq ChIP assays, identified FAD3, LACS2, LPP3 PLAIIIβ as targets...
Trichome formation in Arabidopsis is regulated by several key regulators, and plants hormones such as gibberellin, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid cytokinins have been shown to regulate trichome affecting the transcription or activities of regulators. We report here identification two abscisic (ABA) responsive genes, SMALLER TRICHOMES WITH VARIABLE BRANCHES (SVB) SVB2 regulator genes Arabidopsis. The expression levels SVB were increased response ABA treatment, their reduced biosynthesis mutant...
Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates plant responses to abiotic stresses via regulating the expression of downstream genes, yet functions many ABA responsive genes remain unknown. We report here characterization MYB71, a R2R3 MYB transcription factor in Arabidopsis. RT-PCR results show that level MYB71 was increased response treatment. Arabidopsis protoplasts transfection specifically localized nucleus and it activated Gal4:GUS reporter gene when recruited Gal4 promoter by fused DNA binding domain...
Abstract Background Analysis of the relationship between chromosomal structural variation (synteny breaks) and 3D-chromatin architectural changes among closely related species has potential to reveal causes correlates change chromatin remodeling. Of note, contrary extensive studies in animal species, pace pattern following speciation plants remain unexplored; moreover, there is little exploration occurrence synteny breaks context multiple genome topological hierarchies within same model...
To better understand the underlying molecular basis of leaf development in maize, a reference map nuclear proteins basal region seedling was established using combination 2DE and MALDI-TOF-MS. In total, 441 reproducible protein spots proteome maize were detected with silver staining pH range 3-10, among which 203 corresponding to 163 different identified. As expected, implicated RNA protein-associated functions overrepresented proteome. Remarkably, high percentage (10%) identified be...
ABSTRACT EAR motif-containing proteins are able to repress gene expression, therefore play important roles in regulating plants growth and development, plant response environmental stimuli, as well hormone signal transduction. ABA is a that regulates abiotic stress tolerance via signaling the PYR1/PYLs/RCARs receptors, PP2Cs phosphatases, SnRK2s protein kinases activates ABF/AREB/ABI5-type bZIP transcription factors, resulting activation/repression of genes. However, functions many genes...

The Triticum/Aegilops complex includes hybrid species resulting from homoploid speciation and allopolyploid speciation. Sequential allotetra- allohexaploidy events presumably result in two challenges for the hybrids, which involve 1) cytonuclear stoichiometric disruptions caused by combining diverged nuclear genomes with maternal inheritance of cytoplasmic organellar donor; 2) incompatibility chimeric protein complexes subunits genomes. Here, we describe coevolution rbcS genes encoding small...
