Wurfbainia villosa is a well-known medicinal and edible plant that widely cultivated in the Lingnan region of China. Its dried fruits (called Fructus Amomi) are broadly used traditional Chinese medicine for curing gastrointestinal diseases rich volatile terpenoids. Here, we report high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly W. with total size approximately 2.80 Gb, 42 588 protein-coding genes, very high percentage repetitive sequences (87.23%). Genome analysis showed likely experienced...
Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) methane (BPF), as a bisphenolic compound, has toxic effects on organisms such endocrine disruption and immobilization of growth development. This study evaluated the effect concentrations BPF Chironomus tentans investigated impact exposure at various sub-lethal growth, development, reproductive capacity different instars C. tentans. The results demonstrated that 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0 mg·L−1 delayed pupation, inhibited development imaginal discs, caused an initial rise...
Bornyl acetate (BA) is known as a natural aromatic monoterpene ester with wide range of pharmacological and biological activities. Borneol acetyltransferase (BAT), catalyzing borneol acetyl-CoA to synthesize BA, alcohol acetyltransferase, which belongs the BAHD super acyltransferase family, however, BAT, responsible for biosynthesis has not yet been characterized. The seeds Wurfbainia villosa (homotypic synonym: Amomum villosum) are rich in BA. Here we identified 64 members gene family from...
Linarin (acacetin-7-O-rutinoside), isorhoifolin (apigenin-7-O-rutinoside), and diosmin (diosmetin-7-O-rutinoside) are chemically structurally similar flavone rutinoside (FR) compounds found in Chrysanthemum L. (Anthemideae, Asteraceae) plants. However, their biosynthetic pathways remain largely unknown. In this study, we cloned compared FRs genes encoding rhamnosyltransferases (RhaTs) among eight accessions of polyploids. We also biochemically characterized RhaTs plants Citrus (Citrus...
Plant mutants are important bio-resources for crop breeding and gene functional studies. Conventional methods generating mutant libraries by mutagenesis of seeds with physical or chemical agents low efficiency. Here, we developed a highly-efficient ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) system based on suspension-cultured cells, rice (Oryza sativa L.) as an example. We show that treatment tiny cell clusters 0.4% EMS 18-22 h followed differentiation regeneration produced high 29.4% independent lines...
The fruits of Amomum villosum and longiligulare are both used medicinally as Fructus Amomi the famous traditional Chinese medicine, however, medicinal quality A. is better than that . Volatile terpenoids in seeds, especially bornyl acetate borneol, components Amomi. volatile transcriptome developing seeds were compared this study. result revealed borneol contents higher Additionally, six terpenoid synthase genes ( AlTPS1–AlTPS6 ) screened from , AlTPS2 AlTPS3 found to share 98 83% identity...
In plant secondary metabolite biosynthesis, acylation is a diverse physiological process, with BAHD acyltransferases playing an essential role. Borneol acetyltransferase (BAT) alcohol acetyltransferase, which catalyzes borneol and acetyl-CoA to synthesize bornyl acetate (BA). However, the enzymes involved in biosynthesis of BA have so far only been characterized Wurfbainia villosa, studies on WvBATs conducted vitro, catalytic activity was relatively low. this research, three genes (WlBAT1,...
