Abstract The basic/helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors and their homologs form a large family in plant animal genomes. They are known to play important roles the specification of tissue types animals. On other hand, few bHLH proteins have been studied functionally. Recent completion whole genome sequences model plants Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) rice (Oryza sativa) allows genome-wide analysis comparison flowering plants. We identified 167 genes genome, phylogenetic indicates...
Abstract In flowering plants, tapetum degeneration is proposed to be triggered by a programmed cell death (PCD) process during late stages of pollen development; the PCD thought provide cellular contents supporting wall formation and allow subsequent release. However, molecular basis regulating in plants remains poorly understood. We report isolation characterization rice (Oryza sativa) male sterile mutant retardation (tdr), which exhibits middle layer as well collapse microspores. The TDR...
The unique anatomical features of turtles have raised unanswered questions about the origin their body plan. We generated and analyzed draft genomes soft-shell turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) green sea (Chelonia mydas); our results indicated close relationship to bird-crocodilian lineage, from which they split ∼267.9-248.3 million years ago (Upper Permian Triassic). also found extensive expansion olfactory receptor genes in these turtles. Embryonic gene expression analysis identified an...
The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, the most destructive pest of rice, is a typical monophagous herbivore that feeds exclusively on rice sap, which migrates over long distances. Outbreaks it have re-occurred approximately every three years in Asia. It has also been used as model system for ecological studies and developing effective management. To better understand how sap-sucking arthropod adapted to its exclusive host selection provide insights improve control, we analyzed genomes...
The Arabidopsis thaliana ABORTED MICROSPORES (AMS) gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that is required for tapetal cell development and postmeiotic microspore formation. However, the regulatory role of AMS in anther pollen has not been fully defined. Here, we show by microarray analysis expression 549 anther-expressed genes was altered ams buds these are associated with function wall We demonstrate ability to bind vitro DNA containing 6-bp consensus motif,...
Jung-Hyun Lee, Jong Bhak and their colleagues report the whole-genome sequencing de novo assembly of a male minke whale genome, as well genome sequences three additional whales, fin whale, bottlenose dolphin finless porpoise. Their comparative analysis across cetaceans provides insights into adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle. The shift from terrestrial life by whales was substantial evolutionary event. Here we Our genomic identified expansion in lineage gene families associated with...
Abstract In higher plants, timely degradation of tapetal cells, the innermost sporophytic cells anther wall layer, is a prerequisite for development viable pollen grains. However, relatively little known about mechanism underlying programmed cell and degradation. Here, we report key regulator in monocot rice (Oryza sativa), PERSISTANT TAPETAL CELL1 (PTC1), which controls functional formation. The evolutionary significance PTC1 was revealed by partial genetic complementation homologous...
Mature pollen is covered by durable cell walls, principally composed of sporopollenin, an evolutionary conserved, highly resilient, but not fully characterized, biopolymer aliphatic and aromatic components. Here, we report that ABORTED MICROSPORES (AMS) acts as a master regulator coordinating wall development sporopollenin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana. Genome-wide coexpression analysis revealed 98 candidate genes with specific expression the anther 70 showed reduced ams. Among these...
Summary Rice inflorescence development determines yield and relies on the activity of axillary meristems (AMs); however, high‐resolution analysis its early is lacking. Here, we have used high‐throughput single‐cell RNA sequencing to profile 37 571 rice cells constructed a genome‐scale gene expression resource covering inflorescence‐to‐floret transition during reproductive development. The differentiation trajectories florets AMs were reconstructed, discrete cell types groups regulators in...
Abstract The polypeptide backbones and side chains of proteins are constantly moving due to thermal motion the kinetic energy atoms. B‐factors protein crystal structures reflect fluctuation atoms about their average positions provide important information dynamics. Computational approaches predict useful for analyzing dynamic properties with unknown structures. In this article, we utilize a novel support vector regression (SVR) approach B‐factor distribution (B‐factor profile) from its...
Abstract To understand the molecular mechanism regulating meristem development in monocot rice (Oryza sativa), we describe here isolation and characterization of three floral organ number4 (fon4) alleles cloning FON4 gene. The fon4 mutants showed abnormal enlargement embryonic vegetative shoot apical meristems (SAMs) inflorescence meristems. Likely due to enlarged SAMs, produced thick culms (stems) increased numbers both primary rachis branches organs. We identified using a map-based...
A novel method was introduced to predict protein subcellular locations from sequences. Using sequence data, this achieved a prediction accuracy higher than previous methods based on the amino acid composition. For three in prokaryotic organism, overall reached 89.1%. eukaryotic proteins, accuracies of 73.0% and 78.7% were attained within four location categories, respectively. These results demonstrate applicability relative simple possible improvement for location.
The Arabidopsis thaliana ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 (AS1) and AS2 genes are important for repressing class I KNOTTED1-like homeobox (KNOX) specifying leaf adaxial identity in development. RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRPs) critical posttranscriptional transcriptional gene silencing eukaryotes; however, very little is known about their functions plant Here, we show that the RDR6 (also called SDE1 SGS2) encodes a putative RdRP, together with AS1 AS2, regulates rdr6 single mutant plants displayed...
Abstract Poaceae, one of the largest flowering plant families in angiosperms, evolved distinct inflorescence and flower morphology diverging from eudicots other monocots. However, mechanism underlying specification grasses remains unclear. Here we show that floral zygomorphy along lemma-palea axis rice (Oryza sativa) is partially or indirectly determined by CYCLOIDEA (CYC)-like homolog RETARDED PALEA1 (REP1), which regulates palea identity development. The REP1 gene only expressed primordium...
Abstract Reptiles are the most morphologically and physiologically diverse tetrapods, have undergone 300 million years of adaptive evolution. Within reptilian geckos possess several interesting features, including ability to regenerate autotomized tails climb on smooth surfaces. Here we sequence genome Gekko japonicus (Schlegel’s Japanese Gecko) investigate genetic elements related its physiology. We obtain a draft G. 2.55 Gb annotated 22,487 genes. Comparative genomic analysis reveals...
