As an endophytic fungus of Sebacinales, Piriformospora indica promotes plant growth and resistance to abiotic stress, including drought. Colonization maize roots promoted the leaf size, root length number tap roots. Under drought seedlings profited from presence performed visibly better than uncolonized controls. To identify genes biological processes involved in promotion tolerance conferred by P. indica, transcriptome colonized was analyzed 0, 6 12 h after stress (20% polyethylene glycol...
The Teosinte-branched 1/Cycloidea/Proliferating (TCP) plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) have been demonstrated to play a fundamental role in plant development and organ patterning. However, it remains unknown whether or not the TCP gene family plays conferring tolerance drought stress maize, which is major constraint maize production. In this study, we identified 46 ZmTCP genes genome systematically analyzed their phylogenetic relationships synteny with rice, sorghum, Arabidopsis...
A full-length cDNA and genomic DNA of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene, which catalyzes the first step in flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, were isolated from Ginkgo biloba for time (designated as GbPAL, GenBank Accession No. EU071050). The sequences GbPAL same, other words, this gene is intronless. coding region was 2172 bp long, its deduced protein consists 724 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass 79.1 kDa pI 5.96. showed high identities to plant PALs. Southern hybridization analysis...
Waterlogging has increasingly become one of the major constraints to maize productivity in some production zones because it causes serious yield loss. Bulked segregant RNA-seq (BSR-seq) been widely applied profile candidate genes and map associated Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers many species. In this study, ten waterlogging sensitive eight tolerant inbred lines were selected from 60 with response determined preselected by International Maize Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT)...
Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) is a type of found in the Gram-negative aerobic bacterium that has been shown to contribute tolerance anaerobic stress multiple plant species. Maize (Zea mays L.) susceptible waterlogging, causing significant yield loss. In this study, we approached problem with introduction an exogenous VHb gene. We overexpressed gene Arabidopsis and maize under control CaMV35S promoter. After 14 days waterlogging treatment, transgenic plants remained green, while controls...
Abstract Chlorophylls function in photosynthesis, and are critical to plant developmental processes responses environmental stimuli. Chlorophyll b is synthesized from chlorophyll a by oxygenase (CAO). Here, we characterize yellow-green leaf (ygl) mutant identify the causal gene which encodes maize (ZmCAO1). A 51 bp Popin transposon insertion ZmCAO1 strongly disrupts its transcription. Low enzyme activity of leads reduced concentrations b, resulting phenotype ygl mutant. The net...
Stearoyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase (SAD) is a key enzyme that catalyses the conversion of stearoyl-acyl (ACP) to oleoyl-ACP, precursor for biosynthesis polyunsaturated fatty acids. ZmSAD1 (GenBank: KU949326) major QTL stearic acid content in maize seeds. To investigate biological function and application potential oil biosynthesis, we isolated full-length cDNA from B73 overexpressed it Arabidopsis maize.Under seed-specific overexpression Arabidopsis, ratio saturated unsaturated acids...
Background Worldwide cultivation of maize is often impacted negatively by drought stress. Hyperosmolality-gated calcium-permeable channels (OSCA) have been characterized as osmosensors in Arabidopsis . However, the involvement members OSCA ( ZmOSCA ) gene family response to stress unknown. It furthermore unclear which plays a major role genetic improvement tolerance Maize. Methods We predicted protein domain structure and transmembrane regions using NCBI Conserved Domain Database database...
Global maize cultivation is often adversely affected by drought stress. The CC-type glutaredoxin (GRX) genes form a plant-specific subfamily that regulate plant growth and respond to environmental stresses. However, how GRX (ZmGRXCC) stress remains unclear. We performed TBLASTN search identify ZmGRXCCs in the genome verified identified sequences using NCBI conservative domain database (CDD). further established phylogenetic tree Mega7 surveyed known cis-elements promoters of PlantCARE...
Inflorescence architecture and floral development in flowering plants are determined by genetic control of meristem identity, determinacy, maintenance. The ear inflorescence maize (Zea mays) initiates short branch meristems called spikelet pair meristems, thus unlike the tassel inflorescence, ears lack long branches. Maize growth-regulating factor (GRF)-interacting factor1 (GIF1) regulates branching size binding to Unbranched3. However, regulatory pathway gif1 is relatively unknown.In this...
Maize is an important crop used for food, feed, and fuel. Abiotic stress factor affecting maize yield. The EPF/EPFL gene family encodes class-specific secretory proteins that play role in the response to abiotic plants. In order explore utilize maize, members were systematically identified, their chromosomal localization, physicochemical properties, cis-acting element prediction promoters, phylogenetic tree construction, expression pattern analysis carried out using bioinformatics...
Heat-shock protein of 90 kDa (Hsp90) is a key molecular chaperone involved in folding the synthesized and controlling quality. Conformational dynamics coupled to ATPase activity N-terminal domain essential for Hsp90's function. However, relevant process still largely unknown plant Hsp90s, especially those required embryogenesis which inextricably tied up with human survival. Here, AtHsp90.6, member Hsp90 family Arabidopsis , was firstly identified as embryogenesis. Thus we modelled AtHsp90.6...
Abstract Submergence is a major constraint on rice production in South and Southeast Asia. In this study, we determined that gene of the Sub1A-binding protein family, SAB23, encodes plant homeodomain (PHD)-type transcription factor has novel function negatively regulating submergence tolerance rice. The T-DNA insertion mutant sab23 displayed reduced height, delayed seed maturation, lower percentage set. Importantly, also exhibited enhanced tolerance. addition, CRISPR/Cas9 knock out SAB23...
