Significance A high-quality genome assembly of Camellia sinensis var. facilitates genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses the quality traits that make tea one world’s most-consumed beverages. The specific gene family members critical for biosynthesis key metabolites, monomeric galloylated catechins theanine, are indicated found to have evolved specifically these functions in plant lineage. Two whole-genome duplications, evolution two identified dated, but shown account less...
The Taming of the Silkworm Silkworms, Bombyx mori , represent one few domesticated insects, having been over 10,000 years ago. Xia et al. (p. 433 published online 27 August) sequenced 29 domestic and 11 wild silkworm lines identified genes that were most likely to be selected during domestication. These those enhance silk production, reproduction, growth. Furthermore, silkworms probably only once from a large progenitor population, rather than on multiple occasions, as has observed for other animals.
Banana cultivars (Musa ssp.) are diploid, triploid and tetraploid hybrids derived from Musa acuminata balbisiana. We presented a high-quality draft genome assembly of M. balbisiana with 430 Mb (87%) assembled into 11 chromosomes. identified that the recent divergence (A-genome) (B-genome) occurred after lineage-specific whole-genome duplication, B-genome may be more sensitive to fractionation process compared A-genome. Homoeologous exchanges frequently between A- B-subgenomes in...
Bamboo, with its inherently porous composition and exceptional renewability, stands as a symbolic embodiment of sustainability. The imperative to fortify the utilization bamboo-based materials becomes paramount for future developments. These not only find direct applications in construction furniture sectors but also exhibit versatility burgeoning domains such adsorption electrode components, thereby expanding their consequential influence. This comprehensive review meticulously delves into...
ABSTRACT A widespread grass carp hemorrhagic disease (GCHD) caused by reovirus (GCRV) has been known in China since 1983. virulent strain, HZ08, was isolated from diseased Zhejiang Province, China. We sequenced and analyzed the complete genome of strain HZ08 compared it with published GCRV sequences, contributing to evidence several genotypes
The leaves of tea plants (Camellia sinensis) are used to produce tea, which is one the most popular beverages consumed worldwide. nutritional value and health benefits mainly related three abundant characteristic metabolites; catechins, theanine caffeine. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) a powerful system for investigating correlations between genes, identifying modules among highly correlated relating phenotypic traits based on expression profiling. Currently, relatively...
Verticillium dahliae isolates are most virulent on the host from which they were originally isolated. Mechanisms underlying these dominant adaptations currently unknown. We sequenced genome of V. Vd991, is highly its original host, cotton, and performed comparisons with reference genomes JR2 (from tomato) VdLs.17 lettuce). Pathogenicity-related factor prediction, orthology multigene family classification, transcriptome analyses, phylogenetic pathogenicity experiments performed. The Vd991...
Verticillium dahliae is a broad host-range pathogen that causes vascular wilts in plants. Interactions between three hosts and specific V. genotypes result severe defoliation. The underlying mechanisms of defoliation are unresolved. Genome resequencing, gene deletion complementation, expression analysis, sequence divergence, defoliating phenotype identification, virulence quantification secondary metabolites were performed. Population genomics previously revealed G-LSR2 was horizontally...
Introduction: Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a new strategy for bone defect repair, but the difficulties in fabrication of scaffolds with personalized structures still limited their clinical applications. The rapid development three-dimensional (3D) printing endows it capable controlling porous high structural complexity and provides flexibility to meet specific needs repair. Methods: In this study, sodium alginate (SA)/gelatin (Gel) hydrogel doped different contents nano-attapulgite were...
Stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis) is a tropical forage and cover crop that possesses low phosphate (Pi) tolerance traits. However, the mechanisms underlying its to low-Pi stress, particularly role of root exudates, remain unclear. This study employed an integrated approach using physiological, biochemical, multi-omics, gene function analyses investigate stylo exudates in response stress. Widely targeted metabolomic analysis revealed eight organic acids one amino acid (L-cysteine) were...
Telomeres, at the ends of chromosomes, protect chromosomes from fusion and preserve genomic stability. However, molecular mechanisms underlying telomere attrition-induced genome instability remain to be understood. We systematically analyzed expression retrotransposons performed sequencing different cell tissue types with telomeres varying lengths due telomerase deficiency. found that critically short altered retrotransposon activity promote in mouse embryonic stem cells, as evidenced by...
In light of continual societal advancement and escalating energy consumption, the pursuit green, low-carbon, environmentally friendly technologies has become pivotal. Bamboo, renowned for its diverse advantages encompassing swift growth, ecological compatibility, robust regenerative properties, commendable mechanical characteristics, heightened hardness, abundant availability, discovered applications across various domains, including furniture construction. Nevertheless, natural bamboo...
Abstract Background Traditional Chinese medicine has used Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn (Apiaceae) for a long time. Various coumarins, including the significant constituents praeruptorin (A–E), are active in dried roots of P. praeruptorum. Previous transcriptomic and metabolomic studies have attempted to elucidate distribution biosynthetic network these medicinal-valuable compounds. However, lack high-quality reference genome impedes an in-depth understanding genetic traits thus development...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide with poor prognosis. Studies have showed that abnormal microRNA (miRNA) expression can affect CRC pathogenesis and development through targeting critical genes in cellular system. However, it unclear about which miRNAs play central roles CRC's how they interact transcription factors (TFs) to regulate cancer-related genes. To address this issue, we systematically explored major regulation motifs, namely feed-forward...
The wild silkworm Bombyx mandarina is widely believed to be an ancestor of the domesticated silkworm, mori. Silkworms are often used as a model for studying mechanism species domestication. Here, we performed transcriptome sequencing using Illumina HiSeq2000 platform. We produced 100,004,078 high-quality reads and assembled them into 50,773 contigs with N50 length 1764 bp mean 941.62 bp. A total 33,759 unigenes were identified, 12,805 annotated in Nr database, 8273 Pfam 9093 Swiss-Prot...
Tea is a globally consumed non-alcohol beverage with great economic importance. However, lack of the reference genome has largely hampered utilization precious tea plant genetic resources towards breeding. To address this issue, we previously generated high-quality using Illumina and PacBio sequencing technology, which produced total 2,124 Gb short 125 long read data, respectively. A hybrid strategy was employed to assemble that been publicly released. We here described data framework used...
Matricaria recutita (German chamomile) and Chamaemelum nobile (Roman belong to the botanical family Asteraceae. These two herbs are not only morphologically distinguishable, but their secondary metabolites - especially essential oils present in flowers also different, terpenoids. The aim of this project was preliminarily identify regulatory mechanisms terpenoid biosynthetic pathways that differ between German Roman chamomile by performing comparative transcriptomic metabolomic analyses.We...
The combination of three-dimensional (3D) printed scaffold materials and various cytokines can achieve the purpose tissue reconstruction more efficiently. In this study, we prepared platelet-rich plasma (PRP)/gelatin microspheres combined with 3D polycaprolactone/β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds to solve key problem that PRP cannot be released under control release time is too short, thus better promote bone repair. Consequently, composite displayed a good mechanical property sustained...
