Long-distance transport of nitrate requires xylem loading and unloading, a successive process that determines distribution subsequent assimilation efficiency. Here, we report the functional characterization NRT1.8, member transporter (NRT1) family in Arabidopsis thaliana. NRT1.8 is upregulated by nitrate. Histochemical analysis using promoter-beta-glucuronidase fusions, as well situ hybridization, showed expressed predominantly parenchyma cells within vasculature. Transient expression...
Silicon (Si) can improve drought tolerance in plants, but the mechanism is still not fully understood. Previous research has been concentrating on Si's role leaf water maintenance Si accumulators, while little information available its uptake and less Si-accumulating plants. Here, we investigated effects of root decreasing oxidative damage relation to hydraulic conductance tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Zhongza No.9') under stress. Tomato seedlings were subjected stress induced by 10% (w/v)...
Abstract Impacts of reactive nitrogen (N) inputs on ecosystem carbon (C) dynamics are highly variable, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we proposed a new conceptual framework that integrates plant, microbial geochemical to reconcile diverse contrasting impacts N soil C. This was tested using long‐term enrichment acid addition experiments in Mongolian steppe grassland. Distinct could explain effects particulate mineral‐associated C pools, potentially explaining...
Abstract Flickering light stimulation has emerged as a promising non-invasive neuromodulation strategy to alleviate neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the lack of neurochemical underpinning hampered its therapeutic development. Here, we demonstrate that flickering triggered an immediate and sustained increase (up 3 h after flickering) in extracellular adenosine levels primary visual cortex (V1) other brain regions, function frequency intensity, with maximal effects observed at 40 Hz 4000...
American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was devastated by an exotic pathogen in the beginning of twentieth century. This blight is caused Cryphonectria parasitica, a fungus that infects stem tissues and kills trees girdling them. Because great economic ecological value this species, significant efforts have been made over century to combat disease, but it wasn't until recently focused genomics approach initiated. Prior Genomic Tool Development for Fagaceae project, genomic resources available...
Water deficit is one of the main limiting factors in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) cultivation. Root architecture plays an important role drought tolerance plants; however, research efforts to improve trees have focused on aboveground targets. Due difficulties associated with visualization and data analysis, there currently a poor understanding genetic players molecular mechanisms involved root under conditions. We previously observed that MdMYB88 its paralog MdMYB124 regulate tree...
Silicon can improve drought tolerance of plants, but the mechanism still remains unclear. Previous studies have mainly concentrated on silicon-accumulating whereas less work has been conducted in silicon-excluding such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). In this study, we investigated effects exogenous silicon (2.5 mmol L−1) chlorophyll fluorescence and expression photosynthesis-related genes seedlings (Zhongza 9) under water stress induced by 10% (w/v) polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000). The...
Abstract It is known that oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) pathogenesis. Alpha-mangostin the main xanthone purified from mangosteen as anti-oxidative properties. The aim of study was to test protective effect alpha-mangostin against both retina light-damaged mice model and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O )-stressed RPE cells. We observed significantly inhibited light-induced photoreceptors 200 μM H -induced apoptosis generation reactive oxygen species...
Tobacco rattle virus (TRV)-mediated virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) has been frequently used in dicots. Here we show that it can also be monocots, by presenting a system involving use of novel infiltration solution (containing acetosyringone, cysteine, and Tween 20) enables whole-plant level VIGS (germinated) seeds wheat maize. Using the established system, phytoene desaturase (PDS) genes were successfully silenced, resulting typical photo-bleaching symptoms leaves treated In addition,...
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an important enzyme that acts as the first line of protection in plant antioxidant defense system, involved eliminating reactive oxygen species (ROS) under harsh environmental conditions. Nevertheless, SOD gene family was yet to be reported rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). Thus, a genome-wide investigation carried out identify genes. The present study recognized 31 BnSOD genes genome, including 14 BnCSDs, 11 BnFSDs, and six BnMSDs. Phylogenetic analysis revealed...
