Abstract OsbZIP23 is a member of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor family in rice (Oryza sativa). Expression strongly induced by wide spectrum stresses, including drought, salt, abscisic acid (ABA), and polyethylene glycol treatments, while other stress-responsive genes this are slightly only one or two stresses. Transactivation assay yeast demonstrated that functions as transcriptional activator, sequences at N terminus (amino acids 1–59) region close to C 210–240)...
Abstract OsbZIP46 is one member of the third subfamily bZIP transcription factors in rice (Oryza sativa). It has high sequence similarity to ABA-responsive element binding factor (ABF/AREB) ABI5 and OsbZIP23, two transcriptional activators positively regulating stress tolerance Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) rice, respectively. Expression was strongly induced by drought, heat, hydrogen peroxide, abscisic acid (ABA) treatment; however, it not salt cold stresses. Overexpression native gene...
The OsbZIP23 transcription factor has been characterized for its essential role in drought resistance rice (Oryza sativa), but the mechanism is unknown. In this study, we first investigated transcriptional activation of OsbZIP23. A homolog SnRK2 protein kinase (SAPK2) was found to interact with and phosphorylate activation. SAPK2 also interacted OsPP2C49, an ABI1 homolog, which deactivated inhibit activity Next, performed genome-wide identification targets by immunoprecipitation sequencing...
Genetic manipulation of genes to upregulate specific branches metabolic pathways is a method that commonly used improve fruit quality. However, the use single gene impact several difficult. Here, we show overexpression SlMYB75 (SlMYB75-OE) effective at improving multiple quality traits. In these engineered fruits, anthocyanin content reached 1.86 mg g-1 fresh weight red-ripe stage, and SlMYB75-OE tomatoes displayed series physiological changes, including delayed ripening increased ethylene...
GRAS transcription factors usually act as integrators of multiple growth regulatory and environmental signals, including axillary shoot meristem formation, root radial pattering, phytohormones, light signaling, abiotic/biotic stress. However, little is known about this gene family in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the most important model plant for crop species with fleshy fruits. In study, 53 genes were identified renamed based on whole-genome sequence their respective chromosome...
Seedlings of Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck cv. Tuyou were irrigated daily for 5 months with nutrient solution containing 0 (control), 0.2, 0.6 or 1.6 mM aluminum (Al) from AlCl3·6H2O. Shoot growth was more sensitive to Al toxicity than root growth, gas exchange, chlorophyll (Chl) concentration, polyphasic Chl a fluorescence (OJIP) induction and related parameters. Leaves Al-treated plants showed decreased CO2 assimilation yet intercellular concentration increased ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate...
Plants have evolved complicated protective mechanisms to survive adverse conditions. Previously, we reported that the transcription factor OsbZIP46 regulates abscisic acid (ABA) signaling-mediated drought tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa) by modulating stress-related genes. An intrinsic D domain represses activity, but detailed mechanism for repression of activation remains unknown. Here, report an OsbZIP46-interacting protein, MODD (Mediator deactivation and degradation), which is homologous...
Abstract Background Although the effects of P deficiency on tea ( Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) growth, uptake and utilization as well leaf gas exchange Chl a fluorescence have been investigated, very little is known about photosynthetic electron transport, enzymes carbohydrates leaves. In this study, own-rooted 10-month-old trees were supplied three times weekly for 17 weeks with 500 mL nutrient solution at concentration 0, 40, 80, 160, 400 or 1000 μM. This objective study was to...
Abstract Background Very little is known about the effects of manganese (Mn)-excess on citrus photosynthesis and antioxidant systems. Seedlings sour pummelo ( Citrus grandis ) were irrigated for 17 weeks with nutrient solution containing 2 μM (control) or 500 (excess) MnSO 4 . The objective this study to understand mechanisms by which Mn-excess leads a decrease in CO assimilation test hypothesis that Mn-induced changes systems differ between roots leaves. Results decreased stomatal...
Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses threatening rice (Oryza sativa) production worldwide. resistance controlled by multiple genes, and therefore, a multi-gene genetic engineering strategy theoretically useful for improving drought resistance. However, experimental evidence such still lacking. In this study, few drought-responsive genes from were assembled multiple-round site-specific assembly system, constructs introduced into cultivar KY131 via Agrobacterium-mediated...
Abstract Limited data are available on the physiological responses of leaves from fruiting trees to magnesium (Mg) deficiency. Magnesium deficiency–induced effects photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry in ( Citrus reticulate cv. Ponkan) were assessed by chlorophyll a fluorescence (OJIP) transient. deficiency decreased leaf CO 2 assimilation and carbohydrates, but had no effect intercellular concentration. Activity ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) concentrations...
Soil water uptake by roots is a key component of plant performance and adaptation to adverse environments. Here, we use genome-wide association analysis identify the XYLEM NAC DOMAIN 1 (XND1) transcription factor as negative regulator Arabidopsis root hydraulic conductivity (Lpr). The distinct functionalities series natural XND1 variants single nucleotide polymorphism that determines translation efficiency demonstrate significance variation at species-wide level. Phenotyping xnd1 mutants...
The circadian clock regulates plant tissue hydraulics to synchronize water supply with environmental cycles and thereby optimize growth. fluctuations in aquaporin transcript abundance suggest that channels play a role these processes. Here, we show hydraulic conductivity (Kros) of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) rosettes displays genuine rhythmicity peak around midday. Combined immunological proteomic approaches revealed phosphorylation at two C-terminal sites (Ser280, Ser283) PLASMA...
The ripening of fleshy fruits is highly dependent on the regulation endogenous hormones, including ethylene, abscisic acid (ABA) and other phytohormones. However, regulatory mechanism ABA signaling its interaction with ethylene in fruit are still unclear. In this study, multi-gene interference (RNAi) was applied to silence receptor genes tomato for screening specific receptors that mediate during ripening. results indicated receptors, SlRCAR9, SlRCAR12, SlRCAR11, SlRCAR13, participate...
