Diabetic patients continue to develop inflammation and vascular complications even after achieving glycemic control. This poorly understood "metabolic memory" phenomenon poses major challenges in treating diabetes. Recent studies demonstrate a link between epigenetic changes such as chromatin histone lysine methylation gene expression. We hypothesized that H3 lysine-9 tri-methylation (H3K9me3), key repressive relatively stable mark, may be involved metabolic memory. was tested smooth muscle...

Various drying pretreatment techniques play an important role in the process. This study investigated effect of ultrasound (US), osmosis (OM) and freeze-thaw (FT) pretreatments on hot-air characteristics, physical rehydration allicin content garlic. The results showed that application different increased efficiency reduced total energy consumption, compared with unpretreated Particularly, garlic US time by 450, 270 90 min consumption was 24.45%, 20.60% 18.09% less at 50, 60 70 °C,...

Plant-mediated interactions between herbivorous arthropods and pathogens transmitted by herbivores are important determinants of the population dynamics both types organisms in field. The role plant defence mediating these tripartite have been recognized but rarely examined especially at physiological molecular levels. Our previous work shows that a worldwide invasive whitefly can establish mutualism with begomovirus Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV) via crop plants. Here, we...

Abstract Transcription factors (TFs) and their target genes have important functions in human diseases biological processes. Gene expression profile analysis before after knockdown or knockout is one of the most strategies for obtaining TFs exploring TF functions. Human gene datasets with are accumulating rapidly. Based on urgent need to comprehensively effectively collect process these data, we developed KnockTF (http://www.licpathway.net/KnockTF/index.html), a comprehensive database...

Deficiency of certain elements can cause leaf chlorosis in Areca catechu L. trees, which causes considerable production loss. The linkage between nutrient deficiency and phenomenon physiological defect A. remains unclear. Here, we found that low iron supply is a determinant for seedling, excessive resulted dark green leaves. We also observed morphological characters seedlings under different levels compared their fresh weight, chlorophyll contents, chloroplast structures photosynthetic...

Programmed cell death (PCD) is of fundamental importance to development and defense in animals plants. In plants, a well-recognized form PCD hypersensitive response (HR) triggered by pathogens, which involves the generation reactive oxygen species (ROS) other signaling molecules. While mitochondrion master regulator animals, chloroplast known regulate Arabidopsis Mosaic Death 1 (MOD1), an enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase essential for fatty acid biosynthesis chloroplasts,...

In plants and animals, nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat domain containing (NLR) immune receptors are utilized to detect the presence or activities of pathogen-derived molecules. However, mechanisms by which NLR proteins induce defense responses remain unclear. Here, we report characterization one basic Helix-loop-Helix (bHLH) type transcription factor (TF), bHLH84, identified from a reverse genetic screen. It functions as transcriptional activator that enhances autoimmunity mutant snc1...

Wood formation is a complex developmental process, exhibiting continuous and iterative growth habit because of the existence stem cells in vascular cambium (Smetana et al., 2019). The process controlled by hierarchical gene regulatory networks that regulate specific pathways. Stem-differentiating xylem (SDX), wood-forming tissue part inner cambium, differentiates into different types cells. However, we currently lack distinct genetic markers defining sub-stages or cell SDX differentiation...

Maize is susceptible to drought stress, especially during germination. The experiment of seed germination and seedling growth two maize varieties under different concentration mannitol solution was carried out. Four concentrations were set: 0, 200, 400 600 mM, the corresponding osmotic potential was: -0.49, -0.99, -1.49 Mpa. Results indicated that Zhengdan958 germinated more quickly in greater numbers than Liansheng15. rate, potential, shoot root fresh weight, length both decreased but they...

Crucifer shoots harbor a glucosinolate-myrosinase system that defends against insect predation. Arabidopsis thaliana myrosinase (thioglucoside glucohydrolase [TGG]) accumulates in stomata and myrosin idioblasts (MIs). This work reports the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor FAMA is key to stomatal development also expressed MIs. The loss of function abolishes MI fate as well expression genes TGG1 TGG2. cells have previously been reported be located phloem. Instead, we found MIs...

Lipoxygenases (LOXs), a type of non-haem iron-containing dioxygenase, are ubiquitous enzymes in plants and participate the formation fruit aroma which is very important aspect quality. Amongst various volatiles, saturated unsaturated alcohols aldehydes provide characteristic fruit. These compounds formed from fatty acids through oxidation, pyrolysis reduction steps. This biosynthetic pathway involves at least four enzymes, including LOX, enzyme responsible for lipid oxidation. Although some...

Salicylic acid (SA) serves as a critical signaling molecule in plant defense. Two transcription factors, SARD1 and CBP60g, control SA biosynthesis through regulating pathogen-induced expression of Isochorismate Synthase1, which encodes key enzyme for biosynthesis. Here, we report that Pattern-Triggered Immunity Compromised Receptor-like Cytoplasmic Kinase1 (PCRK1) PCRK2 function regulators In the pcrk1 pcrk2 double mutant, SARD1, ICS1 is greatly reduced. The but neither single mutants,...
