Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is toxic to plant cells. Under Cd exposure, the displayed leaf chlorosis, which a typical symptom of iron (Fe) deficiency. Interactions with Fe have been reported. However, molecular mechanisms Cd-Fe interactions are not well understood. Here, we showed that FER-like Deficiency Induced Transcripition Factor (FIT), AtbHLH38, and AtbHLH39, three basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors involved in homeostasis plants, also play important roles tolerance. The gene...
Root growth control plays an important role in plant adaptation to drought stress, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of this remain largely elusive. Here, a root-specific nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) transcription PdNF-YB21 was isolated from Populus. The functional mechanism characterised by various morphological, physiological, molecular, biochemical and spectroscopy techniques. Overexpression poplar promoted root with highly lignified enlarged xylem vessels, resulting increased...
Abstract DEAD box helicase 17 (DDX17) has been reported to be involved in the initiation and development of several cancers. However, functional role mechanisms DDX17 colorectal cancer (CRC) malignant progression metastasis remain unclear. Here, we that expression was increased CRC tissues compared with noncancerous mucosa further upregulated liver patient-paired primary tumors. High levels were significantly correlated aggressive phenotypes worse clinical outcomes patients. Ectopic promoted...
Rice is a staple food for 350 million people globally. Its yield thus affects global security. Drought serious environmental factor affecting rice growth. Alleviating the inhibition of drought stress an urgent challenge that should be solved to enhance growth and yield. This review details effects on morphology, physiology, biochemistry, genes associated with response, their biological functions, molecular regulatory pathways. The further highlights main future research directions...
Several mechanisms have been proposed to account for the origination of new genes. Despite extensive case studies, general principles governing this fundamental process are still unclear at whole-genome level. Here, we unveil genome-wide patterns mutational leading genes and their subsequent lineage-specific evolution different time nodes in Drosophila melanogaster species subgroup. We find that (1) tandem gene duplication has generated ∼80% nascent duplicates limited single ( D. or yakuba...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are approximately 19 ~ 21 nucleotide noncoding RNAs produced by Dicer-catalyzed excision from stem-loop precursors. Many plant miRNAs have critical functions in development, nutrient homeostasis, abiotic stress responses, and pathogen responses via interaction with specific target mRNAs. Camellia sinensis is one of the most important commercial beverage crops world. However, associated cold tolerance C. remains unexplored. The use high-throughput sequencing can provide a...
Summary Grain size, number and starch content are important determinants of grain yield quality. One the most biological processes that determine these components is carbon partitioning during early filling, which requires function cell wall invertase. Here, we showed constitutive expression invertase–encoding gene from Arabidopsis , rice ( Oryza sativa ) or maize Zea mays ), driven by cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter, all increased invertase activities in different tissues...
Abstract For most sequenced flowering plants, multiple whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are found. Duplicated genes following WGD often have different fates that can quickly disappear again, be retained for long(er) periods, or subsequently undergo small-scale duplications. However, how expression, epigenetic regulation, and functional constraints associated with these gene a still requires further investigation due to successive WGDs in angiosperms complicating the trajectories. In this...
Summary Drought is one of the primary abiotic stresses, seriously implicating plant growth and productivity. Stomata play a crucial role in regulating drought tolerance. However, molecular mechanism on stomatal movement‐mediated tolerance remains unclear. Using genetic, biochemical techniques, we identified that PdGNC directly activating promoter PdHXK1 by binding GATC element, hexokinase (HXK) synthesis key gene. Here, , member GATA transcription factor family, was greatly induced abscisic...
The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is crucial for seed germination and abiotic stress tolerance. However, the association between ABA sensitivity tolerance remains largely unknown. In this study, 436 rice accessions were assessed their to during germination. considerable diversity in among germplasm was primarily reflected by differentiation Xian (indica) Geng (japonica) subspecies upland-Geng lowland-Geng ecotypes. most sensitive ABA. Genome-wide analyses identified four major...
Abstract Objectives A patient with extensive atrophy of the alveolar ridge in posterior portion maxilla was selected to complete an experimental and clinical case robotic zygomatic implant investigate viability system use. Methods The preoperative digital information collected, implantation position personalized optimization marks needed for robot surgery were designed advance a repair-oriented way. resin models patient’s mandible are all printed 3D. Custom-made special precision drills...
LINE‐1s (long interspersed nuclear elements‐1) are abundant non‐LTR retrotransposons that comprise 17% of the human genome. The 5′ untranslated region (5′UTR) L1 (L1Hs) houses a poorly understood internal promoter. Here we report mutations at putative runt‐domain transcription factor (RUNX) site (+83 to +101) in 5′UTR decreased L1Hs and retrotransposition cell culture‐based assays. Exogenous expression RUNX3, but not other two RUNX family members, RUNX1 RUNX2, increased retrotransposition,...
Summary Iron is an essential nutrient for plant growth and development, its absorption tightly controlled. Under iron limitation, FIT dimerizes with the four Ib bHLH proteins activates expression of uptake genes. However, how dimerized complex downstream genes remains unclear. Using forward genetics, a low‐iron‐sensitive mutant was screened. The corresponding gene ( MED 16 ) isolated, biological functions in homeostasis were characterized using approaches such as expression, protein...
Nanopore sequencing is promising because of its long read length and high speed. During sequencing, a strand DNA/RNA passes through biological nanopore, which causes the current in pore to fluctuate. basecalling, context-dependent measurements are translated into base sequence strand. Accurate fast basecalling vital for downstream analyses such as genome assembly detecting single-nucleotide polymorphisms genomic structural variants. However, owing various changes molecules, noise during...
Monocots are one of the most diverse groups flowering plants, and tracing evolution their ancestral genome into modern species is essential for understanding evolutionary success. Here, we report a high-quality assembly Acorus tatarinowii genome, that diverged early from all other monocots. Genome-wide comparisons with range representative monocots characterized as slowly evolved whole-genome duplication. Our inference monocot karyotypes provides new insights chromosomal history assigned to...
Tarsiger indicus (Vieillot, 1817), the White-browed Bush Robin, is a small passerine bird widely distributed in Asian countries. Here, we successfully sequenced its mitogenome using Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) for PE 2 × 150 bp sequencing. Combined with other published mitogenomes, conducted first comprehensive comparative analysis of Muscicapidae birds and reconstructed phylogenetic relationships between related groups. The T. was 16,723 size, it possessed...
Previous studies of repetitive elements (REs) have implicated a mechanistic role in generating new chimerical genes. Such examples are consistent with the classic model for exon shuffling, which relies on non-homologous recombination. However, recent data chromosomal aberrations organisms suggest that ectopic homology-dependent recombination may also be important. Lack dataset comprising experimentally verified young duplicates has hampered an effective examination these models as well...

Sequence expression analysis demonstrates that one duplicates, nsr (novel...
Abstract Background Drosophila albomicans is a unique model organism for studying both sex chromosome and B evolution. A pair of its autosomes comprising roughly 40% the whole genome has fused to ancient X Y chromosomes only about 0.12 million years ago, thereby creating youngest most gene-rich neo-sex system reported date. This species also possesses recently derived that show non-Mendelian inheritance significantly influence fertility. Methods We sequenced male flies with at 124.5-fold...
