Abstract Sun-loving plants trigger the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) to compete against their neighbors for sunlight. Phytochromes are plant red (R) and far-red (FR) light photoreceptors that play a major role in perceiving shading signals triggering SAS. Shade induces reduction level of active phytochrome B (phyB), thus increasing abundance PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORS (PIFs), group growth-promoting transcription factors. However, whether other factors involved modulating PIF activity...
Abstract SnSe, as a novel thermoelectric material, has ultrahigh properties in its single crystals, while the of polycrystals need to be further improved. Introducing atomic disorder increase lattice anharmonicity material is typical strategy reduce thermal conductivity and enhance properties. Ag Pb co-doping increased effective carrier mass samples, resultant strong phonon scattering leads drastic decrease over whole temperature range, at same time, optimizes energy-band structure which...
Abstract Plant hydraulic traits primarily define the water regulation strategy, thus enabling a better understanding of vegetation structure, function and dynamics under varying hydro‐environments. Despite being intensively documented in woody species, variation correlation across herbaceous species remain largely understudied. Here, we report on leaf hydraulics nine herbs with contrasting growth forms (graminoid forb). Traits quantifying drought resistance, including potential thresholds...
Previous research has unearthed the integration of coat protein (CP) gene from alphapartitivirus into plant genomes. Nevertheless, prevalence this horizontal transfer (HGT) between partitiviruses and cellular organisms remains an enigma. In our investigation, we discovered a novel partitivirus, designated Sclerotinia sclerotiorum 1 (SsAPV1), hypovirulent strain sclerotiorum. Intriguingly, traced homologs SsAPV1 CP to genomes, including Helianthus annuus. To delve deeper, employed...
Significance The plant phytochrome molecule consists of an N-terminal photosensory domain and a C-terminal dimerization domain, connected by flexible hinge region. It was previously shown that serine residue in the region oat A (phyA) could be phosphorylated vivo plays important role regulating phyA function. However, little is known regarding function Arabidopsis phyA. Here, we show three residues are essential phosphorylation Our study thus provides new insights into regulatory region,...
Phytochrome A (phyA) is the far-red (FR) light photoreceptor in plants that essential for seedling de-etiolation under FR-rich environments, such as canopy shade. TANDEM ZINC-FINGER/PLUS3 (TZP) was recently identified a key component of phyA signal transduction Arabidopsis thaliana; however, how TZP integrated into signaling networks remains largely obscure. Here, we demonstrate ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5), well-characterized transcription factor promoting photomorphogenesis, mediates FR...
Purpose: Mutations in the ORF15 region of RPGR account for approximately half all X-linked retinitis pigmentosa cases. However, a robust high-throughput method detection mutations has yet to be validated. We set out develop first clinically validated next-generation sequencing (NGS) this difficult-to-sequence region, including test accuracy and coverage data. Methods: As part blind-test, 145 research samples, previously tested by Sanger sequencing, 81 clinical samples were evaluated using...
Pro‑inflammatory (M1) macrophages have key roles in atherogenesis. As β‑glucan has been demonstrated to exert pro‑inflammatory effects, the present study examined whether exerts atherogenic effects via converting into M1 phenotype. The results from reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry, western blotting and transmission electron microscope indicated that macrophage markers inducible nitric oxide synthase cluster of differentiation 80 were upregulated,...
Via virome sequencing, six viruses were detected from Magnaporthe oryzae strains YC81-2, including one virus in the family Tombusviridae, Narnaviridae and four Botourmiaviridae. Since RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of botourmiavirus show highest identity (79%) with ourmia-like 1 (MOLV1), that was grouped into genus Magoulivirus designated as 2 (MOBV2). The three other novel botourmiaviruses selected for further study. complete nucleotide sequences determined. Sequence analysis showed 1,...
Endornaviruses are capsidless linear (+) ssRNA viruses in the family Endornaviridae. In this study, Scelrotinia sclerotiorum endornavirus 11 (SsEV11), a novel infecting hypovirulent Sclerotinia strain XY79, was identified and cloned using virome sequencing analysis rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) techniques. The full-length genome SsEV11 is 11906 nt length with large ORF, which encodes polyprotein 3928 amino acid residues, containing viral methyltransferase domain, cysteine-rich...
The overexpression of peroxiredoxins (prxs) has been shown to be associated with the development, progression and drug resistance cancer. However, role prxs in ovarian cancer is unknown. present study aimed investigate effect mechanism downregulation PRDX3 on cisplatin‑induced cell apoptosis. expression was examined by immunohistochemistry. apoptosis silencing determined proliferation colony formation assays examination tumor growth nude mice. To further behind PRDX3, anti‑apoptotic proteins...
The mechanisms eliciting colorectal adenocarcinoma are not well understood and the FBXL20 gene is problematic as it exhibits an abnormal expression in cancer cells. In present study a recombinant plasmid, pReceiver‑M03‑FBL20 plasmid was constructed, which overexpressed FBXL20; this transfected into Lovo cells to form Lovo‑FBL20 level examined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) western blot analysis. cell viability invasion capacity were measured using counting kit 8, Transwell...
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is an ascomycetous fungus and hosts various mycoviruses. In this study, a novel fungal alphaflexivirus with special genomic structure, named 1 (SsAFV1), was cloned from hypovirulent strain, AHS31. Strain AHS31 also co-infected two botourmiaviruses mitoviruses. The complete genome of SsAFV1 comprised 6939 bases four open reading frames (ORFs), conserved 5′-untranslated region (UTR), poly(A) tail in the 3′ terminal; ORF1 ORF3 encoded replicase coat protein (CP),...

To enhance plant fitness under natural conditions, the circadian clock is synchronized and entrained by light via photoreceptors. In turn, exquisitely regulates abundance activity of photoreceptors largely uncharacterized mechanisms. Here we show that regulator TIME FOR COFFEE (TIC) controls far-red photoreceptor phytochrome A (phyA) at multiple levels in Arabidopsis thaliana. Null mutants TIC displayed dramatically increased sensitivity to irradiation with respect hypocotyl growth,...
