Abstract Gnetophytes are an enigmatic gymnosperm lineage comprising three genera, Gnetum , Welwitschia and Ephedra which morphologically distinct from all other seed plants. Their distinctiveness has triggered much debate as to their origin, evolution phylogenetic placement among To increase our understanding of the gnetophytes, relation plants, we report here a high-quality draft genome sequence for montanum first any gnetophyte. By using novel assembly strategy deal with high levels...
Land plants first evolved from freshwater algae, and flowering returned to water as early the Cretaceous multiple times subsequently. Alismatales is largest clade of aquatic angiosperms including all marine angiosperms, well terrestrial plants. We used explore plant adaptations environments by analyzing a data set that included 95 samples (89 species) covering four genomes 91 transcriptomes (59 generated in this study). To provide basis for investigating adaptations, we assessed phylogenetic...
Abstract Background Hydrocharitaceae is a fully aquatic monocot family, consists of 18 genera with approximately 120 species. The family includes both fresh and marine aquatics exhibits great diversity in form habit including annual perennial life histories; submersed, partially submersed floating leaf habits linear to orbicular shapes. has cosmopolitan distribution well represented the Tertiary fossil record Europe. At present, historical biogeography not understood generic relationships...
Abstract Pontederia cordata L. is an aquatic ornamental plant native to the Americas, but has been widely distributed in South Asia, Australia, and Europe. The genetic mechanisms behind its rapid adaptation spread have not yet well understood. To understand for adaptation, this study assembled first chromosome-level genome of P. cordata. assembly, which spans 527.5 Mb, anchored on eight pseudochromosomes with a scaffold N50 48 Mb encompasses 29,389 protein-coding genes. Further analyses...
SERPINE1 mRNA-binding protein 1 (SERBP1) is an arginine-methylated RNA-binding whose modification affects interaction and intracellular localization. In the present study, we show that, under normal growth conditions without stress, SERBP1 interacts with stress granule-associated proteins such as heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1, fragile X mental retardation syndrome-related in RNA-dependent manner. We also after arsenite treatment, a proportion of full-length co-localizes typical...
Abstract Protein arginine methylation regulates a broad array of cellular processes. SERBP1 implicated in tumor progression through its putative involvement the plaminogen activator protease cascade, is an RNA‐binding protein containing RG‐rich domain and RGG box that might be methylated by N ‐methyltransferases (PRMTs). Asymmetric dimethylarginine (aDMA) was detected indirect methyltransferase inhibitor adenosine dialdehyde (AdOx) significantly reduced signals. Arginines middle RG...
Abstract Adaptation to aquatic habitats is a formidable challenge for terrestrial angiosperms that has long intrigued scientists. As part of suite work explore the molecular mechanism adaptation habitats, we here sequenced transcriptome submerged plant Ranunculus bungei and two relatives R. cantoniensis brotherusii , followed by comparative evolutionary analyses determine candidate genes adaption habitats. We obtained 126,037, 140,218 114,753 contigs respectively. Bidirectional Best Hit...
Moringa oleifera and M. peregrina are robust fast-growing trees. These trees considered some of the most highly valued worldwide because their properties uses. This study aimed to investigate determine content phytochemical nutrient compounds in fresh leaves mature seeds both peregrina. The experimental data analysis showed that all four extracts were rich proximate minerals, fatty acids (FA), un-saponified polyphenolic components. total percentages saturated unsaturated obtained from (45.02...
Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to cope with the fluctuating environmental availability of nitrogen. However, potential genes modulating plant responses nitrate are yet be characterized. Here, a poplar GATA transcription factor gene PdGNC (GATA nitrate-inducible carbon-metabolism-involved) was found strongly induced by low nitrate. Overexpressing in clone 717-1B4 (P. tremula × alba) significantly improved uptake, remobilization, and assimilation higher nitrogen use efficiency (NUE)...
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent form of cancer (TC). There increasing evidence that circular RNAs play a role in tumorigenesis PTC. The aim our study was to evaluate potential function circ_0067934 PTC and underlying molecular mechanism. In study, cell viability assay, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), colony formation flow cytometry, wound-healing Transwell invasion western blot, soft agar RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), dual-luciferase reporter...
Rubia yunnanensis Diels (R. yunnanensis), a Chinese perennial plant, is well-known for its medicinal values such as rheumatism, contusion, and anemia. It rich in bioactive anthraquinones, but the biosynthetic pathways of anthraquinones R. remain unknown. To investigate genes involved anthraquinone biosynthesis yunnanensis, we generated de novo transcriptome using Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing platform. A total 636,198 transcripts were obtained, which 140,078 successfully annotated....
ABSTRACT An xps gene cluster composed of 11 open reading frames is required for the type II protein secretion in Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. Immediately upstream xpsD gene, which encodes an outer membrane that serves as channel by forming multimers, there exists frame (previously designated ORF2) could encode a 261 amino acid residues. Its N-terminal hydrophobic region likely membrane-anchoring sequence. Antibody raised against this detect wild-type strain X. band with apparent...
Moringa is a mono-genus belonging to the Moringaceae family, which includes 13 species. Among them, peregrina plant species native Arabian Peninsula, Southern Sinai in Egypt, and Horn of Africa, comprehensive studies on its nutritional, industrial, medicinal values have been performed. Herein, we sequenced analyzed initial complete chloroplast genome peregrina. Concurrently, new along with 25 genomes related representing eight families Brassicales order. The results indicate that plastome...
ABSTRACT Type II secretion machinery is composed of 12 to 15 proteins for translocating extracellular across the outer membrane. XpsL, XpsM, and XpsN are components such in plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. All bitopic cytoplasmic-membrane proteins, each with a large C-terminal periplasmic domain. They have been demonstrated form dissociable ternary complex. By analyzing C-terminally truncated PhoA fusions, we discovered that truncation 103 residues produced functional...
Quality of gene expression analyses using de novo assembled transcripts in species that experienced recent polyploidization remains unexplored.Differential (DGE) putative genes inferred by Trinity, Corset and Grouper performed slightly differently across five plant various polyploidy histories. In lack events occurred the past several millions years, DGE transcriptomes identified 54-82% differentially expressed recovered mapping reads to reference genes. However, more events, percentage...
Abstract Lobelioideae comprise about 1200 species in 30 genera worldwide and include famous cases of parallel evolution the “giant rosette” lobelias occurring East Africa, Hawaii, Bhutan. To date, no phylogeny has included Himalayan giant lobelia, its age phylogenetic distance from Hawaiian African (the latter same section as Bhutan species) are therefore unknown. Asian general have received little attention, partly because difficult access to material. Here we use nuclear plastid markers...
Pontederia cordata L. is an aquatic horticultural plant in Commelinales and native to the American continent. The has shown invasive tendencies areas where it introduced. However, adaptive mechanism of P. remained unclear. We here obtained a chromosome-level genome with total size 527.5 Mb 29,389 protein-coding genes. found that experienced three whole duplication (WGD) events, leading expansion resistance gene analogs (RGAs) transcription factors (TFs). KEGG analysis showed positive...
The major pseudopilin XpsG is an essential component of type II secretion apparatus Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. Along with other ancillary pseudopilins, it forms a pilus-like structure spanning between cytoplasmic and outer membranes. Associations pseudopilins non-pseudopilin members were not well documented, probably due to their dynamic or unstable nature. In this study, by treating intact cells cleavable cross-linker dithiobis(succinimidylpropionate) (DSP), followed metal...
