Root-shoot communications play important roles in plant stress responses. Here, we examined the of root-sourced signals shoot response to heat cucumber plants. Cucumber plants grafted onto their own roots and luffa were exposed aerial root-zone examine tolerance by assessing levels oxidative stress, PSII photoinhibition, accumulation abscisic acid (ABA), H2 O2 shock protein (HSP) 70 using immunoblotting, chlorophyll fluorescence, immunoassay, CeCl3 staining Western blotting, respectively....
Seeds are a vital source of calories for humans and unique stage in the life cycle flowering plants. During seed germination, embryo undergoes major developmental transitions to become seedling. Studying gene expression individual cell types has been challenging due lack spatial information or low throughput existing methods. To overcome these limitations, transcriptomics workflow was developed germinating barley grain. This approach enabled high-throughput analysis expression, revealing...
Plants acclimate rapidly to stressful environmental conditions. Increasing atmospheric CO2 levels are predicted influence tolerance stresses such as soil salinity but the mechanisms poorly understood. To resolve this issue, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants were grown under ambient (380 μmol mol–1) or high (760 in absence presence of sodium chloride (100mM). The higher level induced expression RESPIRATORY BURST OXIDASE 1 (SlRBOH1) and enhanced H2O2 accumulation vascular cells roots,...
Flooding causes severe crop losses in many parts of the world. Genetic variation flooding tolerance exists species; however, there are few examples for identification genes and their underlying function. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) 387 Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) accessions. Plants were subjected to prolonged submergence followed by desubmergence, seven traits (score, water content, Fv/Fm, concentrations nitrate, chlorophyll, protein, starch) quantified...
Statin therapy is a highly successful and cost-effective strategy for the prevention treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Adjusting statin usage crucial when exploring association lipidome with CVD to avoid erroneous conclusions. However, practical challenges arise in real-world scenarios due frequent absence information. To address this limitation, we demonstrate that can be accurately predicted using lipidomic data. Using three large population datasets longitudinal clinical study,...
Abstract Optimal stomatal regulation is important for plant adaptation to changing environmental conditions and maintaining crop yield. The guard cell signal γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) produced from glutamate by decarboxylase (GAD) during a reaction that generates CO2 as by-product. Here, we investigated putative connection between GABA signalling the more clearly defined pathway in cells. GABA-deficient mutant Arabidopsis lines gad2-1, gad2-2, gad1/2/4/5 were examined sensitivity various...
Soybean (Glycine max) is an important crop providing oil and protein for both human animal consumption. Knowing which biological processes take place in specific tissues a temporal manner will enable directed breeding or synthetic approaches to improve seed quantity quality. We analyzed genome-wide transcriptome dataset from embryo, endosperm, endothelium, epidermis, hilum, outer inner integument suspensor at the global, heart cotyledon stages of soybean development. The tissue specificity...
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for plant growth often limiting agroecosystems. To identify genetic determinants of performance under variable phosphate (Pi) supply, we conducted genome-wide association studies on five highly predictive Pi starvation response traits in 200 Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) accessions. concentration Pi-limited organs had the strongest, and primary root length weakest component. Of 70 trait-associated candidate genes, 17 responded to withdrawal. The...
Abstract Oat (Avena sativa) is a cereal crop whose grains are rich in (1,3;1,4)-β-D-glucan (mixed-linkage glucan or MLG), soluble dietary fiber. In our study, we analyzed oat endosperm development 2 Canadian varieties with differing MLG content and nutritional value. We confirmed that undergoes nuclear type of but shorter cellularization phase than barley (Hordeum vulgare). Callose cellulose were the first polysaccharides to be detected early anticlinal cell walls at 11 days postemergence...
Abstract Seeds, which provide a major source of calories for humans, are unique stage flowering plant ‘s lifecycle. During seed germination the embryo reactivates rapidly and goes through developmental transitions to become seedling. This requires extensive complex spatiotemporal coordination cell tissue activity. Existing gene expression profiling methods, such as laser capture microdissection followed by RNA-seq single-cell RNA-seq, suffer from either low throughput or loss spatial...
scCloudMine is a cloud-based application for visualization, comparison, and exploration of single-cell transcriptome data. It does not require an on-site, high-power computing server, installation, or associated expertise expense. Users upload their own publicly available scRNA-seq datasets after pre-processing visualization using web browser. The data can be viewed in two color modes—Cluster, representing cell identity, Values, showing levels expression—and queried keywords gene...
Summary The Single Cell App is a cloud-based application that allows visualisation and comparison of scRNA-seq data scalable according to use. Users upload their own or publicly available datasets after pre-processing be visualised using web browser. can viewed in two colour modes, Cluster - representing cell identity, Values – level expression, queried keyword gene identification number(s). Using the app compare four different studies we determined some genes frequently used as cell-type...
