Plants are constantly exposed to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that released during plant-plant communication, within-plant self-signaling, and plant-microbe interactions. Therefore, understanding VOC perception downstream signaling is vital for unraveling the mechanisms behind information exchange in plants, which remain largely unexplored. Using hormone-like function of terpenoids reproductive organ development as a system with visual marker we demonstrate petunia karrikin-insensitive...
The BRI1-EMS suppressor 1 (BES1)/brassinazole-resistant (BZR1) transcription factors, key components in the brassinosteroid signaling pathway, play pivotal roles plant growth and development. However, function of BES1/BZR1 crops during stress response remains poorly understood. In present study, we characterized ZmBES1/BZR1-5 from maize, which was localized to nucleus responsive abscisic acid (ABA), salt drought stresses. Heterologous expression transgenic Arabidopsis resulted decreased ABA...
Abstract The BES1/BZR1 transcription factors regulate the expression of genes responsive to brassinosteroids and play pivotal roles in plant development, but their role regulating kernel development maize remains unclear. In this study, we found that ZmBES1/BZR1-5 positively regulates size. Association analysis candidate 513 diverse inbred lines indicated three SNPs related were significantly associated with width whilst four 100-kernel weight. Overexpression Arabidopsis rice both increased...
Serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) dephosphorylates proteins and plays crucial roles in plant growth, development, stress response. In this study, we characterized a clade B member of maize PP2C family, i.e., ZmPP2C26, that negatively regulated drought tolerance by dephosphorylating ZmMAPK3 ZmMAPK7 maize. The ZmPP2C26 gene generated ZmPP2C26L ZmPP2C26S isoforms through untypical alternative splicing. lost 71 amino acids including an MAPK interaction motif showed higher activity...
In maize soybean intercropping-system plants significantly increase the shade density at canopy, and few people studied threshold level of for sustainable production in this system.This experiment was started to determine effect four different treatments T75 (75%); T50 (50%); T25 (25%); T0 (0%, control) on morphology, physiology yield plants.Relative T75, increased stem diameter breaking strength while plant height decreased.The chlorophyll a, b, a + photosynthetic fluorescence...
The BRI1-EMS suppressor 1 (BES1)/brassinazole-resistant 1(BZR1) transcription factors play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and stress response. However, little is known about the function of maize's BES1/BZR1s. In this study, ZmBES1/BZR1-3 ZmBES1/BZR1-9 genes were cloned from inbred line, B73, they functionally evaluated by analyzing their expression pattern, subcellular localization, transcriptional activation activity, as well heterologous Arabidopsis, respectively. results...
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development, functions as a cofactor hundreds of transcription factors enzymes in numerous biological processes. deficiency common abiotic stress resulting yield loss quality deterioration crops, but zinc excess causes toxicity systems. In plants, homeostasis tightly modulated by transporters binding compounds that uptake/release, transport, localize, store zinc, well their upstream regulators. Lazarus 1 (LAZ1), member DUF300 protein...
Background Anoectochilus roxburghii and formosanus , belong to the genus, have been used for Chinese herbal drugs as well health food. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), key enzyme in primary metabolism phenylpropanoid metabolism, produces secondary metabolites (flavonoids) plants, which are beneficial biosynthesis of metabolites. Methods The PAL genes were cloned from A. according our previous transcriptomic analysis. PALs introduced into pCAMBIA2300-35S-PAL-eGFP generate 35S-PAL-eGFP....
Calcium-dependent protein kinase (CPKs) is a key player in the calcium signaling pathway to decode signals into various physiological responses. cDNA sequences of 9 ZmCPK genes were successfully cloned from all four phylogenetic groups maize. qRT-PCR analysis showed expression variation these selected under abscisic acid (ABA) and chloride (CaCl2) treatment. Due presence N-myristoylation/palmitoylation sites, members localized plasma membrane. To clarify whether ZmCPK, signaling, interacts...
Trehalose is a reducing disaccharide, acting as protectant against various environmental stresses in numerous organisms. In plants, trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) plays crucial role trehalose biosynthesis. Anoectochilus roxburghii (Wall.) Lindl. prominent species of the genus, widely utilized health food. However, functional analysis TPS this has been limited. study, genes were cloned from A. roxburghii. The ArTPS gene, with an open reading frame spanning 2850 bp, encodes 950 amino...
Abstract Plant β-Amylase (BAM) proteins play an essential role in growth, development, stress response, and hormone regulation. Despite their typical (β/α) 8 barrel structure as active catalysts starch breakdown, catalytically inactive BAMs are implicated diverse yet elusive functions plants. The noncatalytic BAM7/8 contain N-terminal BZR1 domains were shown to be involved the regulation of brassinosteroid signaling possibly serve sensors uncharacterized metabolic signal. While structures...
